Happy New Year.
Does anyone have any ideas on the problem below? It seems a fairly serious bug that Dovecot can't open a Maildir without corrupting its own transaction log.

Any clues? Deleting ~/Maildir/dovecot* doesn't seem to help. I can't find any documentation relating to the transaction log, or an explanation of why a fresh install of dovecot might choose to create a corrupt one.
thanks,
