Hello

I have an Apple computer user who has great problems using IMAP and Dovecot.

Some same messages seems to stay in two or more folders and are impossible to erase from the Apple mail client

Anyone has that kind of troubles ?

No.

PS: Perhaps could you tell us a bit more (client and server side), so that really helpful answers may be provided. ;-)

Well OK

If he try to read some messages with apple mail client some messages seems duplicated in several IMAP folders

If I read those messages with mutt onto the server everything is clean

apple mail has a long bug list with imap, as well many user dont use it rightly , possible the double, is one mail on imap and the same on a local copy sometime miracle happens when migration i.e a pop3 account to imap with apple mail i would recommend dont use it

OK thank you , but Mac users are difficult to convinct ;-)

It sounds like your local caches in Mac Mail are confused if
everything looks fine in Mutt. Try selecting a folder with duplicate
messages and then hit Mailbox > Rebuild. That should delete the local
cache for that folder and re-download all those messages, which should
remove duplicates.

Did you recently switch from a different IMAP server to dovecot? The
"double messages" problem usually happens when IMAP UIDs change on the
server, and usually happens when you switch to dovecot from something
else. We recently migrated from courier to dovecot and had to convert
everyone's UIDs from courier to dovecot to ensure people didn't get
double messages.

Of course, I have seen double messages in Mac Mail happen without a
migration and it usually relates to a quota (filesystem, not IMAP
quota) problem where clients try to delete a message and there's no
room left to move it to the Trash folder. In that case you usually
need to up the quota and rebuild that folder's local cache.

No problems here using Apple Mail. Used in 2 iMacs, 1 Power Book G4, 6 iPhones and Dovecot IMAP works with no problems at all.

Same here. Two macs running mail.app, one iPhone. Both have 6 or 7 accounts, the two biggest accounts talk to a Dovecot server (box w/about 40K msgs) and a Courier server (about 20K msgs). No bizarre issues yet.
