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

I'm confused about the status of auth agent forwarding while using v2 protocols. I found an old newsgroup post that said it was not available but an entry in the ChangeLog entry dated 20001113 seems to indicate that it was added. So. Does agent forwarding work while using v2 protocols? I've been unable to get it to work since I switched to using v2. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Beuchler

I'm looking for a way to figure out which accounts have not been logged in to in over n days. It occurs to me that, perhaps, the way to do this would be to look at the mtime on one of the dovecot-maintained files, like 'dovecot-uidlist'. Is there a particular file that would be modified on (almost) every login, whether it be via POP or IMAP? -Ben -- Ben Beuchler

I have two servers pointing to an NFS mounted mail spool with dovecot.? Since I recently switched from using Dovecot v1.X, I have been experiencing high CPU use with the two Dovecot servers. I am not certain why they are not well behaved.? Here is the configuration information. This configuration is currently running at a load average of 17. /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.15:

I have, but I will be happy to review it once again. On 12/18/18 2:14 PM, admin wrote: > Am Dienstag, den 18.12.2018, 14:06 -0500 schrieb Albert E.

There seems to be a protocol mismatch between eudora and dovecot when using pop. The login interchange with, for example, mozilla, is as follows: MO: [connects] DC: +OK dovecot ready. MO: CAPA DC: +OK DC: CAPA DC: TOP DC: USER DC: UIDL DC: RESP-CODES DC: STLS DC: SASL PLAIN DC: . MO: USER yyy DC: +OK MO: PASS xxxxxxxx DC: +OK Logged in. But with eudora, with apparently equivalent

I''m working on a definition for activating/deactivating Apache modules on an Ubuntu system. Inside my Apache class I have this definition: define module($ensure) { case $ensure { enabled: { exec { "a2enmod": command => "/usr/sbin/a2enmod $name", logoutput => on_failure,

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

OK. I've had a few replies to my earlier question about auth agent forwarding that indicate that it is currently supported. So now I'm confused as to why it is not working for me. I'm trying to chain between servers. With v1 I could load my key into the ssh-agent on my workstation (a) and ssh to server b and ssh from there to server c, all without typing a passphrase/password. Now

I have a dovecot installing working quite well for around 1000 users using passwd-file authentication. I'm moving to LDAP and would sure love to be able to migrate the existing MD5 passwords. I've tried using ldapmodify to set "userPassword" to {CRYPT}$1$H8JE0k5X$y.ptShgYbOgWF.99lX88N1 and {MD5}$1$H8JE0k5X$y.ptShgYbOgWF.99lX88N1 In both cases, ldapmodify exits without errors

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

Hello, Dovecot log is showing too many POP3 RETR entries which are identical lines. I also suspect that it is causing high pop traffic eating most of the network bandwidth. Here are some of the lines out of 11009 in a day. Such pattern is observed only for few users. dovecot version is 2.1.17. ============== Mar 20 00:00:07 pi3 dovecot: pop3(user at example.com): Disconnected: Logged out

Hi folks! It looks like Timo nailed down the NFS issues we've been seeing here in last night's CVS build. Anyone running Dovecot in a high-usage environment should check this out. Here are some relevant ChangeLog updates that seem to address the problem: 2006-05-02 11:11 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen at movial.fi> * src/lib-storage/index/maildir/: maildir-save.c,

I have recently installed new untangle firewalls ( untangle.com) in Bridge mode at two office locations. Both offices collect mail from a Fedora 9, postfix,dovecot server at location #1. Since the install of the untangles i have been plagued by Thunderbird Errors while trying to POP email. The error says "RETR" command failed. If the user logs into the webmail (Squirrelmail) on the

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

I have Dovecot 2.1.17 on Centos, all working well since yesterday one user complaining he can not retrieve emails, TBird mail client says like '1 of 9' and, doesn't go any further. that's on several of his PCs using TBird, on a LAN behind f/wall, quite physically remote to server, server in Sydney, remote client is SEAsia looking at logs I see emails access, looking at server

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

In attempting to reactivate my IMAP communications with my Email Spool (NFS Mounted), I have gotten the following while attempting to download the Emails via POP3.

Good Day All! I am attempting to configure deliver as our LDA. I am also configuring the server to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. I have followed the all the documentation and examples I could find. Below are my Dovecot and Postfix configs. Can someone please smack me upside the head and tell me why I am getting "user unknown" errors? If i don't use deliver as the LDA, all

Hello everyone, in february I posted the mail below[1]. I can now reproduce the problem. When filling up a mailbox with postfix' smtp-source with dozens of identical mails, then it is never possible for me to fetch one single mail out of the mailbox. The process of fetching mail via POP3 always fails. It makes no difference which mail client I use. I have tested KMail, Outlook and
