Hi all,

I have just recognized that there seems to be something wrong with the 
per user seen flag indexes. In the dovecot log file I get a lot of those 
errors:

Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd 
/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
Error: 
/var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd/dovecot.index.pvt 
view is inconsistent

Error: /var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd.3rd 
/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
Error: 
/var/vmail/domain/someuser/Maildir/public/.test.2nd.3rd/dovecot.index.pvt 
view is inconsistent

....

Could this be the cause of the issue ? How can this be fixed ?

Thank you for your kind help

best regards
Andreas
