[Dovecot] LF not found and other errors
Hi I have installed dovecot 0.99.14-r1 + postfix 2.1.5-r2 in a gentoo OS
Looking into the mail.err log I see the following errors:
Sep 6 12:26:23 mail pop3(u0185): Error indexing mbox file /var/spool/mail/u0185: LF not found where expected Sep 6 12:26:23 mail pop3(u0185): Error indexing mbox file /var/spool/mail/u0185: LF not found where expected Sep 6 12:26:23 mail pop3(u0185): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information. [20 05-09-06 12:26:23] Sep 6 12:55:44 mail imap(u0185): Error indexing mbox file /var/spool/mail/u0185: LF not found where expected Sep 6 12:55:44 mail last message repeated 7 times Sep 6 12:58:42 mail imap(u0266): Corrupted index data file /home/u0266/.imap/Inviati/.imap.index.data: Data position of rec ord 281 points outside file (62664 + 32 > 58096) Sep 6 12:58:42 mail imap(u0266): Corrupted index data file /home/u0266/.imap/Inviati/.imap.index.data: Missing location fie ld for record 281 Sep 6 13:24:19 mail last message repeated 14 times Sep 6 13:24:20 mail last message repeated 3 times Sep 6 13:47:10 mail imap(u0043): Error indexing mbox file /home/u0043/INBOX.Trash: LF not found where expected
These errors seem to be related both to imap and pop3 but I don't know how to solve the probelm.
I searched for these errors on the web and maillists and about the "LF not found", it seems a problem related to dovecot versions older than v0.99.10.5, but my version is 0.99.14-r1.
Any ideas?

This means that the mbox file has extra successive From-lines, eg.:
From someone From another
without anything between them. 0.99.x Dovecot can't handle them. Either remove them by hand, or use 1.0alpha which doesn't have that problem. Those extra From-lines however shouldn't be there and they can cause problems in any case.
