"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: error"
This is the error that Thunderbird 2 [2.0.0.23] reported when I tried to check my email this morning. Did some digging and found that the problem is with the mbox format on the server. Some tweaking yesterday for mail server migration must have messed this one up. I tailed /var/log/maillog on the mail server and watched for errors. I saw:
File isn't in mbox format: /var/mail/username
Edited /var/spool/mail/username and got rid of 2 garbage lines at the top of the file. Restarted postfix and dovecot for good measure and fired Thunderbird back up. No more errors and it looks like all my email is there.
