HI

I can't quite remember
specifically when it started but it was a few weeks ago. I use the opensuse
11.2 Factory repos but i've now gone back to the Stable repos but it doesn;t
seem to have made any difference.
I used the rebuild indexes option today
but so far i've not received any emails yet to see if that made a
difference. The rebuilding did cause a few emails to suddenly become
"unread" again.

Thanks for a response
