We are currently running dovecot-1.0.10 on Solaris 10 x86.
Several users has noticed that they get different emails when using pop
vs using IMAP. When I check a user's home directory, I find the
following situation:
/nfs/mail/1/1/hiro.11/mail/:
drwx------ 6 176785 1000 512 Mar 21 07:53 .

I suspect that is less than ideal. What exactly is creating these
folders, and how do we stop it? I can clean it up ok (which I'd rather
do as one maintenance) but only once I know it wont happen again.
Should also mention that we have a mbox convert script running for a
couple of months, to convert their old mail. Then it will be removed:
convert_mail =
mbox:/export/mbox/migrate/%u:INBOX=/export/mbox/migrate/%u/%u:INDEX=Maildir:%h/mail/
Should also mention, one server in the cluster was incorrectly running
version dovecot-1.0.2 (boy was that fun to track down).
