Hi,

I just installed dovecot 1.1.11 and am having some issues. Mail appears to
be delivered to the Maildirs just fine, but when a client (Thunderbird)
 tries to retrieve them I get this:

dovecot: IMAP(info at aedisit.com): maildir_file_do(/var/mail/
> aedisit.com/info/cur/1251566335.V14I27a91M380600.kim): Filename keeps
> changing


After turning on mail debug mode, I get this:

Aug 29 13:41:48 kim dovecot: IMAP(vollmarj at aedisit.com): maildir:
> data=/var/mail/
> aedisit.com/vollmarj:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/aedisit.com/vollmarj

 Aug 29 13:41:48 kim dovecot: IMAP(vollmarj at aedisit.com): maildir++:
> root=/var/mail/aedisit.com/vollmarj, index=/var/dovecot/indexes/
> aedisit.com/vollmarj, control=, inbox=/var/mail/aedisit.com/vollmarj


Here is my dovecot -n output:
