We've been using an imap(s) dovecot server for a while on an ubuntu

imap account from another machine, the tags are not there anymore...
this always happens for the Inbox, and seldomly for other imap
folders... anyone else experiencing this?
Are you using mbox files? Sounds like the same problem as "Custom
flags in v1.0.15" a few days ago. Upgrading to v1.1 fixed that. Or
setting mbox_lazy_writes=no.
Hi there
I checked in our dovecot.conf and there was
#mbox_lazy_writes=yes
i.e., it was commented, and probably defaults to yes. I changed it into
mbox_lazy_writes=no
restarted dovecot, and did a quick test with two machines, and it looks
like it's working now! :-)
I want to do some other tests and then get back to you
I think I can confirm that the bug is now gone!
again, thanks a lot :-)
cheers
Lorenzo
