Hello All,
some further information. While waiting for some info I'm rolling back to UW and I discovered that if I delete the user "~/Maildir" automatically created by Dovecot, so including any index, the POP3 server works as expected. So it isn't the "Status" flag stored in the mbox file that prevents the download but some status information stored in the IMAP indexes created by Dovecot. I've retried this a couple of times to be sure. Does this helps?
Umm.. If you haven't uncommented default_mail_env setting in dovecot.conf, Dovecot tries to autodetect the location of the mailbox. If ~/Maildir exists, it's used instead of the mboxes. So it sounds like the problem has something to do with this. But the same should have happened with both IMAP and POP3 then, neither should have seen any mails if maildir was empty..
Anyway, try setting default_mail_env explicitly and see if it works then.
