Hello, a bit of a problem with Dovecot. Version is 1.0.15 and is a

that Dovecot is configured to use Maildir


I have a user on the system who uses the tags in Thunderbird  
(Important, Personal etc). When she tags the messages they cannot be  
deleted and their tags cannot be changed.  When deleting a message  
from the IMAP inbox it momentarily disappears and moves a copy to  
the Trash but when the IMAP inbox is reloaded the message reappears.  
The same happens when I try to change a tag: it comes back with the  
previous tag.


Untagged messages can be freely deleted. Also, this problem does not  
happen if the messages are in a IMAP folder. They can be freely  
deleted.


The problem seems specific to Dovecot, not Thunderbird, as I am able  
to tag and delete messages in another IMAP account. Also, accessing  
the same IMAP account using OS X Mail the messages come back after  
deleting them.


Where should I start looking for a solution to this problem?


Sounds pretty weird. But I guess I'd first look at the rawlog output  
of what the clients send to Dovecot and what Dovecot sends back. Also  
are there any error messages in Dovecot's logs? It kind of sounds like  
the mailbox could be read-only, but there should be no difference  
between expunging a message that has tags (IMAP keywords) and that  
doesn't have.
