Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this?

Is it possible to mix maildir and mbox formats with dovecot? For example, I would like ~/mail to be in maildir format yet keep the inbox (/var/mail/%u) in mbox format. If so, how may I go about this? Or am I stuck not being able to create subdirectories in ~/mail? Cheers, Shane

Background: I'm running a RH9 box with Dovecot 0.99.11. Dovecot was installed using yum and the rpm found on http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/. With two exceptions I've been enormously happy with Dovecot. I'm even happier having recently successfully installed pop-before-smtp sop one exception down. However the other problem I've experienced is becoming critical. I've

Hi I have been using Dovecot 0.99.11 and 1.0-test52 on a server with about 2000 accounts. All has been working good until a few days ago. Now I'm stuck and can't work out whats going on. The problem seems to be only with Outlook/outlook express clients. If the mail is large with an attachment its fails. After you hit the send and receive button after a while Outlook express gives the

Test58 and test59 breaks "compact folders" and "expunge" in thunderbird and evolution. Messages marked for deletion just sit there as if compacting folders or expunging have no effect. Thunderbird continues to behave erratically with dovecot test builds. I haven't been able to test the imap_client_workarounds=tb-negative-fetch option yet as I'm still running test52.

Hello, this patch adds initial response support for NTLM and RPA authentication mechanism. It can be useful if dovecot acts as authentication backend for SMTP server. RFC2554 permits initial response in AUTH command, so it's legal to send NTLM type 1 message or RPA token 1 in it. Please consider applying. Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke at

Hello, attached patch allows LM authentication for older (Win9x) clients which do not pass NTLM response in type 3 message. It also fixes crash in dovecot-auth (empty credentials could be passed to hex_to_binary function if NTLM2 was negotiated). Please consider applying.

http://dovecot.org/test/ I have very high hopes that mbox support is finally stable in this version. I've been running some stress tests for an hour now without it breaking (well, there are two potential problems but I think they were just fixing previous breakages). Before it took only a few minutes at most to break. - fixes several mbox syncing problems, especially expunges

Hi all! I have upgraded Dovecot 0.99.11 installation that's worked with LDAP to Dovecot 1.0-test52 and I can't get LDAP to work. I noticed the /etc/dovecot.conf is slightly different, so I have adjusted changes. If I use the standard auth (passw & pam) everything works fine, however when I user ldap for auth Dovecot starts but then dies: dovecot: Nov 26 14:14:36 Error: Auth process

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending

I've been working on setting up a Dovecot server with a maildir mailboxes stored over NFS. Initially, everything was working great, and then I started seeing this error as previously discussed on the list in my maillog: (mail_index_expunge): assertion failed: (!t->view->external) Timo, in another thread, suggested to remove line 247 in mail-index-transaction.c in the test52

dovecot-1.0.10 on Solaris 10 x86, with NFS. We currently have the problem that when customers go over their disk quota, the dovecot-uidlist file stops them from logging in. In the interest of solving it, we considered moving the CONTROL file to a different file system. But: 1: Using CONTROL= with "%u" will quite quickly run into the problem that the directory will fill up, and hit

If a user doesn't have a ~/mail directory and logs in, the directory is created for them. However, it is created with insecure permissions, 0770 (full group access). The problem is this bit in src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c: #define CREATE_MODE 0770 /* umask() should limit it more */ The code then uses CREATE_MODE as an argument to mkdir_parents(), but mkdir_parents()
