Hi,
I just noticed that the ordering by message ID when accessing my
email via IMAP is messed up. I'm looking in the INBOX that contains
11757 emails. For some reason a load of emails from 2009 and 2010
are being listed near the top, for example I have a message with ID
11441 from 2009 where it definitely shouldn't be, its all mixed in
with emails from 2011 there. Info from LDAP is:
- 11441 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Seen) INTERNALDATE "27-Mar-2009
09:14:10 +0000" RFC822.SIZE 5772 ENVELOPE ("Fri, 27 Mar 2009
09:15:09 -0000" "MyC IP on CBL" (("Patrick XXXXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL
"patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick XXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL
"patrick" "XXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick xxxxxx - xxxxxxx" NIL
"patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Andy Smith" NIL "a.smith"

"XXXXXXXXXXX.co.uk")(NIL NIL "Tim.XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXX.org")) NIL NIL
"6937D025FA924E73B8C839858C27AEBF@PatrickDesktop"))I'm using maildir format, and the actual file date looks fine too:
-rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 5627 Mar 27 2009
1238145250.H86871P67126.mx1.ukgrid.net:2,RSI am testing IMAP via telnet (originally noticed the problem viewing
mail via HORDE/IMP). My system is FreeBSD 8.2, Dovecot 2.0.11. What might cause this behaviour?thanks Andy.
Ok, I just deleted the dovecot index files etc from the mailbox, when
it recreated them all is now looking normal...
ta Andy.
