Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 0.99.14-1 Severity: important Hi, I think I've identified a bug in Dovecot 0.99.14 as packaged and distributed by Debian Sarge. I believe the bug lies in the original Dovecot source, not with any modifications made by Debian. Specifically, this bug deals with Dovecot's handling of message unique identifiers (UIDs) for IMAP clients when using the mbox

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any

Now that sarge has been released, I have as requested moved Debians' Dovecot packages to the 1.0stable branch. Most of the work was actually done by Fabio Tranchitella who is joining me as co-maintainer. The new packages should be available in sid later today. A backport to sarge will also be provided as soon as I can get around to it. Please report all problems to the Debian bug

Yesterday, I upgraded my debian packages from 0.99.14 to 0.99.20050712-2. IMAP service has not been reliable since, and I was seeing crashes with one user. I tried deleting the user's .subscriptions and .imap folders, and forcing the client (Mac OS X's Mail.app) to redownload everything, but that resulted in an empty inbox. Here's what I have: # dpkg -l dovecot*

Hi, I'm the Debian maintainer of UW-Imap. Like many I'm somewhat frustrated with the limitations of it so I am very pleased to see that Dovecot is becoming a strong alternative. I have uploaded packages of 0.99.4 to the Debian unstable distribution (sid). Because this is a new package it has to be added by hand so it may be a while before it shows up in sid. In the mean time, I have

I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I

Dear Timo, What do you think of this? Fyi, I've been getting the same thing lately and I'm wondering if gnutls is to blame? (i've had inexlicable SIGSEGVs in other apps before due to it.) Tomorrow I'll try with openssl but I was wondering if you had any other ideas? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

I finally got some free time and uploaded 1.0alpha4. It will arrive in the archive by tomorrow afternoon. Together with the most recent libssl0.9.8 upgrade I think this will fix the SSL problems users have been facing. -- Jaldhar H.

In what must surely be the first sign of the apocalypse, Debian is actually freezing in preperation for a new release. Probably the last day for uploads will be August 17. Is there likely to be another dovecot release by then? In the event of 0.99.10.9 being the released version, are there any other patches Debian users would like me to include? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at

I've packaged 0.99.10.4. Owing to the continued downtime on the Debian servers, I've temporarily put the .debs up on my own site. The URL is http://www.braincells.com/debian/ A backport to woody is also available. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Well, the backports.org people finally installed my backport of the latest stable version of dovecot.

Today I upgraded my Debian testing server (just personal testing server), and one of the updates was dovecot-common and dovecote-imapd. I passed through the dovecot.conf file changing things so that I would have similar features as before, and everything looked OK. Now, after restarting, and all, I try to connect the the imap server with my user acount, and it passes OK, but when I try to see

[Amelia and Timo. As you are both on the dovecot list, I'm replying there to avoid cluttering up your inboxes.] This bug was reported to Debian but I feel it should be fixed upstream. Adding logging in th init script itself would require adding additional dependencies to the package and not be as convenient. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amelia A Lewis <amyzing at

I uploaded 0.99.10.6 to sid. Owing to the importance of the dot lock fix, I've tried to have this pushed to sarge quickly. Let's see how that goes. I've prepared a backport of 0.99.10.6 to woody which should be showing up on www.backports.org soon hopefully. In the meantime, if you desperately need it and don't mind working out dependencies yourself, you can find it at

As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches: * segfault when user home directory is empty * Proper PAM service name * Make suid work on 2.6 kernels Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a
