Hi
I've been using courier for some time, but have just built a new box and am using dovecot (V1.2.9), Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I have a question regarding multiple concurrent imap connections and how to get dovecot to behave in the same way that courier does. I have searched the wiki, but find little relevant to my specific issue.
Courier-Imap Behaviour
If I have thunderbird pointed at the 'Inbox' folder via IMAP, then connect another IMAP client to the same mail account (in this case an iPhone), and then delete an email using the iphone, then after a couple of seconds, the inbox shown by Thunderbird updates, removing the now deleted email. It does this without my having to touch Thunderbird.
Dovecot behaviour
Performing the same test on a different mailbox, this time hosted via Dovecot, I again see the two views, one in Thunderbird and one on the iPhone, but when I delete the email on the iPhone, the change is not reflected in the view on Thunderbird. If I select the email on Thunderbird, then it has no content. If I restart thunderbird, the deleted email is still shown. I have to delete (the already deleted) the email also in thunderbird before it finally dissapears.
How can I get the courier behaviour where the inbox in one email client automagically reflects the changes made to that inbox in another client? If I am better sticking to Courier to get this functionality, thats fine, but if I can configure the behaviour I desire and still retail the benefits of dovecot then thats even better!
Kind Regards
Nigel
first show your conf to make sure what you configured dovecot
and i tested same scenario many times with tb and android k9 mail imap dovecot 2.0x i see it working like expected at deleting moving mail for sure there always might be time, time drifts by differnt network speeds and refreshing imap cons
