2 or 3 customers have reported that they are having problems downloading their mail via. POP3. I have attached the rawlogs of their transactions and the UID list at the time. Is this because I am using an incompatible UID format or is something else at fault?
Deleting the UID list and indexes fixes the problem. I am using Test72.Sounds a bit like the Thunderbird problem.. ..
Sounds like it, but that client was Outlook 2003, and I have had a client using entourage with the same problem last week, it isn't a very common problem.
Outlook 2003 (and I suppose Entourage too) doesn't handle Dovecot's default POP3 UIDLs well. You should probably change them if you can. That may have caused this bug as well.

I was thinking of doing that and I'm sure there is a very good reason why I didn't. Sod the users if they want to store mail they should use IMAP, change of UID time I think. Quick question though, will a UID format change break anything considering there are 6000 mailboxes in use (apart from mail storing users)?
