similar to: System users, mbox format and global ACLs

I was going to test 1.1.16 so as to see how it handles global ACLs (in the hope to have a possible comparison with 1.2.0's odd behavior), when I encountered the problem described hereafter. Note that just disabling ACLs is sufficient to get back a fully functional imap binary. So, should there be some plans for a 1.1.17 version, perhaps could the info provided here prove somewhat

My base concern may be illustrated with the help of that simple telnet session: # telnet 127.0.0.1 imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

We're converting UW-IMAP users here to dovecot. Some of them have seen the error message issued when Thunderbird clients try to delete folders and I understand what's going on (from previous postings) that Dovecot doesn't support mbox subfolders within folders. What puzzles me is that many of these users already have folders within folders (I've found typically 2 levels of

Hi, Certain IMAP folder problems started popping up with Squirrelmail with the 1.1beta10 version of Dovecot (and possibly earlier versions). Looked into it and I am seeing odd behavior with the LIST command. Here is how to reproduce problem, unless I'm missing something obvious: a001 login dean <password> a001 OK Logged in. a002 list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked)

In prepping our IMAP migration to Dovecot, I've hit upon a small issue: the "IMAP server directory" which Thunderbird users have set in the "advanced" prefs. Our old IMAP server seems to set your current directory to ~. This wound up causing users to set their IMAP server directory to "/home/<user>/mail/" so that their mailboxes would be found: --> A104

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a

Hi all, I've been experimenting with Dovecot; tests with Maildir seemed to work fine. However, now I'm trying with mbox folders, and I'm having a problem where I do not get an INBOX listed using pine. Outlook Express and IMP show it fine. I snooped part of the session, which appears to go like this (it is slightly garbled, sorry -- I couldn't get rawlog to work by creating

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

In a formerly working environment suddenly clients aren't notified of new emails and can't retrieve new emails. Server is Ubuntu 11.04 dovecot 1.2.15. Clients which fail are a Pre2 webOS 2.1 and TouchPad webOS 3.0 (those are OS versions, I don't know which particular flavor/version the IMAP clients are); there is also a Thunderbird 3.1.11 client on the same system as the server which

Hi, I am having problems with Dovecot 1.0.3 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 when using a new user account without any mbox files present. Directory /home/$user/.imap_mail/ does not exist when Thunderbird first tries to login using IMAP to the account. On login this directory is created with a zero byte Trash file and .subscriptions containing string "Trash", so far, so good. Now I create a

I'd like to configure my dovecot service to use the IMAP SPECIAL-USE extension, but have a few questions for those who have used them, or are knowledgable about its use. Using this configuration as an example, namespace { ... mailbox xxx { special_use = \Sent } } Q1) Am I correct that mail client that don't understand SPECIAL-USE extentions will behave the same way with

Hello, After upgrading from 1.2.x to 2.0.x I'm having problems using sent folder in Webmail applications like roundcube mail and squirrelmail.

Hi, using ACL plugin with dovecot 1.1.1 I expected that a Maildir was listed as * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "Foldername" if "create" (k) permission is not set in ACLs and there doesn't exists any subfolders. But to my surprise, dovecot gives the following output: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Foldername" Therefore the client (here:

Hello all, I am trying to figure out why I am can't seem to access any of my mailboxes that I moved from my OS X machine using UW-IMAP and I followed the directions on the wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MissingMailboxes) to try and figure this out. I believe based on what I saw that my client seems to be the problem, but my question is. Can anyone tell me what the difference between

I'm still battling my way through using hidden namespaces to hide the change from UW-IMAP to Dovecot 1.0-stable from my users. The latest problem is that some (probably many) users have their IMAP folder prefix set to "~/mail" rather than "~/mail/". I have hidden namespaces with prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/". LIST

I've just switched from UW-IMAP to Dovecot v1.1.beta16, and I'm having a bit of a problem with a difference in the behaviour of the LIST command.
