[Dovecot] Possible Bug segnalation

[Claudio Prono]

Hi to all,

Today i have manually copied at least 250 mail from a mailbox to another
and i have encountered some problems with dovecot. When finished to
download all the messages, via pop3, at the next check mail dovecot give
me that error:

dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(michele at domain.net): Mailbox init
failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800

Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, to the client an
error was given but no mail downloaded.

I have resolved that deleting all the dovecot files into the mailbox, so:

dovecot-uidlist
dovecot.index
dovecot.index.cache
dovecot.index.log

Then, all restarted to works normally, but...the most bad thing is...
the lost mails!

I use OpenSuSE 11 with dovecot11-1.1.3-5.1 with postfix and virtual
users on mysql.

Here is my dovecot -n:
