Email client download messages on each startup

  • First of all, I don't think it's an i-mscp related problem because the problem is only on one of the servers, the rest are working perfectly.
    If you can help me with an advice to fix it, I'll apreciate it very much.


    The problem is that, each time the email client (Thunderbird, Outlook) is opened, every email in the account is downloaded. Client is configured with IMAP. Weird is that the problem apeared after upgrading from i-mscp 1.3.1 to 1.3.5.
    I searched the web and I found that dovecot has some index files in each email account folder. Those files can be sometimes corupted and the problem appeared.
    I followed the recomandation to fix it by deleting those files with dovecot stoped and after, start over dovecot. Indeed, dovecot rebuild those files but the problem is still there.


    Thank you.

    This is a bug which will be addressed in next release. On each update, the courier to dovecot migration script is run, meaning that the uid files are re-created and the side effect is that the mail client is downloading all mails again.... This bug has been introduced in version 1.3.2 with the fix for the #IP-1621 issue...
