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:

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

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

Hmm..I *think* I've sorted it out. It seems to have been one corrupted
email in the Inbox. Deleting that meant that I can now read mail as
normal.
Sorry for the noise (but I'm still keeping a close eye on things...)
