I'm seeing two bogus messages appearing my Maildir/cur directory.
They're dovecot.index.log and dovecot-uidlist.
-rw------- 1 gsexton users 51 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot-uidlist:2,S
-rw------- 1 gsexton users 244 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot.index.log
These files are only appearing in the Maildir/cur directory, and not in
any other directory that mail is delivered to (e.g. mail list directories).
I'm using the current version of Mozilla Thunderbird as my mail client.
Mail is delivered to Maildir/ by procmail.
I was originally using Courier, but changed to dovecot. I did run the
conversion program on all the mail boxes.
Other than these
If anyone could help me understand what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate
it. I've researched the mail list and read the wiki articles, but I'm
just not seeing anything that looks helpful.
Here's my config info:
# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
