It seems you are not using Dovecot with Maildir++. What are you using as mail_location in your dovecot.conf ? You could try creating a nnmairix server without Maildir++. This should at least get you the search results in the correct group. Maybe this does also fix your message count problem - I'm not sure what's the problem here. Regards, David
