I've no idea why you get directories there in the first place though. How often does the directory pop up there? I'd guess some kind of a misconfiguration.
I got this kind of problem on at least 5 different servers: Fedora (before) and CentOS (now). With 1.0 the problem was occurring about 1 time a month, with next releases it happened very rarely (say, once every 4 months).
What OS and filesystem are you using?
CentOS, file system ext3. Dovecot compiled with
./configure --with-shadow --with-pam --with-ssl=openssl --with-pop3d
- --disable-ipv6 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-mysql
(but happened also in a configuration without '--with-mysql')
What OS and filesystem are you using? Is it possible to create directories with empty names there? It really sounds like Dovecot sees an empty directory in new/ and then renames it to :2, in cur/. But what creates it into new/ in the first place
The MTA is Postfix, latest version. I don't know if it is possible to create directory with empty names on ext3
I've no idea.
Neither have I. :) I never told about this issue because I never had enough data to describe it. Mybe this happened to someone else?
Ciao, luigi

We're talking about an OS with commands like chown, awk, and grep here and where "zombie children floating in the pipe" is a legitimate description of an error state. --Bruce Bethke, "Headcrash" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
