I've searched the archives and find a lot of references to corrupted indexes but can't seem to find any solutions. It seems like folks either have the problem or they don't.
We recently migrated from a RedHat Linux server to an OpenBSD 3.7 server (both using dovecot). Imap was working flawlessly on the RedHat box but now gives numerous index errors. I then upgraded to dovecot-1.0-test66 compiled from ports - still no luck. Here's an example of the errors:
Jun 27 12:02:23 mail dovecot: IMAP(epate): Corrupted transaction log file /home/epate/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Keyword record UIDs are broken Jun 27 12:02:24 mail dovecot: IMAP(epate): Lost transaction log file /home/epate/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 7
I found references to "disabling indexing" but they don't say how. Would this be a reasonable temporary solution? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Emmett Pate
