dovecot-shared file should exist in Maildir/ directory, while mails should exist in Maildir/new/ and Maildir/cur/ directory. I don't see how dovecot-shared could be moved to cur/ or new/ directory.. Or are your new/ or cur/ directories some weird symlinks?
Hi Timo
The file dovecot-shared does exist in the Maildir directory ~/Maildir/. I read that this file also has to exist in each folder under Maildir so I created them (as the folders where created outside of dovecot. I suspect that I have gone a little too far though. Here is the results of a "find" command
plans/Maildir/. 60503/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 60503/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 60503/new/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans. 4938/cur/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans. 4938/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans. 4938/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Lost Plans. 4938/new/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 7849/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 7849/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Junk/cur/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Junk/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Junk/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/.Junk/new/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 58532.2008/cur/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 58532.2008/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 10075/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 10075/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 4743/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 4743/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 19128/cur/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 19128/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 19128/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 19128/new/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 52474/cur/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 52474/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 52474/tmp/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 52474/new/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 4260/dovecot-shared plans/Maildir/. 4260/tmp/dovecot-shared
Should I remove the dovecot-shared files from all the cur and tmp and new?
