When something "bad" happens to the indexes, my e-mail client (Thunderbird) reports an "unable to succeed" error on opening a mailbox. Leaving that mailbox and coming back works fine. Is this expected behaviour?
It's expected, but it's not expected that anything bad happens to your indexes normally. What do the logs show as the reason?
I see a variety, but a sample:
Dec 31 11:09:26 bubba dovecot: IMAP(mgillespie@amfes.com): Corrupted transaction log file /var/mail/amfes.com/mgillespie/.Trash/dovecot.index.log: start_offset (20200) > file size (20184)
What filesystem is this with? Looks like NFS caching issues.
