similar to: Dovecot imap with Postfix and using Thunderbird as client

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

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'm using the standard Dovecot 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4, with a Maildir++ mailbox. I've noticed what I think is an oddity in the way dovecot handles messages: According to the Maildir specification, a message in Maildir/new is a truly new message, which has not yet been touched by any reader. From an IMAP viewpoint, such a message should have the flag RECENT. However, if a message exists

Hi all, I use dovecot 0.99.14-1 Can I change the default Dovecot IMAP Trash folder from .Draft to .Drafts? Dovecot make a .Draft folder and my e-mail clients (Thunderbird - Outlook Express) makes .Drafts folder. Thanks Marco

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

Hi all, I'm working on setting up dovecot on a test system. When I try to start dovecot I get this error: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 504: Expecting '=' Line 504 in my config is this: auth default { passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf

When I attempted to import my Contacts list into dovecot, my mail client told me that the IMAP server did not support "Special" folders. Is there a way to to do the contacts, or sync up Contacts & Calendar from a database or something else? I'm using both Thunderbird and Outlook. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

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

Hi all, I cannot get Thunderbird 0.8 to work with my dovecot IMAP server. It works fine with my work IMAP account - I'm not sure what they are using. What happens is that folders that I create in Thunderbird or Evolution can only contain subfolders or messages, not a combination of both. Folders which contain subfolders and not messages show up in Thunderbird grayed out. I can expand them

Dear All Server: dovecot-1.0.beta8 (compiled from source) centos 4.3 Client: thunderbird 1.0.8 on Fedora Core 4 on port 993 Using maildir Normally (with the current UW-IMAP) I can create a folder which may contain only messages or only folders. If I create a folder which will contain only folders, it is listed in thunderbird in light-grey italics. Subsequently I can create message folders

Can anyone give me an idea of whether or not dovecot-lda can solve the following issue: We seem to have constantly-corrupting dovecot* files for people who fit one (or more) of the following categories: 1) 1000+ message inboxes; 2) multiple clients simultaneously checking mail; 3) people receiving a lot of mail, and/or the server receiving and trying to deliver a single message to all users at

Dear reader, I am having problems getting new mail into my Inbox. I have this in my dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The logs show nothing special, catting /var/mail/%u shows the new mails coming in, as does /var/log/mail.info Any clues?

Hi list, on my Debian box there is a logrotation cron job that will gzip existing /var/log/mail.log file and create a new mail.log. It seems that after running logrotation dovecot stops logging successful POP or IMAP logins to /var/log/mail.log (nevertheless, it still works to login with POP or SMTP). This is bad because pop-before-smtp mechanisms also stop working. I have deactivated

I've probably done something dumb, but a quick search on Google, etc has turned up nothing I recognized as useful. I just installed dovecot on an OpenBSD 3.9 box. It is working fine with secure POP3 (after changing the config file to "mbox_write_locks = fcntl"). I also selected secure IMAP as a protocol, but it is proving to be more resistant to working. I am trying to connect

I have several POP mail accounts. I have installed and partially configured Dovecot 1.0.0 on Debian sid. I am having trouble understanding some of the basics. For starters do I need to fetch my POP mail (fetchmail, etc.) myself? TIA, Paul Scott

I have a question about migration from courier-imap. I have a server running courier-imap which I'd like to change to dovecot. The problem at hand is that there are POP3 users as well as IMAP4 users.Some of the POP3 users have the option to "leave a copy of the message on the server" set in their MuAs. Is it possible to migrate from courier-imap --> Dovecot and not have these

Hi Folks OK - I'm ready to upgrade my version .99.11 to the latest release candidate but I haven't a clue how to do that on a live mail server without potential disruption. Can anyone help with advice on the best way to do this? CentOS latest release Running Sendmail/Procmail/Dovecot Thanks Chris

Hi, it's not yet a bug report, just a question: After I was successfully using dovecot-imap and Thunderbird for quite a while without any problem (debian unstable), I now sometimes experience that the IMAP-connection hangs and thunderbird waits forever when accessing a folder. I did not yet analyze the problem and I am not sure whether it is a thunderbird or a dovecot problem. Did anyone

Hi there, anyone interested in Debian Dovecot 1.0.1 packages? I have created a package for etch/stable... Could do that for sarge/oldstable as well. Greets, Maurice.
