I mostly use Mutt to read mail but today I fired up Thunderbird.
I have a shell script that looks for new mail, which looks for files in cur/ and new/ ending with the server hostname or a comma.
When I fired up TB it seems that all new mail has been given a flag of ,a which I gather means it matches a keyword.
My questions are:
How did this happen? Did TB do something strange to my mail when it fetched headers? If I change my search parameters to ',[a-z]' will this only catch new mail?
Cheers

Yes, see the 0 number in dovecot-keywords

I guess it marks it as $nonspam.

I just had a look in the dovecot.keywords file and it had:
0 junk 1 nonjunk
So it looks like TB labelled all my mailing list mail as junk.

Thunderbird is initially pretty stupid about what it labels as junk. As you unmark non-junk and mark actual junk, it gets better, but never great. It's certainly no substitute for spamassassin.
But this wanders off topic for this list, so I'll leave it there.
