[Dovecot] 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?

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.> Is there a bug known or do i something wrong?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.

It's buggy, and it's been fixed recently: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8913032&forum_id=43910 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
