[Dovecot] beta8 starts but no POP3 access

[Obantec Support]

Hi

I just compiled stock beta8 on FC3 with

./configure
make
make install

all looked ok and i changed my dovecot.conf to suit.

start dovecot and i see it running

May 29 08:18:00 Info: Dovecot v1.0.beta8 starting up

POP3 to 1 account and

May 29 08:18:06 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH	1	PLAIN	service=POP3

POP3(obantec_com): Corrupted index cache file
/home/domain/domain17/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: indexid changed
May 29 08:18:06 proteus2 dovecot: child 19536 (pop3) killed with signal 11

yy.yy.yy.yy & xx.xx.xx.xx are the ip's just masked out.

OE just immediately say error , what is also worrying is the Corrupted index
message even though i am using POP3.

any ideas what to look for.
I might add a test box running FC3 and the same .conf works!
