[Dovecot] Any news with the MS OE "Headers only" problem?
Hello.
About year ago I tested OE and dovecot imap and met this problem (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients#head-129bcbfc238b5c34362b8216db87c05e7a34af8...)
- Using "Headers only" synchronization is buggy and can cause "Message is no longer available on this server" error when opening a mail.
I configured OE to sync All messages, and it worked, but then it's acts like pop3 and downloads all messages and the local computer mailboxes are still there.
However is there any news according this issue? How to use dovecot imap with OE and "Headers only" option selected?

With dnofify/inotify enabled I think it should work pretty well most
of the time. It's anyway a bug in OE and it can't be fixed by the
IMAP server.

I'm using the 2.4 kernel, so dnotify is the only solution, so I must install the dnotify package and enable in the dovecot.conf the mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 option and thats its? And is the default 30 ok?

If you have dnotify in kernel and it actually works (see that dovecot --build-options lists it and you're not using NFS), you don't need to install anything. mailbox_idle_check_interval also doesn't matter because the point of dnotify is exactly that changes are noticed immediately without having to poll for them.

Hmm, I have selfcompiled 2.4.32 kernel, but don't remember seeing anything about dnotify, but I'll search it in the kernel configuration.

Hmm, seems all ok:
dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll notify=dnotify ipv6 openssl SQL drivers: Passdb: pam passwd shadow Userdb: passwd prefetch
