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…
