I've been looking at moving an old IMAPdir-based solution to dovecot. I came across references that dovecot (to my pleasant surprise) added imapdir support in 1.1. However, in trying 2.0.13 (from an OpenBSD package) things start okay, but I see in the logs: "Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location set...

Hello all I am using Freebsd 4.10stable, postfix 2.1.5 with SASL and TLS, procmail version 3.22 and binc IMAP 1.2.8 binc uses IMAPdir style mail boxes, Spam assassin, and ClamAV. Wish to convert to dovecot but your program does not support IMAPdir does it??? also i have many user accounts that i wish to use untouched if possible. I guess this is a migration question for the most part i am switching to dovecot because of its...

...ver ? i rewrite checkpassword-ldap recently to use in bincimap server, and it take 3 lines to do this, so i don't understand how you don't use it. it is more powerful and more secure than retrieve pasword from the base and use crypto api to compare it. - is the dovecot server support the IMAPdir feature like bincimap or not ? thx for this great software, who replace my imap and pop3 server when it support that :) Vr.

...me time ago, I evaluated both Binc IMAP and Dovecot and found Dovecot to be much faster on large folders, which is quite important to me. One thing I did not however manage to determine from the documentation on namespaces is whether or not it is possible to implement what Binc IMAP calls an "IMAPdir" style layout. IMAPdir lets me layout mailboxes in the filesystem like so: $HOME/ Maildir/ <---- users mail goes here Mail/ <---- IMAP root INBOX -> ../Maildir/ <---- (symlink) folder/ <---- some other...

The next thing I noticed in my v1.2 -> 2.2 upgrade is that mail_location = maildir:[..]:LAYOUT=imapdir is broken, the symptom is dovecot returning this to the client when requesting any mailbox beyond INBOX: Character not allowed in mailbox name: ' Which is actually trying to say "Character not allowed in mailbox name: '\0'", but since the %c is not escaped it ends up with...

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the

...other identical lines... roughly as many as I have mailboxes] * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " * LIST (\HasChildren) " 2 OK List completed. I'm not an IMAP protocol expert, but those answers to the list command don't quite look like valid IMAP to me. My imapdir has a bunch of maildir directories in it, like a normal imapdir should. Everything worked fine with the previous version of dovecot (1.2?). Maybe a dovecot bug? At least I don't see how my config could cause this. Any help would be appreciated. The output of "dovecot -n" is inclu...

Hi all, I'm working to convert from a bincIMAP setup to a Dovecot setup. I've tried messing around with namespaces to make the conversion transparent, but I'm getting nowhere. Are namespaces necessary? Or can I proceed by recursively renaming the folders on the server? A transparent solution would be wonderful, but I can't get it to work for me.. Any help would be

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default path */ auto create inbox = "yes", /* create INBOX in au...

Hello, I am currently working on a patch to add IMAPdir support to dovecot. (For those who do not know, IMAPdir is exactly like Maildir except that instead of having a folder .foo it would just be foo. The advantage is that the file system is slightly easier to search through without the dot in front of the folders.) The first thing I did was get t...

Hello, My user's imap folder locations are a mess. Some have them in /home/username/mail but a lot of them just have them in /home/username. So I need to have dovecot's base imapdir pointed directly at the user's homedirs. My problem now is that a lot of users have many links in their homedirs. Some even have circular links, such as: /home/username/foo/foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4 -> /home/username/foo/foo1 All these links are causing some dovecot imap process to endlessly se...

...hierarchy separator character, say ":". Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar." It says some other stupid things too though that nobody seems to actually follow, and I've never actually seen anything but a '.' used as the delimiter... The same is true in IMAPdir: "As with Maildir++, submailboxes can not be represented in a recursive fashion in the file system. The mailbox' representation name will contain the soft hierarchy delimiter character dot '.', and all mailboxes must reside in the same root level directory." I don'...
