Hi All,
After upgrading dovecot for sid Thunderbird no longer displays the contents of any emails
What exactly does that mean? Does it list mailboxes? Does it list mailbox contents, but just not open the mail?
I believe so. I can see the headers but not the contents.
Also for newly arrived mails? Sounds like it either couldn't connect and is in offline mode, or it crashes when trying to open the mail.
In another email I can't find at the moment you suggested that I look at the logs. From there it didn't take long to figure out that something had changed with update of Dovecot that no longer allowed this configuration line to work:
mail_location: ~/Maildir
and both in dovecot.conf and log I was warned to add the prefix "maildir""
With this everything seems to be fixed.
I don't know whether this would be considered any kind of bug. The Debian package allowed me to upgrade Dovecot without warning me that the rules for mail_location had changed.
Thanks for your help and hints,
Paul
