Response 60 caused by storage configuration mismatch — @gemalaya The cipres python misfin client (commit 069ff967) returns response code 60 for incoming messages when it is unable to create an MH directory due to the existence of an indentically named gembox file. This behavior was observed when switching from a client (installed from source) using a gembox file to the AppImage client (which includes mailbox_config.toml with storage.type = mh).
