Hi, I'm running 1.0rc6 on Solaris/SPARC, compiled myself against openssl. Client is Evolution 2.6.2 on my gentoo x86 laptop. As Dovecot is not yet productive, we run it parallel to UW-imap, on other ports. I use TLS. If I configure my evolution client with server-type IMAP, everything works fine. However, dovecot claims IMAP4rev1 support. However, when I set server-type to IMAP4rev1 in

..... I finally got round to working on this. I'm a perl programmer, and it has all been very educational, so please bear with me :) I was stuck because the domain name was not interpolated into the Maildir path[0], when using the configuration recommended here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ QuestionsAndAnswers#head-153aa253aff40951a05cf238da4245b1cc1a4665 It turns out that the answer is really simple. You don't need to supply a default_mail_env parameter with vpopmail and dovecot v1.x. Indeed, you shouldn't: the path to the maildir is retrieved from vpopmail and if you specify default_mail...

I'm happily using dovecot as my IMAP server and accessing mails using Thunderbird... but I want to use the Net::IMAP facilities in the Ruby standard library to write some scripts to automate various spam-related tasks & housekeeping. My Ruby script: require "net/imap" imap = Net::IMAP.new('localhost')

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it. TIA, Peter -- Peter Lindgren

...lters, I get the following error: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 UNSEEN Subject {14} *****SPAM***** Reason Given: [BADCHARSET] Unknown charset Googling around, I found the admonition on the wiki about chrooted environments: http://wiki.dovecot.fi/moin.cgi/QuestionsAndAnswers#head- e146cada4e103a4a93a736998c64f23b1a8cd312 so I disabled all chroot directives in my config and ran as root, just to see if that was the error. No luck. When running configure with "./configure --with-mysql --with- storages=maildir --with-ssl=openssl", I noticed that I got this...

I've just installed dovecot on my FC5 box. I tweaked the dovecot-openssl.cnf and attempted to recreate the cert but get the errors below.

I have dovecot on Fedora Core 5 and I want to create a subfolder. By default it?s impossible!!!! I setup dovecot for maildir and after I able to create a subfolder. But I can?t receive my old and new email on this format. I read dovecot documentation at http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers#head-35b621e067b7e72c1d1e47886f4 00a1a784bd95c and its write: For ordinary local Unix users, you may want to specify the mail environment as "maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n". There are two reasons. First, mail can be delivered there without consuming the user's disk quota o...

<http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers#Is_it_possible_to_have_Dovecot_imap.2BAC8-pop_daemons_listening_on_multiple_ports.3F> is out of date. How can I listen to ssl-wrapped IMAP on multiple ports? I need to listen on both 993 (for some stupid clients I have to support that can't do START TLS) and 80 (to get past L3/L4 firewall...

...This may seem silly, but I noticed that there isn't any documentation saying what is the proper way to kill Dovecot. I assume it is to kill the 'dovecot' process. This is indirectly addressed in the Wiki: 6. Why can't I change the log location? http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/QuestionsAndAnswers#head-c9650f53dd4f7ca2b07564b7a29b99f2687333a9 though the first few examples refer to <pid> without identifying the pid of what. Maybe adding a "How do I start Dovecot?" and "How do I stop Dovecot?" as the first two items on that page would be a good idea, and then the...
