dovecot - Mar 2012 - RECENT status always 0

Hello,

we are using dovecot 2.0.13 with maildir++ (we migrated away from 
courrier just a few months ago) and the RECENT status doesn't seem to be 
working:

. STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES UNSEEN RECENT)
* STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 35106 RECENT 0 UNSEEN 10)

then 2 minutes later:

. STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES UNSEEN RECENT)
* STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 35106 RECENT 0 UNSEEN 11)

How can the UNSEEN count change without the RECENT count changing 
accordingly?

Thanks in advance,

Arnaud

If any client has the INBOX opened, the recent count for other connections stays
at 0. I guess you're expecting recent flags to work differently than how
IMAP RFC specifies them. (It's entirely possible that Courier implemented
them in the wrong way.)
