Whilst this isn't a showstopper (and I can get around it by disabling the size column in the folder list), I'm wondering if anyone else on the list is running a similar setup and may have noticed this behaviour (perhaps even with a different IMAP server)?
I'am seeing the same problem with my email providers's IMAP server, which calls itself " GMX IMAP4 StreamProxy ". So it doesn't seem to be a dovecot problem. And no, compressing the (sub)folder after moving/deleting emails from that folder doesn't change anything, the size remains the same.
KMail version is 1.96 enterprise 0070904.708012 KDE 3.5.8 release 22.3 openSUSE
With further investigation I have come to the conclusion that, when talking to an IMAP server (or, at least, a dovecot IMAP server using Maildirs for mail storage), the folder sizes shown in the folder list have no connection whatsoever with the amount of data actually stored in the relevant folder. A quick comparison of the output of du -h and the folder sizes in KMail confirm that. du -h 172K ./.APRS-Sig/cur KMail says 1.6kB 336K ./.Xastir/cur KMail says 1.6kB 452K ./.Repeater_Builder/cur Kmail says 2.2kB 20K ./.Yaesu-FT8900/cur Kmail says 1.2kB (with a 22kB email) 1.1M ./.OpenSuse/cur Kmail says 292.8kB 8.0K ./cur This is the Imap inbox - KMail says 916.2kB (with no mail) 11M ./.Laura/cur Kmail says 38kB 812K ./.Comics/cur Kmail says 27.4kB 136K ./.Radio_Mods/cur Kmail says 1.8kB This is just some of the maildir folders with read mail in them. Since the same symptoms occur with other IMAP implementations I would agree with Markus - it does not appear to be a dovecot-specific problem.
