[Dovecot] Keep the email on the server
Hello,
I migrate my server POP3/IMAP recently the Courier-IMAP for Dovecot and am having problems when the user configures your e-mail client to leave a copy of mail on the server.
All mail in the inbox, are brought all the time that you check your mailbox input via POP3, causing a large traffic of unnecessary data every time. In my opinion you should bring only the new mail, unread.
Can you tell me if this is a configuration issue on Dovecot?
Thank you all

Only if you provide enough information... do you think we are mind readers? ;)
For starters, what version of dovecot? What is output of dovecot -n?

The same mails are downloaded over and over again? I'm guessing using Outlook as the client? What do you have in pop3_uidl_format? Your dovecot -n output didn't provide it, which means you're using a distribution package that set a default for it. Perhaps a bad default. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server -> UIDL format.
