Each time mail is deleted from mbox mailbox the whole mbox while needs to be rewritten to remove the mail. OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and

Hi, We are using mbox and UW IMAP, and are having issues because UW IMAP does not support multiple client access when you use NFS for the mail files. I've done some research (see the comments after my 2 questions below), and most of the other major IMAP servers simply don't support it (courier is about the only one that has a positive comment). How much testing have you done

Hi all, I'm doing some testing between U of Washington IMAP server (which we currently run) and Dovecot on a IBM AIX system. I created a 50M mailbox, made up of 262 msgs. I'm using a Perl Script with the imap::client module to fetch each message and then flag it for deletion. At the end of the test, I run an expunge to delete all the messages. UofW imap server ran fine, messages

There's a bug in "folder delete" for lazy expunge, type "1 namespace", as descibed on https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge When trying to delete a mailbox that still has messages in it, but that has no EXPUNGED/<name> counterpart, the process hangs after the imap "DELETE" command, and the following appears in the log file after a 60s timeout: Jun

Hello Few questions regarding Doveadm-Expunge. 1. I have lazy expunge configure with this name space: .EXPUNGED Storage type: mdbox doveadm -Dv expunge -u user at domain mailbox ".EXPUNGED/*" savedbefore 7d I get some interesting outputs. doveadm(user at domain): Debug: expunge: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon uid=791 doveadm(user at domain): Debug: expunge: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon

Hello, just to soothe my paranoia from many years of qpopper usage, which enforces solitary access to a POP mailbox. Only one login per user is possible at the same time and if a session terminates w/o qpopper being properly notified it will remain locked for some time, 30 minutes by default. With dovecot (0.99.10.4) one can login multiple times (using POP, with IMAP of course this comes as

Hi, This may be a problem with my config file but I am finding that customers (and more importantly my boss) that are using outlook express when using test66/67 (upgraded from test60 + from address patch) are having message reappear after being fully deleted (not just marked) but are unreadable, sometimes blank headers appear too but again no message. Since it is affecting my boss he has told me

Hello all! I've got a home server running on an ARM Cortex-A7 with my custom Linux distribution. It's also responsible for handling incoming and outgoing mails. The SMTP server is OpenSMTPD-6.0.3p1. I'm using Dovecot-2.3.2.1 to export the mails (mailbox storage format) using IMAP. My old server used to have Dovecot-1.2.0 and honestly, it was absolutely sufficient for me. However,

When messages marked \Recent are deleted and expunged, the patch now sends the new message count and the new recent messages count (although the message count is not really necessary). >From RFC 3501 errata (ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/rfc3501-errata) << Section 6.4.3, page 49: old: The EXPUNGE command permanently removes all messages that have the \Deleted flag set

Hi List! I read a post about moving a .mailbixlist to a .subscriptionfile when a user did not have one, but did have a .mailboxlist file. Timo emailed a module for that purpose, so it could be done for this user. My question is: - Where and how does dovecot call this function? - Would it be easy to use a module to a) create a mailpath (can be done as the mailuser's id, I use one uid, and my

Although Dovecot is already read-lockless and it uses only short- lived write locks, it's be really nice to just get rid of the locking completely. :) I just figured out that O_APPEND is pretty great. If the operating system updates seek position after writing to a file opened with O_APPEND, writes to Dovecot's transaction log file can be made lockless. I see that this works with

Hello, So i had this email in my inbox, i moved it to Folder1/tickets/ folder, then i decided to move the same email back to my inbox and when i went to the inbox it wasnt there nor in Folder1/tickets/ folder... I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails

Hi! I noticed that this command ... : for USERNAME in ${USERS};do /usr/local/bin/doveadm -Dv expunge -u "${USERNAME}" mailbox sa.* SAVEDBEFORE 1d done ... does not expunge mails if ran from crontab. It shows in the Debug output what would have been done, but it doesn't really expunge those mails. This command runs daily, and every day the list of expunged mails (in the Debug

Getting an error on POP only - "Authentication Server Isn't Connected" IMAP works fine. This used to work. not sure what changed.

There are three applications that have their mitts on files on my mail server, which is running AIXV5.3 and UWIMAP and mbox format. The mail folders and INBOXES are native to that machine, but also are NFS exported to a login server and a mailing list server. All three machines are running the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which

When I press DEL on a mail, the file /home/tselmeci/mail/Trash increases and the deleted mail is appended to it. But it doesn't disappear from /var/spool/mail/tselmeci. Once I expunge, /home/tselmeci/mail/Trash becomes empty but the original mail is still present in /var/spool/mail/tselmeci. Maybe the SMTP server holds a write lock on the spool file thus preventing Dovecot from erasing the
