Dovecot is crashing on a certain user inbox which is in mbox format as well as one of the users other mbox files. The crash doesn't exactly match what is listed in the aforementioned wiki page, so I thought
their might be some other insight into this process or how to fix it.Here is the error in the log files: Aug 8 09:26:07 localhost dovecot: IMAP(user): UIDVALIDITY changed (1216167307 -> 1218134720) in mbox file /var/mail/user
Why did it change? Does it change often? It should never change. The
MboxProblems wiki page shows the possible reasons for this.
Aug 8 09:26:07 localhost dovecot: Panic: IMAP(user): file index- sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid))
This is a bug caused by the UIDVALIDITY change. I think it happens
only once though and after the next login it works? Anyway I should
try to get this fixed.
