Hi All, Our webmail having an issue with the harddrive so I build new webmail on other machine (using Squirrelmail+dovecot+postfix).

I've checked the log and found the message as below. mailserver dovecot: IMAP(xxxxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox

Hi Timo, Awhile back I'd written about making changes to some of the log levels that dovecot writes to to stop the process from writing these to monitor. I wanted to run a few changes by you for this, just to make sure these won't cause problems somewhere else. And to send this to the list, in case anyone else wants to make similar changes in the future. In the file

Hi! I installed Dovecot from the FreeBSD port. I have about 20 users on this machine and used popper before switching. I get a lot of error messages like: dovecot: Mar 21 10:03:41 Error: pop3(xxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/xxx (37326 > 35874, seq=1, idx_msgs=26) dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:17 Error: imap(yyy): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox

Hi, We are still getting, on a daily basis, users who cannot move messages to Trash or expunge Trash due to these errors: Mar 28 10:43:57 tm2 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(kss021): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/kss021/Mail/Trash (3137 > 536, seq=2, idx_msgs=76) Our users have no other access to their mailbox other than Dovecot, and we are using mbox

Hi, I think the problem is in Dovecot. I'm using both Evolution and Thunderbird on a Gentoo box. One of my folders keeps locking up and the clients can't retrieve the messages. The situation appears to be triggered by trying to move a message into that folder. Deleting the index files (under /var/log/dovecot/xxx/) solves the problem (temporarily). I get these error messages in the

Hi list! I have a problem with transfering mails from mbox to maildir format.

I upgraded one server to 1.0rc19 (from rc15) over the weekend, and have since received several reports of dovecot erroneously retrieving older messages as new mail. I've seen this myself intermittently on KMail, and users have reported it on Thunderbird, Squirrelmail, and Outlook. I see some things in the archives that suggest that this was a problem in older 1.0 release candidates, but
