<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Gregory,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I recently been testing Dovecot (the
RPM version was 1.0-0_4_stable20050221.rh9.at) on of our RedHat9 servers
using Maildirs. I am experiencing problem with Thunderbird 1.0 and 1.5
with message headers getting mixed up (i.e. you click on the message header
in the list pane and it displays the message body of the next email in
the list). </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However when using Outlook Express (yes
I have to admit I used it for testing!!) and Squirrelmail the messages
are displayed correctly, which suggest it maybe a bug in Thunderbird. Interestingly
I found a bugzilla report which looks like the same issue at:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209561</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am gonna try switching back to mbox
on the server and see if this fixes the problem (although I'd really like
Maildir to work as its so much faster)</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>We've been putting 1.0 Beta 3 through the paces on
our test system, and one <br>
of our users pointed out to me that Thunderbird's "labels" behave
strangely <br>
on the new server. In fact, there used to be a header added to the
message <br>
via IMAP when Thunderbird placed a label on a message, but as of the switch
<br>
from 0.99.11 to 1.0beta3, this label header is no longer placed in the
message.<br>
<br>
Specifically, Thunderbird adds the "X-Keyword: $LabelN" header
when you add <br>
a label to the message in tbird, where "N" is [1-9]. This
works on dovecot <br>
0.99.11 (RHEL4), but not on 1.0beta3. 1.0b3 doesn't seem to add this
header <br>
at all, but rather seems to keep this information somewhere else. Perhaps
<br>
in the .imap indexes?<br>
<br>
We're using mbox stores on the server. This was tested with both
<br>
Thunderbird 1.0.7 (most widely deployed) and Thunderbird 1.5.<br>
<br>
Aditionally, we've found that if the .imap index directories are removed,
<br>
all the Thunderbird labels on messages seem to get "confused",
too. I.e., <br>
if the user uses multiple machines throughout the day, changes in one client
<br>
may not be reflected in another, when the user moves to a different system.<br>
<br>
I'm still trying to get more details from the users, but have been doing
<br>
preliminary testing that verifies this. One of the users complaining
about <br>
this is my manager, who makes extensive use of Thunderbird's "Label"
<br>
feature, so he's a bit nervous. :\<br>
<br>
Another thing we've noticed is the potential for bad behavior if a use
<br>
switches from the old dovecot to the new dovecot, which seems to be resolved
<br>
if the .imap indexes are removed...<br>
<br>
Let me know what other information is needed, and I'll do my best to collect
it.<br>
