Hi,

I'm using dovecot 1.1.2 (but I've noticed this since 1.1.1 which I was using until yesterday). It seems dovecot is ignoring the "S"
flag in Maildir filenames, and is relying only in its Index Files to determine if a message has been read or not.

I say that because if I delete the dovecot.index.* files for a mail folder, all the mails in there appear as unread.

Do you have dovecot-shared file in the maildir? If it exists, Dovecot
uses only its index file for storing \Seen flags (to get per-user
\Seen flags with shared mailboxes).
