Hi there, I also have this problem. I can't get the sync_server to run under 2.3.15. Here is a snippet fom our logs: Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 143423 local6.error] DBERROR: reading /var/imap/db/skipstamp, assuming the worst: No such file or directory Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 518349 local6.debug] executed Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 301543 local6.info] skiplist: checkpointed /var/imap/mailboxes.db (0 records, 144 bytes) in 0 seconds Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 301543 local6.info] skiplist: checkpointed /var/imap/annotations.db (0 records, 144 bytes) in 0 seconds Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 921384 local6.debug] accepted connection Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r syncserver[25647]: [ID 177842 local6.debug] cmdloop(): startup Oct 8 12:42:36 mailbe9r last message repeated 1 time Oct 8 12:42:38 mailbe9r master[25640]: [ID 970914 local6.error] process 25647 exited, signaled to death by 11 Oct 8 12:42:38 mailbe9r master[25640]: [ID 621917 local6.debug] service syncserver pid 25647 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally I've had a go at trying to debug the problem, but had no success.
