Hi !
I would like to jump to version 2.2.9 instead of 2.1.7 to avoid maybe hundred of segfault by day but my problem with the assertion is always here. Anyone has an idea to resolve it ?

Hi !
I have an old Courier IMAP and in front of it, I have put a proxy cache with Dovecot/imapc.
I use Debian Wheezy (stable) which package Dovecot in version 2.1.7. I have tested the upgrade to Debian Jessie (testing) which package Dovecot in version 2.2.9 but an assertion is thrown :
dovecot: imap(xxx): Panic: file imapc-list.c: line 499 (imapc_list_delete_unused_indexes): assertion failed: (strncmp(vname, fs_list->ns->prefix, fs_list->ns->prefix_len) == 0)
I have checked source code and have seen that if *imapc_list_prefix* is not set, assertion will not be "walked". It's works but special inbox aren't detected correctly in email clients. If I understand the meaning of *vname* variable, it is because our Courier IMAP send us "INBOX" which is the value of my *imapc_list_prefix*and thus, assertion is thrown.
Here some details of my tests :
Courier IMAP :

And the dovecot configuration relative to the inbox :
imapc_list_prefix = INBOX namespace inbox { inbox = yes separator = . prefix = INBOX. }
Any help will be welcome :)
