Hi Brent,
I use Squirrelmail in a large scale (11k users) setup as a front-end to
an IMAP server. I actually use courier-imap on this setup.
There are other setups I have done for customers where I use dovecot.
Squirrelmail is a _frontend_, to an IMAP server, just like Thunderbird
can be either a front-end to an IMAP server or POP3 server. Well, I
used Thunderbird ages ago, so I may not know much, but your problem,
in my own thinking, has got something to do with Thunderbird.
In an IMAP server. using Maildir++ compatibility, mail is organized
as:
Maildir/{cur,new,tmp}
cur - contains mail that has been accessed and marked as read.
new contains - unseen/unread mail
tmp - is a transitional directory, I believe.
If you create a folder, depending on the configuration or your client,
a directory .Folder_name/{cur,new,tmp) is created as a directory within
Maildir/. If you move mail to this folder, it get stored in .Folder/cur
(since you've "seen" the mail).
Now, squirrelmail allows you very fine-tuned configuration about your
folder layout, when you click on the "Folders" link.
I suspect that you have chosen a configuration in squirrelmail that
puts the mail in a folder where TB doesn't see it. Try to look at the
way you manage your folders using SM and also look deeply into TB's
options. I believe you've configured it in IMAP mode.
