[Dovecot] Corrupted transaction log file

[Will Ling]

Hi,
 I am new to dovecot and have just got it up and running on mandrake
8.2. Dovecot seems to be running OK, I can telnet in and log in and 
Mail on OS X will get the folder list but if a client selects a mail
box I get an error back. I cannot find any help anywhere on the errors
I'm getting so I hope this is the right place to ask. Please see the
log file below. Any clues to the problem would be greatly appreciated.


This was after an attempted login from Mail then another try using
Mutt locally:
