Hi guys,

I use a virtual mailbox setup with dovecot/postfix. Which reside under /virtual. I get an error message which doesn't return anything interesting in Google. I get this:

imap(user@domain.com): File isn't in mbox format: /virtual/domain.com/user/imapd/Trash

I have no idea on how to fix this. I seem to be able to delete messages though. But I'd like to repair this, since I like to have clean logs ;)

It means the Trash file doesn't look like mbox, ie. the first line doesn't start with "From ". You probably have some extra empty line there at the beginning and Dovecot doesn't like it. There's some bug in 0.99 code which sometimes makes that happen.
