Hi

One Wed I posted the following message and have had no replies. I am reposting as I think this is a Dovecot bug but I am not sure. If anyone can assist on this I'd be most grateful.

Tks

Hi

I am testing FC5 before upgrading my main server and I am getting errors with

dovecot 1.0 beta3 - both the distributed RPM and also the one at ATrpms and thunderbird (the distributed version which is thunderbird-1.5-6)

I am running both dovecot and thunderbird on the same machine, pointing thunderbird at 127.0.0.1 for its imap server.

The symptoms are an inability to access mail - thunderbird just keeps on trying and getting nowhere and even if I shut down thunderbird on the client, it still leaves processes running that have to be killed by hand.

In the maillog I get

Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<hartr>, method=plain, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/hartr (8 > 1, seq=2, idx_msgs=4) Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset

• ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) Mar 29 09:17:26 bree dovecot: child 14242 (imap) killed with signal 6

When I point this thunderbird at my main (dovecot 0.99) server everything is fine, which seems to suggest that this is a dovecot problem and not a thunderbird one.

Can anyone give me any pointers on this please as it's a show stopper for upgrading my main server.

Tks
