Hi all, after each startup of my different mail clients (thunderbird, outlook, ...) the contents of subfolders if I click in has to be renewed. This takes some time for large folders. I just migrated from courier. And there all subfolders were available immediately. Is there something to configure? Another effect regarding subfolders is that the client forgets, which subfolders were opened after shutdown and shows the folders closed. This means, that necessary subfolders have to be reopened after each startup. This was managed as well by my previous courier server.
Many thanks, no, I don't use NFS but it may be a permission problem. I have virtual users so all the directories belong a artificial user 'exim' and also group 'exim'. Additionally I saw now that the file dovecot-uidlist has the protection 600. The creation date of dovecot-uidlist is the date when I synced first time the folders with dovecot after installation. But strangely a change of the permissions to 666 has no effect, dove-cot isn't changed. A additional info may be that I migrated von courier imap. So the mainfolder INBOX. and single subfolders have a correct changing dovecot-uidlist with 600 and exim exim. All subfolders below the upper subfolders (.Sent.2005.2-Mar) don't change dovecot-uidlist.

Sounds like something's really wrong in here. Are you using NFS? Do you see dovecot-uidlist file in each subfolder directory? Does it get changed?
