The maildir filename has wrong S=size value. Dovecot should fix this automatically, but since it does it only one failure at a time it can take a while.. Other solutions would be to either have Dovecot ignore the value with maildir_broken_filename_sizes=yes or run a script that fixes the filenames: http://www.dovecot.org/tools/maildir-size-fix.pl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
