[Dovecot] Strange behavior
Hi,
I'm using dovecot under fedora core 2. Nearly everything seems to work. Dovecot was easily to configure and is a really smart program.
BUT ...
I figured out a problem. Whenever I fetch my mails (pop3s) using Outlook, TheBat or Pegasus, the mails on the server will not be marked as read. Sometimes I don't have a nice GUI mail client, than I use pine (I love it, but I won't feed the trolls ;-)). All messages, which I have already received are marked as new in pine or my webinterface squirrelmail.
It seems, that dovecot doesn't mark the messages as read after fetching them. There are no strange entries in the logs, nothing which seems to be mysterious. Can anyone help me? This problem teases me.
Cheers,
DuRu

Right, it doesn't. Maybe it should. This would be needed anyway if I wanted to support LAST command which some clients still want.

That's interesting - I'd assumed that it did. Perhaps only becuase I've seen that behaviour in other servers. I think would make sense to mark mails downloaded via POP3 as read - it seems to be the best way to make accessing emails through both POP3 and IMAP work together.
