I stopped running uw-imap that a long time ago because of similar issues (data corruption especially under high load) and also because of a series of security issues that happened one after another (that I got sick of dealing with/patching). Do you have an example of the corruption? IIRC procmail version 3.21 would sometimes eat the 'F' from a 'From ' line in mbox file (but I think recent Mac OS X versions ship with procmail 3.22). > While not impossible, I cannot really believe that my email client (KDE's > kmail) does that while checking the account (also, I should have noticed > similar corruption in my email archives, which are imap folders accessed > through that same server. dovecot works really well as an imap server (well enough that I haven't had to switch from mbox files to something else). If it's only happening to your INBOX, though, you may have an lda issue instead of an IMAP server issue. -- Daniel J.
