Hi, today I have built dovecot from cvs sources, and upgraded server from beta-7 to this newer version. Then i got problems with opening INBOX using thunderbird 1.5.0.2. The client says "Opening folder...", then, after about half a minute, blinking "connecting to the server" and returning to "Opening folder..." /var/log/maillog gets the messages:
Jun 22 17:19:07 parkheights dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<seriv>, method=plain, rip=66.80.117.2, lip=192.168.10.14, TLS Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: IMAP(seriv): file index-search.c: line 845 (search_get_seqset): assertion failed: (ctx->seq1 <= ctx->seq2) Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: child 25812 (imap) killed with signal 6
and this lines repeat and repeat.
[cut] I guess this problem was generated by one of this patches: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005915.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005917.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005918.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005919.html
So, with dovecot-20060620.tar.gz or dovecot-20060621.tar.gz you will have this problem. Try dovecot-20060619.tar.gz. It works great for me.
Hi Dumitru, Thank you very much, I finally did as you suggested. I tried to set to servers, one beta7 which can deal with these mails, and close to it - another, from sources pulled from CVS 06/22/2006, and in thunderbird just copy messages from old server's maildir to new one. New servers can't do it, - the same problem appears at some problem message copying. I think there should be some script or utility to convert mail and fix such problems in maildirs. Without it I can't upgrade because of problems in my mailbox. I think these problems may be result of copying messages to maildir's "cur" folder directly, with cp or rsync, without dovecot's interface, from other IMAP servers.
Sergey.
