[Dovecot] some mail reappears or marked as read again
Sometimes a mail - already read or moved into another folder - appears again in the INBOX. I was not quite sure about this but today is once close the mail client (thunderbird 2.0.0.4 on fedora 7) and the only mail in the inbox was mark as unread. I think it happens in other mailboxes too. But it might be a client problem as I changed to dovecot and thunderbird 2 (from 1.5) nearly at the same time - but i think it happens before with thunderbird 1.5 too). In the logs there is nothing but some logins/logout.

[Dovecot] deleting maildir files
Greetings all...
Can we delete maildir files directly from the file system?
Basically, we use dovecot to train spam, and we want to delete messages
that are older than 30 days, using a simple find /maildirs -cname +30
-name *imap-server* -exec rm {} \;
I have seen a post a while ago saying that dovecot can rebuild the
indexes, but I don't remember if it's when the index is deleted or when
the maildir files are deleted.
And if we cannot delete files with the 'rm' command, whats the
best/proper way to delete these older files.
Thanks
[Dovecot] Getting quotas from an NFS-mounted filestore
Greetings - I was just wondering what the state of play was with regard to reading filestore-based quotas when the mailstore is NFS-mounted? Timo mentioned a little while ago that he'd be including it: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-May/022594.html However it isn't in 1.0.1 and isn't mentioned in the release notes for 1.0.2. Is it going to be a 1.1 feature or will it appear before then? I'm asking because although I can't get the rquota-rquotad patch to build on Solaris I have found some code on the net which does do RPC based quota lookups. I'm toying with the idea of trying to modify rquota-rquotad to use this other code. However this is out of my area of knowledge so it will be an uphill battle ... so if reading quotas from NFS-mounted filestores will be coming Real Soon Now I'll probably just wait instead. So any ideas as to timescales, please?

My opinion has always been that the data structure should not be replied
upon if you want to do things with your mail items, then use the
APIs/imap commands to do it. That protects you from any internal stuff
you didn't know about, or changed from one server to another, or one
version to another.
For example, I have the beginnings of a script to handle my mail
retention policies. It connects to Dovecot/imap to get the list of mail
for specific folders, then uses the imap delete (or copy) API to delete
mail older than n days, or to keep only the most recent n messages. That
sort of thing.
The benefit is my script then doesn't care how Dovecot (or whichever
server) stores things and if a mailbox changes from mbox to maildir
format, or similar change.. no worries... my script just doesn't care...
it always uses the APIs to manipulate mail.
Safe, but admittedly not as fast. I favor reliability over speed in
these sorts of cases. :-)
