Hello! After submitting this bug I checked the versions of the dovecot packages. The machine was upgrading from Debian Sarge to Etch. After a full dist-upgrade including rewriting/adapting the config files it has the following packages installed:
dovecot install (0.99.14-1sarge0) dovecot-common install (1.0.rc15-2etch1) dovecot-imapd install (1.0.rc15-2etch1) dovecot-pop3d install (1.0.rc15-2etch1) I fail to understand why aptitude shows 0.99.14-1sarge0 for the dovecot package. All upgrades and security fixes were applied. There is no pinning of packages in place. I already has a short mail discussion with Fabio Tranchitella about the version of dovecot in Etch. The original 1.0.rc15 needs some upgrades. I fixed a similar behaviour of dovecot after an upgrade to Etch by removing the package and installing dovecot 1.0.0 from source. The same mailboxes that caused the errors stopped producing the "Can't open INBOX" error and everything worked fine. The current dovecot package contains real showstoppers for upgrades from Sarge to Etch. Let me know if you need any config files or other information. Best wishes, René. -- )\._.,--....,'``.
