[Dovecot] new-attrib lost when calling through pop3
Hi,
I noticed, that all messages are moved from new/ to cur/ (using maildirs) after the authentication in pop3, even before the list command. I'm working with 1.0-stable-20050426. Why is this done? Shouldn't a message keep it's new-attrib as long as it isn't retrieved? This is how it worked with qmail-pop3d. Through imap, it works correctly. It's just sad if I can't distinguish between older and new emails with imap, just because I logged in through pop3 shortly before.
Regards Marten

Hmm. I guess.. Well, I'll put it in TODO.
For now you can use pop3_no_flag_updates = yes.
