[Dovecot] FreeBSD 5.4/Dovecot 1.0.b3: lots of error messages

[Martin Jangowski]

Hi!

I installed Dovecot from the FreeBSD port. I have about 20 users on this 
machine and used popper before switching.

I get a lot of error messages like:

dovecot: Mar 21 10:03:41 Error: pop3(xxx): mbox sync: UID 
inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/xxx (37326 > 35874, seq=1,
idx_msgs=26)

dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:17 Error: imap(yyy): mbox sync: UID 
inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/yyy (37352 > 36945, seq=1, 
idx_msgs=2)

dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:18 Error: imap(yyy): kevent(1) in 
io_loop_handle_add() failed: Bad file descriptor

dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:18 Error: imap(yyy): kevent(1) in 
io_loop_handle_remove failed: Bad file descriptor

dovecot: Mar 21 10:06:22 Error: imap(yyy): mbox sync: UID 
inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/yyy (37354 > 36945, seq=1, 
idx_msgs=205)

Most of the errors are the mbox sync messages. The users report that they 
get all mails double, triple and more... I think this is connected to the 
UID problem.

My config file looks like that:

protocols = imap imaps pop3
disable_plaintext_auth = no
log_path =  /var/log/dovecot.err
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info
log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S "
login_process_size = 64
verbose_proctitle = yes
first_valid_gid = 0
mail_extra_groups = mail
default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u
protocol imap {
   imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh 
tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}

protocol pop3 {
   login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
   mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3
   pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
   pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
}

auth default {
   mechanisms = plain
   passdb pam {
   }
   userdb passwd {
   }
   user = root
}
plugin {
}


Any ideas?
