TESTED AND RUNNING, MIGRATING from MBOX to MAILDIR, PRESERVE UID and OUTLOOK sees the email as downloaded. I hope this helps a lot of people out there. Feel free to post this somewhere else too. By: Horn Wijaya (hwijaya at nodens.biz) 8th May 2008 I have been searching for weeks for a foolproof method to migrate all my users mbox to maildir/dovecot without having the pain of downloading

Hi, I've set up a dovecot server under redhat enterprise 4.3 with the basic configuration(mbox). Everything runs fine under webmail(squirrelmail) and thunderbird. When I try it under outlook/outlook express tough, it takes a couple of minutes after the authentication to get all headers where it takes a couple of seconds under thunderbird(both windows and linux version). I tried

I have come across a strange situation, involving new accounts. I am running Dovecot 0.99.10-5 on Fedora Core 2. Dovecot is configured to use pam for authentication, and the dovecot pam service is configured to use pam_mkhomedir. When an account is created and the user logs in through SquirrelMail, there is no problem. The standard folders are available - Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items and Trash.

Hello, I have an account (called awesome) that does not have access to some public shared folders. I can use this account from Mozilla Thunderbird, but I cannot use it from Outlook. I opened /var/log/maillog. When I try to list all folders, I get this in the log: Dec 28 09:57:38 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): opendir(/var/mail/public) failed: Permission denied However, outlook

Hi, We have a Linux email server running CentOS 4.4. I have a scenario here. The users here use a mixture of outlook express and squirrel mail as their email client. The users download their mail into outlook express via pop3 but the have configured outlook express to leave a copy on the server for 7 days. 1. After downloading the mail into outlook express the users would read the mail and the

Hello! I have a problem with the POP when I want to use mbox and Maildirs. The old users are now using uw-imap, but in the future should theres old e-mail be in mbox format and the new e-mails in maildirs. I'am using this code and its worked fine in Squirrelmail and IMAP. namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes hidden = no prefix = "mbox/" location =

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

I am having problems with Outlook Express v.6 as an Imap client. Deleted emails are not making it to the Trash, or Deleted Items folders. I have been trying to find a setting in Outlook Express to control this. I am running Dovecot on a Red Hat 9.0 box. I do not have this problem with either Squirrelmail, or Mozilla. Any thoughts would be appreciated Fred -- Fred Mulharin Systems Technology

We are running Debian Sarge, Mailserver is Postfix, imap server is dovecot. Our Mailboxes are stored in the mbox format. Folder of the mbox files is /var/mail/ the users are unix system accounts.

Hi, I have a local Dovecot 1.1.4 running. I have a big number of outlook express messages that I like to put into Maildir so that I can use Dovecot's imap to access. I can convert them into mbox format. any available means for me to import outlook express/mbox messages into Maildir/Dovecot? command line will be preferred, Thanks, Angelo

Hello...I'll TRY make this short. This post is not specific to Dovecot...but many subscribers to this list have probably been down this road. (private replies welcome if you want it to go off list) I currently use Sendmail with MailScanner, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Procmail, and qpopper for POP3 (hash mail dirs for mbox files)on RedHat 9 server. Roaming users currently only have the option of

Hey all, Well, I typed up all the below, then managed to fix the problem before sending this to the list. I'll send it anyways, in case anybody else is affected by it (and because it does indicate a definite bug in Dovecot's experimental Kerberos support). The fix is to recompile without kerberos enabled, and to take gssapi out of the auth methods in the config (the latter alone

Hi, I'm having a weir situation with MS Outlook and dovecot. I'm using POP for some users, some can connect, others cant. With tcpdump I got this packet coming from client to server: 2008-03-31 18:30:20.913718 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 128, id 1082, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: TCP (6), length: 48) 192.168.12.9.1072 > 192.168.5.124.110: S, cksum 0x90db (correct), 2564735473:2564735473(0)

I thought I was imaging it but... I have a friend (honestly) that likes to clear his inbox every month by copying older into a folder (e.g. June-2009). Every month he complains that all the mail in the new folder has disappeared. This has happened three times now, and he's sort-of-right. I now believe it's a bug rather than him. The setup is Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0 and the client is

Hi Everyone, Which paid or unpaid commercial plugin is available out there for Asterisk that would do Outlook contacts pop-up that is proven to work great with MS Outlook 2007 and Asterisk 1.6. It would be a bonus to do Dialout as well through the Outlook. Thanks, Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi All, This is my first post so forgive me if this hits the wrong list. I have been using dovecot for years happily with SendMail on mainly CentOS servers, and my customers are starting to more and more use Thunderbird, so my perfect model is: Linux --> Dovecot --> SendMail --> Thunderbird (or mobile phone e-mail app). I do have some customers using Outlook or Windows Live Mail,

Hi I am using Dovecot 0.99.12.1 (just upgraded) on a site with about 1500 mailboxes. One thing I have noticed is when the client outlook express is receiving a large mail via pop3 it gets a time out. There is traffic. If you click on the "wait" button in the dialogue the mail continues to download. This seem to relate to the "Server Timeouts" setting under mail account

Hello, I'm running debain on my machine with postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot installed. Everything works fine and I'm able to access my mail via squirrelmail and via Outlook with imap. However I want to create subfolders what is not possible. After reading I discovered that I use mbox and that maildir is needed in order to be able to use subfolders. I have created a Maildir folder with

I am using Dovecot IMAP and added an IMAP folder to an Outlook client which is also popping another account. Both account folders exist in the same client. I am wondering if I can drag the pop-ed mail to the IMAP folder, thereby transferring old mail to the IMAP folder? Outlook allows me to click and drag folders into the IMAP folder. You see where I am going with this, I wnat to
