i have a annoying problem with dovecot after updating to 1.1.14.
Dovecot seems to empty all cur/ and new/ Folders in the Maildir of a particular user several times a day (3 times so far). It leaves only unread messages in their place. All Index-Files are getting updated and reflect the "empty"-State of the Mailbox.
I think dovecot is just doing what it is told by the client...
This is the best explanation, because only one user out of 10 is affected.
Maybe it was a little bit premature to blame dovecot. But it happend the first time directly after upgrading dovecot. So one tends to blame the variable which has changed in the equation :).
Clients: Thunderbird, Mail.app both IMAP only
A wild shot is Thunderbird (if I remember correctly) has an remove read messages either after some many minutes or when closing it. OOPS! There it is. Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Clean up" (Expunge") Inbox on Exit
Thunderbird also has what is called a 'Retention Policy' that you can set *on each folder* ('right-click-on-folder > Properties > Retention Policy') that overrides the per account global setting ('Tools > Account Settings > YourAccount > Offline and Disk Space > Disk Space'...
I will take a look into that.

Alex
