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 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

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

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 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'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

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

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

I'm wondering what I'd need to do to get the "important" flag set on an incoming message according to a pre-specified header. I know the problem of this not being a "joined-up" feature in standard email, but in practice many MUAs set headers like X-priority etc, and IMAP has an "important" flag that is the obvious mapping. I'm not really sure where

Hi Friends! An opinion. I would like to facilitate the configuration of one's mail client (desktop or mobile) to my users server. Some time ago I asked the same question and you suggested me to use "Automx". So I started of good will and I looked for the Automx documentation. And here the problems started as I found several inconsistencies, even parameters (in official

Running dovecot on Solaris 8 sparc with SylpheedClaws as the MUA. I tried moving to many messages from a folder to my maildir folder, which is a local directory on the dovecot server. Now, I cannot open the folder due to this message: 'Mar 20 10:26:15 sws601.mcsun.local imap(amoore): [ID 702911 mail.error] Timeout while waiting for release of shared fcntl() lock for index file

I'm new here, but I'll just jump right in. I've been using Dovecot with Fedora for a bit with the default mbox format. I recently transitioned to the Maildir format since some users were getting mailboxes in excess of 1GB in size, which made expunging and flagging no easy task. Anyway, it appears now with Maildir, that customflags are "added" instead of

Dear All, I have few question regarding dovecot configuration for specific need which are as follows:- 1. I have IMAP folder with the name Sent Mail and i want whenever client uses any MUA to send mail from my server his mail must be kept in server's IMAP folder which is Sent Mail instead of local Sent folder. 2. Whenever user configures account in MUA, MUA automatically

Dear All, I want that if someone delete the mail from SPAM folder mail must be deleted permanently instead of moving the same to Trash folder. Is it possible with the dovecot right now ? Please let me know the solution for the same. Thanks

Hi all I am missing something on the the pop3 "leave messages" rationale. Although the UIDL feature solves for the MUA the problem "whch mails should be downloaded", how the duration that these mails should be kept on server, say 10 days for one MUA and 20 days for another MUA for the same account, is resolved on the server? thanks in advance -- ????????? ???????????

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A feature of Cyrus-IMAPd I really missed after migrated to Dovecot is their optional "duplicate suppression", which eliminates duplicate message at deliver time, if their envelope sender, recipient and message-id matches. For example, if one subscribes to a mailing list, and someone hit "Reply All" to reply to him, there
