[Dovecot] AppleMail 1.3 filter problem [solved] / fc5 package of 1.0rc7
Hi, Folks, I recently migrated from courier-imapd to dovecot when I migrated a machine from rh9 to fc5. I managed to hit a snag with the 1.0b8 version of dovecot that's currently in fc5. With AppleMail 1.3 I was seeing most of my incoming mail go missing. To make a long story short, AppleMail was applying mail filters inappropriately (walking right past a 'stop processing' rule and moving my incoming mail into folders specified for Act-On actions). This made the AppleMail 1.3 client unusable with 1.0b8. Before complaining here I figured I ought to try the current version, and, sure enough, 1.0rc7 fails to cause AppleMail to go insane like 1.0b8 did. I'm not sure which change between b8 and rc7 is the important one, but rc7 seems to work well. I saw the pointer on the Wiki to the ATRPM's repository which had a current RPM, but looking at the included patches in their SRPM they seem to be doing things somewhat differently than the Fedora guys are (default settings, etc.), so, I figured for my machine I'd rather stay as close to the Fedora methodology to make future upgrades perhaps less painful. To that end I took the SRPM for b8 from fc5 and modified it as little as possible to make it work with 1.0rc7. One bugfix patch was left out as that seems to have been fixed in the Dovecot source during the interim period. I put the resulting RPM and SRPM up here: http://bfccomputing.com/downloads/dovecot/ in case anybody wants to use it, review it, merge it into Fedora Core, their repo, etc. I'm neither an RPM packing nor Dovecot source expert and I've only tested it lightly, but I'm using it currently and haven't seen problems. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 bill at bfccomputing.com Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf
