dovecot - Apr 2008 - Dovecot + iPhone

I want to start out by saying that Dovecot works 100% when viewing/moving 
mail (on our company mail server that I maintain) via Outlook Express and/or 
Windows Mail.

I'm having issues with moving mail via my iPhone.

If I move a message from my Inbox to another folder, the mail gets 
COPIED...not moved. So it exists in my Inbox as well as the folder I moved 
it to.

When I test on my iPhone to Yahoo's mail server, the moved process works 
100%.

Is there a Dovecot setting that needs to be tweeked or possibly another 
CentOS 5 OS setting?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

That's odd.  Can you provide a Dovecot rawlog?

http://www.dovecot.org/bugreport.html has general information on 
debugging, and http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog has more 
information on Rawlog in particular.

The iPhone does not expunge messages marked for deletion.  If you
are seeing the message still in your inbox, but with the \Deleted flag
set, that is completely normal and is a feature/failure of the iPhone.

It may be that Yahoo's mail servers automatically do an expunge upon
disconnect even if not requested by the client.

If you aren't seeing the \Deleted flag on the Inbox copy, then there
may be some other issue at work, but it all works fine with our
installation of 1.1rc4.
