A junior administrator of mine mistakenly created a mailbox with an empty name, by typing into cyradm the commands: createmailbox user/$lb setquota user/$lb 10000 He will of course shortly receive an extra lesson on shell variables, but meanwhile I find myself confronted with the problem how to get rid of the mailbox he created. So far all attempts have failed: [cyrus at posthamster ~]$ /usr/lib...

Hi all, I've read all documentation that I could find, but I can not understand 2 simple things 1. How to create a public mailbox - with per user seen flag. In my configuration this flag is shared 2. How to share one user mailbox with other users and set up acl. In Cyrus it was very easy( cyradm sam mailbox user1 lrs or sam mailbox user2 all ). What way there is to do this in dovecot. It was no problem with shared mailboxes in cyrus, but I need maildir support. Thank you. # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.2 ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain lo...

Hallo I am very impressed from this howto's: 1) Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO (mysql) http://www.delouw.ch/linux/postfix.phtml 2) Pop-Toaster using Qmail-Vmailmgr-Courier-SquirrelMail http://qvcs-guide.sourceforge.net/ (this work for me) I hope to build anything like above, but with Dovecot: [Postfix-tls-smtpauth-Dovecot-Mailadmin*-MySQL-SquirrelMail-https]...

Hello all, I've played with both Zimbra and Scalix and they seem quite nice and do pretty much what I want. I'm now at the point where I am considering retiring my trusty old courier-imap service in favour of one of these two, unless of course anyone has any other recommendations or suggestions. I'd probably be doing this inside a centos 4.4 Xen VMs running on centos 5 when it comes

Hi All! I have worked cyrus+web-cyradm+mysql+virtualdomains configuration, and want migrate from cyrus to dovecot by some reason.

CentOS 6.5, cyrus-imapd 2.3.16-6 So, I gather you're supposed to create mailboxes called user.<username> But I wind up with user^<username>, and mailbox can't be found.

hi, i red several hours a lot of documentation (wiki, Blogs, lists ...) how to get public folders. Under cyrus it is very easy. Create a mbox on the top with cyradm and some acls. Nothing more ... All i want is: public/info public/group/internal public/foo public/foo/bla on info, everybody can read on group/internal - only group has full access to internal public/foo/bla - read write for everyone The flags (seen, ...) is stored for all. The wiki entries...

Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: "Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern" with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern"

...t;." "Trash" Maybe it's a namespace related problem, cause the advanced TB preference panel looks like that: private namespace "" and the other both input fields are empty. In opposite to cyrus. The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user." (only translated by me, it's a localiz...

dbox format needs at least two tools: 1. Expunging only marks the message having refcount=0. The actual disk space is freed only after calling a tool pointing to the user's dbox dir. 2. Ability to force index resync/rebuild in case it doesn't figure out itself that there's something wrong. I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe something similar

Hi, I need to setup a new mail server and before I got my feet wet or losing in the configurations jungle, I really need some advice from the gurus here for what the best software to used for the mailserver base on CentOS 4.x setup. The objective is, the mailserver will be easy to setup, maintained and have some 1. database backend for storing user info ( mysql? ) 2. spam and antivirus
