Hi All,

I'm new to the list and may be it's a known issue. I have a set of servers with RHEL6 and dovecot-2.2.10-1_14.el6.x86_64 and another set of servers with RHEL7 and, now, with dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64. Both sets write to the same NFS. Since I updated RHEL7 servers (from 2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64) I've problems with index files when a RHEL7 dovecot service write to the filesystem of a user (the first log line corresponds to RHEL7 and the others to RHEL6):

Due to this issue when the user goes into his webmail, he can not see the inbox. If I delete dovecot.* files from the user maildir it gets solved, but usually it happens again, so it's not the solution.

Is it any solution for this issue or should I downgrade dovecot to 2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64 again?

Thanks and best regards
