Hello, I've been running dovecot for over 3 years now and it works with no problems. I have it setup so that it authenticates users against Active Directory via LDAP and so far no problems. What I would like to know is if there is any way that I could deny access for users trying to access email via cellphones or email clients outside the company. I can

Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to support Gmail style conversation when using Dovecot? Someway of associating all inbound and sent emails..? I know that some clients let you display the emails in "conversation" which kinda does what Gmail does, however, it does not associate the Sent emails with it. Thanks for any information.

I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it ret...

Hello, I've been thinking about the best way to achieve load balancing and making my mail servers highly available. So far I believe I have 2 scenarios: Scenario1: This should allow any to lose any of the servers and clients still have access to their emails (although I am not sure how the indexes would react to this and sudden disconnection) - 2 Dovecot Proxy servers, using a

Hello, I am about to add more storage to the mail server and would like to know if it is as simple as it sounds..? I have: dovecot.conf mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/ and /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf with: user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ So all the mail gets stored at /home/vmail/%Ud/%Ln/Maildir/ so if i add a new volume to the VM lets say

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to add a disclaimer to every outgoing email using my setup (Postfix+Dovecot)..? Any links or ideas where i should start.? Thanks

Hello, I got Postfix, Dovecot 1.1.7 configure to use pam and the pam.d/dovecot file is configure to use pam_krb5 module. Everything is working with no problems, but I am finding that the user must type the domain part in uppercase in order to successfully authenticate. So I am wondering if there is any way for the user to login as user1 at domain.com instead of user1 at DOMAIN.COM...?

Hello again, I have change authentication to LDAP from Kerberos due to recent changes to my plans and I am having a little problem getting the malbox created in desired path. At the moment the home folders are being created in: /home/vmail/DOMAIN.COM/%Ln and it worked great with kerberos, but with LDAP the domain part is missing so I did the following: Auth_username_format = %Ln Then I did:

Hello, I have about 100 mboxes, a few with a lot of mails and others with a few mails. I have configured dovecot to use maildir as mail format, but I would like to give users the ability to access their old email located in their old mbox. So all the new mail would be in the ~/Maildir/ and their old or archived email in /home/vmail/mboxmail/%Ln How can I add a namespace to achieve my

Hello, I was wondering is I could use MySQL as storage only..? Meaning that no user information, other than the obvious email address associated with an specific email so that each email can be showed to the right user, will be stored in a MySQL database instead of /home/vmail/DOMAIN/<user> Would I get any advantages.? Would it be better, faster? Thanks

Hello, I downloaded the dovecot-autocreate-0.1-4.6.i586.rpm made by Time Sirainen from opensuse.org and I am getting the following messages in my logs: Module is for different version 1.0.15: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib90_autocreate_plugin.so Couldn't load required plugins They appear for every attempt to autocreate a folder.

Hello, This is my first post and it is to consult about an issue I am having. Here is the error I get in my logs: dovecot-auth: pam_krb5[22949]: error resolving user name 'mike' to uid/gid pair dovecot-auth: pam_krb5[22949]: error getting information about 'mike' If I use kinit to authenticate it works with no problems.

Hello, My storage is running low and i was wondering what would be the best and easy way of deleting everything within the "deleted" and "expunged" folders for every user...? My mail resides in: /srv/mail/vmail/MYDOMAIN.COM/<users>/Maildir/ Thanks..!

It would be nice to have some sort of archiving feature on which dovecot can save emails older than N+1 months to either a remote Dovecot server with MySQL as storage or a separate instance of Dovecot running on the same server but storing the emails in MySQL Is any of this possible now, or in the works...? Thanks

Hello, So I am currently running dovecot 1.2.11 on Debian 5 for our production email systems. We just deployed some new Debian 7 servers and we will be upgrading to the latest dovecot version. I've been reading the docs, but I wanted to heard some feedback on the import of all my current email into the new installation. We have 320GB worth of email. Any gotchas I should be prepared for?

Hello, Has anyone used GlusterFS as storage file system for dovecot or any other email system..? It says that it can be presented as a NFS, CIFS and as GlusterFS using the native client, technically using the client would allow the machine to read and write to it, therefore, I think that Dovecot would not care about it. Correct? Anyone out there used this setup?? Thanks.

Hello, Last Saturday i scp the vmail folder from server1 running SLES to server2 running Debian. Everything went ok and only have a few small problems, but the one to bring up is that some users cant see their new emails. The server receives the emails and puts them in their folder, but the client cant see them. One user's inbox shows last email was received on Friday, however, the

Hello, I am trying to get dovecot to use virtual users and authenticate using PAM+kerberos against Active Directory and I am running into some problems.
