Since POP3 supports only downloading mails, I guess this copying operation was the same as if you simply had downloaded the mails. > dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(mich...@domain.net): Mailbox init > failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800 Do you see another error message? This isn't actually error (see the Info: line there). The error message should be written either before that line, or perhaps in another log file entirely. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging > Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, Probably the messages were deleted by the previous download? This error message doesn't cause messages to be deleted. > I have resolved that deleting all the dovecot files into the mailbox, so: > > dovecot-uidlist > dovecot.index > dovecot.index.cache > dovecot.index.log Deleting only the dovecot.index* files would probably have been enough. > Then, all restarted to works normally, but...the most bad thing is... > the lost mails! You mean that all the 250 mails weren't copied, or they were all copied but also deleted?
