I recommend restarting it at least once per day. that is a valid issue.. I know iceweasel, & other programs have the same problem, eventually, they either eat up all the CPU, Memory, or just crash.

[Dovecot] thunderbird crashed-mail_max_userip
thunderbird just crashed, and I've never seen this before.

[Dovecot] squirrelmail inbox empty
I am running Dovecot + Postfix +Squirrelmail on Debian Lenny.Fetchmail pulls the mail, dovecot spreads it around. I had squirrelmail setup & I tested it from within my router ( internal LAN). yesterday I had to go babysit my grand daughter, and I setup port forward for IMAP port 143, and I can use squirrelmail through firefox on my laptop. All the other folders have all the mail from the time I left til now. Yesterday I was reading inbpox mail, deleted a few junks, etc, and suspended my laptop. When I came back my inbox was empty, and I've never seen any more messages in it. I know I should have LOTS of older+new messages that don't get filtered. Unfortunately ssh doesn't seem to work from this linux side, it does from the windos side ( ssh keys?), so I can't get in to look at the logs.. I already removed ( I think ) all the inbox index files... & restarted, but no joy. I am not sure if it is getting filtered from the ibox, or if I just can't see it. I am not familiar with how squirrelmail works with local IMAP folders, so I am unsure where to look or what logs to browse. I will be home later today. suggestions clues or otherwise?? -- Paul Cartwright
