But when I deleted them, pretty quickly they got corrupted again.I have now compiled dovecot using a backported fixed flex, to see if that makes the corruption stop occurring.Do you have any information on whether this fixes things? It sounds like this is a pretty serious problem (data corruption), so I'm raising the severity of this bug.
As mentioned in another post, it unfortunately did not fix things. So I now no longer believe in my earlier "patch" being any good.
Attached is a corruption discovered this morning, and my hand-crafted corection that pleased offlineimap. They are gzipped simply to convince mutt that they shouldn't be treated as ascii (I am not familar with educating mutt manually).
I suspect that even if Timos fix in 1.1 might help if backported to 1.0.15, it really is coverering over some deeper problem: Why does the corruption occur in the first place?
