Hi,

I compressed many files using bzip2, but in some cases it crashes. I believe that it is related to dovecot indexes.

How to reproduce:

Inside a Maildir folder without any indexes yet, compress a message with bzip2 and tryes to access it.

At my server is showed the error:

Jun 24 00:18:20 maildev dovecot: IMAP(xxx@xxx): FETCH for mailbox Trash UID 1 failed to read message input: No such file or directory Jun 24 00:18:20 maildev dovecot: IMAP(xxx@xxx): Disconnected: BUG: Unknown internal error bytes=329/1050

When I did the same with gzip compression it works as expected (opening the message and creating dovecot indexes).

(version, 1.1.16)

Compression bzlib/bzip2 supported since version v1.1.2+, as wiki say:

Zlib plugin can be used to read compressed mbox and maildir files. Zlib plugin supports compression using zlib/gzip and bzlib/bzip2 (v1.1.2+).
