Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.33.2 on a RHEL 7, new installation. My log is full of :

Error: INDEX_FOLDER/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent

or

Error: INDEX_FOLDER/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent

when shared folder is never touched and empty.

UserA share XXXXX folder with UserB, if XXXXX folder is new (never touched) and empty every time UserB looks in that folder, an error appears in log file. If UserA copy a mail in XXXXX folder, no more errors. If UserA (or UserB) delete all mails in XXXXX folder (the folder is empty again), no more errors.

So the errors appear when UserB access a new (never touched) shared empty folder; if the folder is empty, but not new (p.e. UserA has already copied and deleted mails in that folder) error is logged only once.

Attached my configuration.

Thanks, Marco
