hi
i was carrying out some testing using qmailtoaster with dovecot on a centos 64
server
i am connecting to the mailbox using a windows machine with outlook across the
lan.
the mailbox is around 7gb in size with around 12000 emails spread across
multiple folders and i am trying to sync the mailbox folders to by creating an
account imap account in outlook.
the mails are getting downloaded in the imap folder but the sync does not
complete and outlook throws an error.
Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for user at mydomain.com.'
reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders
for user at mydomain.com.. Error: The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly
terminated by the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your
server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
in the dovecot log i see the following.

That's why Dovecot probes for various "signs", mdbox is the first and so on. Eventually it probes for Maildir and uses the user's mail dir as a Maildir storage. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEUAwUBVSvEmnz1H7kL/d9rAQJU/wf1EoaHomOrWmSkE+llzdSLnlRgXZAXbHYD DAQCGuHRNNH7Er1x1lPQQponxz2ora/ONu1+fpbNocWcTYcFIf/iJwBSfzgAAVB/ 4lSwB/mCFRZ62vhT/eOEChSmkfql8HvuSIJH7Q9+pwz5xrBCgFyqC4aiJv7rLAEm I53mfXeHdjIwddzydj5cyapcMbR8PwScwOi2TRnKIKWDBnR1WD28EhmRDhGmOdDY kKYDGwAZek9uqPVFnSpdv1o/Yle3MHpyQ/kp1kt5e/jQ7jVqjkonW9AgJb8BBVUu qEaqx4qMaa6V2iPhikoVsgKw4YlJuks6CaBwb1PGoZMGgr17YamL =xhme -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
