I have some experience with OBSD, squirrel, vpopmail and dovecot. In my experience it would hang like that if squirrel was set up to sort/thread (or whatever the settings was named). try to turn such things off and see if that helps.

Dovecot (0.9.11) consumes 100% CPU utilisation when accessing (either pop or imap) one of my mailboxes. It doesn't happen with other mailboxes. The mailbox has about 500 mails while others have many more. They are all in mbox format.

OS: OpenBSD-3.5 with all patches MTA: Sendmail-8.12.11 It happened with other RCs of dovecot-0.9.11 Configured as: ./configure --without-pam --without-shadow --without-vpopmail --localstatedir=/var --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl --with-ssl=openssl

There is no strange information in /var/log/maillog except the normal ones like: Sep 6 10:12:40 onion imap-login: Login: zoong [127.0.0.1]

The pop or imap clients (mutt and squirrel-1.4.3a) just stay at "opening INBOX ...". mutt can open directly the mailbox without any problem. I rebooted the server and problem still happening.

Can someone advise how to find out what's wrong here? I guess there is some kind of corruption within the mailbox.

Thanks, Zoong PHAM
