I uploaded the new version to sid today. Apart from the new version a big change is that it has now been split into 4 pieces. dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d are the imap server and the pop3 server rspectively. They are seperate so you can install one without the other. dovecot-common contains the files they both use. dovecot is just a dummy to ensure smooth upgrades for users of older

I've packaged 0.99.10.4. Owing to the continued downtime on the Debian servers, I've temporarily put the .debs up on my own site. The URL is http://www.braincells.com/debian/ A backport to woody is also available. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

I uploaded 0.99.10.6 to sid. Owing to the importance of the dot lock fix, I've tried to have this pushed to sarge quickly. Let's see how that goes. I've prepared a backport of 0.99.10.6 to woody which should be showing up on www.backports.org soon hopefully. In the meantime, if you desperately need it and don't mind working out dependencies yourself, you can find it at

Well, the backports.org people finally installed my backport of the latest stable version of dovecot. Please remove the Braincells apt source form /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines instead. deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot openldap2 postgresql openssl deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot (If you are using other backports you can merge dovecot etc.

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any

I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I

I upgraded dovecot two weeks ago from 0.99.10-0.rc2 to 0.99.10.4-1woody1 (both from the woody backport packages from braincells.com). Dovecot is using LDAP on a separate machine for authentication. (through stunnel if it matters) At 4:00 am, the LDAP server stops, dumps the ldap database, and then starts back up. Because the LDAP server is stopped, anyone who tries to authenticate during

This one seems to be actually working. Also rewrote doc/index.txt in case someone is interested.

I'm running dovecot 0.99.10-0.rc2 deb packages for Debian Woody from braincells.com. My old environment was a server running UW-IMAP for IMAP and POP services. We are still using mbox for all mailboxes. I use IMP for web based access. Forgive me if these issues have already been discussed or fixed in cvs. Any additional pointers to this info. would be appreciated. I have noticed a

Hi, I'm the Debian maintainer of UW-Imap. Like many I'm somewhat frustrated with the limitations of it so I am very pleased to see that Dovecot is becoming a strong alternative. I have uploaded packages of 0.99.4 to the Debian unstable distribution (sid). Because this is a new package it has to be added by hand so it may be a while before it shows up in sid. In the mean time, I have

I forgot to mention it here: Christof alerted me to the fact that there was a typo in my package which was causing LDAP support to fail. So I made new packages bringing them upto 0.99.10.rc2 in the process and uploaded them to unstable last night. They should arrive in the archive today. A backport to woody is also available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar

I just uploaded it to sid. A woody backport is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I came across an error: giving --without-cyrus-sasl2 to the configure script doesn't work i.e. it looks for -lsasl anyway. Other than that, it seems to be working fine. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

http://dovecot.org/test/ I couldn't break this with Evolution with a few minutes of testing, so here's the first tarball release based on the new indexing code. Try if you're interested, but don't try it on any real mailboxes, or at least keep backups :) Also note that dovecot-uidlist file format has changed a bit, Dovecot 0.99.x isn't able to read it anymore. Things to do:

http://dovecot.org/test/ I still haven't done much real world testing, but I've been thinking about all the potential race conditions a lot since last time and fixed a lot of them. There might still be some.. Changes since -test1: - Locking fixes - A lot more difficult to crash it with corrupted index files - Recent flag works, this time exactly as IMAP RFC says - Maildir syncing

Sorry this took even longer than I thought but they should be arriving in unstable this afternoon. I also have a backport for stable available at http://www.braincells.com/backports This directory is not aptable so manually install the packages for now. (Hopefully backports.org will have their sarge repository open soon. When that happens they will move there.) The configuration file

I finally got some free time and uploaded 1.0alpha4. It will arrive in the archive by tomorrow afternoon. Together with the most recent libssl0.9.8 upgrade I think this will fix the SSL problems users have been facing. -- Jaldhar H.

I'm trying to bring dovecot up on Debian/stable using Christof Meerwald's unofficial packages (cmeerw.org/debian/). This package seems to work fine on Debian/testing. There error I'm getting on the stable box is: gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Bad record MAC) Any guesses? -- Jacob Elder

In what must surely be the first sign of the apocalypse, Debian is actually freezing in preperation for a new release. Probably the last day for uploads will be August 17. Is there likely to be another dovecot release by then? In the event of 0.99.10.9 being the released version, are there any other patches Debian users would like me to include? -- Jaldhar H.
