Hi, Folks, I recently migrated from courier-imapd to dovecot when I migrated a machine from rh9 to fc5. I managed to hit a snag with the 1.0b8 version of dovecot that's currently in fc5. With AppleMail 1.3 I was seeing most of my incoming mail go missing. To make a long story short, AppleMail was applying mail filters inappropriately (walking right past a 'stop processing' rule and moving my incoming mail into folders specified for Act-On actions). This made the AppleMail 1.3 client...

I get the following error message in my syslog frequently when a user accesses the dovecot (IMAP) server from his OS X AppleMail client: Nov 24 09:45:42 myhost imap(someuser): file mbox-rewrite.c: line 429 (mbox_write_header): assertion failed: (hdr_parsed_size.physical_size == hdr_size) Nov 24 09:45:42 myhost dovecot: child 23277 (imap) killed with signal 6 Usually each message appears 5-6 times. The user on the other en...

Hi.. (and Happy New Year).. I tried switching over from Apple's Mail client (applemail) that is part of Panther to using Thunderbird 1.0 and find that all of the folders in my imap mailbox are messed up. Below is what Thunderbird is claiming the folder structure looks like : Inbox Arch Archiv Archive BMW Co E-Bay M Miscellaneous ML Bargains CKF Que Sof...

Hi, I've upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.3. When I did this, my Thunderbird lost its brain and did not show some subscribed folders. squirrelmail also seemed to have issues. Applemail and mutt were fine. The configuration output is below. Hopefully this is just me and just random bizarreness. There wasn't a problem in 1.0.7 but I could have been caught in mid-upgrade. Thunderbird did not seem to update the subscription file (or at least I could not find the one it thoug...

...Naturally, it went away -- until this cluster of crashes. File system is ext3. It is NFS mounted by other machines, but only the local machine should be touching the mail directories. The user does not have an interactive login - it's an e-mail only account. This user's IMAP client is AppleMail. The delivery agent is procmail; Junk is detected by spamassassin; clamav is also present. pop3 is configured, but I don't think anyone uses it. Typical syslog (time matches core.20063): Dec 17 18:06:22 overkill dovecot: imap(<user>): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox...

Hi, I am new to dovecot and I am a bit confused with how namespaces/prefixes/separators are handled by the clients and dovecot... I tried to understand the desciption from the conf file but without success. With each conf I create the following path /f1/f2 on the client (thunderbird) and get the following on the dovecot server: PREFIX= and separator=/ => .INBOX.f1.f2 + .INBOXTrash

it seems that when you say "check for new mail" in apple mail, it sends a NOOP to the imap server to get the response. in uw, the conversation is something like: 25 NOOP 25 OK NOOP completed 26 NOOP * 2796 EXISTS * 7 RECENT 26 OK NOOP completed however, with dovecot, if it has already notified the client that new mail has arrived, it will look something like: * 24 EXISTS * 2 RECENT
