[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and Outlook
Hello,
I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic
IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running Outlook (one MacOS,
one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My
problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one Outlook client are
not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the
message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in
MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understandthis format, some or all
of this message may not be legible.
--B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="B_3426360453_4099"
--B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain;
charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?
The output from dovecot -n is:
# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
auth_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb {
driver = pam
}
protocols = " imap"
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
Thanks!
PG
