[Dovecot] Client behaviour with sieve
Hi, I have a working dovecot imap-server, with sieve. I find it odd that my mail-clients (Thunderbird 2 and 3) don't report anything that's new in the folders. What I mean is this : Postfix get's a mail and hands it over to dovecot's LDA and sieve moves it to a folder. When I log in with Thunderbird, I see new messages in my Inbox. But that message that was moved to a folder is invisible until I click on the folder. Then Thunderbird sees there are new messages in that folder and reports the number of new messages and makes the foldername bold. Is this the expected behaviour ? Or did I configure something wrong ? Thanks for any clarification. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

Hi Koenraad, What I don't like is that you posted my e-mail-adress in your message. Now it will be available to harvesters, and I will get spam via that address very soon. Please don't be offended, but remove that from your replies. Not to a wise ass, but by posting to a list, you'll get your email published anyway. There are public archives, of which the official one uses obfuscation, but I think spam crawlers can replace at with an @ just fine, and dovecot.org publishes an mbox file of the entire archive. I agree that having the address in plain text in an archive is more obvious, but you'll have to accept that it will be harvested anyway, unless you're not using the address at all... Gr.

Set that to true and it will do what you want. I've used it once, but it seemed to cause issues with IDLE; it seemed like after checking all folders, it would IDLE on which ever folder it selected last during the check and not on the folder you were currently viewing, however that could just be me ;) -Greg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
