Hi,
Apologies in advance to the slightly vague nature of this question, but I know
there are a few dovecot users on this list and I wanted to see if this rang
any bells.
I've moved some user's mail to a machine that uses dovecot to allow access via
imaps. Mail is stored in maildirs, and there are several subfolders etc.
I've labelled this one as OT becase this used to be hosted on a Linux machine
and all mail (SMTP etc.) and imap, imaps access was provided via Courier[0].
The linux machine had a hardware issue, so I've moved this to machine running
NetBSD (hence OT) and dovecot.
The strange thing, that I wondered if anyone else had seen, is that it works
perfect via Mutt on the local machine (either accessing the Maildir directly,
or imaps to the loopback) and it also works nicely using mutt 1.4.2.2i remotely
(now I've compiled in SSL support!) but I'm having trouble with Mac Mail on
Mac OS X acessing via imaps. It seems that it will refresh the view of the
mailbox ok initally, and you con open mails etc, however, if you move to a sub
folder, it seems to then start endlessly trying to update the view of the mail
box folder. I'm not seeing any errors in the dovecot log, just quite a few
login/logouts from the Mac.
I'm guessing some strange problem with Mac Mail, but it worked fine when
courier was providing the imaps service. Anyone else seen this?
Cheers,
Steve
