[Dovecot] New mail not appearing consistently in Outlook 2003

[Karl von Randow]

Thanks I'll try to track that option down. The missing new mail doesn't
appear if I press Send & Receive, is the control-m the same? I will try it.

Outlook can actually log IMAP sessions as well (it's on one of the myriad
config pages somewhere, and the file is saved as a text one in %sysdir% from
memory. May help you to narrow down what's going on.

My Outlook issue is that new mail doesn't appear straightaway in the
different folders, only when you click on them to make the active.
Except Outlook 2007 doesn't do this in a consistent fashion...
sometimes it seems to refresh the folder content.

Do you get the mail if you press Ctrl-M to send/receive, btw?
