similar to: Mixed IMAP/POP3 environment: further informations

Hello everybody, I just want to inform the Dovecot developers and users that I completely migrated the first mailbox (my own one) from Eudora/UW to SquirrelMail/Dovecot. I'm using it since a couple of days and after a bit of tuning (mostly SquirrelMail related) it works like a charm. I even performed some heavy operations, like moving thousands of messages between different mailboxes or

Hello All, I'm trying to migrate from UW Imap to Dovecot (latest 1.0 beta 2). The target is to go from the actual environment (Eudora + POP3) to a web based IMAP environment (IMAP + SquirrelMail). While migrating we will need to keep both environments for some time, with users having both the ability to use Eudora through POP3 while in the office and also the ability to check e-mail

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 am trying to run Samba 2.2.4 on solaris 2.8 with W2K clients. I have an NT app installed onto the Solaris 8 server which i would like to run off of the mapped samba network drive. When i try to start the NT app it attempts to read a file on the samba drive called .root.passwords but fails (This file can be accessed with notepad). The following is an extract from the samba error log. I get the

Hi, we have the following problem: we use a samba 2.03 server as PDC and logon server. Every user executes its logon.bat. With 'net use' we map some drives and that's all ok. but we would like to set the PATH Environment-Variable and this is our problem. If we would set it with 'SET PATH=...' only the PATH in this DOS-Box will be changed, but we need the global PATH changed.

I have used 3Com 3c509 nic width bnc coax. I have experienced that these cards used width FreeBSD and Samba is unusable due to speed. I tried to change the 3com card with a NE2000 compatible card, and there was a major change in speed. Has anyone else experienced such problem. Asgeir Stangeland

Hi Borthers/Sisters Thanks for all the developer(s) and for all the hard work spent on build this great piece of software! I loved Dovecot since it is really easy to set up and really fast but I am really new to it (only 2 weeks and half). Right now, our server configuration is: Server: Apple Xserve G5 dual RAM: 4GB Number of Users: ~ 150 IMAP only users Authentication: LDAP Mailboxes sizes:

I've used oplocks = no for a long time now, because of the famous "oplock_break" error, but I decided to give 2.0.7 a try. I still get "oplock break" errors as before, but this time I got a new error too: [2000/05/02 10:04:52, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file XXXXX/xxxxxx/mailbox.pst

Using the latest RPM (dovecot-0.99.10.5) on Fedora Core 2. I connected to the server by POP3 for a user who'd not yet received email (ever) so she didn't have a spool file in /var/spool/mail, and dovecot was failing on login. I just tested it by removing my own mailbox and see this in maillog: pop3-login: Login: ken [127.0.0.1] pop3(ken): stat() failed with mbox file

I installed samba on an Intel based Server running Red Hat 5.2. I can access files on the shares I created but I run into a problem accessing a database program written in MS Access. It seems that only one person at a time can open the database. I get an error of "File is already in use" . What are the optimal settings for accessing MS Access in a multi-user application? Thanks for

I am trying to get two WFW PC's talking to via Linux/Samba server Interface. One PC continuously streams binary datafile onto its directory on the server while the other continuously reads it. Information on the size of this file (which can continuously increase up to 3MB) is continuously updated and is stored using a fixed width pointer in the file header. It appears that the second PC

Hi We have an mailserver running RedHat Linux 9.0 with UW-IMAP (imap-2001a- 18.progeny.1.src.rpm), we have user mailboxes in /var/spool/mail/username using the default mbox storage method. Some users have home directories and some dont. They only connect through the POP3 server, not IMAP. We are now migrating both hardware and software to an new server running RHEL 4, i have copied all

Hi, Been reading a lot of posts about dovecot configuration, but can't really figure out if what I want is even possible or how to achieve this. My setup is simple : One linux machine that collects mail from my provider and sorts them for me and my wife, where my email is stored in Maildir format in ~myuser/.maildir and my wife's email is stored in mbox format in

Hi there: > ps: my little suggestion: if we add some parameters at smb.conf like > protected dir = /home/share, /home/user1 ; > trashcan dir = /smbtrash ; It seems that implementation of such parameter has some difficulties and eventuates reduction on performance (e.g. handling "protected dir"s and "trash dir" on the different devices like /dev/hda1

Greetings, I am trying to make my antispam protection on user basis. So I need something like .junkmail folder in every user maildir. But the problem I am having is that my mail client can not download mail put in .junkmail folder. I am usin POP3 only, Maildir mailboxes (default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%u) and whether I make folder with leadin dot or not it is never shown in mail client.

I have a small LAN in my basement, with my PC running RH5 Linux and a Win95 PC connected by Samba. Everything works fine, but when I smbmount a CD (burned with xcdroast) from the Linux box (CD is in the Win95 machine) I do not get the proper filenames. All files are uppercase, and the TRANS.TBL files appear to be ignored. I have tried playing with name mangling, but it didn't help. Is this a

hi, For some of our customers we provide a pop3 access, and after an upgrade to alpha3, it is not working anymore. All of our data is ldap based and everything is working as before for our IMAP customers, but our POP3 users fail. Obviously the pop3 login process does not read the data correctly that comes from ldap. after enabling mail_debug, I saw the following error in our log:

Dovecot is installed on the hosted FC1 server I have, it was working fine until yesterday when they had to bounce the server. I can login fine from Outlook or connect telnet <hostname> 110. But even though I can see sendmail has received mail into my %h/.maildir (via webmail's user mail facility) when I log into dovecot via Outlook it does not retrieve any of it. I tried from W2K
