Hi Just u/g to RH FC3 from RH8.0 which seemed to work fine with quotas.

I'm trying to set up dovecot to use /home/username as IMAP root, but it keeps creating /home/username/mail. I need /home/username in order to migrate with the least changes from uw-imap, just by copying .mailboxlist without the INBOX line in it into .subscriptions I tried each of these, one at a time: default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u default_mail_env =

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

Recently, I upgraded (switched) to Fedora Core 2. Previously, I was running Fedora Core 1, with Cyrus-IMAP, and life was good. Now, I can not see any of my folders. I suspect it is a simple dovecot.conf configuration edit, but i'm not experienced enough with it to make the correct edits. I am using Postfix with Dovecot. My mail directory is; /home/(user)/mail snip from the conf file;

Greetings: My outlook users accessing mail via dovecot's imaps have been consistantly getting locked out of their email. It happens about once a week per outlook user. It appears to happen when the are cliking on emails with attachments. When this happens, there are two imap deamons running for that user. I kill both deamons and things start working again. Squirrelmail, thunderbird and

Hi, I'm currently installing a dovecot Server to be a replacement for an uw-imapd. I dont want to touch the clients configuration, because I have too much users... Situation is the following: the mbox files are in the users homedirectory (~/MailImap), automounted via nfs In dovecot.conf I've set default_mail_env = mbox:%h/MailImap:INBOX=/var/mail/%u It works perfect without a value

I have dovecot-0.99.10.5 on Fedora Core 2 installed and otherwise operating using Maildir format for the folders, Kmail as the email client. Got through all the ssl and other security configuration fine, but have one last problem: I can't read the incoming mail from /var/spool/mail/%u. Tried several 'default_mail_env' settings, including none at all, to no avail. When I try to

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

Hello, we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like this: mail/read mail/dovecot .netscape/imap/mailbox .Mail/foo Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server... Is there a way to use this

I am trying to set up dovecot under linux. (RH9 if it matters). I'm having trouble having it find the mail that is already delivered. What I would like is that mail is delivered by fetch mail to /var/spool/mail/mclay (that me) then have dovecot find it. I'm sure that I have not set the dovecot.conf file correctly. The documentation is unclear as to what "mbox" is and
