Hello,
I'm running dovecot 2.1.16 in a ubuntu 12.04 server, with lazy_expunge, SiS and mdbox format.
The problem I'm having is that the index for one the mailboxes of one of my users is growing too much. This is not the first time of this problem. In previous cases, is because a message is duplicated thousand of times (I haven't found any reason for this). In these cases, moving messages to other folder and moving again to this same folder fixes the problem. So I have tried this, and I have moved all messages from this folder to another one.
But this time, after this, indexes directory is still using a lot of space. And the folder seems to have more serious problems:
amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm search -u vlo mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Syncing mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS failed: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1)
I have tried to delete the folder, with the same result:amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm mailbox delete -u vlo BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Can't delete mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1)
And to purge user's mailbox, but it didn't fix the problem.PS: If this could help, BORRADOS. is the namespace used by lazy_expunge plugin.
