[Dovecot] entourage + dovecot bug?

I haven't tried Entourage, but an upgrade of dovecot to 0.99.10.2, and of
sylpheed to 0.9.7, has resulted in very strange behavior for me: on access,
however many items are in a mailbox (maildir), only one (or sometimes 2) is
shown (sylpheed updates the numbe available).  The rest aren't purged; they
just aren't available.  Other mail clients tested (mutt,
mozilla-thunderbird) do not show the same behavior.  But sylpheed is
perfectly happy with two other dovecots (also over maildir; very similar
setups in general) (both 0.99.10, both debian i386, one -10, one -9).

I am not able to isolate the problem either to the client or the server. 
For both, I deleted existing configuration information, and created it anew. 
For dovecot, I also deleted all the imap* files throughout the maildir tree. 
It's rather frustrating ....

Just point of information, since there seem to be interaction issues with
particular clients, versus this version of dovecot.

Better to have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing
special.
