Unchecking the Cumluative setting didn't solve it after all, so I'm seeing the count creep up after just a couple days. I've been using IMAP-based email solutions on my own email server for over 15 years, and a cursory check (ls -R|wc -l) shows I have 8540 separate folders (lines; some aren't folders). I've found 15 duplicate names, so am going through and either combining them, or renaming them, whichever is appropriate. If renaming some of the folders (none of the duplicates were in the same location) doesn't solve it, I'm wondering if a buffer overrun might be the problem with that many folders. I wrote a script some time ago that goes through a folder (from the commandline) and marks all messages as having been opened (Read). I do that on older folders because I suspected at the time of writing it that Alpine and Squirrelmail were 'fighting' over how to actually mark a message as having been read. From what I'm learning, that's a function of Dovecot, right? The email client sends an IMAP command and Dovecot marks the message as opened/read, right? But I still have the question as why using the Squirrelmail 'Search' feature would cause the unread count to be reset to 0 (even when there are some unread emails). I'm running the MarkEmailRead.sh script against some folders and it takes some time, so I think I'll head to bed and let it finish... Thanks for your help so far. Hopefully this can be solved.
