Hi!
I installed Dovecot from the FreeBSD port. I have about 20 users on this machine and used popper before switching.
I get a lot of error messages like:
dovecot: Mar 21 10:03:41 Error: pop3(xxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/xxx (37326 > 35874, seq=1, idx_msgs=26)
dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:17 Error: imap(yyy): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/yyy (37352 > 36945, seq=1, idx_msgs=2)
dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:18 Error: imap(yyy): kevent(1) in io_loop_handle_add() failed: Bad file descriptor
dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:18 Error: imap(yyy): kevent(1) in io_loop_handle_remove failed: Bad file descriptor
dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:22 Error: imap(yyy): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/yyy (37354 > 36945, seq=1, idx_msgs=205)
Most of the errors are the mbox sync messages. The users report that they get all mails double, triple and more... I think this is connected to the UID problem.
My config file looks like that:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot.err info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S " login_process_size = 64 verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_gid = 0 mail_extra_groups = mail default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep }
protocol pop3 { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh }
auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } plugin { }
Any ideas?
