It's apparent I have some level of corruption in my mailboxes - something to do with the combination of mdbox, sis, and zlib. I should note that I know I have a mix of compressed and raw messages - if that makes any difference in identifying the problems.
The mixing shouldn't make any difference. Would be nice to know if the problem is from mdbox+sis, mdbox+zlib or if it really needs a combination of all 3.
I wonder if http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/b71834419ea3 might help here.
I think I need to somehow regenerate the mailboxes with issues. Is there a suggestion for how to accomplish this? Should I perhaps use dsync to shift to a temporary mail location and then rename it back?
That should do it.
If I DO use dsync in this manner, and I have zlib enabled - will this then compress all the messages in the new mail storage?
When dsync reads messages it decompresses them into memory, and recompresses them when saving.
