That's interesting - I'd assumed that it did. Perhaps only becuase I've 
seen that behaviour in other servers. I think would make sense to mark 
mails downloaded via POP3 as read - it seems to be the best way to make 
accessing emails through both POP3 and IMAP work together.

Dovecot, Outlook Express and new accounts

I have come across a strange situation, involving new accounts. I am 
running Dovecot 0.99.10-5 on Fedora Core 2. Dovecot is configured to use 
pam for authentication, and the dovecot pam service is configured to use 
pam_mkhomedir.

When an account is created and the user logs in through SquirrelMail, 
there is no problem. The standard folders are available - Inbox, Drafts, 
Sent Items and Trash.

When logging in through Outlook Express first, it gives the following 
error:-

The server did not respond to this IMAP command before the connection 
was terminated.

Configuration:
    Account: mail.server
    Server: mail.server
    User name: username
    Protocol: IMAP
    Port: 143
    Secure(SSL): 0
    Code: 800ccc0f

A packet trace shows the following:-

<<< * OK dovecot ready.
 >>> 008E CAPABILITY
<<< * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT 
LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN

My workaround is to send a test email every time I create a new account. 
My mail server (exim) auto-creates this required dir.

Thanks Marius.

Would you mind sharing your pertinent exim configuration? This is 
something else I have had trouble with; sending email to a new user who 
has not logged in, exim shows the following:-

2004-09-01 13:45:36 1C2UUa-0006HI-IE == username <at> domain.gtld 
R=userforward defer (-1): failed to stat /home/group/username/. (No such 
file or directory)

Exim is configured to deliver emails into $home.

Looks like you deliver emails to 'real' users; I don't know if this 
applies to your setup, since I'm using virtual users, but here's my 
relevant transport:

maildir_delivery:
  driver = appendfile
  directory = /var/mail/$domain/$local_part
  maildir_format
  create_directory
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  user = exim
  group = mail
  mode = 0660
  directory_mode = 0770

try "file = $home" here

another thing: looks like the 'userforward' router is refusing your 
message; this happens _before_ getting into the transport phase, so 
check the above router. Mine (userforward router) is commented out, btw

Can you post your whole config ?  I suspect that the problem actually lies
elsewhere.
