[dovecot] 0.99.4 uploaded to Debian
Hi,
I'm the Debian maintainer of UW-Imap. Like many I'm somewhat frustrated with the limitations of it so I am very pleased to see that Dovecot is becoming a strong alternative. I have uploaded packages of 0.99.4 to the Debian unstable distribution (sid). Because this is a new package it has to be added by hand so it may be a while before it shows up in sid. In the mean time, I have made the packages (also for stable or woody) available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ Debian users, please take a look and give me some feedback.
Unfortunately much to my embarrasment I can't currently use dovecot on my own account. I get a meesage like this in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 18 09:01:31 samadhi imap(jaldhar): Error indexing mbox file /home/jaldhar/mail/inbox: LF not found where expected
The mbox in question is about 17MB and opens fine in uw-imapd. Any clues?

Great, I've been waiting for that a few months now :) 0.99.5 should probably come soon too, if I only figured why Dovecot's indexes sometimes break when deleting mails with mutt.

Do you happen to have two From lines next to each others there? Like:
From a@b ... From b@c ...
I think that's the only case Dovecot doesn't currently handle. I tried to fix it for that a few times but the code just gets uglier and I figured it's not worth the trouble since only time I've had it happen is with some Dovecot bugs.
