Hello list,
i use dovecot 2.2.18 compiled on my own and want to report an odd
behaviour when using a folder for special_use \Archive. In my case it is
not working when using some special foldernames (mbox). I compared to
version 2.2.15 which i found pre-packaged on launchpad.net, same
behaviour. All other special_use Folder work like expected.
My situation:
We authenticate users using mysql-db. also we allow users to store
individuell special_use settings in db. this is a way which was
recommended by this mailinglist some years ago.
we use a password_query like this:
password_query = SELECT `inbox` as `user`, `password`, `home` as
userdb_home, `uid` AS userdb_uid, `gid` AS userdb_gid, `userdb_import`
AS userdb_userdb_import FROM `mail_users` WHERE `login` = '%u' AND
`active`='Y'
typical column in db looks like this:
| username | cryptedpass | path | inboxname | uid | gid |
Y | namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sent
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Gesendet
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\Sent
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Drafts
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/name=Entw??rfe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/special_use=\Drafts
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Trash
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/name=Papierkorb
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/special_use=\Trash
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/name=Spam
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/special_use=\Junk
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive |
Now i noticed that in this case the folder Archiv was not binded to
special_use \Archive:
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Junk) "/" Spam
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Drafts) "/" Entw&APw-rfe
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Sent) "/" Gesendet
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Trash) "/" Papierkorb
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" Archiv
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX
If i change the name of folder which is binded to special_use \Archive
its working again, no other changes:
* LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Archive) "/" Archiviu
or a shorter one:
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Archive) "/" Arc
It works in most cases, it is not working if i have chosen name
"Archiv". It seems also that autocreating of folder is not working if
name is "Archiv".
I activated the debug settings but was not helpful. Looks the same in
all cases:
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Arc
Debug: Added userdb setting:
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive
or:
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiviu
Debug: Added userdb setting:
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive
or the not working one:
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe
Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv
Debug: Added userdb setting:
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive
I have no idea what is going wrong here. I have no further hints in my
logs.
What to do now? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Hajo
