[Dovecot] log contents questions?
I switched from using Pegasus and POP3 to Thunderbird and IMAP for my email. Now I get a lot of "Corrupted index cache file" errors in my log. Dovecot is running under Fedora 8 and is version 1.0.13-6.fc8. The Thunderbird is version 2.0.0.14 running under Windows XP. My wife's Blackberry is also using IMAP and not reporting any errors.
Any ideas what the problem is or how to fix it?
Thanks,
knute...

Output of dovecot -n?
Any additional config parameters? No one here is a mind reader... ;)

No offense intended, but...

It [should be] a given that basic configuration information will most likely be necessary to help you find a problem... no? At least, thats the way its always been on every support list I've ever been on...
Anyway, a quick google finds some hits on this error, so if you had already googled the error (and if you hadn't - shouldn't you have?)...
It appears the consensus is, these errors are harmless and don't impact performance, Timo cannot reporoduce them any longer (since post 1.0 release), and he thnks they are fixed in 1.1 version (release imminent).
One thing I saw suggested was to be sure that no client is accessing the affected maildirs, and delete the indexes manually.
There is also a suggeston that there may be an issue with NFS/Redhat and certain kernel versions...
Are you using NFS? What version of the Redhat kernel?

You're right!

I didn't have as much luck as you, so thank you for finding the info.
I'll give that a try and see what the log says tomorrow.
No NFS. 2.6.24.7-92.fc8.
