Timo,
Thank you, the patch solved the problem of core dumps and asserts. There have been none in the last eight hours since I applied the patch. The syslog output has much fewer complaints. There are occasional mail.error syslog warnings like:
IMAP(user): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /var/mail/user
and one occurance of:
IMAP(user): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/user (195 > 34, seq=2, idx_msgs=31)
Anything to worry about?
They aren't exactly good, but shouldn't really happen either. The first one is completely transparent to users, the second one probably send some error to client.
If you can figure out a way to reproduce any of these, I'd like to know. I haven't seen them myself for a long time.
Although if locking is set wrong, these can happen. Can your users access the mboxes directly or using some other software than Dovecot?
