Dovecot is delivering mail to my ~/.mail directory wonderfully. But /var/mail/michael is growing steadily. Is it the job of Dovecot to purge this file regularly? Is there a setting somewhere for this? Thanks, Michael

Can dovecot use usernames and passwords not from /etc/passwd and be able to read mails of an user whose username and password are in /etc/passwd ? For example: - Joe Bloke has a local Unix account joe on Unix server mail.example.com - Sendmail on mail.example.com accepts mails for joe at example.com and put them in /var/mail/joe - can dovecot use other username/password file or database or

Hello, I'm running the dovecot backports from jones.dk. Everything is working fine so far, but whenever someone is logging in (IMAP or POP 3) I get the following error message in my mail.log: [...] pop3(frederik): utime() failed with index file /var/mboxes/frederik/.INBOX/.imap.index: Operation not permitted [...] imap(jako1): utime() failed with index file

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: important In postinst logcheck "fixes" permissions of /etc/logcheck/* to 750. In my (and others on #d-d) opinion ownership and permissions should be preserved upon package upgrades. Logcheck must not screw with my decision to make them world readable every time it configures. -- Peter

Mulberry has the ability to log the IMAP exchange client-side. Is there an equivalent logging feature in Dovecot (0.99) to log the IMAP exchange server-side? My problem is that Mulberry is displaying some complex MIME structures incorrectly (eg. nested/forwarded messages) but it seems to go away if I close a folder and re-open it. I'm suspecting that Dovecot is reporting the wrong

Hi, We are thinking of converting to Dovecot to lighten our I/O load. I have done some performace tests comparing UW-IMAP to Dovecot when using mbox format if anyone is interested. They primarily examine the I/O improvements that can be gained from using Dovecot over UW when staying with mbox format: http://whizzo.uoregon.edu/public/src/mailperf/results.html I had too much cached for this set

Hi I noticed in a post that Timo might start work on a LDA Great! If so, here is something I would really like included. Support for PAM There is quite a lengthy reason behind this. In my organisation, user accounts are created on ldap. It is up to the services to create home directories whenever the user first uses them. For instance, Samba will do this the first time they connect to their

Hi List, While (bluntly) testing the prerelease version of dovecot on our mailfarm (just for the webmail imap) we noticed some small problems: - While our OLD dovecot/imap drove the load to a maximum of 1 over a day after running, the new dovecot/imap pushes it easily to 20. This is mainly due to a LOT more disk activity. This is probably caused by the fact we a) use indexes on disk and

Hi Timo and other dovecot fans, why, when I'm trying to read certain "Drafts" emails that I just created, or edited, do the dovecot children die (or so I think). In mutt, the behaviour is that I "c =Drafts" then select the email and I get "connection closed to squeaky.rubberduck.com". In Mail.app - she just loops, trying to read those headers again and again
