In the process of migrating to Dovecot 1.0beta3, any tips or step-by-step instructions that might relate to Solaris 9. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf leboeuf at emt.inrs.ca

Migrating from UW IMAP/Qpopper mbox to Dovecot mbox. I have ~500 users, some with HUGE mbox (500MB-1GB), is there a script to create the Dovecot indexes at night to help speed up the migration process. Any idea. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf leboeuf at emt.inrs.ca

Hi, we're trying to migrate from UW imap 2001a-10, which doesn't seem to use the UIDL format documented in the wiki. It seems to use a 16 character long MD5 hash of something. I've tried configuring Dovecot to do the same but the value comes out differently. The main thing that I can see is getting in the way is that the UIDL format is not documented sufficiently. There is no

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from maildir to mdbox while preserving the pop3 UIDL (and the imap UID). The problem is, for maildir we use (for compatiblity with qpopper): pop3_uidl_format = %f Problem is, as soon as I convert that to mdbox, then whenever a client issues the UIDL command via a POP connection, the connection is closed and this error is displayed in the log: Error: UIDL: File

Hello, I am in the process of migrating a hosting setup from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. The protocols available to mail clients are IMAP and POP3 both before and after migration. I also wanted to change the mail storage format from MBOX to Maildir. However, at this point I hit a major snag with Dovecot and POP3 UIDL (unique identification listing for POP3 mailboxes). Several of the customers connecting

Hi all, attached is a patch against 0.99.10.4 that fixes the STAT, LIST and UIDL POP3 command output in the case that they're issued after one or more messages have been deleted. Examples of incorrect behavior (bad spots marked with '***') C: STAT S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST S: +OK 2 messages: S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 1 1076749908.12

Hi, We're upgrading a cluster of servers from v1.0.15 to v1.1.x or v1.2.x. It appears that the UIDL generation mechanism has changed, and thus we'll be getting POP3 dups with users that leave mail on server (which is a nasty practice, I know). From checking the sources, and performing a number of controlled tests in various scenarios, here is the outcome: upgrade from 1.0.15 to

Greetings, is anybody aware of an extension to POP3 that supports UIDL ranges? It would be very useful for keep-messages-on-server setups (yes, I know, IMAP4 domain) to be able to do UIDL 21-42 to obtain just these 22 UIDs (this would always have to be a multi-line reply, just like UIDL without argument). If such a thing does not exist yet, perhaps a keyword such as "[X]UIDLRANGES" in

Hi ! POP3-RFC (1939) speaks about UIDL command: The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which persists across sessions. When I issue an UIDL command (dovecot 0.99.10.9) I get replies like 1 1093990148.1 2 1093990148.2 3 1093990148.3 ... . You see

I have been setting up a new mail server and copied our client's old mail to it. The old server has Courier (under Plesk), we're using Dovecot on the new server. Most accounts seem to work fine (under IMAP or POP3), but for a few we're getting the following in the /var/log/mail.err. Error: Message ordering changed unexpectedly (msg #1: storage seq 140 -> 1) Fatal: Can't

I just installed dovecot 1.0alpha4 on a very busy RHEL4 server with about 1300 users. So far so good, except for the dreaded duplicate emails in outlook for users who use POP3 and have "leave message on server" selected. After searching the archives I found that this is usually related to the UIDL format. The example in the .conf file is this: / # If you want UIDL compatibility

I migrated from UW IMAP, copied ~/.mailboxlist to ~/mail/.subscritions When I access SquirrelMail, is sees the folders on the left side. If I modifiy my folder subscription, they dissappear all but INBOX, and the .subscriptions file gets deleted. What am I missing. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf

I have installed rc22 and tried it with my mbox-based mail - fine. Then I converted that mbox to Maildir to see if new feature (saving state without QUIT) works - first run - I get time out. Second run - I get rest of the Maildir scanned and get into mailbox. Fine. but.... # telnet enders2 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'.

Hi, I just migrated a server running qmail+vpopmail+maildir to sendmail+dovecot+maildir+vpopmail The migrating is working great thanks to the help from the list and the wiki. I'm now running the infamous problem about duplicating emails, because of pop3 UIDL mismatch. My question is: anyone knows that the pop3_uidl_format string for a vpopmail server? I'm using vpopmail auth and

Hi Aki, thanks for the CVE.? For quick mitigation, can you confirm how to disable these plugins and what they provide?? We'd like to assess if we are using them while we rollout the fix. Regards, KAM

Are you talking about checking conf files or binary files?? For example, does the existence of /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so imply an exploitable situation?? Are their settings in a conf file that
