Hi, We are planning to use Dovecot-2.0.5 (Maildir format) as IMAP server. Currently, we are using Postfix+UW-Imap (mbox format) with the following configuration: - Postfix: Sends new messages to /var/mail/user - UW-IMAP: Reads mails from /var/mail/user and moves them to ~/nsmail/mbox Using that configuration, when a user overtakes his HOME?s quota, the MTA is still able to send new messages

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u

I've now upgraded dovecot from 2.0.21 to 2.1.10 and the good news is I no longer see dovecot crashing when loading the snarf plugin however snarf still does not do anything except make the inbox disappear. I've come to the conclusion that either snarf does not actually work, possible, but I doubt it, or more likely I have a configuration issue preventing it from working. The system is

I've been using uw-imap for some time on my linux system and have been running into issues with it so I've decided to move to Dovecote, so far it seems to have solved the issues I've been having however I need/want to move the incoming emails out of /var/spool/mail/{user} in the same (or similar fashion) that uw-imap did, and I found the snarf plugin. However whenever I enable the

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and moves them over fine.

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 see a new "POP3C" lib-storage client backend in dovecot 2.1, but I don't see anything in the 2.1 doc directory or in the wiki. Can this be used to synchronize dovecot with external pop servers? Doing away with my current fetchmail and lmtp solution for this would be quite interesting. Thanks for any pointers to configuring and using this, if so...

I'm getting this error: May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu syslog: PSU mbox-snarf name is INBOX May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu dovecot: Panic: IMAP(tstem38): file istream-mail-stats.c: line 75: assertion failed: (ret != -1 || stream->istream.eof || stream->istream.stream_errno != 0) Will this error go away before the general 1.2 release? Thanks, Jonathan

I use mbox with mbox-snarf plugin. I get errors like: dovecot: IMAP(testuser): Corrupted index cache file /full/path/ dovecot.index.cache: record points outside file The errors can be in either folders or INBOX. I put some syslog statements in src/lib-index/mail-cache-lookup.c to help understand this. if (offset + sizeof(*rec) > cache->mmap_length) {

I'm trying to get the snarf plugin working with dovecot 2.0.7. Specifically, I want to use the UW-IMAP style optional snarfing. I'm looking at the wiki2 documentation. The first question is whether the UW-IMAP optional snarfing will require any changes to the mail_location. The first section suggests (but doesn't specifically state, which I'd propose be clarified) that

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of both

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server

Hi! Dovecot is now a nearly 20 year old product, and during that time it has accumulated many different features and plugins in its core repository. We are starting to gradually remove some of these parts, which are unused, untested or deprecated. We will provide advance notification before removing anything. To start, the following features are likely to be removed in next few releases of

Dear R-devel On my Windows 2000 machine, I can build R-patched but not R-devel (since at least 1/9/2004). An error message pops up during the execution of some R code during "make", as below. In terms of "make" etc., I am totally clueless (not being a user of either Linux or C) and just mechanically follow the instructions in the R documentation; hence I've got no idea

I already wrote to Timo, but I thought some others on this list may have had a similar situation. So here goes: The scenario at Michigan Technological University stems from long standing traditions and policies that probably won't change. That said, two of the policies are 1.)we don't bounce mail and 2.)we guarantee delivery when we accept a piece of mail. The UW IMAP

This is 64bit AIX 5.3. Looking through previous versions of dovecot, I see this warning. I didn't realize this was something bad until today. My environment uses mbox/mbox-snarf plugin.

Hello, With GNU mailutils on Debian 9, we receive mails in /var/mail/<username> but when we read mails with the "mail" command, they are moved in a file ~/mbox: "Saved 1 message in /home/<username>/mbox". I use Roundcube webmail with Dovecot but if I also use use the "mail" command to read emails, Roundcube will not display old messages anymore since they

Hi all, since a few weeks I'm experimenting with some "IMAP forward boxes", but I didn't find a satisfactory solution yet. Target function is a directory structure like following in a shared mailbox: /intern/users/fred /intern/users/ted /intern/users/alice The idea is, that a mail, moved to the directory "/intern/users/fred" via IMAP-client will be forwarded to
