Sometimes a mail - already read or moved into another folder - appears again in the INBOX. I was not quite sure about this but today is once close the mail client (thunderbird 2.0.0.4 on fedora 7) and the only mail in the inbox was mark as unread.
I think it happens in other mailboxes too.
But it might be a client problem as I changed to dovecot and thunderbird 2 (from 1.5) nearly at the same time - but i think it happens before with thunderbird 1.5 too).
In the logs there is nothing but some logins/logout.
(the "dovecot -n" is attached)
