Greetings, I have a computer on which I ran Fedora 14 x86_64 and dovecot to keep a local imap copy of all my email, in maildir format. One week ago the hard disk broke, so I bought a new one, reinstalled Fedora 14 x86_64 with all the updates and copied all my maildirs back to the disk from backups. I had ran yum update just a few days before the crash, so the dovecot version and package is the same or almost the same. Since the reinstall, however, I've been unable use dovecot to access those maildirs. All the details and error messages are in this post I immediately sent to the dovecot mailing list, so I won't repeat them here: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg38562.html since I've got no help yet there, and since there may be some reason (see next phrase) external to dovecot, I'm trying here. As far as I can tell, the only difference between this and the previous install _may_ be the file system. This time I let the installer go with ext4. I honestly don't remember what kind of file system was being used on the crashed disk, but it may have been ext3. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
