Hello, I'm sorry if this is a repeat, a few choice searches into google didn't help and I found no search for the archives. I can no longer put of moving away from UW-IMAP. Dovecot certainly seems to be the right choice, but I am having problems getting it to do what I need it to for all my mail. The machine is running the dist version, 0.99.12. I have a system mailbox and a large MH

I've recently switched from Courier-imap to dovecot and I'm impressed with it's speed and reliability. However, my index file gets regularly corrupted: Feb 8 21:23:16 hive imap(hart): Corrupted index file /home/hart/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index: index.next_uid (129) > uid_rec.uid (128) dovecot version: 0.99.13-3 Debian sid) I use dovecot in combination with mutt, procmail and

Hi, I?m running dovecot 2.2.13 and I ran into a weird problem. A user migrated his mailboxes by letting users copy them from their old server to the new one through their MUA. All that went fine except for one very weird instance. The user is running Outlook 2010. The user has a sub-folder structure which dovecot places as dotted names beneath the Inbox. (E.g. Maildir/.my.sub.folders). After

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ... Sent Drafts Queue Trash Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:

Is there anyway to make dovecot create Sent, Draft, etc folder automatically? Or is this the job for a MUA?

Hi Friends! An opinion. I would like to facilitate the configuration of one's mail client (desktop or mobile) to my users server. Some time ago I asked the same question and you suggested me to use "Automx". So I started of good will and I looked for the Automx documentation. And here the problems started as I found several inconsistencies, even parameters (in official

I have read and read the dovecot docs on maildir folders and think that this is what I want. However, the MUA programs that I use, SylpheedClaws, Evolution, Mozilla seem to react differently to how I setup the folders. Is there a good FAQ on this subject somewhere? I think that I want to setup a virtual domain and am looking for documents. Alex

Using dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2 I grabbed a bunch of Mailman archive files from the Weather mailing list here: <http://www.buoy.com/pipermail/weather/> I gunzipped the older ones, then concatenated them all in correct order to create one big mbox file. I dropped it into my ~/mail folder and started my IMAP client (Mulberry) and opened the new Weather folder. It shows one gargantuan

Dear List, I seem to have created myself a problem to which I can't find an answer. I am using Dovecot (0.99.13-4.FC2 on Fedora Core 2) with Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows XP and Linux as IMAP client software. I renamed a folder to a name that included spaces (it fitted the pupose better), then later realised that I would have to change my procmail rules to suit. As I wasn't sure what

Hello- I have set up Dovecot before and feel fairly comfortable with it but am having some issues with a new setup and have not been able to find a solution via Google or the list archives. I use offlineiimap to sync an IMAP account with an email provider. After the sync is complete, my ~/Maildir is set up with a folder called INBOX (with cur,new,tmp inside) and all my other folders set up at

Hi, I would like to have an address info at example.com whose mails are stored in a public folder. I also want certain users to be able to create sieve-filter-rules and subfolders. From what I understand it's a good idea to have a separate location for home and for mail_location. For my normal accounts I have: home = /var/vmail/<user> mail_location = ~/Maildir Is there a way to

Dear All, I have few question regarding dovecot configuration for specific need which are as follows:- 1. I have IMAP folder with the name Sent Mail and i want whenever client uses any MUA to send mail from my server his mail must be kept in server's IMAP folder which is Sent Mail instead of local Sent folder. 2. Whenever user configures account in MUA, MUA automatically

Hi all I am missing something on the the pop3 "leave messages" rationale. Although the UIDL feature solves for the MUA the problem "whch mails should be downloaded", how the duration that these mails should be kept on server, say 10 days for one MUA and 20 days for another MUA for the same account, is resolved on the server? thanks in advance -- ????????? ???????????

Hi everyone, My goal is to sample from a two-dimensional grid. Consider the following example of code: n.grid <- 500 muA.grid <- seq(-4,4, length=n.grid) muB.grid <- seq(-4,4, length=n.grid) mu.p <- matrix(NA, nrow=n.grid, ncol=n.grid) for(i in 1:n.grid){ for(j in 1:n.grid){ mu.p[i,j] <- dnorm(muA.grid[i], 0, 1)*dnorm(muB.grid[j], 0, 0.5) } } mu.p <-

... when the MUA has issued a FETCH? ? I am a Dovecot newbie ... so please bear with me if this is obvious. Basically what I am trying to do is process the mail body (in my own specific way) before Dovecot serves it up to the MUA. I want to do it as a transient operation in memory. So think of the scenario as ... ? - the MUA issues a FETCH ? - Dovecot intercepts the FETCH ? - Dovecot internally

I'm wondering what I'd need to do to get the "important" flag set on an incoming message according to a pre-specified header. I know the problem of this not being a "joined-up" feature in standard email, but in practice many MUAs set headers like X-priority etc, and IMAP has an "important" flag that is the obvious mapping. I'm not really sure where

Hello Does anyone knows if it is possible to manage a personnal address book with Dovecot and IMAP ? I mean would it be possible to store it in the IMAP user's space and not in the MUA address book in order to always retrieve it even changing on machine / MUA ? Thanks

Hi folks, I run a legacy mailserver that i had replaced courier-imap for dovecot 1.2. Everything is fine except for shared namespace. Maildir structure has been created using dot '.' as folder separator. It happens that all our users are created as name.surname as default. So when I want to select a shared folder, MUA end up with the following IMAP command: select

Hi fellow list members, What would be the best way to add the .Sent,.Draft, etc. folders to the maildir tree? It seems not Dovecots task to do that but of the MUA. I have seen several options. Use of skel but that works only for new system users. I have only virtual users preloaded in a database. I've discoverred that ONLY Roundcube add the folders (if configured to do that) but I've

I have the most interesting problem... I've compiled dovecot from CVS with a checkout on 2002-12-15 around 23:00 PST. When I select a message in my MUA I can view it and stuff, however, if I select another message, or folder, the message disappears. It appears that dovecot shortens the Maildir message name to ":2,S" and then you can't access the message from the MUA again.
