...uild-param) returned error 89 And thereafter, all login attempts resulted in this: dovecot: Error: imap-login: read(ssl-parameters.dat) failed: Unexpected EOF dovecot: Error: child 19036 (login) returned error 89 Thankfully, deleting the ssl-parameters.dat file (/var/run/dovecot/memoryhole.net/login/ssl-parameters.dat) and restarting dovecot fixed the problem, but it seems odd to me that dovecot expects /usr/local/var/lib/dovecot to exist (because, of course, it doesn't). I'm not defining that directory in the config file anywhere. Does anyone have any idea what's go...

Hello, I'm trying to get the zlib plugin working on my 2.0 server. I started with an mbox that Dovecot can read just fine. Then I gzipped it, and now Dovecot complains that it's corrupted: Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net/kyle/Maildir/Archive/Intellego.gz at 1907 Error: Unexpectedly lost From-line from mbox file /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net/kyle/Maildir/Archive/Intellego.gz at 1907 Error: zlib.read(/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net/kyle/Maildir/Archive/Intellego....

Hey, This may be a dumb question... I'm trying to set up 1.0 with a static userdb, and I'm getting stuck. I have: userdb static { args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/domains/%d/%n } When I attempt to log in as, say, kyle at memoryhole.net (via telnet, so I *know* I'm logging in as that user), the debug log says that it thinks my home directory is "/domains//kyle". I even tried, just to check what might be going on: args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/domains/%u/%d/%n It then thought my home directory was "...

Hello, I have an "archive" folder in my inbox, where I manually stick old mails into a compressed mbox format. Since upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.1, I've started seeing messages like the following in my log files: imap(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable indexer-worker(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox

Gnus use a lot of custom flags to represent the messages state wrt. Gnus. How well are these flags supported in dovecot? How fast are access to them? (Ie. will dovecot have to open the message and parse the headers) Are they supported when using imapsync to transfer messages from a different IMAP server? (I guess I'll find out soon, because I'm using imapsync to transfer messages

First off, the website documentation is really good for Dovecot but while reading I was not able to find anything pertaining to inbox hashing for Maildirs. I saw plenty about hashing the directories that the user mailboxes live in but nothing about specifically hashing an individual user's inbox directory itself. Is there any method for hashing the inbox automatically after say 5,000

I am running Maildir (obtained via [mac|darwin] ports) on my Powerbook Pro to operate as local mail storage. My mail is stored in the Maildir format. Is it possible to set Maildir not to put a dot in front of the directory names? (e.g., ~/Maildir/somefolder instead of ~/Maildir/.somefolder). OS X's spotlight indexing/search service will not index "hidden" directories (those that

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 found that with an IMAP command like <unique-leader> STORE 1 +FLAGS (testflag) I can set arbitrary flags on mails through the dovecot IMAP daemon. This rules. Now I wonder, however, how I can remove those flags, which become properties of the folder, really. For instance, after the above, SELECT on the containing folder gives: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen

Hello, I have an odd problem on a dual processor, dual core Opteron system. Obviosously it is x86_64 so should have no problem large amounts of RAM. The system has 4 GB installed (2GB on each processor). If I boot the system with a fresh install of Debian Etch it sees all the memory fine. dmesg reports: Memory: 4107008k/5242880k available (1929k kernel code, 86836k reserved, 864k data, 176k

Hello, I currently have a setup on my system with what I call "magic folders" to enable spam filter training. Here's how it works: 1. If you have a false-negative, put the spam into the Spam.Report folder 2. If you have a false-positive (which has all kinds of ugly spamassassin protective markup in it), put the message into the Spam.NotSpam folder

Hey there, I'm interested in testing out using different storage formats for different folder hierarchies. I *think* this can be achieved using namespaces, but I'm not sure. For example, is it possible to, say, make all directories under INBOX.Archive be stored as mboxes, while everything else is stored as Maildirs? ~Kyle -- May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head

Hello, One of my users wants to be able to deliver email (e.g. via a procmail script) and mark it *read* when it's delivered. We use Maildir as our mail storage format. I have a bit of a hack script put together that will do it by directly manipulating the Maildir (it delivers the email using safecat, and then renames the file into the "cur" directory with the necessary flags

Hello! I?m in the process of migrating from BincIMAP to Dovecot, and I have a minor question. One of the things that Binc does is logs how many bytes of data it has sent as part of logging the log-out. Is there a way to get Dovecot to do that, or to calculate something similar? ~Kyle -- Racism is man's greatest threat to man---the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.

Hello, So, I'm migrating from Binc to Dovecot, and one of my users has run into an odd complaint/issue. I don't know that it's a Dovecot issue necessarily, but maybe the people here know a fix anyway... The problem is that pine tab-completion now appends a "." to the end of folders that have sub-folders. In other words, say the user has these folders: INBOX

Hello, I just recently switched my system from a BincIMAP/vpopmail to a Dovecot/vpopmail system, and I have to say: thanks! There were really only two things I had to patch Dovecot to do: first, provide statistics on network usage, and second, to allow folders to be LIST'd/SELECT'd/etc. with a trailing separator (to satisfy my pine users). If anyone's interested, I can generate a

Hello, I recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.1.8 to 1.1.14, and I've started to get errors I never got before. Specifically, I'm getting "Mailbox is locked, will abort in xx seconds" errors. My mail client (mutt) will just sit there in the background (presumably in IDLE) and randomly will show this error (I THINK it has something to do with delivering new messages to the

Hello, I am trying to use two namespaces to create an "archival" directory that is stored as mboxes (the rest of my tree is all stored as maildirs). However, when I add the second namespace, suddenly Dovecot starts emitting, in response to the LIST command, a second version of the INBOX that is marked as \NoSelect. Here are my namespac definitions... am I doing this wrong?
