[Dovecot] Solved problem with index corruption (new mail not seen)
Having had many problems in the past with IDLE not working, new messages not being seen from Thunderbird, and sometimes garbage seen as part of mailboxes, I eventually added some workaround/sanity check patch to the imap_sync_deinit code to reread the offsets from the index and that solved the problem. Now with beta7 (I've previously used beta2), this seems not to be necessary anymore. I installed vanilla beta7 and couldn't reproduce the problem in any way! I'm not sure what has changed there, and haven't yet checked if I see anything relevant, so this is just to let you know, and ask - any idea which change could have caused this. Happily I will soon be going on with working around other issues I have here, and start bugging you in the list again.
