Hello, I migrated qmail-pop3d and BincIMAP to Dovecot in the past, and I could always tweak the settings a little to match what old services used to provide, namely namespaces (separator /, prefix INBOX/) and pop3_uidl_format (%f). This time I'm migrating to a large mail system which has its configuration set differently and there's no changing it. pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

hi, what do you tyhink about it? especially the faq comment about dovecot? http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/ -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Hello all I am using Freebsd 4.10stable, postfix 2.1.5 with SASL and TLS, procmail version 3.22 and binc IMAP 1.2.8 binc uses IMAPdir style mail boxes, Spam assassin, and ClamAV. Wish to convert to dovecot but your program does not support IMAPdir does it??? also i have many user accounts that i wish to use untouched if possible. I guess this is a migration question for the most part i am

Hourly I have an rsync job backup /home to /home/backup. I have 24 directories (one for each hour): home.0 ... home.23 Here is the script I am running via cron: #! /usr/local/bin/bash dest=`date +%k | sed 's/ //g'` linkdir=`date -v-1H +%k | sed 's/ //g'` chflags -R noschg /home/backup rm -rf /home/backup/home.$dest rsync -ahHP --numeric-ids --delete --stats --link-dest=../

I am using dovecot and trying to make it compatible with my a BincIMAP installation. BincIMAP uses a scheme similar to Courier-IMAP, so I set up this default_mail_env: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir And this namespace: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Which mostly works as expected, but I now see an "INBOX" subfolder of "INBOX" in

Hi there, After being extremely impressed from implementing it in some customer installations, I've decided to migrate our mail infrastructure to dovecot. Being able to have /bin/checkpassword support across the board for pop, imap, and smtp authentication, as well as being able to ditch stunnel for the SSL layer...where were you in 2001?!? :) I have two concerns, the first is about the

hi all 2 Questions : - how not using the authentication bind feature of ldap server ? i rewrite checkpassword-ldap recently to use in bincimap server, and it take 3 lines to do this, so i don't understand how you don't use it. it is more powerful and more secure than retrieve pasword from the base and use crypto api to compare it. - is the dovecot server support the IMAPdir feature like

Hello! I've tried to set up dovecot in conjuction with vpopmail, and running it under djb's tcpserver instead of (x)inetd. Btw - there was no reference to setting dovecot up using (x)inetd either in the manuals/faqs i read, though I didn't search all that hard. Anyway, back to my Q: vpopmail uses vchkpw as an authentication mechanism, and with tcpserver I can do relaycontrol (based

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default

Hi list, hi Johannes, I'm trying to use the dovecot-dspam plugin ( http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-dspam-integration ) with vpopmail's virtual users. All seems well, except for the fact that dspam should be called with '--user currentuser at currentdomain.com' at line 157 here: http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-dspam-integration/beta7-code For my

I have a really weird problem. To whit: I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both. The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . . And the

(this is a resend, sorry if duplicate but my first post didn't get through). I was wondering what plans dovecot has for text and body search? This is one of those issues that *no* imap implementation ever seems to document :(. Not cyrus, courier, bincimap, or dovecot.... i speed-read some of the sources and found src/lib-mail/message-body-search.c After a quick scan, it seems: - it uses no

Hi, does anyone have at working Perl example of how to use the auth protocol with Perl (I'm planing on making a dovecot auth plugin for qpsmtpd but it would a lot easier to reuse somebody elses code :)) tia, -- Allan Joergensen - http://nowhere.dk/ "All right, so it's impossible.

Hello! I?m in the process of migrating from BincIMAP to Dovecot, and I have a minor question. One of the things that Binc does is logs how many bytes of data it has sent as part of logging the log-out. Is there a way to get Dovecot to do that, or to calculate something similar? ~Kyle -- Racism is man's greatest threat to man---the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.

I want to switch away from bincimap, and I am having some trouble getting dovecot up and running. Something isn't working (I suspect it's a permissions problem) but the logs aren't really telling me anything interesting. I can authenticate and get a list of folders, but when I try to select a folder, I get the "Internal error" message that tells me to check the server

Hi all, I'm working to convert from a bincIMAP setup to a Dovecot setup. I've tried messing around with namespaces to make the conversion transparent, but I'm getting nowhere. Are namespaces necessary? Or can I proceed by recursively renaming the folders on the server? A transparent solution would be wonderful, but I can't get it to work for me.. Any help would be

Hello everybody (esp. Timo ;)), in an attempt to replace our cyrus imapd with something less bloated I have recently evaluated some of the younger imapd implementations, namely bincimap and also dovecot. Bincimap didn't work properly with mozilla for me, dovecot hasn't failed on any test, yet. Unfornationally, since we have been using cyrus for over 1.5 yrs, we pretty much depend on the
