On October 11, Mark Farmer reported a problem about not being able to see new mails. I'm running into the same issue. Even though cur/ and new/ contain messages, Dovecot reports that there aren't any.

It looks like a problem with the dovecot.index* files. When I delete them, alpha4 can serve up the mails just fine, and will in fact keep working for a little while. Eventually (within a few hours, although I'm not sure what causes it), dovecot thinks things are empty again.
What about if you do "touch Maildir/new", does it then see the new mails?
Yes, that does cause the new messages to be seen.
What filesystem do you use?
JFS on Linux 2.6.13. I'm just using the default mount options, so no noatime, if that would be an issue.
