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.
This problem seemed to start happening in alpha3 (and persists in alpha4).
When I revert back to alpha2, the messages show up again.
Probably because alpha3 contains this change:
* src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-sync.c: We were forcing a
maildir resync when it hadn't changed at all.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?
What filesystem do you use?
