similar to: Migrating from mbox to maildir: Message ordering?

Since upgrading from dovecot-2.1.rc1 to dovecot-2.1.rc3, some clients are showing a .subscriptions file in the user's mbox path as a folder. Some clients such as T'bird on Mac OS X create this file listing subscribed mbox files. Other clients such as T'bird on Windows XP show this file as a folder in the folder list even though it cannot be accessed as a folder (dovecot returns CANNOT

Hi, all. At home, I have a mailbox where mbox is the default (for inbox and some smaller mailboxes) and all my lists are in a Maildir format. I'm building a mailstore server at work where I want to use Maildir as the default mailstore, but I want to keep mbox on the side to aid in archiving messages. My configs are as follows for mail location and namespaces: Home: mail_location =

Coming back to the idle client, and clicking on a newly arrived >> message, often a long delay (seems like minutes, sometimes) will >> occur before the message loads from the server. >> 2. Sending messages, as often as not, the client will stall, >> sometimes indefinitely, on "copying message to sent folder". >> >

Yesterday, did the following. Two lockups since then. Recent freetype had just cured some anomalies and now this. One lock while I slept, the other a few moments ago while active at the KB. Had Evolution, Firefox and T'bird open among two users on a single X console. No unusual stuff. Desktop install, fully up-to-date 4.3, i386 (Athalon). 1) see anything wrong below? 2) I'm seriously

Might have some kind of bug here. I want to know if anybody else is seeing this. It's happened twice now, so I should be able to repeat it. $ rpm -q centos-release centos-release-5-2.el5.centos On my desktop, I "su -" to another user. Then "nohup thunderbird", it gets the mail and plays the announcement. ISTM this is an error right off the bat as this user is not the

Hi, all. About two and a half years ago, I wrote a hack to add an additional MD5-based password scheme to Dovecot, but I wrote it as a hack to src/auth/password_scheme.c since it was relatively easy to do, and I needed to get a machine running since the machine I was replacing, a Sun Ultra 5 running Post.Office, had dying hard drives. Now, I'm actually sitting down and adapting it as a

Hi, all. Just been testing out the latest "CVS" (in quotes because I'm rsyncing the source tree) versions of Dovecot lately. Tested having Pine on the machine on which Dovecot was running, talking IMAP, as well as another Pine instance, this time from my Windows machine over the wire. Things seem to be working wonderfully. Deleted a message using one instance, then refreshed the

Hi, all. I managed to get my new password scheme routine written, but a couple of things: 1. The example module lacks an init routine. Since I used it as a model, my module also lacks one. As such, my newly-built module is seen but not registered. In the meantime, I moved the routines into password-scheme.c instead where I had access to all the MD5 routines already set up for me. 2.

I use offlineimap to sync my remote IMAP-server with my local IMAP-server (maildir format). But I don't understand this behavior: every new mail in the INBOX has a file-date which is one hour in the future. Is this 'normal'? Is this a problem of offlineimap? I tried this debugging (for dovecot): mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap and this (for offlineimap):

Hi I have use dovecot together with offlineimap to download my gmail account on a single user computer and I have only one maildir (~/Maildir). As I switched to Mac, I would like to use spotlight to index my mails, which apparently does not work as they are in hidden directories (.directories). So I would like to change to LAYOUT=fs. Is there an easy way to migrate my email structure? I have

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python

Hello, To easily access my mail both offline on my computer and on my phone, I am synchronizing a local copy on my computer using offlineimap. As the spam filtering options provided on the server are not sufficient, I am now looking into client-side spam filtering. My current setup is as follows. Mail is synchronized using offlineimap, and delivered to a local dovecot server:

Pursuing some rpm verify errors exposed while investigating my T'bird/FF problem, a prelink -am gives this, and other, error. prelink: /usr/lib/esc-1.0.0/xulrunner/xulrunner-bin: Could not find one of the dependencies Ran # ldd /usr/lib/esc-1.0.0/xulrunner/xulrunner-bin|grep 'not found' libmozjs.so => not found libxpcom.so => not found libxul.so =>

Hi, all. I know that there's no official Dovecot 1.0-stable .deb, given Timo's recommendations. However, does anyone have even an "unofficial" deb of it for, say, Sarge? I want to use 1.0's ability to use both mbox and maildir; the latter is very helpful for dealing with mailing lists. Thanks in advance for any help. --Ian.

Hi all, I am new to dovecot. I am trying to use offlineimap + dovecot + gnus for some emails on multiple machines. I need to use org-mode capture links on emails. I want to know if the same email will have the same IMAP UID on different machines given that they are synced by offlineimap to a local maildir and served by dovecot respectively. Best, Shiquan -- ??? Shiquan Wang

Now that gmail added imap, I've been trying to see if I can sync gmail/imap with my local dovecot maildir. I've been trying offlineimap. So far, I've created a loop resulting in a directory with size > 1000000 entries. Anyone try this and have a working setup?

Hi. I'm new to IMAP, but just tried uw-imapd and then dovecot in conjuction with offlineimap. I'm using Debian package version 0.99.14-1 and have my mail in mbox format. One of the first things that annoys me about both programs is that as soon as you read a mailbox over imap, the imapd changes all "new" messages to "old". It seems to have the assumption that the

Dear mailng list of OpenSSH There is a very small bug in openssh-2.1.1p4. After extracted openssh-2.1.1p4.tar.gz, a file named "openssh.spec" for constructing an rpm file of SuSE linux in "openssh-2.1.1p4/contrib/suse/". A small bug in the "openssh.spec" file brings about failure in constructing an rpm file. Line 171 in "openssh.spec" "install -m644

I have a dumb question, is it possible to use this combination: Synchronising a remote IMAP-server and a local dovecot-IMAP-server by offlineimap (with both types = IMAP), which works very well. But it seems, that my sieve-scripts on the local dovecot server are not recognised by this combination. Is there a good debugging way for this? -- Dieter Faulbaum Elektronenspeicherring BESSY II

Hi, I'm using dovecot to serve up a Maildir created/served by offlineimap. The layout is typical (as far as I know) of maildirs, with the root folder having cur, tmp, new, and subfolders being a folder within the root folder. Since I'd previously used Evolution to access this maildir, my subfolders were actual subfolders (separator /). Anyway, it all works spiffingly well, except that I
