- You mentioned a "cluster". Can you provide more details on your setup?
We have 1 load balancer server, after 2 antispam antivirus, and finaly 2 dovecot server (for delivery of mail and POP/IMAP connection).
Share filesystem is on an NFS server and DB on an other PostgreSQL server.
- Do you have "dovecot-uidlist" file in users homes? Is this file get updated after users download their emails over POP3?
Yes dovecot-uidlist is on the homedir of each user (NFS)
Before POP3 (with one message in the mailbox)
mail2:/var/mail/jamesdo.com/mails/test# stat dovecot-uidlist File: `dovecot-uidlist' Size: 106 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 fichier r�gulier Device: eh/14d Inode: 45383789 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 2000/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 2000/ UNKNOWN) Access: 2006-07-17 15:09:15.000000000 +0200 Modify: 2006-07-17 13:30:01.000000000 +0200 Change: 2006-07-17 13:30:01.000000000 +0200
And after POP3
mail2:/var/mail/jamesdo.com/mails/test# stat dovecot-uidlist File: `dovecot-uidlist' Size: 106 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 fichier r�gulier Device: eh/14d Inode: 45383789 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 2000/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 2000/ UNKNOWN) Access: 2006-07-17 15:12:54.000000000 +0200 Modify: 2006-07-17 13:30:01.000000000 +0200 Change: 2006-07-17 13:30:01.000000000 +0200
So the file is just accessed but not updated. If I send new mail, then this file is updated. The content of the file is:
1 0 5 1 1153135369.P21267Q0M227315.mail2.clm.net4all.ch 2 1153135573.P22034Q0M500053.mail2.clm.net4all.ch 3 1153141989.P14835Q0M535898.mail2.clm.net4all.ch 4 1153142047.P15076Q0M96504.mail2.clm.net4all.ch
Thanks

I change nothing since 1 weeks, last update was to remove the ACL plugin.
For default_mail_env, I have:
default_mail_env = maildir:%h/:INDEX=MEMORY
For pop3_uidl_format, I read in the comment of the sample conf file:
"UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu" and a few line after "%08Xu%08Xv will be the new default" This is not the same string and I use the second "%08Xu% 08Xv"
This is strange the default Dovecot is %08Xu%08Xv and for UW is %08Xv% 08Xu ?
Thanks

Did you modified something in your config recently? Like default_mail_env = ... CONTROL=/some/path

Is this a new installation of Dovecot? Or you just upgraded from 0.99?

I have this in my configuration:
protocol pop3 { pop3_enable_last = no pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls, oe-ns-eoh }
If I change the pop3_uidl_format I need to remove all the index file on my server ? I read on the doc that this change cann't be done on a production server ?
I have more than 10'000 accounts on this cluster so I can't have a big downtime.
Thanks
