I've been using Dovecot in some fresh installs lately and have found it fairly easy to configure. However I'm starting on a migration that involves moving from some very old software (ancient vpopmail, qmail and Courier). On the Courier front, I've reviewed the migration page in the wiki, and it looks like the main concerns are just matching the namespace and then using the migration

Hi all, I'm trying to replace the "Public Folders" functionality in Exchange server. At first I thought it'd be something easily do-able with an IMAP server so I immediately thought of Dovecot. I setup what I though would work and things started to go a little screwy with subscription settings and the like. I started off by making a public maildir folder (in

Hi All, I'm a newbie trying to move mail out of my ISP onto a ubuntu (lucid) dovecot 1.2.9 server. Is there any way to automatically add folders created by sieve (GNU Mailutils 2.1) to the subscriptions file for a user? I'm currently testing spam, and if sieve created the folder with the first message, the thunderbird user does not see the new folder. Even more interesting, if the user

Hello, Due to Thunderbird's mailbox deletion problem I was able to remove a mailbox while keeping the subscription. This was hugely annoying as Thunderbird is totally incapable of removing the subscription, even though the mailbox is long gone. It took me a while before I found a work around: I had to actually log in and remove a line from the .subscriptions file. You will probably get

My config has folders show up in the root namespace as well as hidden ones like mail/ for compat. In thunderbird when I set the namespace prefix to mail/, I effectively cannot subscribe to folders. You can pull up the folder list, select some folders to subscribe to, hit okay, and nothing changes in thunderbird: 3 subscribe "mail/Spam" 3 OK Subscribe completed. 4 lsub ""

Hi we run dovecot on sun solaris 9. I try to switch from dovecot 0.99.11 to dovecot 1.0, with ssl support turned on. The user's mail are stored in mbox format in Mail in their home dirs. I was not able to get the subscrition working properly with the new dovecot. New means: 1.0beta2 and now also 1.0.RC1 (beta9) The client mailreaders are mainly thunderbird 1.0x and 1.5.x, Netscape Messenger,

Hi, I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL. My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server): /var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public

I had a use lose 20 folders on their mail account. I was able to pull them back from a restore and dumped them all back on the server in her Maildir. The problem is she doesn't see them on her Thunderbird or Outlook client. I checked to make sure I put them back into the correct directory and I did as well as verify permissions aren't weird. I then noticed a file called

I've mostly finished a conversion from an old Centos 3 UW-Imap server to a new Centos 6 dovecot server. I did not copy the old ~/.mailboxlist file to ~/mail/.subscriptions file, but notice some users have the latter file now. These are all mbox folders on the old and new server. I'm getting ready to do the same to another old/new pair of servers and I'm wondering if there is an

Hello people, I am having an issue with 'doveadm sync'. I am currently trying to have two dovecots behind an haproxy (works fine). Therefore I configured these two dovecot server (imap-1/imap-2) to sync throught dsync. This works just partly. The sync of the maiboxes is fine, but the sync of the subscriptions file just works partly. It works for private folder subscription, but not

Just when I started getting the hang of has_and_belongs_to_many relationships, I realize that I should probably convert several of my app''s joins to has_many :through type relationships. One example, pairing users with categories via subscriptions, where each user can be the "owner" of a category, has given me particular trouble when I try to update a user''s

Maybe it's fixed, but the last "interesting" text in the Changelog was before 2.1.6. Most of our users still have mboxes in the classical layout, so you can't have subfolders and messages in the same folder, *except for the INBOX*, as it is physically separate. Someone complained that he saw subfolders in roundcube he couldn't delete, because they didn't show up in the

I have a working Dovecot IMAP server (v. 2.2.9) where I have a single user but a lot of folders (over 800 in total, hierarchically arranged, about 50 of which are in active use.) I have multiple clients (including k9Mail on Android and Thunderbird on Linux and Windows). These clients all present a consistent subscription to a single subset of the available folders . What I'd like to be

Sorry for top posting, my client is still broken. I have never seen the ghost of a "system-alerts" or similar "well-known" mail folder in the past 30 years. Compliance with an RFC obscure feature is compellong us all to clear subscriptions fol ders by hand. As we meet the problem over and over again, a non-RFC configuration option could solve the problem, and it would be

Hello again: I''m hoping that somebody, anybody, can help with this question. How do I make sure that records in a join model are unique? Using the scenario outlined in Chad Fowler''s "Rails Recipies", number 16, "Many to Many Relationships Where the Relationship Iteself Has Data". Here are the tables: create_table :magazines do |t| t.column :title,

Regardless of the mail client no user can modify, move, delete or subscribe an imap folder with Dovecot >1.2.1 (meanwhile 1.2.5).

Hello, I'm using dovecot 1.0.7 and have a problem with subscription files. The documentation says that this file ("subscriptions" or ".subscriptions" in the root of the maildir, I've tried both) holds the informations about the subscribed folders. I've created such a file with these lines: Trash Sent Drafts INBOX.prova INBOX.prova4 And configured a client
