Hello,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately we are facing the problem I wrote about: after a user
access mail box via web client (www.squirrel.org) he can not see emails
any more via pop3. The reason is emails moved from 'new' to 'cur'
although nothing done. Dovecot automatically moves.
Dovecot moves it because it is supposed to. Messages in "new/" are
messages
that the client has not "Seen" yet. Once they've seen them, the Maildir
specs dictate the messages be moved to cur/.
Currently with courier-imap, no matter we access via web mail or imap
client (such as ThunderBird or Outlook) users can retrive emails via
pop3. So my question is: does courier-imap behave abnormally or my
dovecot mis-configured?
I couldn't say much about how courier works, having not used it. I know
Timo and many others have investigated its behaviour, though.
I vaguely recall some Dovecot config option about how Seen is handled...
have you checked through the config file?

I understand that seen messages must be moved to 'cur' folder. My
question is: when web mail client lists messages in front page, none of
them selected yet, do they become SEEN or not?
The second question: if I disable pop3 with XMail and use dovecot for
pop3 service, can I see emails in 'cur' folder via pop3 connection?
Thank you,
