I've read about one month back this list's messages. I've still 216
messages from this year marked as "unread" which I should look into
more
(+258 older ones). Also I've 180 "unread" messages in my INBOX
also
which might contain something useful. So those messages could still
contain something that should be added to this list.
Anyway looking at my current TODO, I think the following things should
be fixed before v1.0. Additions, comments, patches and such welcome. :)
Help would be welcome in checking if these bugs are still there:
- Thunderbird+POP3 DELE error. Was this fixed already? Could someone try
this? See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-June/007497.html
and the rest of the thread. Basically put thousands of messages into
mailbox, start downloading them and see if error comes.
- Solaris sendfile is broken? Is it? Can someone try? You can test it
with maildir by setting mail_save_crlf=yes, saving a somewhat large
mail and FETCHing it (and truss that it really uses sendfile)
- passdb passwd + passdb shadow -> passdb_password isn't reset to NULL
(ie. probably doesn't allow logging in if the shadow password is
correct?)
- maildir: rename foo foo.xyz -> infinite loop possible? (doesn't seem
so?
why did I think it could be? look at the code)
Important:
- dict-server should have some config file which lists the allowed dicts
- LDA: empty mail gives an error.
- deliver: delivering mail to box smaller than mbox_min_index_size give
close() errors
- mbox: CRLFs in headers break the mbox
- index: when mailbox is deleted/renamed and someone else had it open, we get
stat() error messages in log file. Handle at least the most common places
where it happens.
- lib-storage
- limit folder hierarchy levels? user can now create eg. a/a/a/a/...
and then start renaming them from end to beginning, which probably will
at some point start causing syscall failures which will fill up logs.
Probably should be done:
- mbox: dirty mode should be stored to index
- quota code should probably be always doing some quota_set_critical()
instead of using mail_storage_set_critical(), so that quota_last_error()
would work properly
- rfc2557 support for BODYSTRUCTURE, as specified by RFC3501
- keywords: add some limits to how many there can be
- don't return \* in PERMANENTFLAGS when we're full
- mbox: how well does dirty sync + status work? it reads the last mail every
time? not very good..
- maildir: we probably shouldn't do duplicate detection/fixing?.. or at
least
stat() the old file before trying, because we might have just previously
seen the old file and then new file and then we try to fix it..

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Please test the latest nightly snapshot (or CVS directly). I did a lot of changes today and I'd want to release beta9 soon. And I guess I should after that do a rc1 release instead of beta10. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't know what caused it but it didn't happen again with this release (and hopefully newer ones that we haven't installed yet). I successfully downloaded more than 5000 messages through pop3 at once. Regards Marten
hi,
What about epoll and inotify on linux?

Thunderbird does not check this and consequently tries to delete the same message twice. I checked that it worked when you fixed it. (BTW. We are now running beta7 in production :-) Thanks, Jens ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 'In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

Additions, comments, patches and such welcome. :)Just in case it got lost, I'll repeat the request for a mode where mail delivery normally happens in mbox format but users can optionally have maildir storage and dovecot would transparently move system deliveries into the maildir INBOX. Pop users who download/delete probably wouldn't bother, imap users with large mailboxes probably would. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@gmail.com
Hi Timo, I'd like to add complete Public Shared Folders for virtual users (as discussed previously on list) to the wish list. Main problems with ACL implementation currently are: 1) Namespace prefixes are currently ignored, therefore vfile global acl's must be used which are less flexible 2) Unable to use anything more than lrwsiea acl listing in vfile. Adding any more of the ACLs, for example k, dovecot reports: dovecot: IMAP(user1@domain.com): ACL file /etc/dovecot-acls/Management line 1: Unknown ACL 'k' 3) Global ACLs stop other non-ACL restricted public namespace directories working (in my configuration) UPDATE: apparently 2) is fixed with b8 but I haven't had a chance to test.
