[Dovecot] 2.1: Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Hi!

Starting with 2.1.1 we suddely encounter quite a lot of these messages:

Mar  2 11:09:28 postamt dovecot: imap(username): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /home/a/i/username/Maildir/.A*Teens.Eink&AOQ-ufe, Spenden etc/cur/1323207735.M64829P19819.postamt.charite.de,S=5137:2,S to /home/a/i/username/Maildir/.A*Teens.Eink&AOQ-ufe, Spenden etc/cur/1323207735.M64829P19819.postamt.charite.de,S=5137:2,S

While this has (assumedly) been working with 2.0.18. Another issue
with this: This fixes ONE file, and throws an error. Repeatedly
accessing this folder fixes more files, until at some point all files
were fixed.
