folders in public namespace only visable to 2nd folder level in 2.2.29.1

[Rupert Gallagher]

> view is now inconsistent

Same problem here. I posted it months ago in this list, and still waiting for comments or solution. The many upgrades did not help either. Given the lack of response from the list, this is either an ages-old problem that everybody has and has learned to ignore, or a configuration problem that one ought to solve by simply following the manual. No, the manual did not help.

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
