I have found getmail+sieve works a lot nicer. Then just use kmail as a IMAP client.

I am using exim via dovecot_deliver to store messages in Maildir in my $HOME. I am using kmail to retrieve stuff. Unfortunately, something in my data crashes dovecot.
I was using 1.0.rc14 from opensuse, but downloaded and installed 1.0.8 from the site.
Here is the crash:

I took the liberty to syslog() the seq numbers before the assert and indeed
h743107:/etc/dovecot # grep "imap: seq1" /var/log/messages | head -3 Dec 5 18:30:18 h743107 imap: seq1 1 seq2 1 Dec 5 18:30:18 h743107 imap: seq1 1 seq2 1 Dec 5 18:30:18 h743107 imap: seq1 1 seq2 1 h743107:/etc/dovecot # grep "imap: seq1" /var/log/messages | awk '($9 < $7) { print }' Dec 5 18:30:42 h743107 imap: seq1 28 seq2 16 Dec 5 18:32:43 h743107 imap: seq1 28 seq2 16
What exactly is broken here and how can I fix that?
