Two macs running mail.app, one iPhone. Both have 6 or 7 accounts, the two biggest accounts talk to a Dovecot server (box w/about 40K msgs) and a Courier server (about 20K msgs). No bizarre issues yet. C Thank On Oct 1, 2009, at 6:57 AM, Frank Bonnet wrote: Hello I have an Apple computer user who has great problems using IMAP and Dovecot.

No. Axel PS: Perhaps could you tell us a bit more (client and server side), so that really helpful answers may be provided. ;-) Well OK If he try to read some messages with apple mail client some messages seems duplicated in several IMAP folders If I read those messages with mutt onto the server everything is clean It sounds like your local caches in Mac Mail are confused if everything looks fine in Mutt. Try selecting a folder with duplicate messages and then hit Mailbox > Rebuild. That should delete the local cache for that folder and re-download all those messages, which should remove duplicates. Did you recently switch from a different IMAP server to dovecot? The "double messages" problem usually happens when IMAP UIDs change on the server, and usually happens when you switch to dovecot from something else. We recently migrated from courier to dovecot and had to convert everyone's UIDs from courier to dovecot to ensure people didn't get double messages. Of course, I have seen double messages in Mac Mail happen without a migration and it usually relates to a quota (filesystem, not IMAP quota) problem where clients try to delete a message and there's no room left to move it to the Trash folder. In that case you usually need to up the quota and rebuild that folder's local cache. -David Warden

It has some problems when listing/subscribing to several namespaces, but I did not encounter the problem you describe. Maybe you can provide more details, what Mail.app, 'dovecot -n'? Regards Thomas
