Hello,
i have a annoying problem with dovecot after updating to 1.1.14.
Dovecot seems to empty all cur/ and new/ Folders in the Maildir of a
particular user several times a day (3 times so far). It leaves only
unread messages in their place. All Index-Files are getting updated and
reflect the "empty"-State of the Mailbox.
A quick look over the logfiles reveals nothing which seems to be
relevant to this malfunction. The error_log is empty for the relevant
timeframe.
There is no Expire/Expunge-Plugin running.
Fortunately i have a hourly backup-snapshot to restore the Mailboxes,
but this is obviously no solution.
How can i debug this problem? Any advice is welcome.
System: FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, dovecot-1.1.14, dovecot-managesieve-0.10.6,
dovecot-sieve-1.1.6 (all installed via the ports-tree), exim-4.69_3
Clients: Thunderbird, Mail.app both IMAP only
Regards,
Alex
