So I'm left with a quandry. I guess the simple question is, Should mail in cur, EVER not have a flag? I suppose if it were marked as UNSEEN after being SEEN, that's possible. So I just answered myself there :)
Just SELECTing a mailbox causes Dovecot to
Is it possible to have Dovecot NOT move a file from new/ to cur/ until a flag has been assigned to the mail? Just from a, possible, performance standpoint - it seems when accessing an INBOX from a PHP webmail system with MANY new mails, there is an unnecessary(?) mass move of these files to another folder.
No, (as I understand it) because the time when they are moved to cur/ is when they are assigned UIDs.
You can avoid this performance loss (as I understand it) by using Dovecot deliver to deliver the messages straight into cur/. (Others including Timo, correct me if I misunderstand!)
