Hi all,
This is probably a silly question, but I have a problem. I've had to move my users maildirs from:
maildir:/home/%u/.MaildirTo
maildir:/data/mail/%uI've updated the MTA to put mail to the correct place and it's working fine. I've also changed the dovecot.conf file and restarted dovecot and I thought that would be all I needed to do.
However, the users are getting lots of error messages, and looking in the relevant logs shows lots of entries like:
Sep 28 14:03:36 <hostname> imap(<user1>): stat() failed with file /home/<user1>/.Maildir/new: No such file or directory Sep 28 14:03:36 <hostname> imap(<user2>): utime() failed with index file /home/<user2>/.Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index: No such file or directory
(Sorry for changing usernames and hostname, but I'm neurotic about that kind of thing)
What have I missed? Or am I not supposed to move maildirs once they're in use?
Any help greatly appreciated,

Here's another error message I just started getting with test46:
Error: POP3(test2): file mbox-lock.c: line 493 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK ||ibox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK)
Could you get gdb backtrace from this? I know this happens when you try to copy a message into the same mbox, but why would anyone do that?
I haven't seen the combined X-Status/X-UID nor the other log corruption "Append with UID xxx, but next_uid = xxx" that I saw earlier.
That's good.
