    Hello everyone,

    I'm getting the error below for 2 different users on my system of 150+
    users in Dovecot:

    Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3-login: Login: cah [::ffff:172.16.3.107]
    Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file
    /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected
    Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file
    /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected
    Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error
    occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2005-09-12
    09:32:49]

    I've read in the archives that it's the blank line at the beginning of
    the mbox file (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-January/002790.html),
    and once deleted everything works fine.

    The thing is, it keeps happening and I can't figure out why. Email
    clients that send mail to these accounts are the latest Outlook
    Express. As I said, I have 150+ users on the same system and they are
    fine.

    I'm not sure if protocol makes a difference, but we are using POP3 only.

    Any ideas what I can do to fix/prevent/correct this either
    programatically or with a patch of some sort?

    Is this actively being worked on?

    I'm running FC4 with dovecot-0.99.14-4.fc4.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Kevin
