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

Hi, I have some problems with my connection from outside to POP3/IMAP... As far as I can see every should be set corret. Currently I use version 0.99.11-1.FC3.4 installed from an RPM-file. I tried to debug the signin process. It's always saying bad password... What encryption can DoveCot read? Currently my password is encrypted with md5crypt... Regards Anders

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

Hi, I would like to try implementing user specific default_mail_env's as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation using the LDAP attribute 'mailLocation'. However, I have been unable to find any LDAP schema which contains mailLocation. What schema is this attribute part of? Thanks, Jason Pepas

Hi, I am running Dovecot (dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 on centos 4) and we are switching from newer machines. I copied all usernames from /etc/passwd,/etc/group and /etc/shadow to the new machine. I do not want that every user has it's own /home/$user directory.. When I test my dovecot installation with a telnet 'servername' 110 user test pass test I get this error:

Hi all, About a week ago I was forced to migrate my main (production) email server from RH9 to Centos4.1. The installation has dovecot-0.99.11 + postfix-2.1.5 and >600 mbox accessed email accounts. Number 1. Some users accessing thru squirremail (installed in my webserver) can read their INBOX at /var/spool/mail directory but when trying to delete a message they receive the following error

I am currently running Dovecot on DoD production email server (Postfix) and the latest version the software available from Redhat is dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4. According to you guys, this is ancient and I was wondering what is the safest and easiest way to get my version updated without breaking it... Thanks for any help and or points in the right direction... [root at mail ~]# dovecot -n Usage:

I realize that there have been some big changes in features and configuration file settings between 0.99.xx and 1.0-stable, so when I went to perform an upgrade on our testing server, I carefully combed through the configuration files and matched up everything I could. I fired up dovecot-1.0-stable and was pleased to see that it was happily running. I attempted to connect to it, and

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.

I just transferred over my first server from Suse Linux with uw-imap(ipop3/imap2003) to CentOS with Dovecot (0.99). I didn't find any problems in the testing phase, but when the actual transfer into production happened I found a few problems crop up: 1. Dovecot wants to chdir in the user's home directory even when logging in via POP3. However, the mailboxes for POP3 are all in

Hi I am having problems with users accessing their maildir mail stores through dovecot I am working on version 0.99.11-1 (on fedora core) It seems to be when the email size is large (450KB +) The errors are (the server disconnected unexpectedly) Have turned on the three Outlook and Outlook Express workarounds I found but no luck. Have read through logs and looked for clues but am just

I have installed dovecot version 0.99.11 on my Slackware 10.1 system recently and it basically works as expected. However I can't get it to 'see' existing mbox hierarchies. I have the following in dovecot.conf:- default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u (I also originally tried with %h/Mail) IMAP MUAs can see the INBOX OK but I can't get them to see any of

I use dovecot-0.99.11 from RHEL4. dovecot-mysql.conf: === db_host = dbhost db_port = 3306 db = db db_user = dovecot db_passwd = pass default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = '%u' user_query = select maildir AS home,u_id AS uid,g_id AS gid from users WHERE username = '%u' === When I try "telnet localhost 110" and enter

Since FreeBSD has decided to drop Dovecot 0.99 and only provide a port for 1.0alpha4, what are the considerations for upgrading from 0.99.14 to 1.0a4?

I have never used -> but I noticed at http://github.com/jiho/r-utils/blob/master/beamer_colors.R that some people do. In fact, the above-named code has a sort of elegance about it (except for the use of "=" for assignment...). To my eye, -> calls to mind a type of assignment that is meant to stand out. For example, perhaps it would make sense to use -> to assign

Hi Dovecot readers, My server (squirrelmail) provides me with the following error-message when selecting a mailbox (trash): ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "Trash" Reason Given: Out of disk space The user is not over quota but for some reason dovecot still thinks this to be true. Can anyone give me a hint for finding a solution for this problem. I have installed:

Hi, Just wonder if it's possible to run two dovecot servers on two different machines, but serve out of the same directories. I would like to test second dovecot server before switching from first one to second one. Any suggestions? Simon

Hi, I am having some trouble with dovecot (0.99.14) and maildir. Some users are reporting that sometimes, they don't get (pop3, various clients) new mails for a while even though they should. I checked and confirmed this: mails were delivered by MTA (sendmail, procmail). But when the problem existed, the new mails were in cur/, not new/ and dovecot would not report any new messaged to the

Hi. I'm not having any luck installing the binary for the new Macintosh OS called "Tiger". I get error messages as below. Can anyone offer me some advice?
