Hello Folks,

Yesterday while messing around with procmail for SpamAssassin I had my IMAP 
client open and it lost it's ability to see my Inbox except for two messages. I 
tried another IMAP client and no success. I can see all other directories such 
as sent and the ones I have made. The mbox file is there and catable/grepable. 
I even made a new one. I can read a test account Inbox from the same server 
with my usual client. Also my small number of other users appear to be using 
pop3 as normal.

Tried so far:
* Multiple clients including pop3.
* Removed spamd and procmail stuff.
* Various permissions.
* New mbox.
* Restart everything, although I am not sure I rebooted the server last night.
* Searched for lock files that may need to be deleted.
* Googled

Server setup:
* Mandriva Linux 2009.1
* Dovecot 1.1.13
* Postfix 2.5.6


Hello Again,

I finally decided to specify the mbox paths in the dovecot.conf and all is ok 
now.  Not sure why I had to do that since it has been working for years through 
upgrades as it was.
