[Dovecot] Emails corrupted...
Hi All,
I have just setup a Dovecot Imap server on a Ubuntu 6.06 Lamp box. Basically I use fetchmail to retrieve emails from foregin pop accounts and then procmail transfers emails for /var/mail/username to ~/Maildir/new and other folders.
Everything works fine *except* if my Thunderbird client is connected (I haven't tried any other client).
If an email is received while TB is connected, then the file for the email is empty (eg size 0) leading to an empty email dated 1/jan/1970!.
As I'm quite to Dovecot (and Linux in general), I'm quite a bit lost.
Anyone there who could help ?
Best regards Jean-François

Hi Folks,
I could finally fix my problem. It was due to incorrect procmail configuration. It was delivering emails to ~/Maildir/new instead of ~/Maildir/
See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-July/014903.html and http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir
