Hello, first time here. I am playing with Dovecot because of its mdbox storage, SIS feature and altstorage ability. I authenticate against LDAP (passdb), but I don't fetch operational data from LDAP (mail_locations are static from config files and "user_attrs = =uid=500, =gid=500, =home=/maildata1/home/%d/%1n/%n").

On a daily basis I run "doveadm altmove -A savedbefore 5d"

Thunderbird apparently works 100%, but only apparently. When accessing one of those mailboxes through Open-Xchange IMAP I got an error for the first time. Then I could reproduce it with Thunderbird as well, I simply had to open the message mentioned in the log:

This happens on many messages sitting in the altstorage that had an attachment. The detached attachment file does not exist. Sometimes not even the path is there (anymore?).

At some point in time I have run "doveadm purge" on the mailbox in error, but I am not sure that is the culprit.

Have I hit a bug or done something wrong? Please suggest tests to verify where I stand.
