Mailbox suddenly inaccessible
Hi,
out of the sudden I've an inaccessible folder with Dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) from Debian Jessy backports.
$ doveadm mailbox list -u mail@example.com INBOX/Erledigt INBOX/Erledigt/Erledigt INBOX/Versicherung gesendet Sent INBOX
However, it is not accessible any more, my IMAP client tells me: "STATUS: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/Erledigt"
Also: $ doveadm search -u mail@example.com mailbox INBOX/Erledigt doveadm(mail@example.com): Error: Couldn't get mailbox 'INBOX/Erledigt' GUID: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/Erledigt
Other mailboxes (especially INBOX/Erledigt/Erledigt) are accessible: $ doveadm search -u mail@example.com mailbox INBOX/Erledigt/Erledigt 60af0f1964d68d574a480000f94cf17a 346 60af0f1964d68d574a480000f94cf17a 367 ...
$ doveadm -f table mailbox status -u mail@example.com "messages vsize" "INBOX*" mailbox messages vsize INBOX/Erledigt2 15 25868676 INBOX/Erledigt/Erledigt 4344 6107238270 INBOX 24 36081472
I'm using mdbox and see no errors in syslog from dovecot.
Any ideas on what's going on and how I can recover the mails in that folder?

Hi!
Is the Erledigt2 folder somehow related to this?

Oh, the user just created Erledigt2 as a workaroud as long as Erledigt is not accessible while I executed the command for my previous mail.
What concerns me is that on the filesystem Erledigt2, Erledigt/Erledigt and all other mailboxes have a subfolder named "dbox-Mails", Erledigt does not have this subfolder. How can this happen?
Btw. It seems as if the INBOX/Erledigt/Erledigt folder contains all the mails from the now inaccessible INBOX/Erledigt folder.
