Hi :) I hope this short example shows what problem I have: # returns users homedir from /etc/passwd grep user1 /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f6 # result: /home/group-subdir/user1 And the logfile... #maillog imap-login: Login: user1 [192.168.0.253] imap(user1): mkdir(/home/user1/Maildir/.Trash) failed: No such file or directory Why Dovecot tries to create /home/user1/Maildir/.Trash

Dear all, I am trying to migrate one of our systems to dovecot. We were using uw-imapd in black-box-mode before. Since the home-directory of a user is not unique per definition on our systems, we have kind of a different setup. As an example: I got a user, let's say user1. It's home directory is /local/web/websites/5850844095/www. This directory has the following permissions: # ls -la

Hi, We're getting a lot of errors like this: Mar 7 10:02:35 imapserver dovecot: imap(user1): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/user1/mail/mail/INBOX.Trash (8 > 2, seq=2,idx_msgs=6) We have several hundred people using the server, and at least 22 have had this error in the past 24 hours. The numbers at the end change between each user, which I guess you'd

This is in my dovecot.conf default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%1u/%u/ my mail ia in/var/mail/vhosts/anawebdesigns.com/user1/cur, new, tmp As you can guess these are virtual accounts. Auth works but mail is not found. How do I need to modify the line in dovecot.conf? Thanks. -- -- Michael H. Collins It's us against them. Ride like you stole it. If you love some code, set it

Hello, Over the last 12 hours or so, I've been wrestling with a mysterious dovecot issue. After upgrading a mail server I'm helping my friend with maintaining from Fedora Core1 to Fedora Core4, I realized that I couldn't use UW-IMAP4 anymore (well, I can compile it myself, but it turned out that UW-IMAP was the main cause of the server's having load average as high as 30 from

All, I'm trying to teach dovecot to use the mbox format for /var/mail/%u and maildir for /home/%u/Mail/ but I'm having quite a hard time. This is Dovecot v1.0.beta3 under OpenBSD 3.9 on sparc64. I've been fiddling with default_mail_env and also tried separate namespaces, but all to no avail. Here's some of the things I tried : default_mail_env =

Hi, I am running Dovecot Version 1.0.15on a Debian server, with postfix and postfixadmin. My mailbox base is /var/mail/vmail When I send an email to a user1 at domain.com for the first time, the user "mail" creates a set of dovecot folders under /var/mail/vmail/ user1 at domain.com/ and my new emails are found in /var/mail/vmail/ user1 at domain.com/new When I test my server using

I was told to use dovecot because it was easier than cyrus. I just upgraded from fc1 to fc3. I am not sure what fc1 used but I think it was cyrus and it worked perfect out of the box no configurations to do. The new cyrus-imapd is not so simple so I got dovecot. I see examples saying to use mbox=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u but when I try that I cannot map mail folders that reside

Hi all, I'm trying to replace the "Public Folders" functionality in Exchange server. At first I thought it'd be something easily do-able with an IMAP server so I immediately thought of Dovecot. I setup what I though would work and things started to go a little screwy with subscription settings and the like. I started off by making a public maildir folder (in

Hi, Been reading a lot of posts about dovecot configuration, but can't really figure out if what I want is even possible or how to achieve this. My setup is simple : One linux machine that collects mail from my provider and sorts them for me and my wife, where my email is stored in Maildir format in ~myuser/.maildir and my wife's email is stored in mbox format in

Hello, The Wiki indicates that Dovecot can do either mbox or Maildir on a per-user basis: default_mail_env can be overridden in userdb for each user. This works with userdbs supporting the "mail" attribute (eg. passwd-file, SQL, LDAP). How exactly does one do this for passwd-file? Thanks, -Jon -- Jon Nathan jon at rupture.net

I have trouble to get my INBOX-mbox to work properly. I have set the default_mail_env, to this.. "default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u" Since my users are using thier home-dirs to store folders and old mails, and recieving them in /var/mail/username. But when logging in i get this.. Sep 9 12:25:23 angelica imap-login: Login: username [217.151.192.103] Sep 9

Hi We have an mailserver running RedHat Linux 9.0 with UW-IMAP (imap-2001a- 18.progeny.1.src.rpm), we have user mailboxes in /var/spool/mail/username using the default mbox storage method. Some users have home directories and some dont. They only connect through the POP3 server, not IMAP. We are now migrating both hardware and software to an new server running RHEL 4, i have copied all

Hi, compiled perfectly, so the patch of course work ;), but seems that I had the conf a bit broken, because he doesn't read the new messages in /var/mail/user, does the line: #default_mail_env = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username look good?, I also tryed with %h instead of username, the rest of the conf is pretty standard, I can create folders and so on. Regards Alvaro

I'm trying to set up dovecot and I'm running into a few problems. I just want to use IMAP for one user, everyone else gets POP3 from the existing (working server). $MAIL is set to /var/spool/mail/gavin_imap In my /var/spool/mail directory I now have a problem: -rw------- 1 gavin_im mail 1392 Oct 14 22:28 gavin_imap -rw------- 1 gavin_im popusers 0 Oct 14 21:54

hi guys, we are experiencing this particular problem with one of the webmail server we manage. the server is using dovecot as pop3 and imap server while sendmail is being used as mta. when this user tries to login via telnet, this is what i've got: $ telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. +OK dovecot ready.

I have dovecot-0.99.10.5 on Fedora Core 2 installed and otherwise operating using Maildir format for the folders, Kmail as the email client. Got through all the ssl and other security configuration fine, but have one last problem: I can't read the incoming mail from /var/spool/mail/%u. Tried several 'default_mail_env' settings, including none at all, to no avail. When I try to
