[Dovecot] dovecot newbie question about "invalid key" problem
Hello list,
I've trying to migrate a small uw-imap server to dovecot.
It works somewhat, and speed seems greatly improved, so thats great.
However, I get an "invalid key/Internal Error" problem when connectiong to my INBOX with thunderbird.
According to google this is a well known problem with mozilla mailers. Dovecot is not lenient with this bug in thunderbird.
Is there some workaround for this? I noticed that its possible to turn on some client bug workarounds for outlook. Does the same go for mozilla?
I tried one described remedy, which was to delete the account information and re-register the account. This didnt help.
The problem seems to be only with INBOX, which I have mapped to /var/spool/mail/<username>, not my other imap mailboxes.
Im running gnus as well and the problem doesnt seem to occur there.
My configuration: Redhat 9 dovecot 0.99.10.5 (from DAG repository RPM:s)
Another question: Would it be possible to run uw-imap on one port, and dovecot on another? Or would that corrupt the mailstores?
Regards, /Joakim

I don't know what "invalid key" means, but "Internal error" seems to come from Dovecot. Look for /var/log/mail.log (or something similiar) to see the real error message.

I'm guessing the problem is that it can't create dotlock. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/VarMailDotLock

It's possible, as long as the locking is set in same way. Both use at least dotlocking by default which is enough to prevent corruption.
