The initial problem I was seeing after upgrade from 2.0beta5 to 2.0beta6 was error messages from my Android phone K9 client that dovecot was reporting -1 messages in various mailboxes. These mailboxes do have the special "Mail System Internal Data" message in them.

In trying to get more information for debugging, I tried toenable rawlog using the same configuration I used successfully with 2.0beta5, namely:

service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin }

service imap-postlogin { executable = script rawlog unix_listener imap-postlogin { } }

(full dovecot -n below), but instead of successful rawlog writes, I got the following log messages:

Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: script: Fatal: Client not compatible with this binary (connecting to wrong socket?)

Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: imap: Error: fd_read(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: disconnected

So the first question is how do I configure rawlog for 2.0beta6?

And the next question is why the "-1 messages".

Here's dovecot -n
