I am using a single server, mbox, local disks (/home and /var is XFS on HP SmartArray).
Hmmm... could be an mbox specific issue (I seem to recall issues in the past that ended up being mbox related,
I think it might probably be the same issue that had already been described one year ago for 2.2.0: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/71636 (Although in my case, the "Cached message size smaller than expected" difference is always 1 byte.)
and I think Timo doesn't give mbox as much attention as maildir and dbox).
Too bad. Unfortunately it's not easy to switch for me. :-( Is mbox really such an uncommon scenario with dovecot? AFAIK it's the default config shipped with most linux distros..
Also, possibly a kernel issue - you are on a very old one (I know the argument, but I disagree with and have never 'gotten' it). 2.6.32 is 6.5 years old.
Hmm - I think that's very unlikely a kernel issue. It's a Redhat EL 6 kernel so that kernel is actively maintained and very widely used.
Also, did you change default_vsz_limit for a good reason
Yes. I suppose. ;-) However, I don't remember that reason now. :-) Maybe I read some recommendation about that? Maybe about large mailboxes?
