dovecot mbox format

[pewi]

Hi all,
our version of ox-se is:
Version : 6.14.0 Rev6 ( 2009-12-01 11:10:02 )

We are using an external imap-server with dovecot version 1.1.14
and the mailbox-format is mbox.

When I try to open the Inbox, I'm getting the follwing error Message:

SEVERE: MSG-1025 Category=8 Message=A command to mail server failed. Server response: A51 NO Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file. exceptionID=663433172-5310

Please give me a hint, what exactly is going wrong?

thanks a lot,

Hi Peter,

those "NO" prefixes show that the error message is triggered by the IMAP server. Could you also check dovecot's logfile?

Thanks

Hi Martin,
thank you, for responding me!
Our postmaster says, there are no error-messages in the logs of the imap-server,
everything seems to work fine.
However, the error message in ox-webmail still appears.

Is there a way to switch on debug mode for the ox-webmail, to see what's going wrong?

Thanks,
peter

Hi,

of course - you can enable the debug log of OX6, but note that this one is kind of a i/o benchmark regarding the log file

Check file-logging.properties and set the topmost setting to "DEBUG".

Hello, related to the problem in this thread, is there an option in ox-webmail to set "use only subscribed folders"? Maybe this could solve our problem.

Thanks again
peter

Hi Peter,

you can (un)subscribe folder by performing a right-click on "INBOX" and select "Subscribe folders" but i am not sure if this will solve the issue. The error message is produced by the IMAP Server and it's very likely that it occurs on any access to the mailbox despite the used folders.

Greetings
