You probably won't need either of these. And there's no point in
setting them to the same value.
Can you reproduce these easily with my imaptest tool? http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest
Some of them. When running imaptest I see these dovecot errors: Corrupted index cache file %s: record continues outside its
allocated size Corrupted index cache file %s: record points outside file Corrupted index cache file %s: used_file_size too large
How soon? With what kind of imaptest parameters? I can't reproduce
this on my Macbook (OS X 10.5.4, HFS+).
Plus I see LOTS of errors from imaptest itself: Error: UIVALIDITY changed: %d -> %d
Did you test with a single user or multiple users? imaptest's support
for testing multiple users is currently a bit broken, but this
shouldn't happen with a single user..
Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header CC changed Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header DELIVERED-TO changed Error: user%d[%d]: <...>: Header FROM changed
These shouldn't be happening as long as you use a test mbox file that
has unique Message-ID headers. Were you using the recommended dovecot-
crlf as the input?
You say that the dovecot errors are harmless because dovecot fixes
them, but still there must be some downside, if only a performance
hit. Any other info I can provide to help you figure this out?
Yes, there's a performance hit since all the cached data is lost.
