Hi Timo and all others!The current Dovecot 2.0.rc4 did really well with Mutt 1.5.20 and Thunderbird 3.1.2, but a user with Alpine 2.00 crashed it immediately.
I'm running Fedora 13 (Linux) and compiled Dovecot 2.0.rc4 manually like I did before with Dovecot 1.2.13. When switching from 1.2 to 2.0 I removed all those ".imap" folders with internal cache data (didn't know for sure if it's compatible between both version). All folders are in mbox format.
When Alpine is started, the first crash happens. Alpine notifies the user that there was a problem connecting the IMAP server. No mail is display. And then the second crash happens. Looks like Alpine starts a second try to connect to the IMAP server before displaying the (empty) screen with (no) folders.

Is this information enough to track down the problem or do you want me to run additional tests? Just let me know what you need.
