Hi,<br>
I have had some problem with duplicate emails using dovecot1.0alpha5
using the prebuilt testing binaries on a debian stable/testing 3.1
system. I am running both pop3d and imap, but all users are just using
pop3d. I am using mbox format.<br>
Users are using Thunderbird 1.5 to access emails. Dotlocks are used,
postfix is the email agent. Note that dovecot/[postfix are running in a
vserver.<br>
<br>
In debugging the dovecot log, it seems to me that dovecot thinks that
it is deleting the messages, but actually nothing is happening. <br>
<br>
here is a log of a user logging in and what happens after logging out:<br>
<br>
dovecot: 2006-01-20 21:41:04 Info: pop3-login: Login:
user=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:user2@example.org"><user2@example.org></a>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.8.0.6,
lip=192.168.99.5, TLS<br>
<br>
dovecot: 2006-01-20 21:41:04 Error: pop3(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:user2@example.org">user2@example.org</a>): mbox sync:
Expunged message reappeared in mailbox /home/vmail/user2@example.org
(UID 5668 < 5691, seq=2, idx_msgs=0)<br>
<br>
dovecot: 2006-01-20 21:45:33 Info: pop3(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:user2@example.org">user2@example.org</a>): Logout.
top=0/0, retr=20/ del=20/20, size=29362389<br>
<b><br>
a quick check show that mbox size has not been changed -- none of the
20/20 files have been deleted, even though dovecot states del=20/20 !<br>
</b><br>
Mboxes grow quite large, sometime the problem resolves itself.
Interestingly, if I stop dovecot and restart it, on the next <br>
access to pop3 all of the messages are deleted correctly and the mbox
returns to the default size.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
