Hi
Let's list some files in user homedir:
-------
dog:/home/domain/users/username# ls
autoresponse dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidvalidity.4be1e480 saved
trash
config dovecot-uidlist new sent
cur dovecot-uidvalidity tmp
dog:/home/domain/users/username# ls cur
1273093948.30793.dog:2
dog:/home/domain/users/username# ls new
1273097763.13545.dog 1273118766.1674.dog
---------
As you can see one mail is in cur and two new mails are in new folder. Let's
fetch them via pop3:
---------
dog:/home/domain/users/username# nc -v localhost 110
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 110 (pop3) open
+OK Dovecot ready.
user username at domain.pl
+OK
pass secret
+OK Logged in.
stat
+OK 1 7824
quit
+OK Logging out.
dog:/home/domain/users/username#
--------
It said there is only one mail. Where are my new mails? Let's check log
file:
--------

gid=1002, home=/home/domain/./users/username

out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/1, size=7824
---------
No error logged looking at the good dir. Permissions OK. When I remove
dovecot.index.log new messages appears:
---------
dog:/home/domain/users/username# rm dovecot.index.log
dog:/home/domain/users/username# nc -v localhost 110
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 110 (pop3) open
+OK Dovecot ready.
user username at domain.pl
+OK
pass secret
+OK Logged in.
stat
+OK 3 76974
quit
+OK Logging out.
dog:/home/domain/users/username#

Any clue what can it be?
