[imp] IMP does not show new messages.

[Satish Vanimisetti]

Hi,

I have this strange problem with IMP that I'm unable to pinpoint.
I am using IMP-4.3 with Horde-3.3, with UW-IMAP-2006j.  imapd is
patched with the patch listed here:
http://wiki.horde.org/ImpUWIMAPNamespaces

Mail is setup to be delivered to /var/mail/<user>, and is moved to
/users/<user>/mbox by the imapd mbox driver.

Everything works fine when the user first logs in.  The mail from
/var/mail gets moved to mbox, and IMP shows an up-to-date message
list.  However,
1. Subsequent mail delivered to /var/mail is not moved to mbox.
2. Strangely enough, the mail in /var/mail is counted, and IMP
   shows the correct new message count.  But the messages are
   not listed.
3. If I select a message, delete, and expunge, the message list
   updates to show the new messages.  Logging out and back in
   updates the list.  However, using the refresh button, or
   refreshing the page, or clicking the INBOX link do not work.

This behavior is not seen with other mail clients.  I usually check
with Pine, and my message list is refreshed whenever Pine finds new
messages.  Thunderbird also shows me new messages.

I found some cache settings for IMP which I disabled:
$conf['server']['cache_folders'] = false;
$conf['msgcache']['use_msgcache'] = false;
$conf['mlistcache']['use_mlistcache'] = false;

And, just in case:
$conf['server']['cachejs'] = 'none';
$conf['server']['cachecss'] = 'none';

Is there anything else I could be checking?

Thanks,
