[Dovecot] Server going crazy!!!
I have dovecot-0.99.11-1FC3.4. I use Pine on the server and Outlook 2003 on remote computers to access IMAP and POP3 to access via my blackberry 7100t. It seems that after using IMAP and then going back to pine it somehow refreshes everything and all the messages are picked up on my blackberry once again as if the emails are new. So everything that is in my inbox is now pushed or grabbed by my blackberry as new messages when they are not and have been read already (at least most of them). Why is this happening?
## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::]
imaps_listen = [::] pop3s_listen = [::]
log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S "
login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login
login_chroot = yes
login = imap
login = pop3
default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
mbox_locks = fcntl
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root

POP and IMAP are never going to play nice together. POP normally works best when it can download the message and delete it off the server. IMAP works specifically by leaving all messages on the server all the time.
One thing you could consider is creating a second e-mail account to which you forward your e-mail for the Blackberry to use (and then delete). I have a single Blackberry I am forced to support (my boss's boss), and I am forwarding messages below a certain size to his Blackberry account.
