UIDL documentation
Hi,
I see this in the 1.0-beta7 dovecot-example.conf file:
# If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use:

From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file:

# Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format

good

dovecot 1.0.15 upgrading to dovecot 1.1.x or 1.2.x, and POP3 UIDL issue
Hi,
We're upgrading a cluster of servers from v1.0.15 to
v1.1.x or v1.2.x. It appears that the UIDL generation mechanism
has changed, and thus we'll be getting POP3 dups with users
that leave mail on server (which is a nasty practice, I know).
From checking the sources, and performing a number of controlled
tests in various scenarios, here is the outcome:

Changing pop3_uidl_format
I recently set up an OpenBSD - Dovecot mail server for a client. Naturally
(according to Murphy's Law) they want to use Outlook 2003, pop3s, and leave
messages on the server. And just as naturally, the UIDLs don't seem to be
working, and when they download mail, they get EVERY email stored on the
server, not just the new ones.
Other than switching them over to IMAP, I found the

Migration Issues UW-POP3
I am migrating from UW's POP3 server (mbox), to Dovecote (mbox -> maildir).
Anyway, I am concerned about the Logging details offered by Dovecot, as
I manage several details from the logging information provided by UW's
Syslog information. Here's a sample of the UW information:
Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: pop3 service init from 66.207.133.233

migrating from maildir to mdbox, preserving pop3 UIDL
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate from maildir to mdbox while preserving the pop3 UIDL (and the imap UID).
The problem is, for maildir we use (for compatiblity with qpopper):
pop3_uidl_format = %f
Problem is, as soon as I convert that to mdbox, then whenever a client issues the UIDL command via a POP connection, the connection is closed and this error is displayed in the log:

Problems with POP3 UIDL when migrating from MBOX to Maildir
Hello,
I am in the process of migrating a hosting setup from UW-IMAP to
Dovecot. The protocols available to mail clients are IMAP and POP3
both before and after migration. I also wanted to change the mail
storage format from MBOX to Maildir. However, at this point I hit a
major snag with Dovecot and POP3 UIDL (unique identification listing
for POP3 mailboxes).

POP3 extension to accept UIDL ranges?
Greetings,
is anybody aware of an extension to POP3 that supports UIDL ranges?
It would be very useful for keep-messages-on-server setups (yes, I know,
IMAP4 domain) to be able to do UIDL 21-42 to obtain just these 22 UIDs
(this would always have to be a multi-line reply, just like UIDL without
argument).
If such a thing does not exist yet, perhaps a keyword such as
"[X]UIDLRANGES" in

Dovecots pop3-UIDL command impl. not RFC compliant ?
Hi !
POP3-RFC (1939) speaks about UIDL command:
The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined
string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21
to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which
persists across sessions.
When I issue an UIDL command (dovecot 0.99.10.9)
I get replies like
1 1093990148.1
2 1093990148.2
3 1093990148.3

UIDL format for old UW pop3
Hi,
we're trying to migrate from UW imap 2001a-10, which doesn't seem to use the
UIDL format documented in the wiki. It seems to use a 16 character long MD5
hash of something. I've tried configuring Dovecot to do the same but the
value comes out differently.
The main thing that I can see is getting in the way is that the UIDL format
is not documented sufficiently. There is no

Fatal: Can't finish POP3 UIDL command
I have been setting up a new mail server and copied our client's old mail to
it. The old server has Courier (under Plesk), we're using Dovecot on the new
server.
Most accounts seem to work fine (under IMAP or POP3), but for a few we're
getting the following in the /var/log/mail.err.

POP3 UIDL
I have installed rc22 and tried it with my mbox-based mail - fine.
Then I converted that mbox to Maildir to see if new feature (saving
state without QUIT) works -
first run - I get time out. Second run - I get rest of the Maildir
scanned and get into mailbox. Fine.

migrating POP3 from UW IMAP: X-UIDL and X-UID
With a INBOX mbox created by UW IMAP
the messages in INBOX mbox contains the X-UIDL field
When I use Dovecot POP3 with
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu
on the first run, X-UID is inserted, but all messages are downloaded again.
What am I missing, I don't want the clients to download the
read messages again.

sendmail + dovecot + vpopmail + virtual users, problem with pop3 uidl
Hi,
I just migrated a server running qmail+vpopmail+maildir to
sendmail+dovecot+maildir+vpopmail
The migrating is working great thanks to the help from the list and the
wiki.
I'm now running the infamous problem about duplicating emails, because
of pop3 UIDL mismatch.
My question is: anyone knows that the pop3_uidl_format string for
a vpopmail server?

Hi Aki, thanks for the CVE.? For quick mitigation, can you confirm how
to disable these plugins and what they provide?? We'd like to assess if
we are using them while we rollout the fix.

Sorry if I'm dense but can you be more specific?? Are you talking about
checking conf files or binary files??
For example, does the existence of
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so imply an exploitable situation??
Are their settings in a conf file that

courier-dovecot-migrate.pl maintaining order of pop3 uidl's
Hi there,
I've just been experimenting with the latest courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
script and I notice that it favours keeping pop3 UIDL ordering rather
than IMAP UID preservation. There is this comment (line 312):
# POP3 clients may want to get POP3 UIDLs in the same order always.
# Preserve the order even if it causes IMAP UIDs to change.

POP3 UIDLs with virtual INBOX and migration from maildir->mdbox
Hi,
Considering the scenario, where you have some old account with a
different POP3 UIDL format and you migrate them to dovecot.
So these old UIDLs would be saved to dovecot-uidlist.
At some later time you want to introduce a virtual POP3 INBOX like
described on:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual
So you decide to make the new UIDL format "%f" - to make them unique
