Package: dovecot Version: "mailbox doesn't exist" error on all folders after upgrade Severity: important
Hello, I'm not sure if this should be filed against dovecot or dovecot-imapd. After today's package update run, which brought Dovecot to version 1:1.1.12-1, I could not access any of my custom folders in Thunderbird. The Inbox still worked, but any other folders returned "mailbox doesn't exist". (This includes folders like Sent and Trash.) I'm using mbox and as a test created a folder called 'tst'. That created both a file called 'tst' and one called '(null)tst' in ~/Mail. Likewise ~/Mail/.imap contains 'INBOX' and '(null)INBOX'. Reverting Dovecot back to 1:1.0.15-2.3 made the problem go away. I'm not sure what those '(null)'-prefixed files are or how to create them (couldn't find anything in the documentation and the changelog, but I might've overlooked something) Here's my dovecot config changes: # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: IMAPd ready. mail_privileged_group: mail mail_debug: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain cram-md5 passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot-passwd userdb: driver: passwd -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
