Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'.
Is mutt accessing the mail store directly, or via IMAP?
In this case, the mail is fetched with fetchmail and then mutt accesses local mailboxes.
If you want a consistent view, I'd suggest you use IMAP to access the mailboxes.
Well, I fixed it with a procmail rule, as these headers are undoubtedly needed with other MUAs.
Are you sure? If so, they are broken. RFC 2076 identifies the "Status:" header as non-standard. It's used for per-message storage of flags (which is done another way by dovecot with Maildir storage).
So mutt could be broken then?
But, when I fetch mail from my Dovecot server on a local machine, and open the mailbox with mutt, I am most likely to not have seen the mail before, so I do not understand why the Status: should be 'O'.
I don't think this has much to do with dovecot.
