Hi,

today I've finished migration from uw-imap daemons to shiny and 

fast dovecot. With thanks of dovecot my mail server load average drops by factor of ten even with ancient unix mailboxes. ;-)

Get 0.99.10.5, it fixes possible mbox corruption.

So, the only thing I've discovered is what POP3 uidls are 

different than ones used in the uw-imap. Luckily, the difference are only in the format string used in uidl response. So, I've made the following change in the code

Actually I just wrote a similiar patch a few days ago .. :) http://dovecot.org/patches/pop3-uidl-uwimap.patch it's against .10.5 which changed a bit.

Probably this small change could be applied to the 1.0, or used as 

a config option.

I was thinking about making this fully configurable, ie. a config option which would accept printf-like string. "%v.%u" "%08xv%08xu" or something. Or maybe it's not worth it, I'd have to look at other POP3 servers to see what different kinds of UIDs they use..
