similar to: Extremely Slow Pop3 Downloads, Evolution 2.0.2

As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches: * segfault when user home directory is empty * Proper PAM service name * Make suid work on 2.6 kernels Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a

In what must surely be the first sign of the apocalypse, Debian is actually freezing in preperation for a new release. Probably the last day for uploads will be August 17. Is there likely to be another dovecot release by then? In the event of 0.99.10.9 being the released version, are there any other patches Debian users would like me to include? -- Jaldhar H.

Just wondering: Has anyone, or is anyone planning to, build debs for 0.99.12? Jaldhar Vyas, are you still around and doing such things? Paul

Well, I seem to have tracked down what's going on with Evolution and Dovecot. It seems that Evolution has defaulted to checked for spam server side using Spamd on Fedora Core 3 without downloading the mail. It seems that spamd is the culprit in all this as it's trying to analyze pop3 mail without simply downloading all the new mail. I turned off the spam checking option in evolution and

I finally got some free time and uploaded 1.0alpha4. It will arrive in the archive by tomorrow afternoon. Together with the most recent libssl0.9.8 upgrade I think this will fix the SSL problems users have been facing. -- Jaldhar H.

Greetings all, I'm a new user of Dovecot and want to say thanks for the great software. I am having a problem at the moment. I run a heterogeneous network with windows and Mac clients logging into a Fedora Linux 2 box running sendmail and previously UW-IMAP, but now Dovecot. I am using strictly pop3, plain authentication with mbox format. Every computer in the network is working fine with

I thought I'd mention it here because a lot of people have been waiting for me on this. My personal situation is getting saner now so I finally was able to package up 0.99.8.1. The package for sid was uploaded last night and should appear in the archive today. A backport for woody is available from http://www.braincells.com/open/ I have not included POP3, LDAP or SASL2 support for now as I

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/). Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i386.changes searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any

Hello everybody, sorry for stupid qustion, but I have following problem: I succesfully installed Dovecot on Debian (from source). Now I want to run it. I tryed: # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot # but nothing happened: # ps -Af | grep dove ....... ps -Af | grep dove # What is wrong? I want Dovecot to serve POP3 over SSL. Many thanks and sorry again :o)

Hi, I'm the Debian maintainer of UW-Imap. Like many I'm somewhat frustrated with the limitations of it so I am very pleased to see that Dovecot is becoming a strong alternative. I have uploaded packages of 0.99.4 to the Debian unstable distribution (sid). Because this is a new package it has to be added by hand so it may be a while before it shows up in sid. In the mean time, I have

Hallo Everyone, since some days a new dovecot version is available in Debian "wheezy-backports": (1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1) wheezy-backports As described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib and http://www.dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-2.2 "xz"-compression is available since Dovecot version 2.2.9. Today I tried to convert my mailboxes with the new xz compression. Therfore I changed

I've packaged 0.99.10.4. Owing to the continued downtime on the Debian servers, I've temporarily put the .debs up on my own site. The URL is http://www.braincells.com/debian/ A backport to woody is also available. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

Well, the backports.org people finally installed my backport of the latest stable version of dovecot.

I uploaded 0.99.10.8 to Debian but I needed the patch below to get it to compile. --- dovecot-0.99.10.8.orig/src/auth/db-mysql.h +++ dovecot-0.99.10.8/src/auth/db-mysql.h @@ -1,7 +1,8 @@ #ifndef __DB_MYSQL_H #define __DB_MYSQL_H -#include <mysql.h> +#include <mysql/mysql.h> +#include <mysql/errmsg.h> struct mysql_connection; struct mysql_request; -- Jaldhar H.

Dear Timo, What do you think of this? Fyi, I've been getting the same thing lately and I'm wondering if gnutls is to blame? (i've had inexlicable SIGSEGVs in other apps before due to it.) Tomorrow I'll try with openssl but I was wondering if you had any other ideas? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org> La Salle Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

As promised yesterday :) BTW. I just found libsqlora8 library yesterday and I've been playing with Oracle mail storage support. Shouldn't take too long to get it working.
