Sure. That fix restores access to the mailbox/message/attachment. What if the file disappeared before the backup process copied it? What if 1% of 20'000 users open a ticket a day for the same reason? But ... why did it disappear at all? I got the same error on a test environment, where I am learning Dovecot (see my message sent 26/2/2015 at 14:48 CET). Nobody else has access to my server. I have not manually deleted files in the SIS partition. With a little script I ran through my mdbox m.* files, I extracted attachment hash-filenames and searched for them on the disk: 10 were missing. In some cases there is no hashes directory at all. Not even the 2nd level base path ( /attachments/a/b/hash .... stops at /attachments/a ). WHY??? Note that depending on how the IMAP client accesses the mailbox folder, you may be unable to see the whole folder at all! That's the case with Open-Xchange. Again: which tests can be run in order to confirm the behaviour and possibly a bug? Paolo Cravero
