They get moved to cur/ when the \Recent flag gets cleared.
thunderbird does not download this mails again ( good ), but it doesnt delete them from maildir new ever( bad ) , so the whole leave copy and delete after x days function pop3 is not working
What if that mailbox was an IMAP mailbox called "All mails" and user opened it, should that clear the \Recent flags from all the mailboxes? I'm not entirely sure what the right answer should be, but I'm thinking probably no.. Especially since such mailbox is used by some webmails to implement "search in all mailboxes".
nobody reported imap problems if users use both pop3 ( with stay mails on the server ) and imap mails get to cur wtih seen flag ( as far i know by small tests ) if they connect via imap the problem users mostly use outlook 2010/2007 no webmail etc and my test client is thunderbird ( current stable )
So when should the \Recent flags be cleared with virtual mailboxes, and when not? Is it simply "clear with POP3, don't clear with others"? Then again others have wanted to create a virtual INBOX that shows full threads, i.e. messages also from Sent mailbox. That basically acts like an INBOX, so it should clear \Recent flags from INBOX.
Maybe this should be configurable. For example:
+a b +b/*
would keep \Recent flags in mailbox "b", but clear them from "a" and "b/*". Hmmh. Yeah, I guess that's the right solution. See if this works:
i will give this a try and report
