Hello, i just switched from courier-imap to dovecot on a machine. The transition was painless except for one issue - when using the "Check mail" feature of kmail, one gets the message: "Unable to get information about folder customflags. The server replied: internal error..." So it looks like the server isn't properly hiding the .customflags file for some reason. I

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating 0.99 dovecot maildir boxes to a pair of new machine. These servers were running the stable (etch) 1.0rc15 package of dovecot until yesterday and existing .customflags files were correctly converted to dovecot-keywords. Yesterday I upgraded to the (finally, thanks to who did this) 1.0.0 etch backports package and since then freshly migrated boxes get

OK. After checking the 0.99->1.0 migration documentation, it seems I've been a little confused between customflags and keywords. (Though this is partly due to my repeated requests for clarification being ignored.) The page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot) says 1.0 does not use .customflags any more. Now, I'm hoping they're still supported, in which case

Hello, I'm in the process to choose between Courier and Dovecot. I would like to know if it's possible to configure Dovecot in order to use multiple user database (e.g. ldap+passwd) in order to have both virtual user authenticated by LDAP and system user authenticated by system password and with their own home directory. Another question: at http://dovecot.org/doc/dovecot-example.conf

I have read and read the dovecot docs on maildir folders and think that this is what I want. However, the MUA programs that I use, SylpheedClaws, Evolution, Mozilla seem to react differently to how I setup the folders. Is there a good FAQ on this subject somewhere? I think that I want to setup a virtual domain and am looking for documents. Alex

Sorry if this question has been asked before I looked through some of the archives before posting this. I am considering using dovecot on a small 35 user enviorment (only around 6 gigs of email) that will be primarly be used with squirrelmail for the MUA. I have been using dovecot for a few weeks now and really like it. It is a big improvement over uw-imap thats for sure. I was wondering how many

Hi, I upgraded to test65 from 0.99 (mostly to get the namespace feature) and now it seems my .subscriptions and .customflags are showing up as mail folders in my IMAP client (Eudora). If I try and open those folders, of course I get an error. How can I configure dovecot so that these aren't displayed to my IMAP client? I looked through about 6 months of acrhives and couldn't find

Hi! I'm currently running RH 9 with postfix, uw-imap and MailScanner. I want to install Fedora Core 2 (when it comes out next week) with postfix, dovecot and amavisd. I'm unhappy with the problems I'm having with MailScanner, with the difficulty I've had with authentication as I am currently configured, and want to move to Maildir instead of mbox. That being said, is dovecot

Hi, I'm a newbie.Sorry for my question. I have RH9 & downloaded rpm of dovecot for RH9. I installed it: rpm -ivh nameOfthatrpm & when i ran #service dovecot start ,I recieved following lines: Starting IMAP daemon (dovecot): Fatal: Can't use SSL certificate /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: No such file or directory

Hi , I recently installed Fedora Core 1. Installed postfix on it and that is running fine. I am trying to get dovecot to run and I have changed only the following line from the default dovecot.conf : imap_listen = 127.0.0.1 since I'd like to install squirrelmail later on. Now when I try to start dovecot I get "Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: Can't resolve address

Hi, I have tried to use the same Maildir dovecot uses with another program and encountered the problem that Dovecot seems to move files from new to cur in maildir-sync.c::maildir_scan_dir without adding an info part. On the page http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html is written that mails have to be renamed to uniq:info when moved to the cur directory. Could this be a bug in dovecot? --

Hello there, We want to move from UW-IMAP to Dovecot (mbox format), works like a charm, but UW-IMAP has that bloody habbit to make a stupid message in all his mailbox files : From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Apr 19 10:30:01 2001 Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:30:01 +0200 From: Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON at mailhub2-vil.isdnet.net> Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA

Hello, I'm trying to install R on a linux machine running Red Hat 8. I ran ./configure make and get the following error. I've installed several versions of R (2.2.1 most recently) on this machine and haven't had any problems until now. I wondered if the outdated compiler (gcc version 3.2) was the problem and attempted to install my own, more recent version. I tried gcc versions 4.1.0

Hi all! I have a strange problem with Dovecot - deleted messages never seem to get deleted on the server! Deleted messages just seem to get a 'T' at the end of them on the server and remain there, so user mail boxes continue to grow to incredible sizes. Is this a setting I must change somewhere? Must I delete these files manually? Leslie

Trying to crank it up on our RedHat 8.0 system... I get the following.. I am sure it is something simple in the config.. just don't know what... Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hi, We are thinking of converting to Dovecot to lighten our I/O load. I have done some performace tests comparing UW-IMAP to Dovecot when using mbox format if anyone is interested. They primarily examine the I/O improvements that can be gained from using Dovecot over UW when staying with mbox format: http://whizzo.uoregon.edu/public/src/mailperf/results.html I had too much cached for this set
