Hi,
I recently upgraded dovecot on an OpenBSD server from the 0.99.x series to the 1.0-test series to eliminate a problem. That was fixed, however I am now experiencing issues with IMAP(S) connections. The main IMAPS use to the server is via Squirrelmail (many users login with it), however I typically use Thunderbird. The user mailboxes are stored in Maildir format.
Basically, moving, deleting or copying mails tends not to work. I have managed to move mails in Thunderbird if the source mailbox is small, and deleting mails usually works in Thunderbird. However, in Squirrelmail deleting or moving results in:
"ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: COPY 5629 "<dest-mailbox>"
/var/log/maillog reports: May 24 23:19:03 orca dovecot: IMAP(jmcaree): pool_system_malloc(): Out of memory
The Out of memory error appears when moving mails with Thunderbird, also.
I had originally upgraded to dovecot1.0-test66 via a patch supplied by an OpenBSD porter. Today I decided to compile -test70 to see if it was any better. Unfortunately, this issue still exists. I tried upgrading Squirrelmail to the latest (1.4.4 from 1.4.3a), but no luck there. Since it's happening with both it and Thunderbird, though, I don't see it being a client issue.
Server is: # uname -a OpenBSD my.hostname.com 3.7 GENERIC.RAID#0 amd64
I'd appreciate any assistance or advice on this issue! Obviously, I'd prefer to not have to downgrade to the 0.99.x series. :-) I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me with any replies.
TIA,
John.
