Hi! I received the following error (I ran ./configure and make without options) when running make install: Making all in auth make: don't know how to make db-ldap.h. Stop in /tmp/dovecot-1.0b2/dovecot-1.0.beta2/src/auth. *** Error code 1 Stop in /tmp/dovecot-1.0b2/dovecot-1.0.beta2/src (line 284 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /tmp/dovecot-1.0b2/dovecot-1.0.beta2 (line 340 of

Hello! I was looking for some information about which signals I can send to dovecot to do various things, but I couldn't find it. Since it's a wiki, is it ok to just edit the pages, or should I post here first? I thought I'd check with Timo and you guys first, maybe I missed that page that describes the signals... If it's ok, I can edit or add a new page. /Peter -- Peter

Hello! I am switching hardware platform for my dovecot 1.0beta3 installation. From Sun Sparc (SS4) to Intel i386. OS platform will only change from OpenBSD 3.7 to 3.9. From Dovecot 1.0beta3 to beta8. Is there anything special to consider, in terms of endianness or other incompatibilities? I plan on a fresh install (compile) on the new machine, migrate the settings manually (by hand), test

Hello! I have a simple (I think) problem. I have had IMAPS working fine for a long time. Now I want to start to use IMAP and STARTLS, since my mobile SonyEricsson P900 can't use IMAPS directly. But I can't connect even locally to the IMAP port (143), no-one listens there according to netstat (*.imaps is in LISTEN state). I have the following settings in my /etc/dovecot.conf:

Hi! Just updated to 1.0 rc15, but the problem remains. I think it could be client-dependent to some extent. I have only IMAPS access and Maildir. I have one mailbox which contains some 10,200 mails. That mailbox takes forever (have waited 30 minutes and then aborted) to open with Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. Other mailboxes (like dovecot :-), only 6984 mails) opens quickly. When Thunderbird tries to

Hi, I just migrated from dovecot 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7, from Sparc platform to Intel, it went very well. In the process I merged folders and excluded folders from being copied. User rights on folders were kept/set. I thought I'd share my migration script with you folks. If there's an interest to put it on the wiki I can do that, but I'm not sure in what page. Use it as a starter if you

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it. TIA, Peter -- Peter Lindgren

Hello! I am moving my mail from the old server with 1.0.rc29 to a brand new server with 1.1.7. I use Maildir in both servers. A few questions: 1) The new server has another name, can I just copy the mail files as-is, will the server name in the file names matter? 2) The new server has a different architecture and different endian, so I plan not to copy the index and cache files; they seem to

Hi! I try to build a new 1.1.7 installation. Since I'm not a large sysadmin, just my own private mail server admin, I just wonder why the sysconf and state dirs defaults to $prefix? Maybe I'm old-school, but isn't /etc and /var, respectively, a better default than /usr/local? Should require two new variables in the configure script, though. (and yes, I know I set them with

Hello! I have installed a new dovecot server on a new server, using imap and Maildir. The old Maildirs are accessible on a mounted disk. I have tried to copy a few folders manually, by first creating the folder on the new server through the a-mail client, and then copying the contents of the cur folder from the old to the new. Works fine, but is a manual process. I'm looking for a way to

Hi, probably just nothing to worry about, but I get the following warnings when building 1.1.7 on OpenBSD 4.4 on i386. If I remove the --with-bsdauth config option, they all disappear. I won't use it anyway, but maybe there are others. $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008 deraadt at i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R)

Hi, I'm using Dovecot v1.0.beta5 (NetBSD 3.0, i386) and Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 (XP, i386). My dovecot.conf is pretty simple, because I just use dovecot for me as the only user. However, when I try to move a 'larger' amount of mails (>200) from my local TB-mbox to the remote IMAPS-storage, the process hangs after about 150 - 160 transferred mails (the 'blocking' mail

Hi together, after joining Samba 4.1.6 into our domain with 2 MS Win2008 R2 DCs on last Friday, we had got 2 accidents: 1. one of our users couldn't access his Exchange account any more (the relation to the correct mailbox database was empty) 2. Exchange 2010 Outlook Web Access (OWA) fails today on Monday with following error message: [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-OwaVirtualDirectory

Hi, all, I just wanted to report that. I do not yet have a patch to suggest. nanobsd.sh cust_pkg() still tries to call pkg_add and fails when adding packages to the NANO_WORLD_DIR. tbz vs. txz ?

hallo, I have running dovecot 2.0.9. I want to deliver mail with rcipient prameter "-", we spoked about that at thread "LMTP with address extension" and after your patch and version 2.0.8 that works.

i have quite some problems getting 2 lans together with tinc, setup is : 2 linuxrouter connected to the inet. behind everyone is a subnet 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 with some normal windowsworkstations. these 2 subnets should be merged to one. we already connected the 2 linuxboxes with tinc and it worked smooth. but the subnets behind the routers werent pingable. so I thought we need ethernet

I just wrote two "new user documentation" pages to wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/CompilingSource http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/BasicInstall Do you think they are easy enough to understand? Did I miss something? Feel free to edit them directly :) Next should probably come: - Mailbox formats fully explained - Performance tuning -------------- next part -------------- A

Hello! I have recently gone through the hassle of trying to get a CentOS 5 server (no gui) with Samba to use ADS for security. After several days of googling and trying different howtos I finally got it working, I now want to write a howto for CentOS 5, Samba 3.0 and Windows Server 2003 SP2. Basically it's a combination of http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_ads_security_mode and
