Hello, I am using dovecot as an imap server, mail is stored in mail directories. Configuration is below. One mail directory has about 14 Gb of mail in the inbox and .Sent directories. Searching from an Android phone with gmail is slow or doesn't work (it times out). Is there a configuration for Dovecot that can improve this? A better e-mail client for Android? Thanks, John root at

Hello, I've done a fair amount of searching, and couldn't find a definitive answer. I am moving my dovecot/postfix servers and mail in Maildir formats to a new host. When I move the Maildir directories, what should I do with the dovecot.index/cache/log/etc. files? I know I can filter them out, and dovecot will recreate them, but is that the best approach? I am thinking of the following:

...ull text search plugin for dovecot is used (wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr). For debian "dovecot-solr" can be used. For Android K9-Mail does not really support server side search, Aquamail does and for other mail clients I don't know. Am 1.

Hi, I have Solr FTR working with dovecot, and need to do the commit and optimize recommended here: https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr Should this run as root, or as each mail user. The documentation above implies, but doesn't state, that it is root. The docs here are similar: http://grimore.org/networking/dovecot/full_text_search But the docs here say it has to be done for each

Hallo, I am running dovecot on a PC (a workstation) to have a mail client independent storage for my mails. Now I would like to have the system clock set correctly by using ntpd or ntpdate (using debian/sid). The problem is, that the PC is not online at boot time, but is set online on demand manually using "pon" to start the pppd later. So ntpd cannot sync the time on boot time

Hello, I am trying to get Solr full text searching working on Debian 9 with Dovecot, and I suspect the binary for dovecot does not have solr enabled (--with-solr). root at elephant:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# /usr/sbin/dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=epoll notify=inotify ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir imapc pop3c raw fail SQL driver

Hi, I was running the Ubuntu dovecot package until now, and decided to upgrade because of an issue with Thunderbird. I downloaded and compiled 1.0.8, and it's not starting up. The error I'm getting is: Dec 2 15:35:04 jfootoo dovecot: auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'pam' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) D I used
