[Dovecot] entourage + dovecot bug?

[Amelia A Lewis]

I haven't tried Entourage, but an upgrade of dovecot to 0.99.10.2, and of
sylpheed to 0.9.7, has resulted in very strange behavior for me: on access,
however many items are in a mailbox (maildir), only one (or sometimes 2) is
shown (sylpheed updates the numbe available).  The rest aren't purged; they
just aren't available.  Other mail clients tested (mutt,
mozilla-thunderbird) do not show the same behavior.  But sylpheed is
perfectly happy with two other dovecots (also over maildir; very similar
setups in general) (both 0.99.10, both debian i386, one -10, one -9).

I am not able to isolate the problem either to the client or the server. 
For both, I deleted existing configuration information, and created it anew. 
For dovecot, I also deleted all the imap* files throughout the maildir tree. 
It's rather frustrating ....

Just point of information, since there seem to be interaction issues with
particular clients, versus this version of dovecot.
