Hi,
I went into,
/home/thing/mail/.imap/INBOX
and mv'd the contents to safe/
I then re-connected and I can now re-connect....Dovecot re-created the following files,
-rw------- 1 thing thing 7976 2008-04-06 12:39 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 thing thing 18432 2008-04-06 12:40 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 thing thing 10100 2008-04-06 12:40 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-04-06 12:37 safe
Looking at safe/
hermes:/home/thing/mail/.imap/INBOX# ls -l safe/ total 376 -rw------- 1 thing thing 7976 2008-04-06 09:25 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 thing thing 136192 2008-04-06 09:55 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 thing thing 88096 2008-04-06 09:55 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 thing thing 131132 2008-03-30 19:21 dovecot.index.log.2 hermes:/home/thing/mail/.imap/INBOX#
So maybe dovecot.index.cache became corrupt?
regards
Steven

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply!
Looks like Debian Dovecot itself is actually OK. To determine this firstly I created a new user and find I can connect to the new user's inbox using squrrelmail OK, but some old users dont work....
I next connected to another user's account and that works fine...
so I assume its a "format" issue of the mail structure for that one user...The Q is how to re-instate/repair the existing mail box for the old user(s)....is there a script I an run to repair? or update the format?
As below, test is the new user and is OK, phoebe is an old user and is OK, user thing is broken....
