Hi everyone,

Dovecot keeps on segfaulting on me and I am unsure why. This setup has been running for 5 years and has given me very little trouble.

I am running Dovecot 2.1.7, setup with mdbox.

The imap process keeps on segfaulting for the same account (makes me think maybe an email or folder of that account is problematic).

My big issue is that force-resync also causes doveadm to segfault.

Here is the mail.err file I am getting:

First line is imap segfaulting. Last lines are doveadm segfaulting when I try to run force-resync.

Does anyone have any clue what to do in this situation?
