similar to: pop3 usernames

Greetings, I'm migrating from a sendmail/dovecot setup with system users to a postfix/dovecot maildir setup with virtual users. To simplify the mess we've gotten into by having users that can't remember their username, we've switched to email address being the username. In order to allow for a smooth migration, I need to allow users to be able to login with their email address as

Dear list, I am planing to set up dovecot-imapd on my production-mail server which currently only runs pop3 via qpopper on debian-sarge. It would be best, if I could only use imapd and use the existing pop3- server (qpopper) as it is. Is this possible? Can the user both use pop3 (qpopper) and imapd (dovecot) in parallel then? Where does dovecot-imapd store its mails? Does it store its mail in

Qpopper has a compile time option '--enable-auto-delete Automatically delete downloaded msgs' Is there anything similar in dovecot. I'm trying to migrate from qpopper to dovecot any help is appreciated.

Hi, We just migrated our IMAP service to Dovecot and it performs very well. We also want to migrate our POP3 service (qpopper) to Dovecot. The problem is that Dovecot and Qpopper differently act on expired passwords: Qpopper: -ERR "user": password expired. Dovecot: -ERR Authentication failed. Are there any way to tell Dovecot to report about expired passwords? We have about 30000

Hi All, Our test users re-download the mail they've left on the server when they switch from Qpopper to Dovecot. Qpopper includes the X-UIDL header - X-UIDL: X8V"!E)<"!58?"!"9C"! - on read messages. Any suggestions are appreciated. I've included my dovecot configuration. Thank you, Tristan --- Tristan Tristan Goguen CEO, ILAP? T: 416-250-5600 ext. 205 F:

Hello, With qpopper you get something like this after a successful login: --- +OK test has 6 visible messages (0 hidden) in 11822 octets. --- This gives a clueful user or support people a quick status about the size of this mailbox, very helpful in full quota scenarios. Would be nice if the next dovecot would have such a feature as well. I doubt the same is (easily) applicable for IMAP (though

package logcheck-database tags 125794 pending tags 191637 pending thanks I've been running the latest version of qpopper from unstable for a few days and I've added the following rules to CVS: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.qpopper\[[0-9]+\]: connect from [._[:alnum:]-]+$ ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ in.qpopper\[[0-9]+\]: \(v[.[:digit:]]+\) POP login by user

Hello, I'm attempting to move form qpopper 4.1 to Dovecot 2.2.5 on Linux. When a user checks POP mail qpopper seems to make a .username.pop temporary file in the same /var/mail directory as the mbox INBOX file. Watching what dovecot does I don't see this happening. Is this .pop file a lock file or just a temporary file? If its a temp file does dovecot do the same thing elsewhere?

Hi, I did some performance testing with dovecot and qpopper, if anyone is interested.. Hardware: Dual Xeon 2.8 with HT enabled (dmesg sees 4 cpu-s), 1 GB RAM, SCSI RAID 1 with 2x Maxtor Atlas 10K V disks. Software: CentOS 4.3, Qpopper 4.08 in standalone mode vs Dovecot 1.0-0_19.rc6, ext3 filesystem Mailbox format Mbox, tested Pop3 with PAM authentication My setup had 15 test users with 15

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a

I use Samba 2.2.0 on small network. I use "security = user" and "username map" to map some Win-users to unix users. I have simple testing file with username mapping: root = vlad It is supposed that when I connect to samba as user "Vlad" with vlad's password I get the root's rigths to shares. Right? But when I try to connect to samba as "vlad"

Hello, does anybody know how to make XUIDLs compatible to qpopper? I'm migrating from qpopper and one of my test-migration-accounts leaves the mail on the server. As soon as I switch to dovecot it downloads the mails again and again.. bye! Dominik

Heya, We are in the process of migrating from qpopper to dovecot as POP3 server (and IMAP as well) and we hit the UIDL issue with dovecot. Qpopper uses its own algorithm to create UIDL values and if you set it up to write them down in the mbox file as X-UIDL, then dovecot can use them (pop_uidl_reuse = yes). But if you don't use that feature from qpopper, than X-UIDLs are missing and there

hi all, I am hoping to convert a 350K user qpopper installation using mbox to dovecot and maildir (pop3 only). many of the users "leave mail on server", and qpopper's UIDL format isn't (yet) supported by dovecot. since the UIDLs have been written by qpoppper to the existing mbox files (and will be preserved when the mboxes are converted to maildir) it would be possible to do

I'd like to revisit and old post if I may, will/does Dovecot support the old qpopper "Bulletin" ability? Basically I need a simple way of posting bulletins to all domain users. Qpopper maintained a bulletin db for each user and sent them the next bulletin in sequence. Thanks in advance Kevin

I currently have a Centos server with Sendmail and Qpopper supporting about 50 mail users. I am planning to replace Qpopper with Dovecot to allow some users to have IMAP access to their mail (others will still use POP3.) Is there anything special to be aware of in setting up this migration? Thanks for your comments. Gerald

I am testing migration from Qpopper 4.0.5 and have come across a problem. Dovecot dies while processing UIDL command when accessing malformed Qpopper's mbox which has duplicated "From " separator. Qpopper occasionally makes such header while rewriting mbox. In the attached file, unnecessary "From " at line 3. ---------------- * Dovecot 1.0.0 on Debian 4.0(x86) * ext3

Hello, [Old problem; if it was fixed, I cannot see it (checked Changelog, wiki, source, as much as my grepping counts). Any help appreciated.] I have been begging since 2003 to be able to trash qpopper and use dovecot, but statistical logging of dovecot has been pretty much absent. Qpopper does this: Aug 19 11:18:02 mail in.qpopper[8099]: Stats: userid 0 0 12 51773 user.example.com

It also got the bulletin out to new users without admin intervention.

Hi, I wrote an interprocedural instrumentation pass that needs to run on all program at once. However, when I try to test it on large programs (say bzip2 or gcc) I find that the way LLVM tools do not easilly replace the default ones used in makefiles. So building large projects is not straightforward. Is there a simple way to do this conversion? Thank you, Dan
