Hello, I'm running revision 10622:de9d6dae7fe5 on AIX 5.3 with some local mods for our inbox hash function. I'm having a problem doing a "select inbox" when I use the mbox_snarf plugin. When I run truss on the process I see the following stat calls: 614528: kread(9, " 1 s e l e c t i n b".., 4096) = 15 614528: statx("/gpfs/inbox/14/tstem38", 0x0FFFFFFFFFFFF2F8, 176, 0) = 0 614528: statx("/gpfs/users/t/s/tstem38/IMAP//gpfs/inbox/14/.imap/ts...

Hello, I recently switched to dovecot 1.1.1 with mbox_snarf from uw-imap with mbox driver enabled. The mail is delivered by procmail in /var/spool/mail/user Most of my users have a file INBOX located in $HOME/mail The mail is transfered from /var/spool/mail/user to $HOME/mail/INBOX every time an imap connection is done. Things are OK with clients like...

...ng to upgrade to 1.2.10 I've read carefully the wiki page "Upgrading Dovecot v1.1 to v1.2" and a few messages concerning mail_location parameter but I still don't know what to change in my configuration in order to keep it working after the upgrade. I'm using mbox format and mbox_snarf plugin. dovecot -n : protocols: imaps pop3 pop3s listen: * ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ipop3d.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ipop3d.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login...

Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the...

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of b...

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device bus...

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u whenever the mailbox is synchronized. If all the messages couldn't be copie...

Seeing a problem with a certain user causing dovecot to crash when copying mail to a folder. This looks similar to a bug someone on the mailing list posted recently. Since the backtrace mentions the index, I tried deleting all of the index files for the user (including subfolders) but it had no effect. Seems that the bug still happens when creating the index for the first time.

...se note that no /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox has been created although a inbox is shown in Thunderbird. When I move the saved message from Drafts to the inbox folder shown in Thunderbird, it gets saved in /var/mail/$user instead of /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox, I guess this is due to the use of the mbox_snarf plugin, right? /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox is the maildrop for Exim, which handles incoming mails, but in this scenario the user did not receive any emails yet. If I manually create /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox, then moving a message from Drafts to the Thunderbird-displayed inbox works. How to...
