I just set up dovecot on fedora core 3 with only pop3s protocol enabled. On my client machine, I use fetchmail to get the mail and then go through procmail and eventually ready by mutt.
Everything seems to work fine, except that all new emails are marked old unread emails (i.e., marked with 'O' flag instead of 'N'). This is annoying because some open source lists are so large that I really rely on the "N" flag to read my emails.
With 1.0-stable/test releases you can set "pop3_no_flag_updates = yes" which fixes this. No way to fix 0.99.x though.
But why does 0.99 does a header rewrite before delivering the mails? It does not seem to be right behavior. I wonder 1) if everybody else seeing the same behavior 2) if not, what are the conditions triggering this re-write?
I scanned through the source code and realized the *huge* difference between .99 and 1.0.
I built 1.0. When I ran it, it exited immediately, Client cannot connect to the server. Is there anything I need to do in dovecot.conf file. Currently I just copied the sample conf and turned on the protocols. No other changes.
Another plead: Anybody has built dovecot 1.0 for FC? That would save my struggle I am having right now.
