Hi -
I've been using Hastymail with my Dovecot server for awhile now.
However, I have noticed that at some point Hastymail stopped showing the
number of unseen messages in its folder drop down list, it just shows 0
for the folders that I have it checking for unseen messages. I'm not
sure when it broke, but I think it's when I went to one of the testing
builds several months ago. I just upgraded to Hastymail 1.3 and Dovecot
testing66 today just to see if the issue would go away and it hasn't.
So I did some digging and I think I found the cause of the issue... If I
send a STATUS command, like the one shown below, Dovecot changes the
mailbox delimiter in the result from a "/" to a "."...
2 STATUS "Misc/Spam" (UNSEEN)
- STATUS "Misc.Spam" (UNSEEN 3) 2 OK Status completed.
I was able to work around this in Hastymail by substituting a "/" for a "." when the result comes back, but it's not that elegant. Any thoughts on why this might be happening in Dovecot? Is it a configuration issue on my part, or a bug? The private namespace in my dovecot.conf has the following:
separator = /
Thanks, Lawrence
