Are you certain?  For this to happen something would have to go wrong in the
POP3 conversation between the mail client and the proxy, but after spambayes
saved a copy of the message.  I would have thought that the mail client
would then give an error.  To simply not deliver a message seems unlikely.
If you set the "verbose" option to true, you get a log that includes the
POP3 conversation.  Attaching this to a bug report would (probably) be
helpful.

This is an odd message to be getting.  It seems to indicate that files are
being removed from your cache directories by something other than SpamBayes.
Is that possible?  SpamBayes really doesn't like any changes being made to
those cache directories by anyone else.

In any case, if the message isn't there in the cache, this would cause the
*opposite* problem - messages would appear in your mail client, but not on
the review page.

Do error messages appear *during the time that mail is arriving*?  If so,
these are problem different than the above and would be more useful.  In
fact, a complete listing of all the errors (attached to a bug report on
sourceforge) would be the best.
