Hi,
I've just completed a migration from Courier to a Dovecot 1.0.7 (patched RHE 5) which is working great, except for this weirdness of an issue that is impacting a handful of users. My question is that will turning off maildir_copy_preserve_filename help or hurt in a situation where there are multiple servers with their own local INDEX files (uidlist is shared)?
It should make no difference.
The problem is that a few users on a few versions of Microsoft Mail clients are not showing a few messages. They can see the messages just fine in webmail and other, more typical, E-mail clients.
If the webmail sees it, then Dovecot sees it and I can't really think of why MS Mail wouldn't see it.. Do you mean even a client restart won't help? Or are they using different Dovecot servers?
You could enable rawlog (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog) for the users having the problem and see if it shows the mails being sent to MS Mail.
Another option might be easier is to delete the users INDEX and let the clients rebuild them.
If webmail sees the mails, I don't see it making any difference.
