I've just installed dovecot and am trying to use it to access my Maildir folders. Unfortunately: 1 SELECT INBOX 1 NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Deleting ~/Maildir/dovecot* doesn't seem to help. I can't find any documentation relating to the transaction log, or an explanation of why a fresh install of dovecot might choose to create a corrupt one. thanks, Paul
Happy New Year. Does anyone have any ideas on the problem below? It seems a fairly serious bug that Dovecot can't open a Maildir without corrupting its own transaction log.

Timo, I've lost your response to this mail, but you got it in one. Re-compiling with a different gcc fixed the problem. The offending version was gcc 3.1. gcc-3.4.0 works fine. Thanks for the pointer. Paul On Fri, Dec 22, 2006 at 06:12:04PM +0000, Paul Warren wrote:> I've just installed dovecot and am trying to use it to access my Maildir > folders.
