Which v1.0? (Which one's Debian 4.0? :) I wish Debian used Ubuntu-style year+month numbers as versions. The only Debian versions I remember are stable, testing and unstable..) Anyway, I don't think there have been any actual STATUS command related bugs in Dovecot. If opening the mailbox shows that there are new mails, it's more likely that it's a Thunderbird bug/configuration issue. > Or does Dovecot even offer an option like the mentioned > IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS=1 A quick google lookup didn't really tell what this does. My best guess is that it sets \Marked flag for LIST replies, which Dovecot does by default and Thunderbird completely ignores. > and IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE=1 in Courier? This is done by default, if compiled with dnotify/inotify (dovecot --build-options shows). But it's not related to your problem anyway.
