[Dovecot] FETCH for mailbox XXX UID XXX got too little data.

[Tan Shao Yi]

Hi Timo,

I am receiving the above error in dovecot's logs, here's how it looks 
like:

dovecot: Aug 05 19:52:19 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<XXXXXXXXXXXX>, 
method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
dovecot: Aug 05 19:53:36 Error: IMAP(XXXXXXXXXXXX): FETCH for mailbox Bulk Mails UID 32 
got too little data: 9199 vs 39532
dovecot: Aug 05 19:53:36 Info: IMAP(XXXXXXXXXXXX): Disconnected: Disconnected


When I attempted a telnet to the IMAP port, a fetch body[text] of the 
message begins with a partial portion of the Received headers:

  dsl-146-173-81.clt.bellsouth.net (72.146.173.81)
   by mx6.pacific.net.sg with SMTP; 1 Aug 2007 01:48:14 -0000

and I get abruptly disconnected:
Connection to localhost closed by foreign host.


May I know what could have gone wrong? To protect the user's privacy, I 
will be e-mailing you the actual bad e-mail in a separate e-mail.

Thanking in advance.

Cheers.
