I'm not sure if this is a qmail issue or what, but I'm not having a whole
lot of luck finding info on this anywhere else...
I'm converting users with existing POP mailboxes (i.e., they keep mail on
the server) from mbox to Maildir format, and in the process, switching
them from cucipop (which doesn't understand Maildir) to a patched version
of ipop3d, the POP server that comes with the UW-IMAP distribution (which
does). When I do this, all of the messages that were saved in the user's
Mailbox appear in the Inbox on the user's client, even those that had
already been seen/dealt with. This happens even if I explicitly put all
of the messages into the "cur" folder (as opposed to "new").
Also, it doesn't seem that deleting messages on the client side deletes
them from the server, even if the appropriate option on the client side is
active (for example, the "Delete items on server when emptying trash"
option in Netscape Messenger)
It sounds like it's some sort of issue (at least, the first one) with the
UIDL information not being preserved, at least from what I've been
reading, but that's mostly just a guess.
Does anyone know why this might be happening, and/or what I can do about
it? I'll have people beating down my door if everyone gets hundreds
(even, in some cases, thousands) of old messages dumped in their Inbox...
Thanks,
Adam
