Nevermind. I figured it out. I left off the INDEX command.

Thanks. I use dovecot's lda and dovecot's sieve filter. So it looks like I need to compare the index/mailbox mtimes as you suggest. What am I looking for? I see that the indexes are updated when I run the resync. I checked my mailbox (that was not resynced) and noticed that dovecot.index last update was 16 days ago. So am I resyncing if the gap is over x days? If so, is there a way to

Hmm, this is peculiar! This mailbox has been unchanged on my test server since September. I've been using it to test each new version of Dovecot just after I've compiled it. When beta1 was released, I opened this mbox with no problems. However, when I upgraded to beta2, I got "file size unexpectedly shrinked in mbox file /export/mail/a/24/vis99003/INBOX (16895967 vs 16899267)".

Hello everyone, I've narrowed down my problem, so this should be an easy one for some smart person out there. I am moving from an old sendmail/Fedora 2 box to a new sendmail/Fedora 4 box and want to try Dovecot for pop3. The problem is, I can't get it to work. I have 9000 email accounts I will be moving to the new box. I've already tried and failed once. The problem is, Dovecot

Oops! Thought I'd CC'd this to the list. Sorry, Oliver!

It seems that Dovecot gets confused when presented with a header like: From: someone at somewhere.org i.e. with leading whitespace and no "friendly name" This shows up as ""@MISSING_DOMAIN in clients, such as Pine, that believe what Dovecot tells them rather than parsing the headers themselves (e.g. Thunderbird).

Timo, I've noticed a couple of extra compilation errors in last night's snapshot compared to the snapshot I downloaded on Tuesday, probably due to the int -> bool change :- (gcc 3.3.2 on Solaris 8) mbox-sync.c: In function `mbox_sync': mbox-sync.c:1568: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type index-search.c: In function `search_index_arg':

I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In

Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root at sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in.

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other at somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> is

I've tried turning on mbox_very_dirty_syncs for myself (and a few other brave souls running 1.0-alpha3 rather than 1.0-stable) again to see what perfomance gain it gives (see thread http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-July/007956.html). Now we aren't running UW-IMAP at all, how safe is mbox_very_dirty_syncs assuming the only other process writing to mailboxes is our MTA (exim) which

Has anybody managed to have Dovecot authenticate to Microsoft Active Directory? I've tried to get it to work using LDAP and the following settings dovecot.conf: userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf passdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = rdg-home.ad.rdg.ac.uk dn = cn=bind-user,cn=users,dc=rdg-home,dc=ad,dc=rdg,dc=ac,dc=uk dnpass = XXXXX ldap_version = 2 base =

I think I've found a minor bug in the LSUB command: . LSUB "" "*" gives ... * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "#maildir" ^^^^ * LSUB () "/" "#maildir/test4" where I have a namespace with prefix "#maildir/". Here's a patch to make it not list the namespace prefix in an LSUB command (or should it list it as 'LSUB

Hi Timo, Just a quick question: do index files still need removing when upgrading from 1.0-stable (as in the testXX series) or will Dovecot regenerate them automatically? I'm expecting to go with 1.0-stable on Tuesday for my 20,000 users (as that's what I've been testing), but if we see lots of index issues, I may want to upgrade to alpha1 (or later) fairly soon afterwards and it

Hi, I was wondering whether anybody has managed to get Dovecot 1.0 to store INBOX as Maildir and folders as mbox. I've tried something like default_mail_env = mbox:/folders/user/mail:INBOX=maildir:/inboxes/maildir/user:INDEX=/indexes/user but it doesn't seem to work (treats INBOX as mbox). I'm hoping to move some INBOXes from mbox on local disk to Maildir on nicely-mirrored NetApp

I think I've found a bug in Dovecot 1.0 rc1 where if you have namespaces without the "location = " setting defined, it fails to use default_mail_env as it should. This seems to have been broken by :- 2006-06-16 18:13 Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> * src/master/: auth-process.c, login-process.c, mail-process.c, main.c, master-settings.c: Settings parser nowadays returns

I've had some trouble compiling GSSAPI on SuSE Enterprise 9 using Heimdal. It turns out that this installation has /usr/include/heimdal/gssapi.h rather than gssapi/gssapi.h. krb5-config correctly sets -I/usr/include/heimdal in the CFLAGS. Looking back, there was a similar issue a few months ago:- http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-July/014945.html I'm a complete newbie to

Hi all, Sorry for the longish post! I've been looking at using rsync to mirror our mailstore (BSD/mbox format, i.e. flat files consisting of concatenated plaintext messages) to a NetApp Nearstore (basically a filer with SATA rather than FC disk) mounted over NFS. I want to do this in such a way that the NetApp automatic snapshots are kept as small as possible, so hopefully several versions

I've had a go at back-porting Timo's recent fixes to the IMAP fetch command from 1.0-test66 to 1.0-stable. This seems to fix the problem with kmail, and Thunderbird seems to work fine without its RFC822.SIZE fix. It's a bit big for the body of this message, so it's attached. The bit I'm most concerned about in my port is whether I got the buffer_insert call right
