Under Dovecot 1.0-rc27 on Solaris 10 we noticed this error today affecting one of our users repeatedly: Mar 28 14:02:01 myhost dovecot: IMAP(myuser): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 423 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 28 14:02:01 myhost dovecot: IMAP(myuser): Raw backtrace: 0x7ac54 -> 0x42cd4 -> 0x3e968 -> 0x3f54c -> 0x3f980

Drops IMAP connection when a particular user's "Sent" folder is opened. Does this mean that the sent folder is potentially corrupted?

I updated to the latest rc25 and started getting these messages(over and over again). This is on a Solaris 10 box and I tried compiling with gcc and sun c. I backed down to rc23 and the messages went away and everything works. Any body have an idea on what could be wrong? thank you dovecot: Mar 04 21:14:33 Error: child 467 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: Mar 04 21:14:33 Error:

I'm very sorry if this is a faq. I've spent considerable time reading documentation and doing Google searches to no avail...and the mailing list archive isn't searchable as far as I can tell. Anyway, the question: When I try to open a large mbox file from Squirrel Mail I receive the following Dovecot error: Jun 23 10:47:55 jetta dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(kevin): file

Timo, I see where at least one other person reported this, but here goes. I went from rc24 to rc25 this morning, and I got an assert and core from my own mailbox withing five minutes: Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 408: assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833

Hi, I recently switched to using dovecot for my IMAP server. I'm running dovecot 1.0rc10 on redhat linux 7.3. The filesystem is ext2, not NFS. I'm using mbox for mail storage. It worked okay for a day or two, but now when I try to check my mail I get an error from evolution, my imap client, saying that the server unexpectedly disconnected. In the server logs I see: Nov 2 13:10:49

Just installed the version from CVS as of Oct. 27. I noticed three problems quite quickly: Still seeing "(imap) killed with signal 14" My INBOX closed with "access error" after reading it for a bit. There's nothing in the logs or anything, but this hasn't happened for quite a while now. There where quite a lot of incoming messages at the time and I was marking

I just installed a limited test of RC10 last night. So far, all is great except for errors being logged for one user (out of about 150 users total). This one user has not yet complained or anything, but the log file has repeated entries of the following format for him (host and username changed to protect the guilty/innocent): Oct 24 06:13:02 mail dovecot: IMAP(username): file

Some days ago I wrote about an inaccessible mailbox after an upgrade from 0.99.14 to 1.0rc10.

Hello, I found this in the logs of a Dovecot v1.0-test29 test server (OpenBSD 2.9, as mentioned in a previous email): Jul 24 05:37:47 myhostname dovecot: IMAP(username): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/username/.mailbox (235 > 234) Jul 24 05:37:52 myhostname dovecot: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 357 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed:

Hello, dovecot-1.0-test32 continuously fails on one of our customers mboxes with the following error: Sep 11 16:27:15 web dovecot: POP3(xxxxxxxxxxxxx.de1): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 360 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed: (need_space == -mails[idx].space) About 200 other mboxes are working perfectly on the same server. Where should I start looking for the cause of this?

(Background: Relatively new to dovecot; looking to do transparent replacement of long-established UW-IMAP on cluster of Linux boxes which NFS-mount a shared "/var/spool/mail".) With rc8, where I had already increased "login_max_processes_count" from default 128 to 1024, we had still hit the issue of too many logins crashing dovecot, so that trial had only lasted a couple of

Hi, I am seeing the following (with Dovecot 1.0 rc10): Oct 18 07:35:58 dovecot: IMAP(user): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /var/mail/user Oct 18 07:35:58 dovecot: IMAP(user): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/user (15314 > 9604, seq=5, idx_msgs=224) Oct 18 07:35:59 dovecot: IMAP(user): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 405 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion

I'm running Dovecot dovecot-1.0.r13 on FreeBSD (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE- p10). Mail is stored in mbox format (dovecot.conf after the msg). Procmail delivers mail to subfolders under ~/.mail, locking using dotfiles. One folder in particular for one user has an mbox file ~/.mail/Cron. Quite often, I'll see that procmail processes are stacking up because ~/.mail/Cron.lock exists, and
