On the point of \Recent, what does the \Recent flag actually do?
Interestingly, we use SquirrelMail at this DBMail site and it has
precisely no problem seeing new messages (as far as I can tell - in the
case that happened today, SquirrelMail correctly saw all messages when
Outlook Express didn't.)

On the topic of point 1, I reported a few weeks ago but got no response...
that I see *every message* since I upgraded to 1.1 as \Recent. It looks
like the only way to have a message not be \Recent is to flag is from my
application. I don't think this is correct; all other IMAP servers I know
of automatically handle removing \Recent if the message is \Seen or \Read.
On point 2, I have heard rumors that this is being fixed?

Hi all,
Since rolling out DBMail, I've noticed two possible bugs. These bugs may
simply be limited to when Outlook Express is used as the client, but
I've noticed similar behaviour to point 1 in Mozilla Mail 1.3
1. Often, the mail client (OE or Mozilla Mail) will report that new mail
is in one's Inbox. However, the messages will not be pulled down,
regardless of what is tried (synchronising messages and/or headers,
restarting the client, clearing the local message cache, restarting
dbmail-imapd, changing status flags, restarting the mail client etc).
2. In OE, many messages have their Sender name surrounded by double
quotes (inverted commas to any other Australians who went through
primary school in the mid-late eighties). This is mostly cosmetic, but
it does break sorting on the client side, making the finding of messages
just a bit more difficult.
If anyone wants to point me to the appropriate sections in the source
tree, I'll have a go at fixing these myself (They drill C into us real
good at uni!). Of course, I'll submit patches if successful.
