DBMail Users,
I've recently given DBMail a try. I'm a e-mail pack-rat and am
exploring options to improve performance with some relatively large
mailboxes. After creating a couple of test mailboxes and copying some
messages to them I am seeing some odd behavior under Mutt.
I have piles of hierarchical mailboxes. I created a few test mailboxes. As
an example, two of the mailboxes I created are named Announcements and
General which are under an ArchLinux "folder," as:
INBOX/ArchLinux/Announcements
INBOX/ArchLinux/General
The hierarchical folders seem to be confusing Mutt. When I'm at the
level where it should be displaying the ArchLinux folder, it's
displaying it, and other folders with mailboxes under them, multiple
times:
1 ../
2 00-Inbox
3 ArchLinux/
4 ArchLinux/
5 ArchLinux/
6 MiscComp/
7 MiscComp/
8 Test
If I select any of the ArchLinux folders listed above, the mailboxes
under ArchLinux display normally. I was using Alpine a while back and
fired it up to compare. I'm seeing similar symptoms under Alpine:
00-Inbox Test ArchLinux/ ArchLinux/ ArchLinux[/]
MiscComp/ MiscComp[/]
Also, Mutt is displaying all unread messages as new messages, even if
I close a mailbox and go back into it. None of the unread messages
are showing up as "old" messages as they should be. I'm not seeing
that problem under Alpine.
I've used Mutt, and Alpine, with Cyrus in the past with no problems.
After trying DBMail, installed locally on my home desktop box, I
installed Dovecot locally and tested with similar mailboxes and had no
problems with either Mutt or Alpine.
I'm running DBMail 2.2.11 installed via the ArchLinux package manager.

Odd Behavior Under Mutt
