Any ideas? Justin. Hi Justin, Does the problem persist? Does it cause glitches for the user? Does it cause some corruptions or it's just a line in your log? Is it reproducible? I think it is some kind of corruption of the mailbox, but I found weird it persists after the deletion of all email. May be you should expunge deleted messages from the mailbox. Kind regards, Hi, I believe it is due to a lock/race condition with the Mailbox format, when you have alpine open (accessing the Mailbox) and an external client, e.g. Outlook or thunderbird. Yes, when both clients access the mailbox it usually locks up Outlook or alpine.. I suppose the maildir format may be the better option but alpine has issue with that format.? Justin.

Hi, I have not tried that, will try it and get back to you. (dovecot.index*) files. Thanks! Justin.

Oh, you can reproduce it easily? If all mails were deleted, I'd think the offset at least changes? What about if you delete dovecot.index* files?

There's not much that can be done about it unless I can figure out a way to reproduce it.. Did dovecot 1.2.9 include this patch: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2009-December/015177.html So now one sees the message, whereas before, no message was shown? Right. Hi, It continues: Jan 24 16:25:34 l1 dovecot: IMAP(ap): Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/user/Mailbox at 44985 Would there be anyway to further troubleshoot this to find the root cause of the issue? If it is corrupted, how come pine and/or Outlook 2007 do not seem to be 'affected' by the corruption? Justin.
