[Dovecot] E-mail marked as unread
I have a problem where an e-mail will be marked as unread even though it has been read. When I click on the message the status changes to "read" however, when I go to check for new mail the status changes back to "unread."
If I move the message to the trash folder and then move it back to my inbox, the problems stops. Unfortunately, a different e-mail is affected by this problem a few minutes later.
I'm using alpha 3 on Solaris 9 and my client is Mozilla 1.7.7 on Solaris 9. No messages in the log to indicate a problem. Anybody else seen this?

I have, once a day or so.
I am using mbox and Dovecot just doesn't seem to write "Status: R" flag everytime it should. Dovecot has "mbox_lazy_writes" enabled by default so flags are written only at closing of mailbox, but as it seems for some reason it doesn't always happen. Since I'm using Dovecot LDA I thought to disable "mbox_lazy_writes" because on LDA stored mail there is padding in the message headers so immediate flag writes won't generate much writes at all, I did this yesterday so I cannot say yet for sure if it fixed the problem or not.
