Hey- Just wanna say that I'm really happy with Dovecot, it has worked
really well for my small operation. I do have a couple problems I'd just
like to bring to everyone's attention for future bugfixes and if there is a
solution available. I'm using dovecot-0.99.10-6 with a clean fedora core 1
install. I'm using primarily IMAP with OpenSSL, however a few people use
POP3 (over SSL) with outlook 2002 clients. The problem is that with each
send and receive another copy of all messages in their Inboxes are
downloaded. I have tried closing outlook restarting it etc. nothing seems
to help unless I tell outlook to remove all messages from the server then
outlook responds with "messages that outlook was attempting to download are
no longer on the server." And problem solved. Not a huge deal but others
with similar setups may be experiencing the same problems. I have postfix
for my MTA, every account uses Maildir. Attached is my dovecot.conf.
Thanks a lot!!!
-Paul

How were you expecting it to behave differently? -- Brian T Glenn delink.net Internet Services -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The correct behavior should be to only download the new message.from doing a search on dovecot and uidl, it seems that dovecot supports these functions, which is the standard way for a pop3 server to announce unique checksums of messages. Whether or not your client software supports this is another matter. -- Brian T Glenn delink.net Internet Services -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
