Is this a new installation of Dovecot? Or you just upgraded from 0.99?

I have this in my configuration:
protocol pop3 { pop3_enable_last = no pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls, oe-ns-eoh }
If I change the pop3_uidl_format I need to remove all the index file on my server ? I read on the doc that this change cann't be done on a production server ?
I have more than 10'000 accounts on this cluster so I can't have a big downtime.
Thanks

I have a big problem with our cluster, if i read my mail with POP3 client (and check the option, keep a copy on server), every time I read my mail, my client retrive ALL messages an the mailbox !!!
I test this with:
- Apple Mail 1.0 + 2.0
- M$ Outlook 2000 + 2003
- Thunderbird
We use:
- Dovecot RC1
- Postfix on Debian Sarge (stable)
Can you know this bug ? Or have a workaround ?
This function is really important for our customer as we offer a backup solution for her mails.
Thanks
It's probably just a configuration issue.
If you upgraded from dovecot 0.99 or maybe migrated from another IMAP/POP3 server you should set correctly the "pop3_uidl_format" parameter.
I upgraded from 0.99 to 1.0.rc2 and below is my "pop3_uidl_format":
# POP3 UIDL format to use. You can use following variables: # # %v - Mailbox UIDVALIDITY # %u - Mail UID # %m - MD5 sum of the mailbox headers in hex (mbox only) # %f - filename (maildir only) # # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu # Courier version 0 : %f # Courier version 1 : %u # Courier version 2 : %v-%u # Cyrus (<= 2.1.3) : %u # Cyrus (>= 2.1.4) : %v.%u # Older Dovecots : %v.%u # # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. # # NOTE: Nowadays this is required to be set explicitly, since the old # default was bad but it couldn't be changed without breaking existing # installations. %08Xu%08Xv will be the new default, so use it for new # installations. # #pop3_uidl_format = pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u
This works fine even with Outlook 2000/2003. Clients (Thunderbird, OE, Outlook 2000/2003) download just new mails.
