[Dovecot] Large mbox files.

[Kevin Warren]

I'm very sorry if this is a faq.  I've spent considerable time reading
documentation and doing Google searches to no avail...and the mailing list
archive isn't searchable as far as I can tell.

Anyway, the question:  When I try to open a large mbox file from Squirrel Mail I
receive the following Dovecot error:

Jun 23 10:47:55 jetta dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(kevin): file
mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 400 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): ass
ertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space)
Jun 23 10:47:56 jetta dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 28535 (imap) killed
with signal 6


Not sure what other information you will need. (There's no posting guideline for
the mailing list)  Here's my guess:

Dovecot version:  1.0.beta9
OS version:  Solaris x86 v10

I'm guessing a listing of non-default values in dovecot.conf would be useful
too:

$ grep -vE "^ *#" dovecot.conf | grep -E "^ *[a-z\}]"

ssl_listen = *:993
first_valid_uid = 100
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
}
protocol lda {
  postmaster_address = postmaster at example.com
}
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb pam {
  }
  userdb passwd {
  }
  user = root
}
plugin {
}
