I have been losing my inbox. It happened twice. (2 days ago and just half an hour ago)
I am using RHEL 4.0 with dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4
First of all I'd suggest not using 0.99 Dovecot. The mbox handling code has been rewritten in 1.0rcs completely.
Has anybody experienced this? Any suggestions to recover inbox? File was reset to 0 bytes (could be deleted as well), when i did 'stat' on file, there was a file with 1 new message, all were lost.
However even 0.99 shouldn't delete the mailbox or truncate the mbox to 0 bytes in any case, unless the client explicitly tells it to expunge all mails from it..
