Hi,
I'm starting to see more and more duplicates in my cur directory. they
seem to be a copy of an incoming mail (messages share the same date) but
they appears in the client as a message without subject and without
sender or body. Their filename starts with an underscore and the 4th
letter is a %. The rest of the filename is random (but it also includes
my hostname). Which program could create such a filename ? If it's in
the cur directory, it can only be dovecot, right ?
Example of 2 probably related messages in the cur folder:
1785 Apr 20 09:18 msg.zMeU:2,d
0 Apr 20 09:18 _J9C%jVVzLB.{myhostname}:2,
In addition, it seems that since we have started to use thunderbird 3,
indexes are often corrupt, mailboxes needs reconstruction and so on.
Could it be an incompatibility with my version of dovecot ? I've
disabled my thunderbird filters that were moving the incoming mail
automatically, no difference. I use no antivirus (linux imap client
mainly). I can (probably) upgrade to dovecot-1.2.11-3_108 but I'd like
to be sure that I won't create more problems before doing it.
The homedirs are NFS mounted.
dovecot 1.1.7-0_84
squirrelmail 1.4.19
postfix 2.6.5-1
Here is my dovecot -n
