Hi, We would like to switch from courier-imap to dovecot. I have installed dovecot on a machine running FreeBSD 6.3 and now testing it. My questions are below: 1. Can I configure dovecot to delete all files that are older, say 10 days, from defined mail boxes (for example Trash or Spam). 2. After I access mail box (using web mail squirrel imap) all emails moved from 'new' directory to 'cur'. Then messages are not accessible for pop3. Such behavor doesn't occur with courier-imap. Can I force dovecot to behave like courier-imap? Many thanks for help. Dien Phan

If you're using Dovecot for both POP3 and IMAP, your mail client will be able to see all the mail no matter which protocol you access it with. However, your mail client may be ignoring mail that's been "Seen". I'm not sure why courier would behave differently with this. Have you read the migration guide? http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier> Many thanks for help. > Dien Phan-- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net

Hi
I have been getting messages like this in my log for a long time
(years). I thought it was due to an early beta Dovecot that I installed
which had lda-deliver and sieve support, or perhaps saturation of my
400mhz machine.
I finally moved to a healthier machine (dual core 1.8Ghz. 3Gb) for my
gateway functions, upgrading to Fedora 8 with a distribution sanctioned
version of Dovecot.
[user1 at hoho4 ~]$ rpm -q dovecot -> dovecot-1.0.13-6.fc8
[user1 at hoho4 ~]$ rpm -q dovecot-sieve -> dovecot-sieve-1.0.2-6.fc8
I recently went through and did a selinux relabel as well (those
messages have stopped..)
However, I am still getting corrupted index messages.
I don't think I am losing email, but the messages are a concern.
What can I do?
