Hello Timo!
A configuration issue as we had with the config discussed below can be definitly barred.
locate only finds somehting in /home/gerhard/Mail/.imap/ which is correct.
Config: ~/.imap 3 > ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 gerhard users 30 Jun 13 22:30 INBOX -> /home/gerhard/Mail/.imap/INBOX
# Users should have access to the whole home directory mail_location = mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
deliver section: # Mail folders should be in ~/Mail mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
How can I make a more consistent configuration with namespaces? To avoid the symlink we might include: INBOX_CACHE_DIR=~/Mail
Do you have the warnings patch (inconsitent sizes/timesptamps between index and filesystem) running at your servers, too? Do you get warnings?
Maybe you can include these warnings in the normal release and some other people have the same problems.
I think the used filesystem ext3 is rock solid.
Ciao, Gerhard

I was never able to reproduce the problem myself, and the last time we found a solution to one problem it was a configuration mistake in your end. So I'm a bit afraid if I again spend a lot of time with it we'll only find out that it's a configuration issue again.. Or possibly an issue in filesystem/something.
