Hi,
i got a problem with a cyrus, postfix, fetchmail configuration on my
server.
Well the story is simple and maybe the answer, too.
Iīm using following configuration and i hope i donīt forget anything.
I got postfix 2.0 installed, with cyrus imap 2 on a freebsd 4.10 system.
The simpliest thing i want to do is fetchmail from my isp mails and put
it to my cyrus imap folder.
And it works, but now comes my question:
When i do fetchmail first time my isp mailserver the mails will be
delivered to my cyrus imap folder.
So long everything is oki, but sometimes iīm a stupid boy a delete some
mails in the imap folder that after a week or so i want to read again.
I was so smart to not let fetchmail delete my mails (keep) and than
comes it the way i canīt explain to myself.
When i do a second fetchmail to the isp server the old mails iīve
already delete in the cyrus imap folder will not be saved again ???
Y that ?
Is there something i donīt get into my mind or is this the way cyrus
handles the imap folder ? Deleted mails will never come through cyrus
to my imap folder again ???
Can somebody explain it to me or give me just a hint to an RFC where i
can find the answer ?
No RFC needed here. Just think what would happen if every mail was fetched
again by fetchmail if you delete it from you INBOX or move it aways from
there, maybe to a shared folder or a subfolder of your own. It doesn't
matter what you do with a mail after it has been delivered to a mailbox,
it just matters whether it already _has_ been delivered to a mailbox.

Oki thats right my folder would get an overflow. But how does cyrus
remember that ? Can i manipulate the Databases cyrus made in the folder
so that it would be possible to deliver a mail again ?
