Hi to all,
Today i have manually copied at least 250 mail from a mailbox to another and i have encountered some problems with dovecot. When finished to download all the messages, via pop3, at the next check mail dovecot give me that error:
dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(michele@domain.net): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800
Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, to the client an error was given but no mail downloaded.
I have resolved that deleting all the dovecot files into the mailbox, so:
dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log
Then, all restarted to works normally, but...the most bad thing is... the lost mails!
I use OpenSuSE 11 with dovecot11-1.1.3-5.1 with postfix and virtual users on mysql.
Here is my dovecot -n:
