similar to: Always 'new mail' false notifications?

I'm new to dovecot and it's configurations. Reading the config file, I have a question regarding having multiple auth= lines in there. Is this some sort of a pass-through or fail-through system of authentications like where if a user is not authenticated using 'pam', then the second method is tried (which might be sql or plain passwd-txt) ? Am I assuming the right thing here ? I

Hi for those who are unhappy with whatever mail reader arrangement they have reading the mailing list, I'd like to share my experience using Gmail, which I have been using for about a week or so now. I find Gmail to be excellent for the mailing list. It doesn't feel like a web mail application at all. The threading works perfectly. Responding to the list keeps the threads intact. It

I have some public mailboxes setup in 1.0.0, location = maildir:/egr/mail/shared/org:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/org:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/org I also have a dovecot-shared file in the maildir folders so messages that are added to the inbox get a decent set of default permissions. However, I think dovecot is also trying to fchown the index files (stored in a user

Hello, I just found that with my dovecot 2.2.21, when I use squirrelmail to search for something in my mailfolders, that fails with ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Query: SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL FROM "someone" That happens for searches in any folder, except from INBOX. When I search in all folders, only results from INBOX are found, then the error message is shown.

Hi, after the upgrade from 0.99 to 1.0rc15 on our RHEL 5 Server I noticed, that some of my mailfolders do double the mails subject line in the listview of thunderbird. The mail itself isn't doubled and the second mail contains a different content from a mail that didn't show up in the list. SO it seams, that only the subject line is somehow wrong. Any ideas or tips? I haven't

Hi list, I am using dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on two servers with (dovecot) replication between them. I do not use dovecot-directors or -proxies. I just have a floating IP on the servers to do failover. I had the problem today that in one user's INBOX and one if his mailfolders got flooded with hundreds of thousands of duplicates. How this happened is another issue (of someone has an idea it

Hello there, I'm pretty sure I found a bug in latest Dovecot 2.2.5.5 (EE) when playing with the doveadm command. Naturally renaming a users mail folder should be done via "doveadm es consistent. So when using "doveadm rename" trying to rename a folder with special characters e.g. german umlauts like "??" it seems to create the folder wrongly in the filesystem.

We are using Dovecot 1.2.12, FreeBSD 8.1 Stable, & SquirrelMail 1.4.21 Our problem is that SquirrelMail works fine inside our Network, but from the outside SquirrelMail times out before it can display the inbox contents. SquirrelMail times out for everyone, all of the time. In troubleshooting we have observed the following: >From the inside, if I telnet into Dovecot IMAP and issue ?

Hi, I'am using a Maildir++ based quota setting which creates a maildirsize file in every Maildir. The first two lines of this file are the maximum quota in bytes then the actual consumption in bytes and number of messages, like so : 1073741824S 379317999 5169 This means this user has a quota of 1Gb and he is using ~ 379 Mb (you have to divide by 1024 to be more precise) Since the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I noticed that entries added to the ACL dict are not removed, when an user no longer has explicit ACLs to another user, e.g.: [at the beginning no ACLs for "user"] 1 login testuser pwd 2 setacl INBOX user lp 3 deleteacl INBOX user Although "user" has no ACLs of mailfolders of "testuser", the user-testuser

Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply. I got the error below, but when I changed the prefix in 4archives to Archive/ I am getting indeed something that is looking ok, I still have to test with a few clients. Why did you call the namespace 4archives? Because it would load before inbox? Or does this not matter at all. Error: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: ""

Hello List I am running a Cyrus IMAP that needs to be replaced. Geting a Dovecot IMAP up and running was surprisingly simple. My configuration is close to Johnny Chaddas Howto at http://johnny.chadda.se/2007/04/15/mail-server-howto-postfix-and-dovecot-with-mysql-and-tlsssl-postgrey-and-dspam/ Its a Dovecot 1.1.10 on FreeBSD 6.4 Anyway, while basic setup was easy, i stuck in a couple of details

Dear Mailing List, (version and dovecot -n at the bottom) (Sorry for the bad English in this mail :) ) I'm new to dovecot and wanted to build my own mailserver using dovecot+postfix. I currently have a Problem with Permissions with my mailfolder. I could solve it easily if i set it with chmod to 777. but thats no real solution. While reading my log files i see a lot messages like: Oct 10

Is there a way I can tell dovecot to only use the .subscriptions file, if it exists, as the source of mailfolder paths, rather than have it look at every file in a user's directory to see if it's a mail folder? I'm on RHEL4, still on dovecot dovecot-0.99.11 Thanks, Terry.

Hello, try to use the new 2.1rc and don't get any data in the searchindex. Tried first lucene, and switched than back so solr. If I do an search in an mailfolder, i get in the dovecot-log 2012-02-06 22:17:11 | dovecot: | indexer-worker(xxxxxx): Indexed 0 messages in INBOX/dovecot Log from solr.

Hi all, we run dovecot for a long time now with no complains from the users ? until this week. Some users say, the search in mailfolders from iPhone (which only stores a few mails and search most on the server as I know) or our web mailer (SOGo, which I currently search also on the imap server) is ?slow?. As this is sort of individual experience, I was thinking of ways to speed up the search and

Hi all, In our faculty, people keep asking about shared mail folders. With Dovecot up and running this should be no problem. I think we will have about 50 shared folders. I did take a look at the various solutions, but not all of them are useable. For example, I do not want users to create sub-folders in shared folders. This means the symlink option is unuseable. In my opinion, the easiest

Hello G?tz, As an intermediate skill level admin I found it not too hard. The dovecot part was easier than the solr one, mostly as I am stuck on an old system. Solr indeed is blazingly fast. Searching several imap (sub)folders slows it down a bit, because imap only always searches a single one and then another one and so on. A proposed rfc to tackle that does not move forward. There is a

Hello... I have dovecot 1.0.10 running with users in an LDAP database. Things are working as they should with IMAP. However, I can't seem to make deliver w. postfix work they way I want. My problems are: Mail to users who do not exist in LDAP or locally are accepted and mailfolders are created. I want mail to users that do not exist in LDAP or locally to be rejected. Mail is delivered
