Hrm... exactly when I pressed sent, dovecot started giving me more information:
master: Error: service(imap): child 22324 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service imap { vsz_limit=256 MB }, you may need to increase it))
Is that why the imap processes were running out of memory or is that just another symptom of the same problem? How come we never had that problem with the older version of dovecot 2.0 (sorry, i can't remember which one we were running...).

Hello,
I've upgraded our servers and now dovecot seems to be running out of memory when accessing my own mailbox (and only mine, which is in a way pretty fortunate):
dovecot: imap(abelard-a): Error: mmap() failed with file /vmail/a/b/abelard-a/dovecot.index.cache: Cannot allocate memory
imap(abelard-a): Fatal: pool_system_realloc(131072): Out of memory
/vmail/a/b/abelard-a/dovecot.index.cache is 224MB big and my mailbox is 72% full of 8GB.
any idea of what is happening?
