I started testing dovecot for our next POP/IMAP server (nearing production state), and noticed that the Status: header is always added, with a value of 'O' or 'RO'. This happens in `lib-index/mbox/mbox-rewrite.c'. This does not seem to happen in the Maildir case.
Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'.
Well, I fixed it with a procmail rule, as these headers are undoubtedly needed with other MUAs. I did not find any reference on which (IMAP software or mutt) have used this header first.
Sometimes it is good to read back some good old manual. My problem is easily solved with a single keyword in the fetchmail configuration file: 'dropstatus'.
