[Dovecot] MUA notifications on new mail in a new folder?
If deliver gets run with a non-root userid like this: < | deliver -m path/to/NEWmaildir >, I wonder, is a connected IMAP MUA automatically notified, that the new message has arrived in the new folder? As I see from some experiments with Thunderbird, it has no problems with immediate notifications of new mail in previously existing folders, however, it has problems with the case of new folder. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

But this is more of a client and/or IMAP protocol problem. Nothing Dovecot can do about it.
