I'm running Solaris 9 Sparc with Dovecot alpha 5 and using maildir format.. I noticed in the log file the following error: dovecot: Dec 20 15:54:18 Error: imap(xxxxxxxx): open(/export/home/xxxxxxxx/mail/.Sent Messages/cur/1135013649.002916.mbox:2,Sab) failed: Too many open files I called the guy and asked him what he was doing... synching his folders. It hung for a while but finally

I may have found a problem with the documentation concerning the subscriptions file. On the Dovecot web site there is a document that outlines the conversion from UW IMAP to Dovecot. The document says Dovecot's folder list is stored in ".subscriptions" However, I have found that Dovecot's folder list is really "subscriptions" without the preceding dot. Did

Has anybody successfully compiled alpha 3 with the newly released openssl-0.9.8? I just wasted the weekend trying to get dovecot to compile using the new openssl libs. Openssl-0.9.7d works like dream. Just wanted to know if anybody had this combo working.

I've been testing with alpha 3 and I am about ready to go production. I am switching from mbox to maildir and I'd like to know if there is a formula or rule of thumb for determining if your file system will have enough inodes to handle all the mail message files. I could write a script to look at each user's mbox files, count the number messages and calculate the average number

I'm using alpha 5 and I'm getting "Corrupted index cache files" errors on one user's account. I found several posts in the mail archives on this subject and concluded from the responses that it's not a serious problem because Dovecot can deal with it. I deleted the index files and they were recreated but the error persists. The end user did not notice any problem

I'm installing dovecot and migrating from mbox to maildir. I've read several articles concerning this process but I can't seem to find the answer to one particular question. What is the default name of the inbox when using maildir format? I need to create this in advance for each user and I don't know what dovecot is expecting for the inbox directory name. -- Andy Cravens

Anybody know what this racing error means? I've got hundreds of them in my Dovecot log file. I tried to search the archives but couldn't find a search link. Nothing on Google search either. dovecot: Aug 30 16:55:54 Error: IMAP(testuser): maildir_file_do(/export/home/testuser/mail) racing -- Andy Cravens

I've been looking through the configure options and can't seem to find a place to specify where dovecot.conf lives. I want the default location to be in /etc and not under the dovecot install directory tree. -- Andy

I have both 1.0 alpha1 and alpha2 installed on my test mail server. SSL/TLS does not work on alpha2. I'm using the same config file for both. No errrors in dovecot.log either. Is there a way to increase debugging info without recompiling?

I am running Dovecot alpha 3 with authentication from the local shadow file. I'd like to change the authentication to use our radius server. I can probably do this through pam. The usernames on the mail server are set up as first initial + last name ( jdoe for John Doe ). The usernames on the radius server are the employee number. Is there a way to map the username to the employee

I have a problem where an e-mail will be marked as unread even though it has been read. When I click on the message the status changes to "read" however, when I go to check for new mail the status changes back to "unread." If I move the message to the trash folder and then move it back to my inbox, the problems stops. Unfortunately, a different e-mail is affected by

Using alpha 3 on Solaris 9. One of our users reported all folders except his inbox were missing. I went to the server and looked at the logs and could find no indication that a sysadmin had logged in and deleted the folders. Also found no indication of anything unusual in the dovecot log file. Has anybody seen a situation where dovecot deleted folders?

Is there a way to move an imap subfolder up one level? I have a bad mouse and every now and then I have accidentally dragged an imap folder on top of another folder. I am unable to get the original folder back up one level. I've tried using several clients and I can't get it to work with dovecot. I keep getting a "folder already exists" message. I'm guessing dovecot

I just upgraded from alpha 3 to alpha 4 and now I'm getting these errors: dovecot: Nov 28 16:17:37 Info: Dovecot v1.0.alpha4 starting up dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:11 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS dovecot: Nov 28 16:20:13 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
