We've been using an imap(s) dovecot server for a while on an ubuntu
8.04.2 and we noted that tags set by thunderbird ("important",
"to do",
etc.) are almost always lost, i.e., when connecting to the same imap
account from another machine, the tags are not there anymore... this
always happens for the Inbox, and seldomly for other imap folders...
anyone else experiencing this?
Note that the same problem does not arise with other imap server accounts...
thanks in advance
Lorenzo

So, will need for you to provide some actual details that might give a hint as to the problem. I think I recall some problems like these with certain versions of dovecot...

Sounds like the same problem as "Custom flags in v1.0.15" a few days ago. Upgrading to v1.1 fixed that. Or setting mbox_lazy_writes=no.
