[Dovecot] Index and Thunderbird
Hi,
Whitbox Linux 3 (RHEL) Dovecot 1.0.rc29 Using NFS
From time to time does all mail get re-downloaded to Thunderbird. I would believe this has something to do with an index problem. I upgraded to 1.0 a few months ago but that didn't work well so I installed version 1.0.rc29 which worked better but we still get this problem from time to time. DOes anyone know if it is a good idea to install 1.03 or perhaps 1.1alpha?

Without dovecot -n output, it is difficult to guess... but most likely it is something to do with the POP3UIDL format. Have you read closely this page:

Maybe this will help: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-December/018145.html
Or are you using multiple Dovecot servers accessing the same user's mailboxes? v1.0 doesn't handle that all that great either, which could cause these kind of problems. With v1.1 you can set mail_nfs_storage=yes to fix this.
