Hi,
maybee nothing to do with your case, but with my Thunderbird / Dovecot setup, I had to enable "check this folder for new messages" in all the folders I wanted to monitor within TB.

Hey all,
I'm having no luck getting new mail notification except in two mail folders (using maildir w/procmail delivery). I'm using three different clients (sylpheed-claws 1.9.14, Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 and a newer version of Horde). None of them are getting new mail in any except these two folders (inbox and 1 other). If I browse to the folders, still nothing.
If I browse to the folders with Horde, I see the new mail, but not always in the other clients. It's hit or miss if the other clients get notified of the mail, but the mail is moved from the new folder.
I'm subscribed to the folders and have them to be checked for new messages (in Thunderbird).
I tried using dnotify, and things got worse (no folders updated). I've over 350 e-mails sitting in new folders right now:
[robert@thunder Maildir]$ ls .*/new | wc 397 332 12925
One interesting item I noticed is that if I touch a file in a new directory (or vi it), I immediately get notification of the mail (and it gets moved from new to cur).
I'm running dovecot 1.0 RC7 configured as
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot --with-pgsql --with-pam --localstatedir=/var
with the following changes to the config:
base_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/ protocols = imaps ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep }
I'm running dovecot through xinetd:
service imaps { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login flags = IPv4 server_args = --ssl }
Linux thunder.logicalchaos.org 2.6.12-12-3 #5 SMP Wed Feb 1 23:59:03 MST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2600+ unknown GNU/Linux
Help?
Thanks, Rob
