Hi,
So I'm running dovecot 1.2.17
on Mac OSX using maildir in ~/Mail. After using getmail for a while to
download my POP3 email and store it in the right place it started not
working so I replaced it with a python script that I wrote. All was good
for a while and then I stopped getting new mail notifications in my
IMAP client. If I close the connection and restart the new mail shows up
as !seen but no amount of re-selecting the folder will show the new
mail while the connection is active. There is no untagged responses
about new mail while the client is IDLEing. The client is InScribe (
http://memecode.com/inscribe.php) but I doubt it's client specific. Seems to be server related.
Now
the python script in question just puts the .eml file in ~/Mail/tmp and
then renames it to the ~/Mail/new folder. Does it need to do something
else as well to make the notifications work?
There aren't any error messages in the log. Just normal login history.
