[Dovecot] Antwort: Re: incorrect dovecot-uidlist?

[Stephan Dietrich]

Hi,
I've made more tests with another brokes dovecot-uidlist.
cat docevot-uidlist
Thats the other file:
3 V1207893082 N7749
7748 :1232012455.M86678P12848.z43srvmailB,S=1885,W=1928
7749 :1232012463.M258778P12858.z43srvmailB,S=1885,W=1928

Now I look for eMails on the files-system. In the new/ folder there are 
these two emails:
ls new/
1232012455.M86678P12848.z43srvmailB,S=1885,W=1928
1232012463.M258778P12858.z43srvmailB,S=1885,W=1928

But in the cur/ folder there are 758 emails, too. I do not see this email 
in dovecot-uidlist. Why? The dovecot-uidlist was updated with the new two 
incoming emails but kick the old emails out of list. Why?
When I login into mailbox, the dovecot-uidlist was updated BUT the next 
UID is still the same.

The documentation should be updated, since the format changed in v1.1.
Now the next-uid header is updated only when the entire file is
rewritten. Typically updates are done only by appending a line.
