It's not an OE problem, although one of my users does use that (couldn't affect other users could it?). I've verified that Cyrus is announcing messages as recent when they have already been seen by telnetting to the IMAP port and doing stuff by hand. I can't intentionally reproduce it, but I have gotten lucky once or twice. -Bitt

Yes, unfortunately I have seen (and still see) this quite a lot with my setup 2.0.11 on Linux. Unfortunately, no answers have been forthcoming on the list.

Re: Recentness algorithm
If you're using Outlook Express as a mail client then this is a known problem with Outlook Express. You might want to change the folder synchronization settings to none if you want to prevent this behaviour.

Recentness algorithm
Lately, I've noticed that things that my mail client has seen before get marked as recent again. That is, I'll change folders to something else and come back to my INBOX and there will be a number of messages that are still marked as recent. I can't intentionally reproduce the problem, but I have seen it a number of times, and it doesn't seem to depend on whether I've read the mail or not or anything else I can determine. This is running 2.0.11 (with the various patches) on OpenBSD 2.8. (Maybe its an mmap problem?) Anyone seen the same problem or have any ideas? -Bitt
