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

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

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

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

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

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 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? --

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, 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

Hello. I am trying to setup Dovecot on an Alpha running FreeBSD 4.10. I am simply trying the imap/pop3 protocols at this time.

Greetings! We've got a neat little problem running Samba 1.9.18p8 on Solaris x86 2.5.1 and AFS on a dual-processor Dell PowerEdge 2200 w/ 128M RAM.
