Situation: dovecot-stable-20050528 on x86, Linux 2.4.30, ext3, maildir

I'm trying to use the imapsync utility (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/) to copy 1500 messages from a UW-imap server to dovecot.

After about 100 messages are successfully appended, I'm seeing this in the server log, following which all APPENDs fail.

May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): utime(/home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: No such file or directory May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Our dotlock file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was deleted May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Corrupted transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: Append with UID 3718, but next_uid = 3719 May 28 09:01:06 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Lost transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 6 May 28 09:01:07 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Lost transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 6 May 28 09:01:07 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Corrupted transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: Append with UID 3718, but next_uid = 3719
