I use offlineimap to sync my remote IMAP-server with my local IMAP-server (maildir format). But I don't understand this behavior: every new mail in the INBOX has a file-date which is one hour in the future. Is this 'normal'? Is this a problem of offlineimap? I tried this debugging (for dovecot): mail_exe...

Hello, To easily access my mail both offline on my computer and on my phone, I am synchronizing a local copy on my computer using offlineimap. As the spam filtering options provided on the server are not sufficient, I am now looking into client-side spam filtering. My current setup is as follows. Mail is synchronized using offlineimap, and delivered to a local dovecot server: --8<---------------cut here---------------start----------...

Hi, I am trying to setup a Gnus - Dovecot - Offlineimap - Webmail (Gmail / Fastmail) chain and cannot configure the correct behaviour. Any advice to get this working properly would be very appreciated! I have set up Offlineimap to synchronise two mail accounts into separate folders under ~/Maildir. After running Offlineimap, the folders look as below...

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python imaplib2.py file: APPEND => no response...

Hi, I'm using dovecot to serve up a Maildir created/served by offlineimap. The layout is typical (as far as I know) of maildirs, with the root folder having cur, tmp, new, and subfolders being a folder within the root folder. Since I'd previously used Evolution to access this maildir, my subfolders were actual subfolders (separator /). Anyway, it all works spiffingl...

Hi, I am trying to st up Offlineimap to use Dovecots LDA to be able to use Sieve for mail filtering, but am not sure how to get this working. I think the right way would be to use 'preauthtunnel' in .offlineimaprc and try the setup below, which doesn't work. ,----.offlineimaprc | [Repository LocalRepository] | type = IMAP...

Hi, I have just installed dovecot and offlineimap on my laptop for syncing with my gmail, and reading in gnus, as outlined in this article: http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/05/08/geek-how-to-use-offlineimap-and-the-dovecot-mail-server-to-read-your-gmail-in-emacs-efficiently/ I am using Debian Etch, and I am the only user.

Hello I have used for years offlineimap-6.2.0 dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.9 in Kubuntu 10.04 Together with a imap server of my university. Yesterday we switched to google, which I know, is not a real imap server. I have 2 problems and the first I think has to do with either an old version of offlineimap or a bad configuration file: - All...

I use offlineimap to pull down some Gmail mail stores. With offlineimap I use sep = / and nothing more exotic. With dovecot I can see INBOX, messages, and messages in top level folders but not subfolders. I'm dealing with folder structure that looks like this: /opt/gmail/joe/Later /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Proje...

I have a dumb question, is it possible to use this combination: Synchronising a remote IMAP-server and a local dovecot-IMAP-server by offlineimap (with both types = IMAP), which works very well. But it seems, that my sieve-scripts on the local dovecot server are not recognised by this combination. Is there a good debugging way for this? -- Dieter Faulbaum Elektronenspeicherring BESSY II Albert-Einstein-Str. 15, 12489 Berlin phone +49 30 6...

Hi all, I am new to dovecot. I am trying to use offlineimap + dovecot + gnus for some emails on multiple machines. I need to use org-mode capture links on emails. I want to know if the same email will have the same IMAP UID on different machines given that they are synced by offlineimap to a local maildir and served by dovecot respectively. Best, Shiquan...

Hi list, Replacing offlineimap with dsync for IMAP-to-IMAP synchronization (using dovecot 2.1.7) is working great, but now that I upgraded to 2.2.9 I'd like to take advantage of the incremental replication [1]. I don't think having a separate replicator process & notifications suits my configuration, as I want to sy...

Hi, I have a dovect 1.0.15 on my mailserver and as a Client I use offlineimap. Since some time now my mailsynchronisation got slow - I don't know exactly where the problem is, but I tried to track it down. Usually the UID-Searches are fast (according to the offlineimap-debugging) but as soon as it comes to big folders it takes a long time: [..] DEBUG[imap]: 37:...

Hi. I'm new to IMAP, but just tried uw-imapd and then dovecot in conjuction with offlineimap. I'm using Debian package version 0.99.14-1 and have my mail in mbox format. One of the first things that annoys me about both programs is that as soon as you read a mailbox over imap, the imapd changes all "new" messages to "old". It seems to have the assumption that the...

Now that gmail added imap, I've been trying to see if I can sync gmail/imap with my local dovecot maildir. I've been trying offlineimap. So far, I've created a loop resulting in a directory with size > 1000000 entries. Anyone try this and have a working setup?

...ian bug tracking # system: retitle 435959 Please support RFC4315 UIDPLUS extension in APPEND reply severity 435959 wishlist thanks [please keep 435959 at bugs.debian.org on Cc.] Hi there, I am working on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=435959, which is a performance problem that offlineimap has on large mailboxes. We think that a simple patch to dovecot could cure this problem. I am willing to write the patch but would really like to get your opinion first. In order to keep track of which IMAP message is stored in which local file, offlineimap uses the message UID, which is guarantee...

I'm afraid I can't give steps to reproduce this, but if someone's come across something like this, it might help me figure out what's going on. I run imapfilter/offlineimap to fetch mail from a gmail to a local maildir store, which I then access with alpine via dovecot (1.2.15). Here's the output of dovecot -n: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-i...
