I am facing a really strange issue with Horde/Imp on mobile devices.
A quick background:
The setup is:
Horde 5.2.21
Lighttpd 1.4.59
PHP 7.3.10
Dovecot 2.3.7.2
Exim 4.92.2
This install has been running for years, and as far as I can think
nothing has been updated or reconfigured recently - at least not in
the last few weeks.
In the last few days, one of the users has started to experience
some emails not downloading on his mobile devices - for no
explainable reason.
1. The emails are showing up fine over IMAP in Thuderbird.
2. The mobile devices with problems are two iPhones, one iPad, and I
just tested it in Bluemail on an Android phone.
3. It isn't always the same messages - if I remove and re-create the
accounts, I get a different random selection of messages downloaded,
after which the sync stops. For example I might have most messages
from today, then yesterday and the day before missing, then some
messages from the day before. There is nothing logical about it.
I've checked everywhere I can think of:
1. I've forced resyncing of mailboxes in Dovecot (although I don't
think the problem is there, as all messages show properly in
Thunderbird
2. I've changed email passwords
3. I've deleted and re-added email accounts on the iPhone
4. I've hard-reset the iPhones, to try to clear the email cache
5. I've configured the email accounts on an Android phone - still
same issues
6. I've checked Horde ActiveSync error logs - aside from errors
about duplicate sync keys, there doesn't seem to be anything else
there.
7. I've tried downloading emails over internal wifi and over 4G
8. I've changed sync span on mobiles between 1 day, 3 days, 1 week,
1 month - the same random behaviour persists
This is happening just to this user, who has two email accounts
configured on two iPhones and one iPad. All other 10 users are fine.
Everyone works off the same server, receiving email on iPhones.
I've spent 6 hours on this and frankly I can't make any sense of it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I'd really need to see a sync log and imap debug log to make an
educated guess as to what might be happening. Some things that might
be related, off the top of my head:
* Is this user's prefs set to move deleted messages to Trash or mark
them as deleted?
* Some memory issue or timeout being hit due a large number/size of
messages?
* Unlikely, since you say it happens to random messages, but might
be some issue with the strategy we use to determine message changes
(for Dovecot this would probably be MODSEQ based).
If you can get me a copy of the sync log for this user I might be
able to help narrow down the issue. Feel free to mail me directly
mrubi...@horde.org.
Just checking if you got my email with the logs. The phone is still
syncing the emails completely erratically. The only error I keep on
seeing in the logs is:
2021-09-16T13:36:21+01:00 ERR: HORDE SQL QUERY FAILED:
SQLSTATE[23505]: Unique violation: 7 ERROR: duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "horde_activesync_state_pkey"
Or any other suggestions I could try? Thank you in advance

The separate accounts are not using the same synckey, though I can see
why you might have thought so. The first number in the log entry is the
process id of the request. Since the same log is being used for multiple
accounts on the same device, you need to make sure you are looking at
the log entries from the correct request. The entries are interspersed
since they requests and responses from different accounts can happen
asynchronously.
That being said, the issue has something to do with data being sent in
one of the sync responses. That's why you are seeing a log of the
duplicate key value errors. The device isn't accepting (or perhaps
didn't receive) the response, so it's requesting the same set of changes
again (by using the same synckey). It's really hard to say what, if
anything, the device doesn't like about that response, but if I had to
take a wild guess I would say it has something to do with the emoji
characters in the subject line.
Those characters seem to work fine for me on an android device. I don't
have an iOS device handy right now for testing, but I can get access to
one. When I can, I'll see if I can find anything more out. In the
meantime, do other iOS devices on your server receive those types of
subjects without issue?
Just an update - it's been 3 days since I connected only one device to
the email account - and the problem persists. So it seems having several
devices connected to the same account is not the cause. I will try and
take a closer look at the emoji characters possibility - maybe something
starts to make sense there. Thank you for the suggestion!
