similar to: error in config file?

I just installed Dovecot and squirrelmail to read my email when I'm away from home. I subscribed to all the folders in my mail directory but I can't actually see any email. Is this a dovecot issue or a squirrelmail issue? I'm running KMail from KDE 3.1.2 and use Debian (Testing) on a Digital Alpha and installed both squirrelmail and dovecot using apt-get. I had to set

Hi there, I've currently compiled and running dovecot version 0.99.10 on my FreeBSD 4.8 system from the ports and am having problems with authenticating clients with the imap/pop3 service. The error message i get is: Jul 11 19:26:18 dev dovecot: Dovecot starting up Jul 11 19:27:23 dev dovecot-auth: passwd(james): invalid password field '*' Jul 11 19:27:23 dev imap-login:

http://togami.com/~warren/archive/2003/evolution-1.4.4-crash.mbox I suspect that dovecot-0.99.10 is misserving this message in some way that is confusing some IMAP clients. This behavior causes evolution-1.4.4 to segfault, and squirrelmail-1.4.1 to be unable to read the message. The same message served by uw-imapd works works fine in both evolution and squirrelmail.

Hello, I'm having a slight problem with Dovecot (0.99.10-0.rc2, on Debian woody). When using mozilla 1.4, there is an error message from the mailer just after login, but nothing in dovecot logs. "Alert The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Error in IMAP command UID: Too long argument.." How could I fix this problem ? Thanks, -- Nico J'ai une panne de

I am running PC-Pine under Windows XP, connecting via SSL to a Dovecot IMAP server (0.99.10-2 under Debian woody). When I open a mail folder (mbox format) in Pine I get the following non-fatal error: [Junk in end of group: pn=undisclosed-recipients al= dn=] A similar error was reported to comp.mail.pine as happening with a Lotus Domino server. Mark Crispin explained it as a server-side bug:

Hi, Dovecotters. In the Maildir code, dovecot-0.99.10/src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-copy.c, I see that hardlinks are used. It seems that (line 185) if MAILDIR_COPY_WITH_HARDLINKS is exported, then copying is attempted by using link. Having problems reading the source / flow of control, I resort to this list. When a file is linked, the mtime is naturally kept on the destination. This

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from uw imapd to dovecot. I'm having two problems at the moment. 1. uw imapd grabs new mail from /var/mail/user and then shoves it into ~/mbox, is there any way to make dovecot handle this kind of setup or am I better off merging ~/mbox back into /var/mail/user? If merging is better are what tools are best for this? 2. While I did have have everything in

I'm working on getting Dovecot set up on my school's mailserver, as an IMAP and POP server. Everything is going well, move over to maildir went well, and all that... The catch: When I coverted from mbox to maildir (as part of this whole process), I put the Maildir folders under user home dirs -- and the home dirs are mounted via NFS from a server. This is for reasons of space as well as

We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME. vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too? /etc/dovecot.conf: [...] auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain

I've got dovecot working on imap But when I try to run imaps I get: imap-login: Nove 08 19:11:19 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [192.168.1.103] Now I'm not sure if theres any difference here, but I don't have string for 'login = imaps' or 'login = pop3s' to match with my protocols string

Hello. I apologize if there is a simple answer to this question, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Our people use various clients (pine 4.50 with maildir patch, eudora, messenger, outlook, squirrelmail), and all of them work with courier-imap. But I've become very interested in dovecot after reading about it, so I'm trying it out on another server. The results are mixed.

Hi List! I read a post about moving a .mailbixlist to a .subscriptionfile when a user did not have one, but did have a .mailboxlist file. Timo emailed a module for that purpose, so it could be done for this user. My question is: - Where and how does dovecot call this function? - Would it be easy to use a module to a) create a mailpath (can be done as the mailuser's id, I use one uid, and my

I am currently using Squirrelmail and Dovecot with this setting: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=%h/mail/INBOX It works well, however folder subscriptions in Squirrelmail annoyingly end up with "./" prefixes because Squirrelmail refuses to work without overriding the folder namespace. All of my other IMAP clients work fine without setting that option. Squirrelmail's
