Hi all, Is anybody have this problem with Centos 4.2, postfix-2.1.5-4.2.RHEL4, dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 In the log /var/log/maillog have: Feb 2 08:44:44 net02 pop3(user01): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/user01: LF not found where expected Feb 2 08:45:14 net02 pop3(user01): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/user01: LF not found where expected Feb 2 08:45:14 net02 pop3(user01): Error

Hi, I've got an 'interesting' problem with a dovecot 0.99.10.4 setup on NetBSD/i386 1.6ZK. dovecot is serving imap only at the moment, using mbox format mailboxes. '/etc/dovecot.conf' is pretty vanilla - among the modified settings, mail_read_mmaped = yes maildir_check_content_changes = yes mbox_lock = fcntl could be relevant. Anyway - from time to time when I move a

I've found that if an mbox file has two consecutive 'From' delimiters, I get the error: pop3(user): Error indexing mbox file /var/spool/mail/user: LF not found where expected UofW apparently ignores the second 'From' silently. I've been trying to run dovecot in gdb to get more details on exactly what is happening, but I haven't quite mastered the art of attaching to

I'm using Dovecot 0.99.13 on a fedora core 3 server. I keep getting these errors from time to time. There user ends up retrieving no mail (but no error in their client, be it web mail or pop3 client) What usually fixes it is this procedure: Cp mbox file to mbox_ Remove original mbox Send a test message to recreate mbox. Cat mbox_ >> mbox Problem solved! Can anybody tell me what causes

Hi, replying to my own issue: The dsync crash seems to be triggered when there are emails to copy in both directions, and it's fairly clear from comments in the code that it should be releasing a read lock before trying to grab a write lock. A work-around for the crash was doing a one-way sync manually. This allowed the process to complete and my setup is now replicating properly. I guess

After about three years of this, it seems I have finally gotten somewhere near to the bottom of this. The symptom: Suddenly a user cannot download their email. Checking again through SquirrelMail, I get an error which says a log was written. Going to the logs I see "imap(username): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/username: LF not found where expected" Using Webmin's read

I'm running dovecot 0.99.10-0.rc2 deb packages for Debian Woody from braincells.com. My old environment was a server running UW-IMAP for IMAP and POP services. We are still using mbox for all mailboxes. I use IMP for web based access. Forgive me if these issues have already been discussed or fixed in cvs. Any additional pointers to this info. would be appreciated. I have noticed a

Hi, This (hopefully!) might be a case of user error, as I'm new to dovecot... Alternatively it might be some confusion in an index, since I've been mucking about trying different things in my configuration files and had frequent crashes. I'm trying to sync 2 (LAN) hosts, ideally to have full automatic replication happening. They both have hybrid mbox INBOX and maildir++ folders,

Hello. Today one of my users has returned from vacation and his mailbox has grown to 67 Mbyte in 1705 e-mails. dovecot can't index this mailbox with this message (i've changed username with 'xxx'): pop3-login: Sep 06 10:03:43 Info: Login: xxx [172.16.4.9] pop3(xxx): Sep 06 10:03:43 Error: Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/xxx: LF not found where expected pop3(xxx): Sep 06

Hello, I use mbox compressed by gzip as read-only folder (using zlib plugin). This setup worked for a while, but doesn't work with latest dovecot version (2.2.27).

Hi, i am the new one;) - and my first post is about a problem i ran into. I installed a mailserver on a RaspberryPi. It works mostly well, using dovecot 2.1.7. (exim4 4.8 (not in use, smtp direct to Provider), fetchmail 6.3.21, RasPi 3.12.28+, Roundcube (no version known) - the whole system went through an apg-get update/uppgrade this night to look if a known problem already been fixed. When

Hi list, first of all, many thanks to the Dovecot authors for supplying an IMAP server that works well with M$-Outlook! I have used UW-imapd for quite a while and was annoyed by frequent "imap...timeout..." error messages. Now I'd like to give maildir format a try because I want to use email sub-folders. What are other Outlook users' experiences with maildir? Is it as

Dovecot 1.1.7 is running so smoothly that I gave up checking its log files daily. :) I've just had a look, and among the usual "IMAP(username): FETCH for mailbox Sent UID xx got too little data: xx vs xx" messages (that means that unfortunately sometimes some messages are still written truncated) I saw this assertion failure: file mbox-sync.c: line 1305

I've been doing some stress testing in the last few days and fixing all the errors I saw. I'm hoping that I've finally really fixed all the index/mbox problems. So, again I think the only thing left for v1.0 is the documentation. Please test this nightly snapshot before I'll release rc27 tomorrow: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz If you've seen any of the

System is freebsd, format is mbox. I'm also seeing periodic corruption of mailboxes. It's easily fixed because it's
