I am at wits end...So far it seems dovecot is light years ahead of UW-IMAP.
Glad to have UW-IMAP behind me...well almost.
My setup = Sendmail 8.13.4 with Procmail delivery to
/var/spool/mail/<userfile>
openssl 0.9.8
dovecot 0.99.11
I want to continue to use the standard mbox with all the user's mail stored
in /var/spool/mail/<userfile>. User's are known to this mail server
via NIS and ALL data is mounted accress NFS in read only mode on this machine,
including ~home directories. I want to run dovecot like UW-IMAP...trying to
keep it simple-->mail delivery to mbox /var/spool/mail/<username>.
My /etc/dovecot.conf:
I tried both default_ mail_env = INBOX:/var/spool/mail/%u:INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY
with and with out the INBOX:INDEX=MEMORY
I want to disable the indicies feature. We don't need it we're about 20
engineers or so who want to continue to use the /var/spool/mail mbox-the
original Sendmail location.
Most users are downloading every piece of mail through OutHouse or Pine, aka
OutLook.
I keep getting failed to create storage meaages in /var/log/maillog...
