icedove/yahoo imap: messages marked as read & filters not run on inbox

June 10th, 2011 - 04:20 pm ET by Nicolas Bercher | Report spam
Hi,

I recently set up my yahoo.fr account (this one) as an *imap* mailbox under thunderbird.
I've waited a long time for this to happen and with the success of smart phones, it seems
that yahoo enabled an imap server, but didn't communicate that much for regular users (the
one who got their accounts without smart phones).

However, I have two issues that might concern many people here that uses icedove and have
yahoo mailboxes:

1. Near every messages that arrive into inbox and are marked as read, but not all of
them. This seems to be an imap side-problem: my account was freshly set up and I never
saw this before with account from other imap providers (and of course I've check icedove
config many times).

2. Mail filters I defined (on the icedove side) doesn't work automatically (again, I've
check configuration many times) and I have to run "alt-t r" to manually apply the filters
on inbox.

So, do you (smart people) see anything special here, have experience with yahoo imap and
so on?

Thank a lot,

Nicolas

Are you sure nothing else is reading the messages? I don't have yahoo
imap, but I know that if I read the messages on my phone, they'll show
up as read the next time I check in Thunderbird.

Solving number 1 will solve this. Thunderbird (and Icedove) only
automatically apply filters to new messages. Any messages I read
through my phone and/or webmail will not be filtered automatically. I
need to run filters to do that.

Thanks for the filter shortcut, I've been meaning to look that up.
