Hi, I use Sarge's dovecot for a pop3 mail collection server. IMAP is not used at all. It works well, but I would like to know why one of the accounts also keeps a copy of all e-mail copies in the cur/ folder?
Because the MUA popping the mail is configured to "leave messages on server". Sometimes it's called "Keep unread messages on server" or variations on the theme. It's usually configured in the same place on the MUA as the username and password for the account.
If the answer only creates more questions for you, you'll probably find lots of information on search engine now that you have some decent keywords to use :-)
HANY everybody
You were all right - the mua was configured to leave mail on the server. *sigh*
Thanks!
