Hi Guys, I may have missed something in the conf file but while using a standard mysql auth method I'm finding many dovecot-auth processing sitting doing nothing. They grow to the extent that mysql runs out of connections after a week. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm getting a very small amount of users getting message not found errors while downloading mail via POP. By the time they inform me and I switch on rawloging for them it works again. Any ideas where this is going wrong? Or at least a way I can diagnose it? It seems to have been happening since Alpha 1. Currently using pre-release of Alpha4. Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings

Hi, This may be a problem with my config file but I am finding that customers (and more importantly my boss) that are using outlook express when using test66/67 (upgraded from test60 + from address patch) are having message reappear after being fully deleted (not just marked) but are unreadable, sometimes blank headers appear too but again no message. Since it is affecting my boss he has told me

Hi, 2 or 3 customers have reported that they are having problems downloading their mail via. POP3. I have attached the rawlogs of their transactions and the UID list at the time. Is this because I am using an incompatible UID format or is something else at fault? Deleting the UID list and indexes fixes the problem. I am using Test72.

Hi, I don't know if this has been covered or not as I have been out of action most of the last few weeks getting married and stuff. My query / slight problem is when I re-install an IMAP client or change client all mails that have been read so far show an empty header with the date set back to 1970 but the mails are fully readable. New mails that weren't read in a previous client show

I just tried upgrading one of our mail cluster servers to test60 from test57. We have dovecot connecting to 3 different MySQL tables in 3 sql conf files. The error seems to stem from this: Jan 13 14:57:59 svr21 dovecot: auth(sql8): file auth-client-connection.c: line 31 (auth_client_send): assertion failed: (conn->refcount > 1) After this the auth process gets killed with signal 6.

Hi, While investigating the problem with Thunderbird auths I found the following happening: Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. CAPA +OK CAPA TOP USER UIDL RESP-CODES PIPELINING SASL PLAIN .

Hi guys, OK, so I am trying to find out why the POP3 AUTH / IMAP AUTHORIZE command is not doing what it is supposed to (not sure if it just for me or what). I am getting as far as: sasl-server.c - line 123 - mech = auth_client_find_mech(auth_client, mech_name); auth_client_find_mech is in auth-client.c which is where I am getting lost. My guess is we are not returning back to sasl-server.c

Hi Guys, Unoffical patch for mech-plain so the AUTH PLAIN command works with SQL (and possibly other DBs). Thunderbird should work again after this. --- mech-plain.c 2004-12-10 01:56:51.065987304 +0000 +++ mech-plain.c 2004-12-10 01:53:16.974534152 +0000 @@ -27,7 +27,10 @@ authid = (const char *) data; authenid = NULL; pass = ""; - count = 0; +

Some of my users seem to be receiving the same e-mail over and over. This doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while it seems to get stuck in a loop. Is it possible that dovecot is the culprit here or is this a problem with something else? I'm running Postfix/amavisd/dovecot on Slackware 10.1. Regards, Savage

I've been searching, and I can't find any rpms of dovecot stable for RHEL 4. Does anybody know where I can get one? Ever since we went from IMAP-UW to Dovecot, we've been having frequent problems with mbox corruption, and I've read that 1.0 fixes many of those types of problems. Has anybody else found an rpm for RHEL 4 of any Dovecot greater than 1.0? -- Topher Fischer System

http://dovecot.org/test/ Hopefully better release than last one. Fixes several problems test66 had and also some older problems reported in this list. It also contains a pretty large mbox code cleanup, fixing several problems (especially related to X-IMAP/X-IMAPbase headers) and making it a bit faster. Maybe I'll backport it to 1.0-stable too when it looks like it's stable.. BTW. mbox

Hello, Does dovecot require mysql in order to work? Fedora rpms are claiming mysql dependencies. I'm sure you're aware of the long-lived arguement of postgresql v. mysql. If it wasn't your intention to force this, then please snarl at Red Hat. If it was your intention, then grrrrr! Thanks for this product. I like it for it's speed and stability. Jim Edwards

Hi all, I have a problem with dovecot-alpha3 and pop3 protocol (on a tru64 5.1a...) In my Maildir/cur there are 8144 mails and if I use pop3 protocol I receive in the output 8146 line instead of 8144. The problem is that 2 mails are duplicated . The output of ?List? command is like: 1 51265 2 261783 . . . 2987 30291 2987 30291 (duplicated line) 2988 16631 . 4601 1231 4602 8921 4602 8921

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Several mbox fixes, upgrade recommended for test68 mbox users - Possibly fixes some IMAP hangs where Dovecot just stopped replying - Fixed delay-newmail workaround. It was badly broken before. And somewhat off topic advertisement: I got a bit distracted from Dovecot a week ago when a guy started mailing me about wanting to write an irssi2 client as a project to

Hi, I am using postgresql for my password and user databases. The problem is, that the information needed in the user database is held in more than one table. But it seems to me that dovecot expects to get all the information for mailbox, uid, gid and home in _one_ query. Is there a way to get around this? Maybe even getting some of this information by another way than pgsql (this is more a

Using my initd script (no idea of the origin now) to do a restart I randomly get: Jun 28 13:56:05 svr24 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Jun 28 13:56:05 svr24 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test74 starting up Jun 28 13:56:06 svr24 dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jun 28 13:56:06 svr24 dovecot: auth(default): net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.23322) failed: No such file or

Hi, My wife who has thousands of IMAP boxes keeps getting errors when moving mailboxes in Thunderbird in Windows. I am using the same server (dovecot test 77) with Thunderbird in Linux and don't see the problem. What happens is she moves the mail box and Thunderbird comes up with an error saying it can't access the old box (odd!?). It has however completed the move. The following

Hi, When upgrading to Alpha4pre I also changed UIDL format from %08Xv%08Xu to %08Xu%08Xv to be in line with future dovecot default. This caused the following error to happen on about 1% of mailboxes: file ostream-file.c: line 370 (stream_send_io): assertion failed: (fstream->io != NULL) Deleting dovecot-uidlist and indexes fixes this so its more of an FYI really. I always delete indexes on
