Accessing or listing "mdbox_deleted" contents seems to destroy MDBOX
indexes.
Examples of commands which triggers this problem ($home being the home
directory of $user, and mail_location being mdbox:~/mdbox):
doveadm -o mail="mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox" -f table mailbox status -u
"$user" 'messages vsize' INBOX
doveadm -v import -s -u "$user" "mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox"
restored-mail ALL
The above "doveadm mailbox status" command outputs an error:
doveadm(user): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=1,offset=104908
for (in-memory index): Append with UID 1, but next_uid = 5227
doveadm(user): Warning: fscking index file (in-memory index)
Subsequent "doveadm mailbox status -u $user 'messages vsize'" on the
active mailbox report empty folders (null messages and vsize), whereas
folders actually aren't empty.
Workaround: this problem is corrected by a "doveadm search -u $user
all", which obviously forces indexes to be rebuilt.
Vesion: 2.2.26.0 (23d1de6) (Debian jessie-backports package)
We did *not* have this problem in 2.2.24 version (previous Debian
jessie-backports package).
We use following mail_location with explicit DIRNAME (don't know if that
matters):
mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:DIRNAME=_@@_dbox-Mails_@@_
I tested with and without appending ":DIRNAME=_@@_dbox-Mails_@@_" to
mail="mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox" with same results.
