We found that there are historically corrupted mails in the tmp/ directory, For example, Maildir/tmp/ or Maildir/.Drafts/tmp/ exists. We suspect that it may be caused by network transmission, or the user interrupted the network link. Can the dovecot team possibly fix this problem? dovecot --version 2.2.36
Hi!
Not sure what the problem to fix would be though. It should be safe to just rm those files. When dovecot is moving/storing mails with maildir, it will first write them under tmp/ *and* if the operation is succesful, then they are linked to destination and unlinked from tmp/.

Can tmp/ directory mail be stored for a long time? Can dovecot handle tmp/ historical mail by itself?
