[Dovecot] 1.1Beta5 Issue
I installed 1.1Beta 5 this weekend. I had no problems at all yesterday using Thunderbird. I started reading my mail with Squirrelmail this morning and everything was going pretty smooth. I tried to delete a daily e-mail I receive from careerbuilder.com and the IMAP process shot up to 99.9% and I was not able to do anything in Squirrelmail. I killed that process and tried it again just to be sure what it was. And it did it again. I can delete any other message with no problems, just that one causes me issues. I am not sure if Thunderbird is the same, I will have to wait until I get home tonight.
If there is any troubleshooting you would like me to do, please let me know.

By "deleting" I suppose you mean "Move to trash", so the problematic part is probably copying the message to another mailbox.
So I guess it gets to infinite loop somehow. Would be nice if you could get gdb backtrace from the running process:
gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap <pid of imap process> bt full
Also if that's not a sensitive email, could you send it to me?

I have a question about using gdb, as I too had a message that I could not move between folders (however, that was prior to 1.1b5). When you say to gdb the "pid of imap process", how do you determine which pid to trace when the output of "ps axf" is?:
2252 ? Ss 0:00 dovecot 2256 ? S 0:00 \_ dovecot-auth 2265 ? S 0:00 \_ imap-login 2266 ? S 0:00 \_ imap-login 2267 ? S 0:00 \_ imap-login 3048 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3054 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3061 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3063 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3064 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3065 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3066 ? S 0:00 \_ imap 3404 ? S 0:00 \_ imap
Thanks for any feedback!

Well, ps aux at least shows the user (if you use different UIDs). Also if you have an imap process eating 100% CPU that'd be a good clue as well. :)
Setting verbose_proctitle=yes is also helpful.

I had already tried the ps "u" flag, but the user in my configuration is always "vuser".
Setting verbose_proctitle=yes is also helpful.
Ah yes, setting "verbose_proctitle=yes" helped indeed:
vuser [...] imap [bill@inetmsg.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Is there any reason not to keep "verbose_proctitle=yes" set (like performance issues or something)?
Thanks!
