handling is probably still a bit buggy.The mbox files are standard Unix text, so LF only, right? We haven't turned on the CRLF options in dovecot.conf, that's for sure.
Well, surprise, surprise. The file does have CR-LF line endings, and stripping out the CRs seems to make the problem go away.
I've been thinking about this a little more since yesterday. Is there a reason why Dovecot shouldn't simply convert CR-LF line endings to LF on the fly, or at least have a configuration option you can turn on that will do this? This seems preferrable to blowing up with the error cited above...
Maybe I am misunderstanding this thread, but aren't CRLF specifically mentioned in RFC822 and other RFCs?
