Environment: Dovecot 1.0beta8 Host: 64 bit Red Hat AS4 Linux (2.6.9-34.0.1) Disks: NFS netapp In the case below, the two connections were going through two separate servers sharing disks via an NFS NetApp. Here is the sequence of operations: 1. Open a connection to a folder (say mail/Trash) 2. Open a connection to another folder (say Inbox) 3. Move messages from Inbox to Trash using this

Hi, I think I already know the answer to this and I agree with it, but I have a question about "invalid" mailbox naming decisions in dovecot. Technically, RFC3501 (Section 5.1, pg. 18, client consideration 3) says that * and % are legal in mailbox names, though it implicitly discourages their use. We just migrated to dovecot, and unfortunately have a few users who used * in their

Hi, I am getting intermittent error messages in the log when my mail client tries to create/open a folder named ".imhoprefs". Some accounts seem to able to do it, but I have at least one that gives the log error: Feb 7 09:29:54 acad-cl1 dovecot: imap(tkay): close() failed with index file (in-memory index): Bad file descriptor I traced through the code, and it seems to be coming from

Hi, I am using Dovecot 1.0 beta 7, moving to beta8 probably tomorrow. I am seeing a few RFC compliance issues with IMAP responses. I have an in-house IMAP client that caches IMAP data for a web mail system (it parses millions of IMAP interactions a day), and it reports whenever it gets a line that does not look RFC compliant. Unfortunately, users modify their mailboxes before I can get a copy

Hi, We are using Dovecot with maildir, and the mail client requests flags, internaldate, and uid for all messages on folder open, which on average takes 3 seconds, but for large folders is much longer. It seems like I want mail_cache_fields to include "flags", but which date corresponds to internaldate? date.received? Is UID always cached for messages, or does it have to read through

There was a patch posted to fix dotfile folder names in this mail: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-July/008127.html I have a web mail client (which stores preferences in a dot-file/folder through IMAP) and pine users (address book is a dot-folder in IMAP) that this affects. I can certainly hand-apply the patch, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable if this had some future in the real

How does Dovecot handle accounts when writes are denied, such as in situations when a user is over quota, or the filesystem is full? -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Only a statue can be perfect, and even then it casts a shadow. - Merle Fossum

If a mail folder contains quotes, the IMAP server may respond with a line like: 1 list "" "a/b/"X" Y Z" The specific example I saw had this exact form (it was in a nested folder, and one of the words was quoted). -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Physics is like sex: sure,

Hi, Mac mail (a horribly mis-behaved client, it seems), has a horribly hard time deleting/copying large blocks of messages from one folder to another. The basic symptom is: 1. Select a bunch of messages 2. Click on delete 3. Wait for a _very_ long time. It also seems very slow on copying, so it may be the "trash folder copy on delete" that is really slowing it down. Anybody else seen

In the midst of evaluating Dovecot for use in solving some mbox locking issues (while also waiting for our eventual migration to maildir), I had an epiphany. It looks like Dovecot's auto-detection of mail formats would allow us to migrate from mbox to maildir on a user-by-user basis! I was thinking: 1. Let dovecot autodetect mail storage 2. Use some procmail trickery to detect which format

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

There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong somewhere. EITHER a WHOLE bunch of us are stupider than we thought, the documentation left off a step, or there is something SO blatently obvious that we are ALL staring it in the face and missing it inches in front of our faces. This is exactly what I've had, (BUT I *D*I*D* have it running ok ...) and I STILL havent figured it out yet,... Subject:

Kristyan (and all) I just searched the samba website, and I couldnt find any reference to spnego except for a slide show (samba-lwny.ag ) that I can't open. ANYWAY. since I can't find any reference to the spnego parameter, could someone explain what it is, what it does, and HOW it can help us "stupid" people? It doesnt seem to be a parameter I've come across before..

I use the above kernel, can i get a ext3 patch for this kernel,Or will ext3 work with this kernel. Cheers redhead

Hi, I've compiled the SAMBA 3.0 alpha18 with all default options and installed well. Then I would join my NT 4.0 machine using the following steps (manual, not On the fly): # useradd -g groupid -d /dev/null -c "comment" -s /bin/false -m machine_name$ # passwd -l machine_name$ # smbpasswd -a -m machine_name$ after that I tried to join my NT4.0 to the Samba PDC, but it failed

In src/master/master-settings.c, there is a config variable "imap_capability" that is read in from the conf file... but in the rest of the code it looks like that variable is never used. I assume this is there for future use, but just wanted to confirm that the code not using it was intentional. Since we are using Dovecot as an IMAP proxy for a Courier backend (for now), we need to

All, Thanks for all of your help & advice! I created a plot starting with qqnorm, if I remember right, but I had to add a LOT of extras. I was surprised that it doesn't include the probability (e.g. 50% at mean) and instead provides the standard deviations (e.g., 0 at mean) on the axis. Plus, there is no line through Q1 & Q3 to help give a sense of the normality of the graph.

Hey guys, I've got dovecot configured to work perfectly for virtual users across different domains. It's great. My problem is that, as far as I can tell, dovecot makes me use one SSL certificate across all my domains. That's not what I want. Is there a way I can get dovecot to use the cert for mail.foo.com when somebody is logging into a foo.com account, and the cert for
