Hi all, I've been using dovecot as our internal mail server for quite some time. It works very well. Each of our mailboxes have 1000+ messages (some have more than 4-5000 messages). I have recently started using virtual folders and, using an adaptation of an example script in the dovecot site (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual), to have a virtual folder changed to act as inbox. All of my email is delivered in some folder other than the real inbox via sieve scripts. My inbox is, therefore, a virtual folder, which only displays the unread emails on all the folders in the account. Everything works fine *except* that, when I mark an email as read or when I open an email directly on the inbox, it does not disappear from the inbox (as it should since it is not unread after being open or being marked as read). I'm not sure if this is a bug, a "feature", or a misconfiguration.... :) I'm using dovecot 1.2.13 on Debian Etch (installed using the backports repository). Attached is the file with the output of "dovecot -n", the script for the virtual folder and the custom login script to change the virtual folder to act as the inbox. I'm using Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows XP SP3 as the main mail client and also using an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) to access the same account. Regards, -- Anto'nio Henrique A.

Got the same "problem" with thunderbird... thunderbird wants to be intelligent and caches information... the server would remove the message, but thunderbird says "hey it was not me so i don't anything about moving" and reads the message from its cache... close thunderbird, delete the imapmail folder in your profile, and restart thunderbird => mail is gone... and if you find a way to turn off this fu***ing caching of thunderbird it would be nice to tell it to me... caching sucks with imap and i don't find any option to turn it off... bye tobi Am 02.11.2010 22:50, schrieb Antonio Henrique Oliveira:> Hi all, > > I've been using dovecot as our internal mail server for quite some time.

Otherwise if the message was immediately removed when marked as read, you wouldn't even have a chance to read it before it got removed.
