Hi,
When I use pop3 to log on to a (Maildir) mailbox that doesn't yet exist in
the
filesystem, the pop3 server autocreates it for me. This works.
Jun 21 10:50:45 mail-04 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<hwx7s at
gqh7x.test>,
method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.42.105, lip=::ffff:192.168.42.97
Jun 21 10:50:48 mail-04 dovecot: POP3(hwx7s at gqh7x.test): Disconnected: Logged
out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0
When I log on a second time, it will complain about UIDVALIDITY that has
changed, and will disconnect me:

gqh7x.test>,
method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.42.105, lip=::ffff:192.168.42.97
Jun 21 10:50:52 mail-04 dovecot: POP3(hwx7s at gqh7x.test):

Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

When I log on a third time, everything seems to work from the client side, but
the server still complains:
Jun 21 10:51:01 mail-04 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<hwx7s at
gqh7x.test>,
method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.42.105, lip=::ffff:192.168.42.97

Fourth (and further) logons work without errors.
When the Maildir is created by imap or deliver, pop3 works fine from the
start.
The only real difference I see with idxview between the dovecot.index created
by pop3 and one created by imap is that with pop3 sync stamp is 0, and with
imap it contains a timestamp.
Onno
