Hi,

I'm running dovecot-1.0.beta8 from FreeBSD ports, using mbox mail store. My problem appears to have come up on the list about a month ago, "Expunge is not expunging unless it is called twice". I ran through Bill Boebel's telnet-IMAP session for myself, and I see that his test case is now fixed (as Timo said), but mutt, for whatever reason, uses +FLAGS.SILENT, and I'm still getting the behaviour in Bill's original problem when I telnet and use +FLAGS.SILENT:

1 OK Logged in. 2 select INBOX

• FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
• OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)]
• Flags permitted.
• 1 EXISTS
• 1 RECENT
• OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
• OK [UIDVALIDITY 1148956034] UIDs valid
• OK [UIDNEXT 4] Predicted next UID 2 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. 3 UID STORE 3 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted) 3 OK Store completed. 4 expunge 4 OK Expunge completed. 5 expunge
• 1 EXPUNGE
• 0 RECENT 5 OK Expunge completed.

After step 4, the message is still in the mailbox with "X-Status: D"; the second expunge is required to remove it. I seem to get the same behaviour with Thunderbird, so is this still a dovecot problem? (I have Thunderbird set up to remove deleted messages immediately, not move to trash or just mark as deleted.)

I'm also still experiencing the twice-needed expunge problem (with mutt and +FLAGS.SILENT) just as Jeff described it. I have the problem both with Beta8 and with last night's CVS snapshot. I'm using Maildir.

Thanks very much, Glenn
