dovecot - Feb 2006 - Message index corruption when using Thunderbird and Dovecot

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded from UW-IMAP to Dovecot 1.0.beta3 on Redhat9. I 
migrated my mailbox to from Mbox to Maildir using the mb2md perl script, 
and created a procmail recipe file to get email arriving in the Maildir 
directories. However, when accessing my mailbox from Thunderbird 
(version 1.5), it occasionally mixes up the email header with the email 
content. I also occasionally get errors like this when clicking on old 
messages (ones that got converted as part of the mb2md script).

The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Error in 
IMAP command UID:
Invalid BODY[..] parameter: Missing '>' in
'<16384.-15744>'

However, if I click on the email item again, Thunderbird is then able to 
retrieve the message correctly.

Can anyone provide some help with these problem.

Thanks in advance

Are you absolutely sure it's beta3 you're using? These kinds of problems
exist in 1.0-stable versions, but they were fixed a long time ago and I
haven't heard of them since.
