[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!
