Good news and bad news.
The good news is that I've been core dump free for about 24 hours. The
duplicate message issue is still there, so if you wanted that fix then
I guess the patch is not complete yet, otherwise it looks good.
The bad news is that I'm now convinced that another problem I've been
experiencing is real and not related to any of this since it's still
persists.
Randomly for a few releases now myself and my coworkers have been
seeing a weird bug where old mail marked as "read" suddenly becomes
marked as "new" again when going into a folder. Sometimes it's as bad
as the entire folder deciding it is all unread when in fact is was all
read, other times it's randomly a few pieces of mail that constantly
revert to unread status. I've watched this on my personal server as
well as heard complaints from our user population.
I don't believe this is an NFS issue because my personal account is a
standalone server with both a local index and maildir running 1.2.9.
Also, I'm only ever connected from one place at a time. Just this
morning when I got to work I logged in with Thunderbird and my
"dovecot" mailing list folder suddenly had 3,000 new messages in it,
all of which had been previous read. I marked the folder as read, then
a little while later I went into the older and they all reverted to
new again. I've also seen it where if I try deleting one of these
messages marked as new, it disappears for a second, then magically
reappears in my folder as new.
Unfortunately, I'm not seeing a single log message related to this. As
you can tell, I watch the logs like a hawk, yet nothing ever appears
to throw an error or any message whatsoever. All my test cases have
been with Thunderbird 3.0, I'm not sure if other clients a
re seeing this.
Hello, same problem here. I use Thunderbird 3.0.1. The strange thing is
that with the same version of TB on my PC at home I don't have this
issue. The same TB on my work PC has this issue and only on one account
(that has Dovecot as imap server) but I have other account (some with
dovecot, other with courier-imap) where this does not happen, so I think
is TB related.
Also here no NFS, ext3.
