Mixing mbox and maildir
Hi there.
I understood that in Dovecot 1.0 it should be possible to mix the usage
of mbox and maildir mailboxes.
I just downloaded, built, and am testing dovecot-stable-20050304.
I'm a bit confused as to the terms of namespaces (haven't read that
part of the RFC yet), but this does not seem related.
Anyway, when I try specifying:
default_mail_env = ~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

directory names - have to begin with a dot?
Hi there...
Two questions:
(1) Is there an easy way to have Dovecot recognize subdirectories that
do not begin with a dot as sub-hierarchies?
(2) Is there a way to have the root folder map to a certain other
mbox/maildir? I want a setup like this:
/ -> $HOME/mbox
/INBOX -> /var/spool/<username>
/folder -> $HOME/mail/folder
/folder/foo -> $HOME/mail/folder/foo

IMAP subscriptions - how, for what and why?
Again, not a Dovecot issua - but can someone clarify better what IMAP
subscriptions (SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE/LSUB) are and what they are used
for?
I've seen a few times in Microsoft mail clients, the options to
subscribe to folders and to "show only subscribed folders". I haven't
played much with them, though. But what's the actual point? Except
for being returned in the

[PATCH] settings parsing section/context return bug
There seems to be a minor bug in the settings parsing code (as of
today's dovecot-stable snapshot - 20050731) - after the closing
bracket of protocol (imap/pop3) {} section, the parser still regards
all options as affecting only that protocol and not globally (I have
some options, protocol imap {}, protocol pop3 {}, and then some more
options - now those latter options seem to only affect

INBOX as either mbox or Maildir
In Dovecot 0.99, I recall somewhere I read it was possible for INBOX to
be both a Maildir and an mbox in the same configuration (either
automatically detected, or depending on the existence in a different
location). Perhaps I was wrong, I'm not sure.
Any way, I now became interested in this sort of setup:
Most users have their spool an mbox in /var/mail/<username>, and then

Namespace with a single mailbox (for spam)
Hi there.
Perhaps this is answered somewhere, but a short search through the
mailing list and Wiki yielded nothing.
We have spam filtering set up for all users, with all messages over
some spam threshold going to a separate mbox. There is one directory
containing the spam mboxes of all users (call it "/var/spool/spam",
right now), with the spam box of a user residing in

Thunderbird, IDLE, mailbox not always SELECTed
Hi there.
Although it does not seem to be a Dovecot issue, I'm sending this here
as people in this list may know better where exactly the problem is.
I am working on Dovecot 1.0 (.alpha5, right now), with the aim that
when Dovecot becomes stable we can put that into production. Recently
after being more clear with the behaviour (I'm most into namespaces
and mbox/maildir mixing issues,

Problems building the java/jdk14 port
Hi there.
I am unable to build the java/jdk14 port. I downloaded the patches
and source distribution, and get some weird HotSpot error.
I am not sure what the problem could be. Following is the relevant
output of make on the port.
Any ideas?

passdb-pam: PAM_RHOST on FreeBSD >= 5.0 (where PAM != Linux-PAM)
This is actually something I had on my mind to write about in the past
few -stable and alpha releases, but did not get to and instead always
patched myself. Now having updated to the latest snapshot (which may
be released as beta1), I stumbled on it again:
In src/auth/passdb-pam.c, where the client host is passed to PAM, the
code looks like this:
#ifdef PAM_RHOST

Solved problem with index corruption (new mail not seen)
Having had many problems in the past with IDLE not working, new
messages not being seen from Thunderbird, and sometimes garbage seen
as part of mailboxes, I eventually added some workaround/sanity check
patch to the imap_sync_deinit code to reread the offsets from the
index and that solved the problem.
Now with beta7 (I've previously used beta2), this seems not to be
necessary anymore. I

Hostname passed to PAM as rhost
(I am sorry to bother the list with something I should have verified
myself right now - I simply do not have access to the source code
here)
Thinking of some limit I wanted to put with authentication, I am
wondering - when Dovecot authenticates a user using PAM, now that
(in 1.0) it passes the rhost item to PAM, it passes a hostname, not
an IP address.
Does it double-verify the DNS record

PAM_RHOST item
A little problem, which is bugging me: when using PAM authentication,
Dovecot (0.99.5) does not set the PAM_RHOST item, so the PAM modules
cannot know who the client is. We need this for some PAM module doing
access control.
Changing passdb-pam.c to pam_set_item it seems trivial, but I'm bugged
as to how to get the client name from there. It seems not to be
available in the auth_request

Dovecot-1.0.beta1: New mail sometimes fails to appear
Hi there...
Having updated to 1.0.beta1, I for a while thought a bad bug with IDLE
handling that caused new mail in INBOX not to appear when using Mozilla
Thunderbird has been solved. Although I can not reproduce one kind of
problem anymore, after a short while it again appears that one does not
always see one's new mail with Thunderbird.
I can not consistently reproduce the bug, but

Writing a DVD
Hi there.
I am unsuccessfully trying to write a data DVD on FreeBSD 4.8.
The writer is a Sony DVD RW DRU-500A on IDE. I'm using the atapicam
driver. The media is a Sony DVD+RW which arrived with the writer.
Both with cdrecord ProDVD (from the ports or otherwise) and dvdrtools
I get a general SCSI retryable error message, when trying to write a

Writing a new mailbox access module
Having finished a few other projects, I'm contemplating trying to
write a new mailbox module which could be useful for us here. I would
appreciate any guidance.
Basically, I need (or rather, could use) a module that provides a
merge of two mailboxes (which are themselves accessed by other
modules), cascading them, so that:
* The user sees one mailbox M, which contains all the messages in

Envelope From changed - why?
Hi there.
I am evaluating Dovecot as an IMAP server. I noticed on thing which
irritates me. When a user saves a message to an IMAP folder with the
Dovecot server, the envelope From line is changed to the address of
that user, instead of keeping the From line of the original message.
How can I have the original envelope From line preserved when saving
messages?

1.0-test7
http://dovecot.org/test/
Lots of bugfixes related to syncing. There's still some left.
Somewhat working mbox support:
- combined syncing/rewriting uses much less disk I/O than with older
mbox code
- expunges aren't working yet
- last-uid field in X-IMAPbase header isn't updated
- it's currently syncing the whole mbox constantly even if it hasn't

Dovecot development status v1.0
Timo,
Regarding:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-January/006144.html
I would like an estimate of where you are on the path to a
released (dovecot-1.0). I have read your statement regarding
the -stable series and am wondering when we see the first
feature complete -beta of v1.0?
Thank for your hard efforts. I have been a happy customer
for about a year.

Mixing MBOX and Maildir?
Is it possible to have some folders be mbox and some be maildir format?
Why you might ask? Sometime for diagnostics I have the Exim MTA archive
certain messages in MBOX format and then I want to copy them into an
imao folder to look at them with Thunderbird. When I used MBOX all I had
to do was copy the file into a folder and it worked. So what I'd like to
do is have a folder with a

1.0 beta1 released
As promised, here it is finally.
v1.0 is getting nearer and I want people to start looking at Dovecot's
sources. Getting some more help with development would be nice, but I'd
also like to hear if there are any hidden bugs in the code. So, one week
from now I'll start offering 1000 EUR for the first person to point out
a remotely exploitable security hole in Dovecot. See
