[Dovecot] XUIDL Migration problems

[Steve H]

Hello All,

I am new to Dovecot and the Dovecot mailing list.

I am trying to migrate an existing Exim + qpopper - mbox (pop3 only) installation over to Exim + Dovecot using mdir (pop3 and imap)
And am running into problems with preserving the XUIDL headers.

I am running Dovecot 2.0.14

I have used the mb2md.pl script : http://dovecot.org/tools/mb2md.pl from this page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat to migrate and import the mboxes
And have the following pop3 uidl settings in my configuration .

pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes
pop3_save_uidl = yes
protocols = imap pop3
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imaps {
    port = 993
    ssl = yes
  }
}
service pop3-login {
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = 110
  }
  inet_listener pop3s {
    port = 995
    ssl = yes
  }
protocol pop3 {
  pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes
  pop3_save_uidl = yes
  pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
}

The problem specifically is that when I test the migration and import a mailbox, I am able to connect via IMAP using Thunderbird  and Outlook 2007 and the Read / Unread status is preserved.
However when I connect via POP3 the Read/Unread status is not preserved.

I am probably missing something simple, but have been unable to find anything that seems relevant on the Dovecot wiki or searching the mailing lists.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
