Description: | |
Today I encountered an unknown issue to me with my Imap server | |
dovecot. In roundcube mail web client, my Inbox folder appeared empty | |
after being reading a mail. My Android mail client K9-Mail was | |
displaying "IOException:readStringUnti...." when trying to synchronize | |
this folder. | |
I solved it easily by connecting to my server with SSH, cd-ing into | |
the maildir directory and in the Inbox folder, renamed | |
**dovecot.index.log** to **dovecot.index.log.bak** (you can remove it | |
if it fix the problem). | |
And now, mails are back. This is the very first time I have a problem | |
of this kind with dovecot... | |
