My destination is :/Example(folder) / ITD(folder) / LW(folder) ,user(lw) of group(ITD) can enter and do everything(rwx) in LW(folder),the following is ACL settings On Freebsd: ----------------------- /Example(folder) : # owner: root # group: wheel user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x --------------------- /Example(folder) / ITD(folder): # owner: root # group: wheel user::rwx group::r-x group:ITD:r-x

We have a customer with a large public folder hierarchy. They occasionally make requests to have the public folder ACLs changed; for example: "please give user X access to all public folders" (that's nearly 1700 folders). Worse: "please give user Y access to all sales folders" (there are 1450 sales folders). The problem is that there are (naturally) spaces in the folder names, which makes command line manipulation challenging. We've ended up with some astonishin...

Hello, I'm now dealing with funny problem. I try to use Dovecot (2.1.rc1, actually) and mbox format to store old mailing, to keep logic of "one folder = one file". If I'd choose Maildir, I'd be able to create hierarchical folders (like "OldMail -> Maillists -> Dovecot"), and in fact on disk such a folders would be stored as real folders with dots in their names. In PHP it is easy to create with "imap_createmailbox()" function, I'd simple fire it 3 times (for "OldMail", for "O...

...e user's home directory to get things working. Using Thunderbird 2, I can happily copy messages into this system and read them out again, and that all works. In the user's "~/dbox" directory, I get a "storage" directory and a file "m.1". I can also create folders, and nested folders, and put messages into those and read them out again, and that all works. If I try to delete a folder through Thunderbird 2, what happen is that the folder gets moved to be under a folder "Trash" (which Thunderbird calls "Deleted"). So if I had a folder...

Hi there, I cannot delete IMAP folders in new mailboxes. When trying to delete a folder in Thunderbird I get the error message "renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". Looking up the error on the web led me to checking the mailbox directory's permissions. They're inconsistent in new mailbo...

When using Thunderbird (dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3) on Fedora connecting to dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 I am having problems deleting folders which have been created with the 'Allow your new folder to contain: Folders only' option picked. The folder appears to get deleted but upon restarting Thunderbird the folder still appears to be there but clicking on it I get the error: 'The current command did not succeed. The mail...

...lated to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. In TBird, for example, I have a folder tree that looks like this Inbox -| Folder-A Folder-B Folder-C Folder-A Folder-B Folder-C And Folder-A, Folder-B, Folder-C are the same folders, just shown twice. [In two different hierarchies.] I'm using mbox files to store mail. [If that matters.] Here's what I have in my conf files for namespace defs namespace { inbox = yes #hidden = yes prefix = INBOX/ separator = / } namespace inbox { mailbox Drafts { specia...

Hello! we are about to move from cyrus to dovecot and have one open issue for that migration. With cyrus we have "shared/" folders with a name that is self defined like shared/project-xyz but the email address for direct delivery to that folder my be different (not project-xyz at domain.com). With dovecot we try to have it similar (at least how the user sees it in the client) like it is now. When configuring a namespace of...

As the subject says.? This may be a bit open-ended - but it would really help troubleshooting some obscure folder issues. In my case, I happen to have both some "real" folders and also some "virtual" folders that respond to IMAP LIST commands with the "\NoSelect" flag - and I don't know why.? Via telnet, I can manually issue SELECT, SEARCH, and FETCH for such folders without errors. -- Daniel

...ry most of the thing before the switch except outself. since the whole it department use linux and mozilla. and almost nothing is working with mozilla: - first of all the folder list can't be subscribed i.e. only the top level folder can be subscribed. can't subscribe to folder which has subfolders and mail inside. all folders with has subfolders shonw as an empty name folder under itself. and you can't select these folders in mozilla's subscribe window (i.e you are not able to check it even it is there). - you can't send any messages!!! since mozilla can't find the Sent folde...

Hi R users, I need to run a analysis using a data for each folder. I do have several folders. Each folder contains several files but these files name are similar to the files that is saved into another folders. I need to repeat the analysis for every folder and would like to save the output in that particular folder. After completing the analysis in one folder, I want to move another fo...

Hi list, I have problem with deleting sub-folder. I use thunderbird 8.0 as a client and dovecot 2.0.9 with imap protocol as a server. I use dovecot with tb-extra-mailbox-sep parameter. I use mbox mailboxes and thunderbird with *not checked* option 'server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages' so when I create sub-folder I can choose between 'folders only' and 'messages only'. When I try to delete 'parent' folder which contain 'messages only' folder, error message appear: [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox has children,...

...kstation shared folder. After the copy and from the WINXP SP2 workstation, i look the properties of the remote folder (the copied folder on the Linux workstation) and of the local folder (the original folder on the WINXP workstation) For the remote folder, I have : - 29764 files - 2427 folders - Size : 6868067,965 bytes - Size on disk : 6884156,416 bytes and for the local folder, I have : - 29764 files - 2427 folders - Size : 6865812,159 bytes - Size on disk : 6938199,838 bytes I think that the differences on the 'Size on disk' properties comes from the...

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a

Hi Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong? Th...

Hi, I use Dovecot-2.0.13 with mdbox and Thunderbird (IMAP). I have dozens of imap folders and sometimes I wish to delete several folders: First Problem: If I remove a folder under TB, it get moved to my Trash folder. After that I close TB, which also purges the trash. When I come back, the deleted folder and its content is still there. There is no way to remove it with TB. On the serv...

...r someone who's familiar with the problem. Basically I'm using a Pi as a small nas. I have a folder /media/ and a script that mounts usb drives there automatically. So I shared /media/ with smb.conf. Windows & Linux had no issue accessing the data, but Mac couldn't navigate into the folders that had drives mounted on them. For example '/mnt/usb drive' wouldn't work. I'd click the folder and it'd say "The folder can't be opened because you don't have permission to view it's contents". Finally opened Wireshark to see what the difference was betw...

Hey!! It is now showing the former users' folders at the top level of the current user. Great! Perhaps dovecot just needed time to "index" the new messages? Anyway, Luigi's suggestion on moving and renaming the folders apparently worked. Thanks!!!! --Mark -----Original Message----- > Subject: Re: Moving Maildir folders > Fr...

Moika, Overnight, I migrated my user-mails from uw-imap to dovecot-maildir. I used the uw2dovecot.pl script to convert all mails and changed exim, too. Receiving mails works fine allready, but nobody can access the usual subscribed folders with thunderbird. Via "subscriptions" I can find the converted folders in a folder called "_" (underline). People getting mad about me as the cannot find their stuff any more in the usual folders. What can I do that they have the converted stuff in the same folders as they h...

I don't know if this problem exists only in my version of dovecot, or in all... To reproduce BUG do this (use gdb): telnet localhost 143 o login addr at email.sth verystrong_pass o delete "kj-test-folder" o rename "kj-test-folder" o rename "kj-test-folder" "other-folder" SIGABRT Of course kj-test-folder is not exist.
