Also do you see anything in error logs? If you're using the default pop3_uidl_format it'll rely on IMAP UIDs to stay the same, and I guess it's possible that due to some other problem they change (that should be logged as an error/warning though). You could try setting pop3_uidl_format=%f, but it will cause everyone to redownload mails. With newer Dovecot versions you could set pop3_save_uidl=yes and when you think everyone's downloaded mails once you can safely change the pop3_uidl_format.

What webmail is this? It's Horde webmail. Webmail does pop. Yahoo and Gmail do it too. When I first set up the server, it did it on first login - obviously because the server had changed but it's doing it once a week now (and in fact, it did it twice today). It's not fatal, no one will die. It is a PITA though. Simon
[Dovecot] Mails repopping
HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the webmail client repop this account 4 times (there are about 230 mails in the account). Is there a setting I need to tighten to prevent/remedy this? I have no idea if it's happening on other accounts, but this is one that I see. The format is maildir. There has been no changes to the webmail client. Thanks. Simon
