[Dovecot] Can't move messages
Hi,
I use dovecot with IMAP over SSL and with Plain Text authentication. I've been using that for quite a while, but now (with my new PC), it's not working like it should (I tried several 1.0* releases, including 1.0-rc6. The problem is that I can't move messages from one IMAP folder to another, no matter which mail client. When I use KMail, I get:
"The connection to the server parena was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be re-established automatically if possible."
But everything still works. The messages hasn't moved (deleting (so send to Trash folder) also doesn't work), it stays where it is.
With Thunderbird, it just goes nuts in the status bar saying "Connecting..." and some other messages: clearly it tries to move, loses the connection and tries again and again...
An extra weird thing is when I move a message from my IMAP account to a local folder, it works. And then I can move that message from the local folder to my IMAP account. It only doesn't work when moving messages within the IMAP account.
I use: openssh 4.3_p2-r1 openssl 0.9.7j
I hope someone can help me, 'coz my wife will soon start to find it just as annoying as I already do. ;)

Oh, sorry about that. This is what I get from the dovecot_sys log:
dovecot: Aug 09 00:01:22 Error: IMAP(parena): file mail-cache-transaction.c: line 709 (mail_cache_add): assertion failed: (fixed_size == (unsigned int)-1 || fixed_size == data_size) dovecot: Aug 09 00:01:22 Error: child 15211 (imap) killed with signal 6
dovecot_info log says:
dovecot: Aug 09 00:01:22 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<parena>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.0.1, lip=10.0.0.1, TLS

Somewhere in the proces your email about the 32/64 bit change got lost, but the find command that removes all indexes worked. I can now move my mail around again. Thanks very much!

Oops, I hit Reply instead of Reply To All. So here is what I sent to Paul, just for posterity:
Did you change from a 32bit to a 64bit machine, or anything like that?
As far as I can tell this error comes up when the files were written with one offset and are accessed with another. The file offset can be changed with the ./configure switch, --with-file-offset= either 32 or 64. see ./configure --help.
Also, you can removed your index files (cd Maildir; find . -name 'dovecot.index*' -exec rm -f {} \;) and they will be rewritten on next
access.
