Well, it looks like at least Thunderbird v3.1.2 is buggy then. Are there any non-buggy clients anyway ...? Evolution (>=2.30.2) with the imapx back end gets it right. I know this because I fixed it myself a few weeks ago.
Well, David, if evolution was not such an instable beast... we did few evaluations from openSuSE10.3 up to 11.2 recently, and it was a no-go, except for basic imap usage. As soon as more connectors/plugins are involved, it is a nightmare. Plus, we unfortunately want it also on Win32 Platform. I just wish it had the plugin system of TB and so many usable plugins. As of TB2, evolution looked more sexy, eye-candy, compared with TB3+lightning not anymore, maybe except for the addressbook which is rather weak in TB.
Integration with a groupware is also an important issue: few years ago, we failed getting it work properly with scalix11, now there is no chance to get it work with open-xchange 6.x - and nobody cares, it seems like the evolution development is stalled for a couple of years.
So for groupware usage in our case, there are 3 more clients left: TB (seems to be the best), kmail (also few stability issues) and outlook (but that one does not really work with IMAP...). One would not expect it is in 2010 still so hard to put together a good, opensource mail/groupware system... but we are very close now.
