2 or 3 customers have reported that they are having problems downloading their mail via. POP3. I have attached the rawlogs of their transactions and the UID list at the time. Is this because I am using an incompatible UID format or is something else at fault?
Deleting the UID list and indexes fixes the problem. I am using Test72.Sounds a bit like the Thunderbird problem.. ..
Sounds like it, but that client was Outlook 2003, and I have had a client using entourage with the same problem last week, it isn't a very common problem.
Outlook 2003 (and I suppose Entourage too) doesn't handle Dovecot's default POP3 UIDLs well. You should probably change them if you can. That may have caused this bug as well.
Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format
which is
Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a
good
idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe.
I was thinking of doing that and I'm sure there is a very good reason why I didn't. Sod the users if they want to store mail they should use IMAP, change of UID time I think. Quick question though, will a UID format change break anything considering there are 6000 mailboxes in use (apart from mail storing users)?
