[Dovecot] Dovecot imap with Postfix and using Thunderbird as client
Hi,
I just recently installed dovecot, and I am having the following problem:
If I send an email to my account on this new machine, I can log in via
SSH and use the unix mail command, and instantly my email is visible.
If I turn on Thunderbird, it will show my new message. If Thunderbird
was already on and had already checked the mailbox, even if I click on
get new mail for that specific mailbox, the new mail does not show up
until I restart thunderbird. Is there something that I have set wrong
in the config files that is preventing the IMAP part of dovecot from
refreshing the messages quickly for me to see? I dont see anything in
the log files at all except for it showing me logging in.
Thanks,
Ben

I am using pretty much the same setup - Dovecot (0.99.14), Postfix and Thunderbird. I vaguely remember something like this, but I don't recall the fix. What happens when you click on another folder, and back to the folder with the new mail? Does it show then?
