It happened again. Once it got around midnight local time I stopped
seeing correct STATUS updates with the UNSEEN count. Running two
MUAs: I opened a mailbox with new messages in one, and the next time
the other MUA (webmail) polled it magically started seeing unseen
messages again. And now if I change the seen flag in one MUA, it will
continue to be updated (as normal) in the other MUA.
Next time try talking IMAP protocol directly? First giving the same LIST
STATUS command, and if it doesn't show the updated counts, try STATUS
directly and finally EXAMINE.
Weird. In the MUA I was seeing this:
C: 4 LIST "" (INBOX IN.dovecot) RETURN (STATUS (UNSEEN))
S: * LIST () "." "IN.dovecot"
S: * STATUS "IN.dovecot" (UNSEEN 0)
S: * LIST () "." "INBOX"
S: * STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 1)
S: 4 OK List completed.
Then I did this:
slusarz@bigworm % dovecot
* PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID
ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS
MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED

* STATUS "IN.dovecot" (UNSEEN 7)
* LIST () "." "INBOX"
* STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 1)
1 OK List completed.
Sure enough, I went back to the MUA and now see this:
C: 4 LIST "" (INBOX IN.dovecot) RETURN (STATUS (UNSEEN))
S: * LIST () "." "IN.dovecot"
S: * STATUS "IN.dovecot" (UNSEEN 7)
S: * LIST () "." "INBOX"
S: * STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 1)
S: 4 OK List completed.
The only difference... in the MUA I am enabling QRESYNC. This is what
the previous commands look like (before reaching the LIST-STATUS
command):
Timestamp: Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:17:56 -0700
S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
AUTH=LOGIN XIMAPPROXY] Dovecot ready.
C: [LOGIN Command - username: slusarz]
S: 1 OK User logged in
C: 2 ENABLE QRESYNC
S: * ENABLED QRESYNC
S: 2 OK Enabled.
C: 3 STATUS IN.horde.cvs (MESSAGES UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY HIGHESTMODSEQ)
S: * STATUS "IN.horde.cvs" (MESSAGES 11 UIDNEXT 16767 UIDVALIDITY
1239077891 HIGHESTMODSEQ 31409)
S: 3 OK Status completed.
Next time I see this issue, I will try to go back and issue ENABLE
QRESYNC from the command line.
I don't see anything in the code that could explain why this could be
happening. What filesystem are you using?
Nothing fancy: jfs on Archlinux. I've been using it for years - it's
not something I have recently changed.
