dovecot - Aug 2013 - mailbox_list_index, stops showing new mails in mailboxes

Hello.

I'm having some weird problem with (probably) mailbox_list_index, 
that it doesn't see new mail in mailboxes.
I'm using 2.2.4 over imap and ssh/imap, and after a while dovecot
stops noticing new mail in some folders. Its always the same 2-3
folders of about 30.
I read something about list-index corruption in 2.2.2, and i thought
it was that i was running into earlier, but this problem still occurs.

This is dovecot 2.2.4, running on Solaris 10 x86_64 to homedirs on zfs,
where procmail is used to deliver mail to mailboxes in mbox-format.

I've tried to purge all indexes and let dovecot rebuild them, but the
problem reoccurs after a couple of days.


How can i help to debug this issue? Should i grab dovecot.list.index
when its out-of-sync for debugging?


//Anton

What's your procmail recipe for delivering messages?  If you're storing
it directly to a mbox file, dovecot will never get a chance to see it
and update the indices.

An example of invoking LDA to store messages

 	:0 Hw
 	* /^From:.*dummy@/
 	| dovecot-lda -d yourusername -m dummybox

 	# Dump mail into my INBOX using dovecot's LDA
 	:0 w
 	| dovecot-lda -d yourusername

This should help: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/2a209302d064
