Thank you and Norberto for your replies.
np :)

Your explanations make sense for most cases but I don't think it applies to mine. This is a small home system and the only mail users are myself and my wife. Thus I had the luxury of stopping courier-imap and trying tar again. Same errors.

- are the "missing" files the same every time you run the script / tar ?
- what does
ls -la ./<user>/Maildir/.Trash/cur/

show?

- could it be the fact that those file names contain : ? i dont think so, but it's worth giving it a try. If it is, u may want to check if it's a tar problem or a shell problem, in which case u may be able to change the default list delimiter to see if it makes any difference (i dont see why it $IFS would affect this..but )

let us know how it goes,
Beto
