...e numbers of emails successfully with imapsync. I've not experienced any problems while accessing the folders with Thunderbird. I can't relate these log messages to anything in the configuration file or the documentation, so I'm wondering if I can ask for help?

...ou could just use rsync to synchronise the two sets of folders and files. I guess you would need to exclude from the rsync operation the dovecot-specific files (indexes and so forth) and allow dovecot to update these itself to reflect the new state of each set of stored messages. -- John Allen Bofferdange, Luxembourg allen at vo.lu

...ems plausible. I'll have another look at the permissions. Timo, On this specific point I cannot see anything wrong on my system. The maildir folders all have permissions 0700 and the messages in all folders 0600. Owner and group are the same throughout all my folders.

I am sure this is a really stupid question but I could do with some advice. I am setting an old PC as an email/file server using Gentoo Linux. So far I have configured getting emails from a couple of a pop3 accounts I have with ISPs/Mail Service providers using getmail and dovecot. I can access those emails from a variety of clients using IMAP without problem. The next stage I want to

I spend time in two places, in different countries. I have a local network in each place, with IMAP servers on each network. I collect email by fetchmail from various servers, and read email on my laptop with KMail. I tried using just one IMAP server, but this proved impractical. So I have two collections of the same sub-folders, on the two servers. I have two questions: 1. Is there a simpler

Hi guys, I have what I'm sure is a stupid question. I'm trying to install Dovecot 1.1.2 from source and my command sequence is this: cd dovecot-1.1.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-storagesmaildir --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot make make install cd ../dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1.2 make make install I don't get any errors

I hoping this is an RTFM ... and somebody can point me at the correct 'FM' :-) I've just spent a while setting my new Debian , allways-on box in what I suspect is a generally useful configuration. I have fetchmail(1) collect mail from many mailboxes via pop3. I store these mails in different mboxs according to rules in procmail(1) I then offer these out to the household via imap

A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir

I have some users that I will not allow to use POP3 thru my system, but force them to use webmail. Would it be possible to put an extra option in dovecot.conf to force this: # ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Logon processes # user = <username>,<password> # ----------------------------------------------------------------- user =

I've recovered a load of messages from a different mail server without it's index file (it was corrupted). I now have thousands of messages which display in Outlook Express (yes, you may puke at this), all as today's date. However when I read them in Pine, the date of each message is displayed correctly, but they're in no particular order whatsoever. There are several

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and

Hi We have an issue regarding the order in which emails are displayed in an imap folder, which our customers regularly complain about. By default, emails are returned from a folder in the order in which they were placed into the folder, which makes perfect sense. However, if an email is moved into another folder, it will always appear at the top, no matter how old it is. We could order the

Have there been any issues with dovecot and using outlook express (imap) as an email client? I have had a couple of users come up with random missing emails. Im trying to figure out if it is user error, or something wacky in my mailserver. I cant find anything telling in maillog files or my messages. Dovecot version is 1.0.3. Its ok to reply to me, I get list messages digest.
