I ran a chmod 777 * on my home folder. (I know, I know. I'll never do it again.)

Ever since then, fetchmail seems to be broken.

I use it to fetch mail from an Exchange 2003 mailbox through DAVMail and OWA.

The problem is that fetchmail complains about an "expunge mismatch" whenever I get a new message. It deletes the message from the Exchange mailbox, yet it never forwards it. There seems to be a problem somwhere along the mail processing, but I haven't been able to pinpoint where.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are the relevant config files.

~/fetchmailrc:

set no bouncemail
defaults:
  antispam -1
  batchlimit 100
poll localhost with protocol imap and port 1143
user domain\\user password Password is root
no rewrite
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

~/procmailrc:

:0
* ^Subject.*ack
| expand | sed -e 's/[ ]*$//g' | sed -e 's/^/ /' > /usr/local/nagios/libexec/mail_acknowledgement

~/.forward:

| "/usr/bin/procmail"

And here is the output when I run fetchmail -f /root/.fetchmailrc -vv:
