[Dovecot] Some users cannot read mail: assertion failed
Hi all!
I am a recent user of dovecot. First of all, the migration from UW-IMAP was definitely worth it. But now I've run into some troubles. Two of my users complain that they can't read their Inboxes, but other folders work fine. The error message I get in the logs look like:
lynx imap(gheorghe.bancos): file buffer.c: line 357 (buffer_set_start_pos): assertion failed: (abs_pos <= I_MIN(buf->used, buf->limit)) lynx dovecot: child 1823 (imap) killed with signal 6
The problems have been reported with both MS Outlook and SquirrelMail.
What causes this problem and how can I fix it?
Thank you,
Robert Munteanu

Could you get a gdb backtrace of it? See http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html
Or can you send the mail that causes it to crash? That error alone doesn't really help.

I have no idea which mail causes the problems, because the errors I send are the only ones I get. Is it possible to get a separate dovecot process to run on a different port ( I would then be able to run gdb on it ) ?
Thanks,
Robert

It was located in /home/$USERNAME/Maildir/cur/1089379804.23861_2.lynx.aiesec.ro:2,

Hmm.. Ok, so the problem isn't with mails but with index files. You seem to be hitting some strange indexing problem. Deleting them would most likely help temporarily.
I don't think I'll spend time figuring out problems with 0.99.10 indexing code anymore, you could disable them with :INDEX=MEMORY in default_mail_env, or maybe try 1.0-test29 which seems to be working quite well.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks.
