Hello, I'm currently testing dovecot/imap (Version 0.99.13). I found this in the log: imap(xxxxx): [ID 265587 mail.crit] file imap-bodystructure.c: line 278 (part_parse_headers): assertion failed: (part->physical_pos >= input->v_offset - start_offset) dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 7376 (imap) killed with signal 6 The user tried to setup a new folder (with Thunderbird) and that seemed to cause this error. What does that mean ? Should I worry about ?

It rather should fail with an error message there and recreate the index file, but that code is missing..> Should I worry about ?Not really unless it happens constantly. Deleting index file usually helps with that. If you can reproduce it easily with some mail I could then fix it. Hopefully this problem is anyway fixed in 1.0-tests. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
