Can't read Dovecot inbox!
by Arthur Dent
Hello,
I have just run yum update on my F17 server and it updated amongst other
things selinux and dovecot (and a new kernel).
I have rebooted, yet I cannot now ssh into it from outside my network, I
can't get mail from outside my network (accessing the dovecot IMAP
server running on the box) and from within my network I can access using
(for example) my Evolution client, all the folders which are held under
~/mail (and into which procmail filters stuff), but I CANNOT access the
INBOX (/var/spool/mail/mark).
In Evolution, I can see the mail that was there, but if I click on any
of the emails it refuses to display the email.
There were some of these in /var/log/dovecot:
========================================8<=============================

But the most recent attempt to login with Evolution simply produced
this:

========================================8<=============================
Which seems OK
doveconf -n shows:

Help! What do I do - I need to be able to access my mail!

Yes, you are right, sorry, the script isn't doing what I described, it's more
involved.
But my point was that manually copying the file from /tmp doesn't work either,
and one needs to dig deep in order to steal the file from the flash plugin.
Best, :-)
