Tried that no dice. This is affecting POP3/IMAP clients such as Thunderbird, Entourage, Outlook, OE, and MS Live Mail. I ran the rc1 and the problem was not there. As soon as the release hit the problem started to crop up. Using FreeBSD 11.0 - p2

Tat is what I see in the log. I did send a huge attachment. Dovecot was adding the UID by 1 for some odd reason. Can you track down why this is occuring? And even IMAP folder cannot update.

Reverting will not work. I have clients turning into dragons over this issue.

doing some research, I did use Thunderbird in this case with IMAP Mail. In my own account I used roundcube mail delete unhidden trash and seems to have solved my problem. In another account, I see lots of white items in RoundCude as if these items are hidden from Thunderbird hance blocking the IMAP Client from deleting e-mails. Has anyone ran into this before? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca God,Queen and country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! http://www.fullyfollow.me/rootnl2k Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism Time for the USA to hold a referendum on its republic and vote to dissolve!!

I guess these "white items" are messages marked as deleted but not expunged. It is normal with Thunderbird, it does not expunge immediately (probably can be configured to do so).

I thought the question was mainly about Thunderbird, sorry if I misunderstood.

There is the Dovecot lazy expunge plugin, maybe that could help, it moves deleted mail out, instead of marking it in-place. I've not used it personally though.

I run Dovecot-2.2.26.0 on several FreeBSD (8.4, 9.3 though) and people mostly use Outlook (POP3/IMAP4) and I haven't heard any complaints.
