So I am currently running dovecot as a mail delivery agent, and a little while ago it all strangely stopped working (I think this may have been about the time I ran out of space on my server - since resolved). When I telnet into the server and List the mail messages I get:
LIST
+OK 0 messages:
.
But when I look in /var/mail/ mail is listed and if I type in 'mail' I get a list of unread messages, how come this list is not showing in telnet?
I found a single post where someone is encountering a similar problem here
Where they recommend:
After I deleted the dovecot.index file, all messages are available and everything works as expected.everything works as expected.
However, this had no effect for me.
