[Dovecot] big troubel - damaged mailboxfolders

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

because the fedora project switcht from wu imap to dovecot, i followed 
this step. Today I'm very unhappy about this step, because there are 
more problems for me than advantages...

But today the biggest problem is, that a lot!!! of mailboxes are 
damaged. within three year no mailbox was damaged using wu imap.

The errormessage is:

imap(cstrang): File isn't in mbox format: /var/mail/cstrang

the server is fedora core 1, dovecot-0.99.11.

May be I have something misconfigured, but where to look at?

Any ideas, what causes the damage?

And installing the test-version isnt an alternativ for my production 
server vor 500 users.

Regards
