I ran into this bug today with Apple mail and Dovecot\/Imap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was trying to delete a lot of email and it would go away and then a few seconds come right back. Sometimes it would stick, most times it would come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digging deep into this, I discovered that dovecot creates a mail\/.imap cache directory. Looking in the mail logs I noticed that there was a an error about index corruption on the cache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simple solution is to stop dovecot, deleted the entire .imap directory and restart dovecot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will require the client to re-sync the cache (so it might take awhile if you have a lot of mail or folders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my case, this appears to have resolved the problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
