[Dovecot] Strange index problem

[Andrew Hutchings]

Hi,

OK, I have 2 servers accessing the same mailboxes via NFS (indexes on
each servers local HDD).  They are on a round robin connection system.
I have had a mailbox (customer using Eudora for Mac and storing mail for
a certain amount of days) that on one server says there are 281 messages
and the other says there are 194 messages.  Of course this leads to
re-downloading the difference.  The mails that are invisible to the
second machine are not sequential, they are at random places in the
mailbox.
Deleting the indexed on the machine that is inconsistent seems to fix
it.

We seem to get this problem about once a week or 2 over 6000 mailboxes.

Regards
Andrew
