Hi, I am almost ready to convert from UW-imap to dovecot 1.0 stable for my imap use. I hacked UW-imap to touch a file in the user's home directory so I can always tell the last time they used imap. My hack looks something like this: if(authenticated) { touchfile = (char *) malloc((strlen (home) + 15); sprintf(touchfile,"%s/.imapd.last",homedir); fd = open(touchfile,O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC,0600); if(fd < 0) syslog (LOG_NOTICE|LOG_AUTH,"touchfile failed for %s:%s",user,strerror(errno)); else close(fd); free(touchfile); } Where to do this in the dovecot code? Is there something like this already available? I realize that the index/cache files contain last-access data, but if the cache files become corrupted and have to be removed, then this last-access information is lost. I would like something independent of the cache files. Advice please... Jeff Earickson Colby College

Another way would be to change imap_executable setting in config file to some wrapper script/executable which does this and then execs Dovecot's imap process.
