Right, stop me if I am wrong here as I am no way near an expert on IMAP. As far as I can tell after the EXPUNGE results dovecot gives an EXISTS result, now from what I am observing dovecot is saying the number of mails that were available before the expunge in the exists result after the expunge. OE gets confused by this and invents the missing ones...phew!
Now tell me I'm talking bollox or something :)

This may be a problem with my config file but I am finding that customers (and more importantly my boss) that are using outlook express when using test66/67 (upgraded from test60 + from address patch) are having message reappear after being fully deleted (not just marked) but are unreadable, sometimes blank headers appear too but again no message.
Hmm. And nothing in log file? Were the messages expunged recently (less than an hour ago) or did some older messages also appear? Only OE-related thing that I can think of is this change:
2005-03-14 21:17 Timo Sirainen tss@iki.fi
- dovecot-example.conf, src/imap/cmd-fetch.c, src/imap/common.h, src/imap/imap-sync.c, src/imap/main.c, src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h, src/lib-storage/index/index-sync.c: Renamed oe6-fetch-no-newmail workaround to delay-newmail and changed it to work more like the name says: only newmail notifications are skipped and not only for FETCH command.
But that shouldn't be making expunged mails visible.. Nothing should actually. Unless new messages are getting UIDs from old mails (there is/was a bug like that with mbox, but not maildir AFAIK).
If anyone can find a way to reproduce this I'd like to know.
