I'm not. I mean, that's sort of the point of imap, right? :-) :-)
Uh. I was thinking all the time that you're using pop3 since that's
what started this thread :)
Now, you're having duplicate mails with IMAP? There's really no good
reason for why that would happen, unless the mail is actually
delivered to the mailbox twice, or if the client did something weird,
such as copying the mail elsewhere (eg. Trash) and back..
The next time I notice it, I'll confirm (again) that it's actually
duplicated *on the server* and *in the mail spool file* (we use mbox).
It most likely is.
Dec 1 10:42:07 stove dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP (kamath): X- IMAPbase uid-last unexpectedly lost in mbox file /var/mail/kamath
But why did this happen? Is this 1.0.rc15? Is something else
modifying the mbox files also?Aside from sendmail and the LDA, no, nothing should be modifying
the mbox file.
Dovecot LDA?
If the problem isn't disconnection, then it could be that the UIDs changed, and that could be related to the above error.
Gack. rc7. I guess I haven't upgraded in a while. Frankly, rc7
has been working so well, and what with the recent spate of
activity, I've been waiting for things to settle down a bit -- but
I didn't think I was that far back.
rc9 had this fix:
- mbox: Fixed a bug causing "X-IMAPbase uid-last unexpectedly lost in mbox file" errors, and possibly others.
