email client is fairemail version 1.2042a on android, but an older version had the same problem.
I mainly use fairemail to read emails on my phone, and that is working fine but I noticed that deleted emails were not actually getting deleted, that it has a bunch of "pending operations" it has were not running, and that dovecot has been crashing like this since about feb 2 (over a month ago). I can't figure out what changed at that time, but my cert says it should have expired over a year ago, but the cert as created 26 months ago.
log files only go back to Feb 5 so just missed that.
I generated a new cert but it's still crashing (I probably still need to do something on the client side or my setup is broken).
I assume there is something wrong or some "snapshot" thing that's stuck, but since it's crashing I can't figure out what the undelysing problem is.
Another thing I noticed:
I think I deleted all emails left in the "Trash" folder outside of imap on Feb 4 (using mutt locally) - or that that folder was modified on Feb 4, that is also the same timestamp as my ~/Mail/.imap directory, and is about the time I think it started crashing.
And that these were all dated Feb 4:
$ ls -ld ~/Mail/.imap ~/Mail/Trash ~/Mail/.imap/dovecot.list.index drwx------. 118 patman patman 4096 Feb 4 09:29 /home/patman/Mail/.imap -rw------- 1 patman patman 14696 Feb 4 09:11 /home/patman/Mail/.imap/dovecot.list.index -rw------- 1 patman patman 1459841 Feb 4 09:11 /home/patman/Mail/Trash
