Hi all,

I have an old physical freebsd 6.2 server running Dovecot 1.0.7. I wanted to virtualised it.

So, I did a dd from the physical server and then I restored it on then now Virtual Machine.

I booted the server, all services are running just fine excepted Dovecot.

I tried to investigate the log as much as I can but i'm not getting any usefull pieces of information. The only entries I have in the log files are the following:

/*log: /var/log/messages:*/

/Dec 5 09:53:35 hostname kernel: pid 33815 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:53:39 hostname kernel: pid 33820 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:54:22 hostname kernel: pid 33910 (pop3), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:55:22 hostname kernel: pid 34071 (pop3), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:55:47 hostname kernel: pid 34103 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:56:13 hostname kernel: pid 34143 (pop3), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:56:21 hostname kernel: pid 34164 (pop3), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:56:26 hostname kernel: pid 34180 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:56:40 hostname kernel: pid 34201 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Dec 5 09:56:49 hostname kernel: pid 34227 (imap), uid 0: exited on signal 11/

/*log: /mail/log/dovecot.log:*

I'm also running a squirrelmail as a webmail and here when I refresh a folder content 3/5 times I'm getting an error:

/Error: Connection dropped by IMAP server Query: SELECT "INBOX.Corbeille"/

I'm using Dovecot version 1.0.7 on a freebsd 6.2

and my dovecot.conf is:

dovecot -n
