We've been using an imap(s) dovecot server for a while on an ubuntu 8.04.2 and we noted that tags set by thunderbird ("important", "to do", etc.) are almost always lost, i.e., when connecting to the same imap account from another machine, the tags are not there anymore... this always happens for the Inbox, and seldomly for other imap folders... anyone else experiencing this?
Are you using mbox files? Sounds like the same problem as "Custom flags in v1.0.15" a few days ago. Upgrading to v1.1 fixed that. Or setting mbox_lazy_writes=no.
Hi there
I checked in our dovecot.conf and there was
#mbox_lazy_writes=yes
i.e., it was commented, and probably defaults to yes. I changed it into
mbox_lazy_writes=no
restarted dovecot, and did a quick test with two machines, and it looks like it's working now! :-)
I want to do some other tests and then get back to you
thanks a lot for now :-) cheers Lorenzo
