OE pop3 > imap subfolder migration?
Hello.
This isn't actually a dovecot question, but I'm running in clienys
servers dovecot mostly as pop3 server and now started to migrate some
servers to imap.
But as clients uses Outlook Express how to transfer their pop3 settings
and mailboxes to imap?. Making a new mail account for imap is easy, and
drag & drop the default folders (inbox, outbox etc) messages to imap
accounts

IDLE with inotify problem
Hi,
I recently switched from courier imap to dovecot. With courier I had
a working IDLE setup that informed me immediately when new mail
arrived. With Dovecot it is different, sometimes i get an immediate
result but most of the time it takes a rather long time for the
notification to return to the client.
For testing purposes I set mailbox_idle_check_interval = 1 and i now
get the same

meaning of parameter imap_idle_notify_interval??
Hello,
is my understanding of the parameter "imap_idle_notify_interval" right,
if i say,

VZW Blackberry BIS problems?
Ever since Columbus day things have been strange with my two dovecot
servers, according to my Blackberry users.
We do not have a BES just the standard BIS that comes with a personal
account.
Several people have told me that since that Monday that they get
occasional duplicate copies of messages which only appear singularly in
their Maildir inboxes.

New Dovecot installation and OE not POPing problems
Greetings:
Recently I converted my mailserver to Postfix with some local accounts being
accessed via Dovecot and POP3S.
The clients are OE. The users are reporting that they aren't getting their
messages. In the past with my old (IW?) POP server, I just used mail -f
/var/spool/user and deleted the "DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE...." message #1
and this cleared any problems with

Steroids for Rsync!
I've been researching the state of 'file alteration monitoring'
technology on Linux. Famd uses dnotify to inefficently monitor a handful
of directories. The replacement for dnotify is being worked on in the
kenel and it's called inotify. If I understand it correctly and they get
it finished, it would be an awesome addition to rsync. With it, you
could run rsync to update a

[PATCH] Better detection for ioloop and notify
Hi List!
Attached is a patch to configure.in to test that epoll, poll, inotify, kqueue
and dnotify actually work. It also attempts to select the best one for you if
none specified.
This supercedes my previous patch in the re beta9 thread.
Hopefully get this in Gentoo's beta9 ebuild soon.
Thanks

mailbox_idle_check_interval in minutes or seconds?
Hi,
sorry for this question, but I didn't find the information in the
documentation or wiki:
Is mailbox_idle_check_interval (in dovecot.conf) in seconds or minutes?
I think it's minutes. But ...
It would be nice, if this will be in the docu of the dovecot.conf.
Thanks

checking all folders for new mail (IMAP STATUS command)
Hello,
I use Thunderbird as IMAP client and do a lot of server-side filtering
with Sieve scripts. To be notified of new mails, I want to check all
folders (a lot of them...) at once for new mails, and not only the
inbox.
According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_-_Thunderbird
it should be sufficient to enable one setting -- given that the IMAP

how to get Windows to notice unix-based delete command (inotify)
Hi there
We have a Samba-based "upload server" where people put files to be
processed. Anyway, when they upload files, a Unix-based script runs and
moves the files off. However, the Windows explorer app doesn't "notice"
the removal, and the user still sees the files. If they F5/refresh
explorer, the files indeed have disappeared. If I have two explorer
