I just got my preferred postfix+dovecot(-1.1.1) configuration working on Ubuntu 8.04 server. Users and Maildirs migrated, etc. I wasn't seeing inbound mail (in the email client) until I set: sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' Which I hadn't needed in the previous server's main.cf I have a few hours worth of inbound mostly-spam in /var/mail/(username) during the time I was figuring this out. What command line tools could I use to pull those message from the mboxes to the Maildirs? Thanks.

...ase 5.7 (Tikanga) postfix-2.9.1-1.rhel5 dovecot 1.0.7 I want to config a complete postfix-dovecot mail server. First I configured postfix to use procmail, its default LDA and dovecot for pop3 and imap. I didn't changed main.cf a lot, just myhostname and a few other properties. I didn't set home_mailbox. About dovecot.conf here is the output of dovecot -n : ? # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap pop3 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executab...

CentOS 5.2 Postfix-2.3.3 Dovecot-1.1.1 Dovecot.Sieve-1.1.5 I have setup with: home_mailbox = Maildir/ (/etc/postfix/main.cf) & mail-location = maildir:~/Maildir (/etc/dovecot.conf) I have created a 'test' user to test Sieve 'Vacation' setup. My questions are: 1. Which folder '.dovecot.sieve' script is copied into? Is it 'home/test' -or- 'home/...

It would seem that dovecot cannot detect my maildir. The system DO NOT use "~/Maildir". It is arbitrary across a few systems, actualy, and am curious if there is a way to "force" in the config file where the maildir explicitly resides, much like Postfix's "home_mailbox" configuration parameter. On a side note, I compiled dovecot 0.99.4 on a NetBSD 1.6-release i386 machine, it when imap_listen is not set in the config file, it only binds to the tcp6 ::1 address. Any clues? -- Jesse Peterson erage at softhome.net

...for maildir to be somewhere other than ~/.maildir. ( like /var/mail/%u/Maildir, where /var/mail is local storage). There are about 200 ldap users who will be using this email server through squirrel-mail or access them through email clients. By the way, I am confused about one setting in postfix : home_mailbox = .maildir/ in main.cf . Does this really play any role? If so, which parameter should be changed and to what and with what permissions to the new directory. Hope I was able to explain, if not please let me know for more details.. Thanks, U

I use LDAP to delivery the mail. any idea. Thank you. Th. Victor O?ate

Dear Dovecot Mail List, I have used Dovecot for quite a while to service remote users on my SOHO network. A local not-for-profit asked about getting their own dedicated domain name for mail. I followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_postfix_virtual_hosting to set up a virtual, but the article leaves out system accounts and I have not been able to access both system and virtual users at the

Hi List, Would the Wiki be interested in a very simple guide to setting up postfix/dovecot? I'm no expert, but have been learning postfix recently, and would be more than happy to write one based on my own setup/experience. As there's so many different scenarios for which postfix could be configured, I'm thinking just a basic guide for a working mail server to get new users up

I know I'm wearing you guys out. I thought I had mail working. It is but it isn't. Mail is stuck in /var/spool/mail. This is a fresh install of dovecot and postfix. I have uninstalled mailscanner as well until I can figure out what's wrong. I sent a test mail from root to tdukes but its not being delivered to ~/Maildir Here's the clip from maillog: Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130

I did find where the mail is going. I found it in /Maildir/new/ Postfix is set to home_mailbox = Maildir/ Changing it doesn't help. Still can't login to roundcube.
