Hello all... Found a weird one here. I tried to search the web but I'm not having luck so I thought I'd hit the mailing list.
We have noticed off and on all school year that every so often a user gets an email that they just can't delete using Thunderbird or Outlook over IMAP (we do not support Pop3 anymore.) Essentially the user clicks the email and takes it to the trash. When they empty the trash the email appears again in their inbox as if it was new! Up until this point I would just tell people to login to Usermin which is still set to access the email natively through the maildir format and delete it that way.
What we have found out is that emails which have their info fields repeated twice are emails which can't be deleted. So for example: root@gator:/home/somedude# find ./ -iname '*,*,*' ./Maildir/cur/1208807796.29873_0.gator:2,Sb:2,S
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/39bb56f31185 fixes this.
Unfortunately I don't know how or why these emails are created.
Maybe Usermin creates them?
