I see this a lot using Thunderbird & an old-ish dovecot (test-46 I think). it is triggered by leaving thunderbird connected at work, going home and accessing the same IMAP server from mutt at home. If I use mutt in read-only mode it's fine, but if I delete any messages in mutt, then the work Thunderbird gets very very confused.

I'm using one of the stable 1.0 releases for 184 accounts on Gentoo Linux on Sparc. I too am seeing the message header/body mismatch in Thunderbird. Is the index file handling sufficiently robust against surprises that I can delete the dovecot index files every night out from under the logged-in imap sessions? Brian
