I was told to use dovecot because it was easier than cyrus. I just upgraded from fc1 to fc3. I am not sure what fc1 used but I think it was cyrus and it worked perfect out of the box no configurations to do. The new cyrus-imapd is not so simple so I got dovecot. I see examples saying to use mbox=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u but when I try that I cannot map mail folders that reside

Hi! I am using Dovecot 1.0.10 with LDA/postfix option reading user data from ldap, but the problem would be nonexistent maildir. Connection with ldap should be fine since reading proper maildir folder.

Hello, I'm trying dovecot-lda (deliver.c has CVS version 1.18). When I try to deliver a mail, an empty directory is created name $HOME/mail. This is neither the configured (via LDAP) nor the default "mail" setting in the /usr/local/etc/dovecot-deliver.conf. When the $HOME directory does not exist, but the user itself: Sep 1 11:47:12 localhost deliver: mbox: Can't create

Hi there, I use dovecot-1.1-rc4, got imap, imaps, pop3 & pop3s working fine with the mbox format. I use sendmail-8.14.2 as an MTA, sendmail uses procmail as an LDA. I migrated to maildir format now, and pipe all my mail to deliver right now to be able to make use of the indexing etc... Problem is I run into some errors : #My .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin

All, Not sure what to do next. Have imap working in that I can see messages in inbox. When I create a folder it won't create one. Looking at maillog shows that I don't have rights to folder /var/spool/mail/.sent or whatever folder I am trying to create. I have procmailrc and dovecot.conf point to /home/Maildir but for some reason something is tied to /var/spool/mail. Of course I am

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.

Hi there, im new to dovecot but I made my way trough configuring it. I almost get it running at least for one IMAP user. The problem is I got no local user thus no home directories, all Mailboxes are in mbox format under: /var/spool/mail: Looks like this: -SNIP- drwx------ 3 web1p2 poponly 19 2004-08-13 00:05 indexes -rw------- 1 nobody nobody 0 2004-03-26 21:51

(repost gmane message as list member) I need some help with Dovecot-1.0rc2 on Gentoo Linux. My test harness is one Thunderbird-1.5.0.4 client, storage using legacy mbox directories ported over from an old UW-IMAP/sendmail combo running on RHL 8. Config is intended to be passwd/pam, plaintext login allowed (until I migrate everyone to ssl). After this is working, postfix and dspam are to be

Hello!

I can't seem to get imap virtual users to work with database authentication on new Scientific Linux 6.5 server with Sendmail 8.14.4 & Dovecot 2.0.9 Apparently I have to also create system users because sendmail/procmail/dovecot want to check directory ownership. So I created a database, made entry for the user, created the user chayes on the system. But %u always contains just chayes

Hi guys, I have a system whereby I am forced to deal with mbox files of /var/spool/mail/user1 (mbox text file) /var/spool/mail/user2 (mbox text file) etc Their mail homes are maildir format in: /home/user1/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} /home/user2/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} etc I can set things up so that the mbox inbox is shown using namespaces: namespace private { separator = / prefix =

this is Redhat 6.3 I installed sendmail and dovecot. but sendmail can continue send mail as MTA all mails go to /var/spool/mail this is problem for dovecot. dovecot cannot get it goto dovecot inbox. if setup mailbox poing to /var/spool/mail/%u, it is workable but if set up maildir to somewhere else ,I cannot receive mail by dovecot.

I am lost as to what I am missing. I am setting up dovecot 2.0.9 on a RHEL 6.4 machine as provided by my provider. I have IMAP up and running, and I have POP3 up and running. Testing confirms this. Also, if it makes a difference, I enabled dovecot as my LDA. Sendmail was setup as well due to our 1.x version using it and I though I had to. Anyway, everything is working perfectly with the

Problem described: I am trying to get Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL setup to work together in a virtual mail hosting platform. I am running Postfix 2.3.x, and MySQL 5.0.x. I am trying to use Dovecot's LDA for delivery to the users vmail home directory -- usually under /var/vmail/domain.com/j/jdoe for home and /var/vmail/domain.com/j/jdoe/.maildir for mail location, using MAILDIR format.
