On Friday night, we upgraded our imapd server's hardware & OS to Solaris 10 from Solaris 8. Both machines are running UW imap 2007f. We recompiled it on the new machine.

As our users come back, we're seeing some log messages

Jan 27 10:38:40 HHHHH imapd[8566]: [ID 273760 mail.alert] Fatal error user=XXXXXX host=XXXXXXX.AI.SRI.COM [NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN] mbx=/path/to/a/mail/folder: impossible empty keyword Jan 27 10:38:40 HHHHH imapd[8566]: [ID 746981 mail.alert] IMAP toolkit crash: impossible empty keyword

I don't yet know how many mail folders are impacted by this. I don't know what triggers these errors (no one has complained yet)

I see this error message in mix.c (our mail is stored as mix mail folders), but I haven't yet looked to see what the code is doing (but I will). If someone else has run into this issue and can shed any light, please let me know.

I wouldn't even bother trying to dig into the UW imap code. Go get Mark's
"Panda" kit and try that first. I know that there were a number of low-level
warts in the UW code that Mark fixed in his Panda kit that probably aren't going
to be fixed in the UW distro and I know that there's been at least one
addtional patch added to the current Panda kit after Mark's death.
