[Dovecot] gmail pop3 fetcher sets my emails as read
Hello,
I'm testing gmail to fetch my emails via POP3 and I've noticed that on the server where I run dovecot, the emails that gmail take, are marked as read when I imap my emails with my thunderbird.
As I've noticed that this is not true for the email accounts on another mail environment, I was wondering if anyone of you could sugged where I could change the behaviour.
My configuration is: # 1.1.8: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-67.0.4.EL i686 CentOS release 4.7 (Final) log_path: /var/log/maillog info_log_path: /var/log/maillog protocols: imap pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=mbox mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: cache_size: 1024 verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes cache_key=%u%s dovecot userdb: driver: passwd
Thank you for helping

# Don't try to set mails non-recent or seen with POP3 sessions. This is # mostly intended to reduce disk I/O. With maildir it doesn't move files # from new/ to cur/, with mbox it doesn't write Status-header. #pop3_no_flag_updates = no
Hi, I think that this one was the one that I tried already, but I think I made a mistake because I left it as = no I will try with = yes

I can confirm that now emails fetched from gmail are not market as read, cool thanks!
I think I misunderstood the parameter the first time I've read it. I don't know if that "pop3_no_flag_updates" is a standard name for the param, but I would have changed to: pop3_flag_updates = yes // means it updates the flags pop3_flag_updates = no // means it does not updates the flags
while the current behaviour is: pop3_no_flag_updates = yes // Does not updates the flags pop3_no_flag_updates = no // Does updates the flags
In any case, thank you!
