NethServer Version: 7.9.2009
I get several error messages:
imap(yyy@xxx): Error: /var/lib/nethserver/vmailyyy@xxx/Maildir/shared/testpostfach@politik.lokal/.INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent
How to fix these?

Here are some workarounds:
Supposedly fixed in v2.3.8 (released for CentOS 8, not released for CentOS 7)
When dovecot.index.pvt is empty, an unnecessary error is logged:
Error: …/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
Other/related causes and workarounds:

I have tons of such errors. Unfortunately, the overview is completely lost in such spam.

I think @mrmarkuz means these ones:
dovecot.index.pvt.reset
When deleting a public maildir in filesystem (rm -rf …) and copying
Then the following error appears:
Error: /var/vmail/users/dr/.public-indexes/folder1/folder2/dovecot.index.pvt
This happens because the index.pvt is no longer valid, because you rm -rf’ed things.
UserA share XXXXX folder with UserB, if XXXXX folder is new (never touched) and empty every time UserB looks in that folder, an error appears in log file. If UserA copy a mail in XXXXX folder, no more errors. If UserA (or UserB) delete all mails in XXXXX folder (the folder is empty again), no more errors.
if the folder is empty, but not new (p.e. UserA has already copied and deleted mails in that folder) error is logged only once.
The log message appears for empty “public” folders.
and this one:
You could try to move the dovecot.index.pvt file to an other folder. It should regenerate itself.
Have a look at the log again, if it still appears.

I have tons of log messages:
The file does not exist however and the directoy only contains a file dovecot.index.pvt.log
How to solve this
BTW: What is the use of the public spam folder, which is read only and empty?

Install mlocate, then do updatedb, try to find locate dovecot.index.pvt you need to get one per user folder email

All errors are in folders under “shared” or “public”. Also I deleted a user, who shared the mailbox without another one, so that there are folders of the deleted user under shared.
How to tidy this up? Actually Nethserver should not leave that many garbage after deletion of users. Especially when cannot handle these non-deleted files without massive errors in the logs.
Can I just delete these folders?

If you’re willing to stray away from upstream Index of /ce-2.3.19/centos/7/RPMS/x86_64/ has latest build for COS7, runs fine but needs some config mods.
