What is the function of the X-UID header in mbox format? Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 seems to regard it as a simple numbering of the messages; i.e., that the first message in the mbox should have X-UID: 1. Dovecot seems to treat it simply as an ordered unique identifier. Thus, the first message in my actual mbox has X-UID: 3849658. (There are only a few dozen messages in the box.) Running

Hi, i am new to dovecot and i don't know what i can do with the "auth_executable" setting in the "dovecot.conf" file. Can i invoke an external program for authentification? If yes, is there a description what this program/script has to do? Thanks Helmut

I have read and read the dovecot docs on maildir folders and think that this is what I want. However, the MUA programs that I use, SylpheedClaws, Evolution, Mozilla seem to react differently to how I setup the folders. Is there a good FAQ on this subject somewhere? I think that I want to setup a virtual domain and am looking for documents. Alex

Hi all, attached is a patch against 0.99.10.4 that fixes the STAT, LIST and UIDL POP3 command output in the case that they're issued after one or more messages have been deleted.

How is the Changelog file created? I assume there is a tool which grabs this information from the CVS repository. What's the name of this tool? Sven

Hi, I have noticed that imap.index.data are often too large files (several MiBs). Is there a way to limit their size or to shrink dimension or to assign another directory where those file are stored? thank you will

Am tryin to move from uw-imapd to dovecot, using dovecot ver 0.99.10.4. Reading with Mozilla Mail v 1.4. I made some test accounts and they seem to be working fine, but my older existing accounts give error messages whenever I connect or subscribe to mailboxes within them. The message that appears on the client is: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid

We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME. vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too? /etc/dovecot.conf: [...] auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain

Hi people! We are deploying a new scenario for out University, mostly based in Samba. The purpose is the use of a single password for every service. But we have found a little problem. The ADS are a cluster of 3 Win2003 servers. The file servers are RHAS3.0, and all the clients are dual boot pc Win/Linux, and use winbind for authentication. The idea is to export the file to the Linux clients

Hi I've searched the archives but did not spot this particular issue there. Config. RH8, Samba 3.0.2a. Auth via smbpasswd. I have a small office network where one of the accounts has had there password expire and resetting the password just went round in loops. I've tried removing the password synching from smb.conf and removing the user from smbpasswd and re-creating their account

Hi I tried to log in on the Samba server as a normal user but failed . The followingKDE error message displayed out; "could not read network connection list /home/<user>/.DCOPserver_linux-server_0 Check to see if DCOPserver program is running" ANYbody to help me out of this problem? Thanks. RGDS, SEGIE.

Hi. I had seen a posting from another user with the same issue. Here's question 1: For some reason when the guest account = guest, browsing is not possible. When set to guest = root, no problem. I'm not sure what this guy did to fix it but I'd love find out... Here's question 2: Unfortunately, I am using XP for work on a laptop. The 'top belongs in the company's

I'm currently using mbox and mbx with UW-IMAP, mbox for space efficiency and mbx for folders with lots of messages for time efficiency without a large space cost. I've avoided maildir because it has a relatively high space cost; mbox has no inter-message cost while maildir wastes on average half a sector plus an inode for each message. What other formats are there, and has anyone come

Hi I have noticed the following behaviour: If I get a kerberos ticket as a domain admin user using kinit and then do a net join to an ADS domain, then this works fine and net ads testjoin and net ads leave work too. However if I do it as a user with full control on a particular ou within the AD tree, net join gives the following: net join "/Global Administration/Samba Servers"

Hello there, We want to move from UW-IMAP to Dovecot (mbox format), works like a charm, but UW-IMAP has that bloody habbit to make a stupid message in all his mailbox files : From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Apr 19 10:30:01 2001 Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:30:01 +0200 From: Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON at mailhub2-vil.isdnet.net> Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA

Slowly making progress with Active Directory integration. I have Samba 3.0.2 as an ADS member, and I can see shares, including user home directories. My linux boxes run Debian unstable, and use the PAM and NSS LDAP backends, against an Active Directory on Windows 2000 SP4, using the MS Services For Unix V2.0 schema updates. PAM-authenticated login, ssh etc. all work fine, although I did have to

Package: dovecot Version: 0.99.10.4-2 I am accessing my IMAP folder on my ~/Maildir using mutt via Dovecot and I have this problem whereby mutt incorrectly reports I have new mail in a "mailboxes" polled mailbox. This happens all the time when I press the key bound to change mailbox. I use courier IMAP at school, and I have not experienced this problem. A bug with dovecot or mutt?

Hi folks, I can't get dovecot to authenticate properly against ldap/pam. I've been fiddling with it for several days now, to no avail. It keeps crashing with: Child died with signal 11 The system is Solaris9. Enclosed is a trace of dovecot-auth for a connection to pop with correct username and password and my config. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Benjamin
