Message attachments, relocated with Tbird in Dovecot maildir store, not openable; reversible by moving BACK to inbox?
I run dovecot --version 2.3.17.1 (476cd46418) on lsb_release -rd Description: Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) Release: 35 mail store is maildir mail_location = maildir:/data/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:CONTROL=/data/vmail/%d/%n/_control:INDEX=/var/vmail-index/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs:UTF-8 front-end client is thunderbird --version Thunderbird 91.7.0 also on lsb_release -rd Description: Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) Release: 35 mail is delivered to the store via lmtp transport from a Postfix agent mail, with attachments (e.g., .PDF) is received OK it's readable, attachments can be opened and/or saved to disk\ if, in TBird client, i move the message to any other folder in the IMAP hierarchy, the message relocates, as expected. the message itself is still readable, and _appears_ to have the attachment. but, attempting to OPEN the *attachment*, with e.g. Okular, from within the relocated message pops up a dialog, "Could not open file:///tmp/pid-28435/manual_13542AE.pdf" and saving it to Desktop, ls -al manual_13542AE.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 pgnd pgnd 27 Apr 1 06:01 manual_13542AE.pdf file manual_13542AE.pdf manual_13542AE.pdf: data then opening it similarly returns "Could not open file:///home/pgnd/Desktop/manual_13542AE.pdf." Moving the message, via TBird, **BACK** to the Inbox, cures the problem -- -- I can immediately, again, open & save the attachments. This 'feels' like cache management misconfiguration to me. Not sure whether in Tbird &/or Dovecot, or what to look for specificially. Hints as to cause/fix of this attachment issue? Or event what/where, specifically, to log?

Burt using "repair folder" in TB, I get it back, so for me it looks more like a TB cache problem.

That 27 byte file size is familiar. -- Virgo P?rna virgo.parna at mail.ee
