Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu

Hello everyone, I am testing Dovecot 1.1.3 at the moment to see if I can migrate from UW-Imap(mbox) to Dovecot(maildir). Because I dont' want to influence the production server I installed Dovecot on an ununsed computer with some dummy-testusers using ssl and maildir. Installation was without any problems and everything works fine with one exception: I cannot download some attachments.

Greetings to all. It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment (we are the biggest provider in Greece). So, here are the details: - Keep getting errors like these in our production environment Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with

A mail user reported that he filled up his INBOX (despite reminders he was approaching his filesystem quota), and furthermore, he could not fix the situation because he couldn't expunge message he marked for deletion. The dovecot logs revealed the cause dovecot: imap(user): Error: open(/var/mail/user.lock) failed: Disc quota exceeded This created an impasse where a user cannot free

Hi All! Just noticed a strange behavior of the FS quota plugin on delivery stage. We use group FS quotas via NFS. And quota-tool says: --- Disk quotas for group #5751796 (gid 5751796): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace nfse:/export 1276 10240 10240 --- I run: --- cat ./test.eml | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n -d xxxx at xxxxx.xxxx --- and get: --- Quota

Im still finding a number of control directories that have the wrong permission: Jun 26 00:02:34 userimap13.xs4all.nl dovecot: IMAP(xxx): file_dotlock_create(/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/g/gl/xxx/INBOX/.Apple Mail To Do/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied userimap1# ls -al "/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/g/gl/xxx/INBOX/.Apple Mail To Do" total 8 drw------- 2 xxx user 4096

I am wondering if I really need to use dovecot quota functions or not. Assume for the moment, that, each system user has a quota defined using Linux quotas, and that the Maildir is within their quota limited directory. So, any mail (or files created by the user etc) that would exceed the quota obviously can't be created.? In such an environment, is there any advantage to implementing the same

I ran into two issues trying to upgrade our dovecot installation (Solaris 10). 1) Does not compile with OpenSSL 0.9.7 Not a big deal, as I was able to successfully against OpenSSL 0.9.8, but does dovecot require OpenSSL >= 0.9.8 now? libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-test -std=gnu99 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=ultrasparc -Wall -W

Hi, currently I have one new user with a problem. When she logs in to dovecot with pop3 from her apple mail, dovecot tells problems with the +w permission. Error: open(/var/mail/******) failed: Permission denied (euid=3462(******) egid=548(dozenten) missing +w perm: /var/mail) /var/mail is rw by root.mail I cant see why just this particular user has that problem/gets that messages. AFAIK no

I'm trying to set up a pop3 server for a project for class, but it keeps giving me the following error: Error: Login user doesn't exist: dovecot Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf And I have no clue what's wrong. I've look and modifying the dovecot.conffile for days and I am not having any luck. ## Dovecot configuration file # If you're in a
