similar to: pop3 messages not deleted

Hi, I noticed, that all messages are moved from new/ to cur/ (using maildirs) after the authentication in pop3, even before the list command. I'm working with 1.0-stable-20050426. Why is this done? Shouldn't a message keep it's new-attrib as long as it isn't retrieved? This is how it worked with qmail-pop3d. Through imap, it works correctly. It's just sad if I can't

Hello, for some reason dovecot doesn't start up. I'm using the default values in dovecot.conf, just changed the login_user, disabled ssl and ran sbin/dovecot, but nothing happens. No error's, I can't find any logs, no daemon anywhere, no ports bound... I don't know where to look and whatfor. I compiled with --enable-debug, but there's no extra output. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm working with dovecot 1.0.beta2 for pop3 only and have set index=memory, so no indizes are created on the disk. pop3_uidl_format is set to %f. The maildirs are located on an nfs-share. So generally, this setup is very similar to what qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d does. However, everytime I'm switching from qmail-pop3d to dovecot, the system load increases from less than 2 to more

Hello, today our dovecot imap server died. The following message appeared in the logfile: dovecot: Mar 23 07:00:58 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files We have one dovecot instance for pop3 and one for imap, so while the pop3-service was still available, the imap-service was not running any more. I've seen a lots of users keeping there imap-connections idle for hours, often more

Hello, I'm getting the following error while Mozilla Mail is downloading >4000 emails: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving message. Mail server xxx responded: Message is deleted. So what's the error? Can't I retrieve a message, that has been marked as deleted before? If the Mesage-ID wouldn't exist, the error message would be different. I don't know

Hello, from a server where neither a rsync daemon nor ssh is running I'm trying to backup the whole data with ftp. So my idea was to call rsync like this: rsync -v -a 'ftp://1.2.3.4/' my_folder But this gives me: ftp: unknown host ftp: unknown host ftp: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller

Hi, surely it can't and it shouldn't. I'm just wondering why a check for "INBOX" is done in src/imap/cmd-delete.c AND src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c. The first is clear because it gives an imap-error to the client. But for which case is the check in maildir-sorage.c? Just to be absolutely sure? The reason for me to ask is, because I need to disable

Hello, I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for multiple architectures are installed: yum install sqlite-devel Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.intergenia.de * updates: centos.intergenia.de * addons: centos.intergenia.de * extras: centos.intergenia.de base 100%

Hello, I've heard of both and I already tested and installed both, but I'm not sure which one is better, since both just seem to work and I can't see a difference, except from the point how it's set up and configured. Where are the drawbacks of each one, where are the benefits? I also tested cyrus before, but cyrus is not working well with maildirs. I'm not that into

Hello, if you log in at hotmail.com, gmx, lycos or yahoo, you can see something like "using 1.4mb of 250mb total". Is there any IMAP command to check to current quota usage? Our webmail-interface will not have access to the filesystem to summarize the size of each file, so an IMAP-command would be great. I don't know if this would be a new feature or just part of the Maildir++

Hello, I'm a bit afraid of users, the might slow down the server because of search requests to the imap-server on very large mailboxes. Even with a performant index, this could cause a lot of cpu and i/o-load. Is it possible to include the login-name in the imap process, so that a "ps ax" doesn't just give "imap", but e.g. "imap test at example.com"?

Hello, is dotlock supposed to work with NFS? I noticed that the default-locking method causes problems even with nfslockd started. Regards Marten

Hello, is it possible the change the folder separator from "." to "/"? Users shall be able to have folders like "Junk/aol.com/*". Regards Marten

Hello, I build dovecot tih --with-rawlog and created a folder dovecot.rawlog inside the root-dir of the mailbox (same level as new, cur and tmp). For testing purposes I set the env MAIL to the maildir and started libexec/imap. This generally works, but I can't find the promised logs of input and output. Where do I have to look for them? Regards Marten

Hello, I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh. This is what I wrote yet: src="/vrmd/webserver/" today=`date +%F` #link_dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/2004-09-05" link_dest="../2004-09-05" dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/$today" rsync -av -e ssh --delete --link-dest=$link_dest $src $dest in 2004-09-05 (on the dest-server) is the

Hello, I deleted a message by storing the \Deleted flag and called expunge. The message was deleted then, but in the file dovecot-uidlist the filename of that message is still listed, even after logging out and in again, doing select and check. When will this file be updated? Regards Marten

Hello, I experimented with dovecot the whole evening yesterday and the mailserver worked fine since there haven't been that much users connecting to it. I'm using dovecot 1.0.alpha5 as pop3 and pop3s server. The maildirs are mounted through NFS and since there is no nfslockd running I disabled mmap in the config and told dovecot to use dotlock. Also I experienced, that dovecot was

Hello, I'd really like to define the finale libexecdir and localstatedir through the configure-script. But the Makefiles are rewriting them. Not $libexecdir is used, but $pkglibexecdir. And $pkglibexecdir is always defined as $libexecdir/dovecot. But I don't want this trailing "/dovecot". Same with localstatedir. I want dovecot to use a certain path. But to this path, a
