Looks like 1.0.rc15 doesn't yet have --log-error, so you'd have to
fallback to using grep. Maybe grepping "imap" would show show
something..

mbox_min_index_size anyway was problematic until very latest 1.0 RCs
where I did a lot of fixes to handling switching between on-disk indexes
and in-memory indexes.
