Hi, I'm in the process of migrating from local Maildir, to IMAP-enabled Maildir (terms are made up by me). I have my Maildir directories all under $HOME/Mail I have a procmail script that sorts everything into different folders under $HOME/Mail, and leaves the rest in a Maildir folder chosen by me, that I think of as my INBOX. Now, I am assuming that the folder I identify as INBOX is the

OK. After checking the 0.99->1.0 migration documentation, it seems I've been a little confused between customflags and keywords. (Though this is partly due to my repeated requests for clarification being ignored.) The page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot) says 1.0 does not use .customflags any more. Now, I'm hoping they're still supported, in which case

Greetings, all Last night I migrated our mail between two machines... both running dovecot 0.99.xx. In the process, I wanted to make some small changes, namely that new mail be delivered to mboxs in /var/mail/%u and IMAP mail stored in Maildirs at ~/.imap ... I tried using: default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u But had no luck. Is it only 1.0 that can work with two

Heh heh heh. Whoops. I've spent a few hours digging around in the source and nearly posted a kludge of a patch I'd written to give a kind of half-baked attempt at getting group-usable subscriptions files. Then I came across something in the source........ In the config file, do something like the following: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location =

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of the mysterious fix to this problem that Curtis describes in his followup: "I vaguely remember something like this, but I don't recall the fix" I recently installed dovecot on a server running RHEL4-AS-U2 and have updated to RHEL latest dovecot package, dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1. Seeing as this is close to the version Curtis is running

http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/ Maildir syncing now works pretty much as described in my earlier mail. It was quite a large change, so please test this :) So the new and great features: - It's faster. - If someone renames maildir file just before we try to use it, we now resync the maildir and try to find it again. Before we just failed. It's also possible that the filename changed

Hi Perhaps I've been going too far OT in my previous thread or perhaps I just didn't explain my problem clear enough so forgive me for trying again. I have configured fetchmail to fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3-server. I have set up procmail to filter messages and deliver all non-filtered messages to the folder ".IN-catchall/" in "$HOME/Maildir" After sending

Has Timo backed off work, and been busy with something else, or has 1.0 really stabilised that much? Seems to me just a couple of weeks ago we were seeing a new test release every few days... now there's been nothing all month... I'm hoping it's ready for release... but if it's just that Timo's busy, well, I can understand that. We're about to receive some new

Hello, i just switched from courier-imap to dovecot on a machine. The transition was painless except for one issue - when using the "Check mail" feature of kmail, one gets the message: "Unable to get information about folder customflags. The server replied: internal error..." So it looks like the server isn't properly hiding the .customflags file for some reason. I

Greetings, I recently rolled out Dovecot in our small (<30 people) company, and have been mightily impressed by the quality, performance and ease of use. I was hoping to use the new versions soon, as I'd like to start using CRAM-MD5 (much more common in mail clients than DIGEST-MD5), but found the 0.99.11 versions too unstable. So, I tried to build last nights CVS snapshot (May

Greetings, I noticed a while back someone posted a patch/plugin that allowed Dovecot to use compressed mbox files. I'm now wondering how far that would put us from having compressed maildir? I have a server with more CPU than disk space, and while I can buy more HDD space, my backup solution doesn't make that practical. It seems to me that when looking for a message file, if it

So, I _finally_ got the time to upgrade from 0.99.14 ... which I told myself I'd upgrade from once 1.0 was released... (yep, I've been _that_ busy :) So I read the Wiki page on 0.99->1.0 transition, and went through the config file - for all of about 5 or 10 minutes. I logged in at 11pm when nobody else should be using it, restarted dovecot with the new version, and logged in.

Hope someone can help me with this as I am presently stuck I am setting up a new server with Dovecot 0.99.10, Redhat 9.0, Postfix, Amavisd-new and maildir's in the users home drive. I am using Netscape mail 7.1 as the main client to access the mail store via imap which works fine and various other imap clients can access the maildirs Ok as well. The problem is when Postfix delivers a

Hi I was trying to build test40 (and then test42, since it came out in the mean time) on my fresh Solaris 9 box at home, and ran into a few snags. First problem was during the build. Make spat the dummy in the auth directory: Making all in auth make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 701: Unexpected end of line seen Current working directory /home/pkg/dovecot-1.0-test42/src/auth So, I

This was ment for the list :) Sorry Stuart, for the double email...

Greetings, recently I've been writing a database driver module for Dovecot to use SQLite. It's mostly for my own use, but I do recall other people have asked for this. Firstly - Timo, I grow to love your work more and more every day. :) I have not had any trouble figuring out what is needed of the driver, even without any API documentation. However, the one part of the driver

Hello, I'm experiencing a reproducable crash in the imap daemon of dovecot 0.99.9.1 when running the next commands (sniffed from a sylpheed session): [cocaine:~] telnet ice 143 Trying 192.168.196.1...

Hi there, I'm currently running IMAP with Courier and POP3 with Solid-POP3d. I'd like to migrate IMAP and POP3 to both use Dovecot. All this works fine in testing, except for the fact that I have two types of users for legacy reasons. One type of user has a Maildir-style inbox at ~/Maildir/ The other type has a mbox-style inbox at ~/Mailbox Is it possible to make Dovecot look for

Greetings, all We've been running samba2 for far too long - I'd just never found the time to upgrade, and it wasn't a priority since it WORKED. Our little Solaris9/SPARC64 box happily served our few gigs of files to 20 users, and played the part of a PDC. Then I upgraded CUPS, and discovered samba2 doesn't like cups-1.2 libs, and figured it was as good an excuse to make the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just to give some more information about this: Apparently some of our POP3 users are saying that when they checked for new mail this morning that all the mail that was saved on the server was downloaded again as unread mail. I followed the guidelines in the wiki [1] with regards to upgrading from 0.99 to 1.0, made sure the .subscriptions and
