I recently installed CentOS 6.0 and Dovecot 2.0.
My problem is that, when I download emails to my laptop (running Thunderbird), the emails are NOT deleted from my server. They stay there and are downloaded again and again. 8-(
The "Leave messages on server" option in Thunderbird is not checked.
I have several laptops that used to work when I ran CentOS 5.6 / Dovecot 1.x. I haven't changed their configuration and they all have the same problem.
Here's a sample (personal data removed) of /var/log/maillog when I download messages (note the "del=0/487" on the 2nd line):
Aug 13 14:28:54 chasserver dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<centos>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.2, lip=192.168.0.27, mpid=18393, TLS Aug 13 14:29:28 chasserver dovecot: pop3(centos): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=487/2134628, del=0/487, size=2126323
My "dovecot -n" output is below.
Thanks, Charlie
