dovecot - Jan 2006 - Dovecot don't recognise new messages in maildir /new

Hi,

i'm google for it and i searched the archives, but i can't find the
problem i have or a hint for a solution.

I'm using Postfix as MTA, the new messages deliver by postfix to the
maildir:
/mail/domain.tld/userpart/new/

Dovecot sometimes show the new mails directly (it's very unusual) but mostly
it needs for an hour that dovecot recognize the new messages.

Reconnecting of the client don't help. Tested with Thunderbird,
Sylpheed-Claws, mutt and muttng.

Is there a bug known or do i something wrong?

Does /mail/domain.tld/userpart/new/ have [new|cur|tmp]  
subdirectories, please?

I would normally expect to tell Postfix to deliver to "/path/to/ 
maildir/" (note trailing slash - I think this is used to indicate  
delivery to a maildir rather than a mbox) and have Postfix sort out  
the rest. The "new" bit in the end is normally a maildir subfolder  
and your IMAP server will move read messages from "/path/to/maildir/ 
new/" to "/path/to/maildir/cur/" - because the [new|cur|tmp]  
subdirectories are standard within the maildir structure you don't  
need to mention them in any of your configuration files.

Well, you could document the problem better. Examples of  
configurations files and an `ls -l` showing the full path to a  
problem email message might very well help.

Stroller.

Do you use JFS? It's buggy, and it's been fixed recently:
