Hi there. I understood that in Dovecot 1.0 it should be possible to mix the usage of mbox and maildir mailboxes. I just downloaded, built, and am testing dovecot-stable-20050304. I'm a bit confused as to the terms of namespaces (haven't read that part of the RFC yet), but this does not seem related. Anyway, when I try specifying: default_mail_env = ~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u On

Hi there... Two questions: (1) Is there an easy way to have Dovecot recognize subdirectories that do not begin with a dot as sub-hierarchies? (2) Is there a way to have the root folder map to a certain other mbox/maildir? I want a setup like this: / -> $HOME/mbox /INBOX -> /var/spool/<username> /folder -> $HOME/mail/folder /folder/foo -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo

Hi there. Perhaps this is answered somewhere, but a short search through the mailing list and Wiki yielded nothing. We have spam filtering set up for all users, with all messages over some spam threshold going to a separate mbox. There is one directory containing the spam mboxes of all users (call it "/var/spool/spam", right now), with the spam box of a user residing in

Hi there... Having updated to 1.0.beta1, I for a while thought a bad bug with IDLE handling that caused new mail in INBOX not to appear when using Mozilla Thunderbird has been solved. Although I can not reproduce one kind of problem anymore, after a short while it again appears that one does not always see one's new mail with Thunderbird. I can not consistently reproduce the bug, but

Again, not a Dovecot issua - but can someone clarify better what IMAP subscriptions (SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE/LSUB) are and what they are used for? I've seen a few times in Microsoft mail clients, the options to subscribe to folders and to "show only subscribed folders". I haven't played much with them, though. But what's the actual point? Except for being returned in the

Hi there. I am unable to build the java/jdk14 port. I downloaded the patches and source distribution, and get some weird HotSpot error. I am not sure what the problem could be. Following is the relevant output of make on the port. Any ideas? -- Tom # Start of jdk build bsd i586 1.4.1-p3 build started: 03-04-07 12:16 Syntax error: "(" unexpected gmake[1]: Entering directory

(I am sorry to bother the list with something I should have verified myself right now - I simply do not have access to the source code here) Thinking of some limit I wanted to put with authentication, I am wondering - when Dovecot authenticates a user using PAM, now that (in 1.0) it passes the rhost item to PAM, it passes a hostname, not an IP address. Does it double-verify the DNS record

There seems to be a minor bug in the settings parsing code (as of today's dovecot-stable snapshot - 20050731) - after the closing bracket of protocol (imap/pop3) {} section, the parser still regards all options as affecting only that protocol and not globally (I have some options, protocol imap {}, protocol pop3 {}, and then some more options - now those latter options seem to only affect

In Dovecot 0.99, I recall somewhere I read it was possible for INBOX to be both a Maildir and an mbox in the same configuration (either automatically detected, or depending on the existence in a different location). Perhaps I was wrong, I'm not sure. Any way, I now became interested in this sort of setup: Most users have their spool an mbox in /var/mail/<username>, and then they

Hi there. Although it does not seem to be a Dovecot issue, I'm sending this here as people in this list may know better where exactly the problem is. I am working on Dovecot 1.0 (.alpha5, right now), with the aim that when Dovecot becomes stable we can put that into production. Recently after being more clear with the behaviour (I'm most into namespaces and mbox/maildir mixing issues,

A little problem, which is bugging me: when using PAM authentication, Dovecot (0.99.5) does not set the PAM_RHOST item, so the PAM modules cannot know who the client is. We need this for some PAM module doing access control. Changing passdb-pam.c to pam_set_item it seems trivial, but I'm bugged as to how to get the client name from there. It seems not to be available in the auth_request

Hi there. I am unsuccessfully trying to write a data DVD on FreeBSD 4.8. The writer is a Sony DVD RW DRU-500A on IDE. I'm using the atapicam driver. The media is a Sony DVD+RW which arrived with the writer. Both with cdrecord ProDVD (from the ports or otherwise) and dvdrtools I get a general SCSI retryable error message, when trying to write a data track or blank a DVD. I have no

Having finished a few other projects, I'm contemplating trying to write a new mailbox module which could be useful for us here. I would appreciate any guidance. Basically, I need (or rather, could use) a module that provides a merge of two mailboxes (which are themselves accessed by other modules), cascading them, so that: * The user sees one mailbox M, which contains all the messages in

This is actually something I had on my mind to write about in the past few -stable and alpha releases, but did not get to and instead always patched myself. Now having updated to the latest snapshot (which may be released as beta1), I stumbled on it again: In src/auth/passdb-pam.c, where the client host is passed to PAM, the code looks like this: #ifdef PAM_RHOST const char *host =

Having had many problems in the past with IDLE not working, new messages not being seen from Thunderbird, and sometimes garbage seen as part of mailboxes, I eventually added some workaround/sanity check patch to the imap_sync_deinit code to reread the offsets from the index and that solved the problem. Now with beta7 (I've previously used beta2), this seems not to be necessary anymore. I

http://dovecot.org/test/ Lots of bugfixes related to syncing. There's still some left. Somewhat working mbox support: - combined syncing/rewriting uses much less disk I/O than with older mbox code - expunges aren't working yet - last-uid field in X-IMAPbase header isn't updated - it's currently syncing the whole mbox constantly even if it hasn't changed - it

Timo, Regarding: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-January/006144.html I would like an estimate of where you are on the path to a released (dovecot-1.0). I have read your statement regarding the -stable series and am wondering when we see the first feature complete -beta of v1.0? Thank for your hard efforts. I have been a happy customer for about a year. Ray

Is it possible to have some folders be mbox and some be maildir format? Why you might ask? Sometime for diagnostics I have the Exim MTA archive certain messages in MBOX format and then I want to copy them into an imao folder to look at them with Thunderbird. When I used MBOX all I had to do was copy the file into a folder and it worked. So what I'd like to do is have a folder with a

As promised, here it is finally. v1.0 is getting nearer and I want people to start looking at Dovecot's sources. Getting some more help with development would be nice, but I'd also like to hear if there are any hidden bugs in the code. So, one week from now I'll start offering 1000 EUR for the first person to point out a remotely exploitable security hole in Dovecot. See
