It is almost inverse. 1.2.1 fixes some bugs in 1.2, among others some cases of possible mbox folder corruption when the filesystem for temporary files runs out of space. Unfortunately 1.2.1 was never announced, or the announcement disappeared. 1.2.1 had some build problems which were fixed by 1.2.2 which came shortly after 1.2.1. But there is *no* reason to upgrade from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 for anyone who has 1.2.1 and can build it. > 1.2.3 will have a fix to the above fix, since it didn't work...

Not all known cases of folder corruction was fixed by 1.2.1, and also other errors is reported against 1.2.1/1.2.2, therefore it is natural to expect 1.2.3 in the near future. -- Byrial http://home.worldonline.dk/~byrial/
