Might be a question more for the Roundcube list, but I think the blue depends 
on messages being in the new/ sub directory of the maildir?

Re: Using dovecot with RoundCubeMail - where is the information for new mail in (blue coloured) directories?

Phil,

I looked around and this is deep in the Roundcube service side code. It is 
detecting a new message in a folder since the last time you viewed the contents 
of the folder.  

I see has the folder list items are changed through css and how the server side 
code is receiving the request to check for recent. It get complicated after 
that. I cannot determine if it is keep state in roundcube or making a call to 
the IMAP provider. I am leaning to roundcube state.

 - occasionally I would

 as
 blue-coloured in RCM.

hello 

dovecot -n
# 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 ()
# OS: Linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.0 


what is the meaning / cause of this in mail.err:-
--
dovecot: imap(david)<5004>: Error: Mailbox Trash: open() 
failed with mbox: Required key not available
--

I can telnet to port 143, log in and list folders, but cannot open them.

This seems to have resulted from an experimental install (now purged) of 
courier-imap (I maintain a webmail program). Before this, dovecot just worked; 
now this problem remains even after a reinstall.
