Update: The error occurs only if the first message in the mailbox has "wrong" From line. If the first "From" is fine, then the mailbox is accessible, but the messages with "bad" "From" line are not separated from the previous "good" messages.

Again, this is something that changed since 0.99.13.

Hello,

I have upgraded my dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 to dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 recently and now am having weird problem.

If somebody's mailbox has the first line in a form of From "User Name" <user@host.domain.edu> Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 instead of From user@host.domain.edu Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999

then that mailbox couldn't be precessed by dovecot. It wasn't a problem with 0.99.13, but it is a problem with 1.0.

Is there any fix for that on a dovecot's side? I don't like the idea of going through all 100Gb of mailboxes and fixing the From line.

Thank you,

FiL
