Oliver Welter:
after upgrading my mail server (dovecot 1.1.7 -> 2.2.13) I get tons of messages about corrupted index files in the syslog ("Error: Corrupted transaction log" and "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index".
Some more debugging - I did a "fuser" on a broken dovecot.index file and see a lot of stale file handles, looks like something is not cleaning up. Any ideas are still welcome....
if your using classic maildir format I would try to completly remove any dovecot index files.
my guess: the existing index files are /so old/ dovecot is unable to repair them in a propper way.
