And you have already been told the answer. mail_log plugin is your friend here. Configure it to log at least "delete undelete expunge" events to log if that outlook deletes the mail. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/plugins/mail_event_logging/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/plugins/mail_event_logging/> also if you want to check if that outlook does read the mail (ie. mail gets moved from new to cur) you need to configure imap_logout_format and pop3_logout_format to show number of mails fetched. see: https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/> Sami
