Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:1.2.8-1 Severity: normal For several months now (but since before I started using iceweasel from sid), I've noticed that, from my 64-bit icedove client only, sometimes communications between icedove and dovecot will stop. Icedove will show new messages in the folder (and I have procmail delivering mail to many separate folders, which icedove watches for new messages), but when I click on the folder, the new messages cannot be displayed (none are even shown). Furthermore, old messages in the same folder cannot be displayed, although the index does continue to list them.
I think this problem also shows up when I search messages, because sometimes searches miss messages I know are there. I have one (32-bit) dovecot IMAP server and multiple clients; however, I've only seen the probem from the 64-bit version of the client. This bug sounds similar to 515569, which is also from a 64-bit client, so perhaps this is a duplication. My personal suspicion is that this is a dovecot issue, since I recall it starting after an upgrade to that package, but I don't recall whether that update also brought a new version of icedove and since the problem only shows up from the 64-bit client, I figured it's worth reporting here. I'm happy to provide any debugging assistance necessary. The above text was reported as a bug against icedove, but after I sent it in, the error occurred again, and I have some more details. The error apparently is in opening folders. I can see in the folder list that a folder contains new messages, but when I click on it, only the list of old messages is visible. In fact, the old messages are listed, but I cannot display the body contents. At this point, I can still go through folders that are already open and see messages (even very old messages), but I cannot open folders that hadn't already been seen. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dovecot-imapd depends on: ii dovecot-common 1:1.2.8-1 secure mail server that supports m ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-6 SSL shared libraries dovecot-imapd recommends no packages. dovecot-imapd suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
