Subject: [TriLUG] Squirrelmail and Dovecot problem

I have a user with a strange problem with squirrelmail and dovecot. The error he gets is in his browser is:

ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.
Query: EXAMINE "INBOX"

and what I see in the mail.err log is

Sep 18 14:59:24 chemdept dovecot: imap(username): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 106 (mbox_sync_headers_add_space): assertion failed: (start_pos < data_size) Sep 18 14:59:24 chemdept dovecot: child 30287 (imap) killed with signal 6

I searched google and the only think I found suggested copying the mbox file to a new file, delete the old and rename the new. I tried this with his mail spool file and the mbox file in his home directory but had no luck -- the problem persists. He can access his mail with Eudora without any problem, it's just squirrelmail.

What about INBOX.* files in the users account?  Are there
any? Would dovecot have permissions to create/write them?

There is an mbox file with permissions 644. I've made it 666 to see if that makes a difference.
