I spent most of today adding new content to the Wiki and cleaning up the existing content. The front page is now also reorganized, but there are several links in it to pages which are still missing. Please write them. :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks Timo! I've spend most of today to read and understand it ;-/ When I know the answers to all the questions I still have, I might jump in and try to write a few wiki pages.... For the moment I can't get my real users (local accounts) to access their Maildir/ via IMAP. Virtual accounts seem to work now. I use an XP Outlook client for testing. For some strange reason I couldn'd tell Evolution where to look for the Maildir/ (which is in $HOME/Maildir). It will probably be my own ignorance; I started with Dovecot just 3 days ago... Keep up the good work!

What I'm still missing is a way to use a OpenLDAP installation on a remote server as password and user db. A few months ago I got an answer here that in dovecot-ldap.conf instead of the hosts keyword I could use uris and then write something like uris=ldaps://my.server.domain That didn't work for me in RC7 and I also couldn't find any documentation about that anywhere. And (that's the reason I'm writing that here) online documentation on Dovecot with LDAP is sparse in general. J?rgen
Hi list! (cc to Jerome of Mandriva.org) I'm fighting to get dovecot rc12 working on Mandriva 2007.0 with Postfix 2.3.3. Postfix works fine for both system and virtual users. Mail is delivered in the correct Maildirs. System users have /home/user/Maildir/ and virtual users have /home/virtual/domain.tld/user/. I think I've build and installed correct rpm's using the Cooker src.rpm (by Jerome) for rc7 modified by me for rc12. My problem is to get a working dovecot.conf file. Apart from all relocated file locations in Mandriva (/usr instead of /usr/local and other less obvious changes), I want to use imap (and later imaps) with local real system users. I'm completely lost here. Whatever I think is right syntax in dovecot.conf, is immediately leading to problems. Dovecot refuses to start. The doc in the dovecot.conf is rather chaotic, imho. Could somebody give me a WORKING example of the userdb and passdb setting for ordinary imap to the Maildir in /home/user of an ordinairy system user, please? Later on I hope to be able to add MySql lookup of virtual users myself... TIA Egbert Jan (NL)
