Package: dovecot-common
Version: 0.99.14-1
Severity: important
It seems that Dovecot marks every message served up by its pop and imap
servers as "Status: O" if downloaded with certain clients (like
fetchmail), which, according to RFC 2076 means "message is old but not
deleted" - though this is non-standard. This makes mail readers that
use this field (like mutt) think all new mail is just old unread mail.
There also seems to be no way to disable this in the current version's
configuration, making these clients unable to function correctly when
used with dovecot.
This also seems to have an affect on kmail's ability to automatically
read new messages from the dovecot imap server as well, but I have not
confirmed this is certainly due to the same problem.
This seems to have been discussed upstream, but with no resolution I can
find:
