As long as Dovecot detects the corruption, the errors are transparent
to users since Dovecot fixes them automatically.
What should I look for to find out why they happen?
Other details: File system is HFS+ Mail store is maildir Hardware is Intel (Mac Pro)
Post your dovecot -n output? Can you reproduce these easily with my
imaptest tool? http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest
One problem with HFS+ is that hard links are more or less buggy. But
v1.1's default settings should include dotlock_use_excl=yes. You maybe
should set maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no, but that shouldn't cause
this bug.
