This just happened to me again. Here's the where it first started
showing up in the log:

Sep 16 14:27:21 caddy dovecot: imap(jberry): Lost transaction log
file /Users/jberry/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 1
Once it gets in this state, the only way to recover from the failure
seems to be to delete the log files. The problem does not heal itself.

Sep 14 10:48:35 caddy dovecot: imap(jberry): Lost transaction log
file /Users/jberry/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 1I should point out that this is a server with a single imap user
(myself) and that I know only one imap client was trying to access
the server at that point in time (though the client sw Mail.app may
have had multiple connections to the server).Any suggestions/ideas/thoughts on whether something might have
changed in alpha2 to start causing this?James.
