Hi,
Are the other POP3 servers advertising PIPELINING capability? Maybe try if this happen with it removed from Dovecot? (src/pop3/capability.h, rebuild).
Nope. That wasnt it.
thanks for testing it, I didn't had the time to do it yet. Since we couldn't live with this error, we switched back to qmail-pop3d for the pop3 service, letting dovecot handle imap only. To check if the error disappeared in current releases, I downloaded the latest stable release 20050624. I compiled and installed it, but the error still remained. Downloading of about 1649 messages stopped after the 843rd message, again with the message "-ERR Message is deleted" (src/pop3/commands.c, line 50).
It is really important for us, that this bug is resolved. This shall not sound like a threat, but we are indead evaluating a migration to Courier IMAP (although I never liked it very much), but a stable pop3 service is essential for us. And we don't want to use qmail-pop3d, because it doesn't log anything.
To recap: I see this too. So far only with thunderbird. Do you Marten see it with other clients too ?
The bug is really strange since everything I can log/see about the conversion between dovecot and tbird suggests tbird has the bug. BUT when I run tbird with other pop3 server it works.
The error triggered is that tbird tries to download an already deleted message (infact it just deleted it). And if I restart tbird it will start download at the last deleted message (error again).
I think our only hope is Timo or possibly some tbird developer.
Cheers Jens
Ditto with various customers using test72. All seem to be using different mail clients. Can't really see a pattern at all, small and big Maildirs. Deleting the UID list and indexes seems to fix it. It happens for about 2 customers in 6000 a week.
