Done that. Upgraded to 1.1.15, and set mbox_dirty_syncs: no
and mbox_lazy_writes: no and restarted. Still the same
behavior: some e-mails are still seen as been labeled by
thunderbird while the mbox file does not contain any label
for these e-mails. How can I tell dovecot to re-generate its
index files? I guess they have been wrong at some point and
now it keeps using that wrong information.
Or if anybody has any other idea...
