Package: dovecot
Version: 0.99.10.4-2
I am accessing my IMAP folder on my ~/Maildir using mutt via Dovecot and
I have this problem whereby mutt incorrectly reports I have new mail in a
"mailboxes" polled mailbox.
This happens all the time when I press the key bound to change mailbox.
I use courier IMAP at school, and I have not experienced this problem. A
bug with dovecot or mutt?

A > bug with dovecot or mutt?It's most likely a Dovecot bug, possibly related to somewhat broken RECENT count handling. I can't reproduce it though, do you have to tell mutt somehow to check the new mails? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I can't reproduce it though, do you have to tell > mutt somehow to check the new mails?I am expiriencing this bug, too. Using: Dovecot 0.99.8 Mutt 1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i It's a bit annoying. Generally when any folder other than INBOX (e.g. INBOX.ml.dovecot) receives new mail the mail-count for that folder will increase. Then, when I switch to that folder, read the new mail and switch back to INBOX the mail-counter will *still* show the (now invalid) count until I switch back and forth again. I'd be glad if some more testing with mutt would be done (to fix this bug and the one that makes all folders appear as if they had subfolders...). Other than these few glitches dovecot works like a charme with mutt and even my largest folders (>6000 msgs) can be opened in reasonable time (under 30s). Keep up the good work :-) just my 2c.. -mw
