[Dovecot] Handling of file "maildirsize"
Hello,
My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP.
Exim Log shows:
2009-07-24 14:03:40 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 == user@domain.tu-berlin.de R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery defer (2): No such file or directory: while opening or reading /var/Mail/Boxes/u/user/maildirsize
2009-07-24 14:20:32 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 => user user@domain.tu-berlin.de F=user@domain.tu-berlin.de R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery S=2061 QT=16m52s DT=0s
The user was active using IMAP at 14:03:4*.
Therefor there must be a short period of time where no maildirsize exists.
Can this really happen? If yes, could this behaviour be changed?
Kind regards, Frank Elsner

This happens if Dovecot detects that maildir changed while it was rebuilding maildirsize file.

The other possibility would be to just leave the maildirsize there with wrong quota usage value. This is actually what Courier seems to be doing. I don't really like that behavior either.
