[Dovecot] Deleted / read mails show up as new on remote imap clients
Hi, I've one problem: Mails, which I already read or deleted via my IMAP client (Thunderbird) on the same machine running the server (it runs behind DynDNS on my local machine, thanks to http://mein.homelinux.com/wiki/mailserver/) show up again if I connect via IMAP from other client computers, i.e. my notebook (Thunderbird again). As you can see from the config below I have /home/user/Maildir, not /var/mail - is that the problem? Or is that anything else, resulting in status from emails not being stored (or not being available remote) in the responding dovecot files (dovecot.index?). Some month ago I migrated from Cyrus, and if I remember correct I had some problems with migrating subscriptions, stati and so on (one had to use a special script, sorry, it's been some time now) ;-) So maybe s.th. went wrong which could be the source of this problem? Just guessing ... Ok, here's my config: root at linux:/lost+found# dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-25-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 auth_verbose = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location prefix separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster at localhost protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve sieve postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } root at linux:/lost+found# root at linux:/lost+found# dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-25-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 auth_verbose = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location prefix separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster at localhost protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve sieve postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } root at linux:/lost+found# If you need other info pls let me know.

The following imap_client_workaround setting worked for me: protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep } Kind regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820

The workaround for delay-newmail had already been set before.> Also, what version of Thunderbird do either/both of you have?10.0.12 Regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820
