[Dovecot] Unread mail problem

[Mark Lidstone]

Hi Clinton,
 
I've come across the same problem several times before - Outlook keeps
messing up it's list of seen UIDLs.  Try using Thunderbird instead.  I
moved a load of people in our company to Thunderbird because they kept
having that problem and it's not happened for them since.
 
As a matter of interest - I've seen both Outlook and Outlook Express do
this on dovecot, mercury/32 and Exchange (when using pop3 for pickup).
 
I hope this helps,

	Okay, here is the set up. I have Outlook set up to keep mail on
the server for 5 days. At some point I started downloading all my mail
that was on the server over and over again, even though I already have
the mail. The weird thing is that it did not download all the mail, just
a few. For example it would download 6 messages, then 18, then 12, etc!
After I tried it a few times I had 50 of the same message in Outlook?

	 

	A small fix, but I do not want to so this ever time

	 

	If I unclick save on server and then check my mail, it will
delete all the mail in my mail box. Then I reclick the leave on server
for 5 days and it will work fine! 

	 

	Any idea what is going on?
