Wow. Yeah, *some*thing's changed recently to cause this. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a recent Thunderbird upgrade that's triggering it, as it's been 2-3 weeks since my last dovecot upgrade. I'll take a look at that thread. > What distribution and kernel version are you using? Arch Linux, kernel 2.6.27.8 Thanks, DR
