Hello altogether, I've got Dovecot 0.99 installed on a Suse Linux 9.2 system, together with Postfix. I need to upgrade that server in the near future to new hardware and new versions, but at the moment it would be great, if I could find the solution for the following problem without upgrading. Unfortunately I didn't find a solution in Google. The system has enough memory and disc space, it was running for about 4 or 5 years without problems now. Trying to access my messages on the server via IMAP protocol using Outlook (2000 or 2002 or 2003) leads to an error message "Invalid messageset: xxxxxxxx" (where xxxxxxxx is a changing number). No data is displayed, the headers are not updated. Squirrelmail says, that the messages are not available any more. And Thunderbird joins in with Outlook and also tells me something about an invalid messageset. For some reasons (and some messages, not all) Kontact / Kmail does not give me error message, however, my main system is not a Linux one and therefore I'd like to get that fixed, if possible. Somewhere in Google I found a note about IMAP index files, which may be corrupt and need to be rebuilt, but I didn't find any Index files, I must admit. Any idea how to solve that? Thanks in advance and best regards, Frank

Now what that would happen with upgrading, I've no idea, unless it was just a "happy" conincidence. What version were you upgrading to, and is it with mbox or maildir? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

With the thought in mind, that I have to move to a new server in the near future anyway, I wanted to avoid the upgrade. The current Dovecot version (still installed) is 0.99. I use the mbox format. Thanks, Frank
