similar to: imaps only, and on a nonstandard port?

Does anyone have advice or pointers on good documentation on how to convert a system from using the Mbox format to using Maildir? I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 2 from Fedora Core 1 and discovered that UW-IMAP was gone. So I switched over to using Dovecot. So far so good. But I would like to convert my system to start using the Maildir format. How easy is this to accomplish? Can I keep

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9? Maybe it's been fixed in a later release? Might it be a security issue?

It'd be pretty cool if rsync supported use of O_DIRECT on platforms that support it, with or without my odirect package: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/odirect/ I say this because rsync is sometimes used to move a mountain of data, just once. So there's little point in rsync toasting one's buffer cache. I gather there's something like O_DIRECT on windows too, but it's

Is it possible to mix maildir and mbox formats with dovecot? For example, I would like ~/mail to be in maildir format yet keep the inbox (/var/mail/%u) in mbox format. If so, how may I go about this? Or am I stuck not being able to create subdirectories in ~/mail? Cheers, Shane

I configured dovecot on a Fedora Core 2 system - the version that comes with FC2. I was using it with a RHEL 3 NFS server. Dovecot would again and again get stuck trying to grab an fcntl lock, even though I specified that it should only use dotlocks in dovecot.conf. Sometimes it would segfault (leaving things locked?). Often there would be two dovecot imapd processes for the same user.

Is there any way of increasing rsync's block transfer size for when you need to transfer data from one filesystem to another on the same disk? Using a large blocksize tends to decrease track to track seeks. If I put a large dd or something in between two tar's in such a situation, I see over double the throughput on an AIX system (1M vs 64K). Thanks. -- Dan Stromberg DCS/NACS/UCI

We've been using this version of rsync: rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 Copyright (C) 1996-2004 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums ...with these options: /usr/local/bin/rsync -a --stats --progress --block-size

Hi, there is an issue left in 0.99.10.5 which (I think) is a problem with imap status flags. It shows up in two places: (1) When new mail is delivered to the inbox, the last read mail changes to "unread". (2) When you move mails from the inbox to another folder with Mozilla (1.6 on win32, Linux, NetBSD), they are not removed from the inbox, effectively performing a copy instead of a

I've tried to write the new mbox code in a way that it could be moved into generic flat-file library with mbox-specific code being implemented on top of that. The code would be useful for all formats that require modifying message headers to store the metadata. How many such are there? I suppose all such formats could be implemented by separating mails into 3 logical parts: - header

I'd like to use rsync on a production box that has a great deal of memory-cached filesystem in use at all times. Is there any way, or any other tool, that will do a "slow" copy? purposefully not busting the cache by copying things as fast as possible? "nice" does not work, of course, as that is a cpu scheduling control. What I want is basically lowest-priority or

I'm trying to switch to using rsync for updating a huge software library containing binaries, text files, symlinks, and so on. We've been using something homegrown which I'm not that happy with - it's a perl script that systems cp and chmod and such. The problem I'm seeing is: target computer: directories ctime-5 and ctime-5b3 are distinct directories source computer:

Hi everyone: when I try to run dovecot after modifying the dovecot.conf file I have the following error messages: Mar 23 09:56:52 mailer dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.info] Dovecot v1.2.10 starting up Mar 23 09:56:52 mailer dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.info] Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time.

Hi there, I'm using the latest Thunderbird & Dovecot. I'm trying to setup either pop3s or imaps. The plain versions of the protocols both work fine for me, even with the TLS option selected in Thunderbird. But when I try to use the ssl versions, my client does not negotiate - it just time's out. I have as much logging enabled as possible and the only thing that shows up

Hello, I'm try to use the convert plugin, but I cannot seem to get it working properly. Is there any setting that I'm missing. -------- dovecot -n # 1.0.10: dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(imap): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex at scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu

Hello, I'm trying to configure the dovecot-antispam plugin. Now I've run into a problem: whenever I try to move/copy a message in/from the spam mailbox, Thunderbird (and also Sylpheed, haven't tried anything else) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Failed to read mail beginning. and in the logs I get: dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error:

Hello , Went to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, hunted down "ssl_listen =" which I had set it up to "ssl_listen = required" and commented it out. Tried "service dovecot start" and it started. The USD2,000,000 question being : what does this do (I know , I know, I cannot remember, I documented all this for v1.2.14) and will I need it in the future ? THank you people,

We are running Postfix 2.3.3 and Dovecot 1.0-RC27 on a Solaris 10 server. We use the Dovecot LDA for local delivery. Problems arise with looping mail whenever a user's .forward contains a reference to themselves. This most frequently occurs when a user sets up a vacation since it then puts this in their .forward file: \username, "|/usr/bin/vacation username" The vacation program

I've been testing my user community's IMAP clients when I try to login and then transfer a big message from the inbox into a folder in an overquota folder directory. I am using native filesystem quotaing in AIXV5.3 with UWIMAP and comparing my results with what I see with Dovecot 1.0.0. (My Dovecot built without any plugins or quota extensions) Everything matches/works except for Mac
