[Dovecot] mbox "Next message unexpectedly lost" bug fixed
Good news, everyone!
The most annoying bug in v1.1 series should finally be fixed by these patches:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/f28348c5201e http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/74c47fcfb420 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/a28520d26b5a http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/539f8d983285 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/9b7af230f9f0
They also make sure that mbox is never read while it's not locked. I think that could have happened in some situations with v1.1. Hopefully mbox handling will now finally be as stable in v1.1 as it was in v1.0.
I'll make a new v1.1 release after seeing what bug fixes are coming from Apple, so probably next week.

Hi,
could I ask when is planned to release new dovecot 1.1 version? In Fedora there are users affected by this issue, so I'd like to know if I should release new dovecot rpm with this patch or wait for new dovecot version.
Cheers, Michal
First the good news: with these patches, the "Next message unexpectedly lost" bugs I got so far were all caused reading a mbox written by a previous version of dovecot.
So I think this time you really fixed the last annoying 1.1.x bug :)
Then another doubt: with these patches I'm still getting some:
FETCH for mailbox Sent UID 1077 got too little data: 1380 vs 3541 Corrupted index cache file /mailhome/username/.imap/Sent/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 1077
These mails were written by a hg version pulled Dec 14 (that includes the mbox patches).
Any suggestion for the kind of debug I can add to help solving these ones?
Regards, Diego.
