similar to: Dovecot - Issue with Maildir++ quotas

Hi am having a small issue with the quota plugin In Squirrelmail when a message is deleted, it seems to be copied to the Trash folder *before* it is deleted from the current folder. However if it is a large message being deleted and the mailbox is close to its quota limit, it means dovecot will deny the copy operation as the quota will be exceeded if the message is copied Because of this, I

Can somebody post details for how to get maildir++ quotas working in the latest CVS? I have tried but can't get the CAPABILITY string to show "QUOTA"; and the GETQUOTAROOT command is recognized, but returns nothing... 2 GETQUOTAROOT INBOX * QUOTAROOT "INBOX" "" * QUOTA "" () 2 OK Getquotaroot completed. These are the settings I have... am I

I've found what I think is an inconsistency in the Maildir quota implementation. According to the Maildir++ quota specification at: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html Maildir++ quota can be specified as maximum size, or maximum number of messages, or even both. The size specification is supposed to be in bytes. So I could use '10000000S' to set a quota of

Hello, Seems there is some nasty problems with Dovecot 1.1.4... We use Maildir++ quota, and when moving mail to Trash, Dovecot just drop the connection... when the maildir is overquota. Is there any way to avoid that and just move the mail to the trash allowing user to expunge their mail easily without calling support to do rm -rf Maildir/cur ? Thanks, /Xavier -------------- next part

Hi, I've got an old dovecot installation (0.99.10.5) which is used as the back-end for a squirrelmail web mailer. Now I need to decide whether to update it to a newer version of dovecot or to switch to a different software. One feature that I really need is to be able to place messages and subfolders in a folder at the same time. This is with mbox format files (I can't use maildir). The

Hi folks. I was doing some testing this morning and realized Dovecot RC2 isn't fully compliant with the maildir++ specification. Most notably, it appears that Dovecot isn't creating a "maildirfolder" file (0 byte length) in folders it creates. >From http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html "Within each subdirectory there's an empty file,

Hi, I am trying to deal with the problem, that under regular mbox format a path can lead to either a file or a directory, but not both, while under IMAP, a path is usually both, a message folder containing subfolders. I found dovecot's approach to this problem, the Maildir++ layout described under http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders , and was astonished to see, what problems come with

Hi everyone. I'm confused about LAYOUT=fs... Does using LAYOUT=fs breaks maildir++ quota, if I use this quota scheme? What are the advantages anyway of using LAYOUT=fs vs LAYOUT=maildir++ ? (it's not important in my case if users can't create folders with dots '.') Thanks in advance, Ezequiel

Yes, I have still inbox mbox format because I have sendmail delivering there.

Hi All, I've read a bit about this but don't really see a full solution anywhere. Has anyone actually got a good fix for this? Telling a user they are over quota then not allowing them to delete anything does seem the height of perversion. =) Question is - is this even a problem for the IMAP server? Or should the MUA be detecting over quota problems and then issuing the right

Hi! I'm testing 1.1, and have some questions. (How) Can I override the default maildir++ quota setting (I mean quota_rule) in the userdb, so that one won't have quota at all. Right now I'm setting a very high limit in the userdb with quota_rule=*:storage=99G in the extra field. Prior to 1.1 I was using 1.0 and had fs quota. I've had set up dovecot so that the indexes were

Whilst documenting LAYOUT=maildir++ under dbox, that got me thinking: Can we specify :LAYOUT=maildir++ with mbox? If I have it right, this should then remove the problem of not being able to have messages and mail subfolders in the same mail folder. So for example if we had mail location specified as: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:LAYOUT=maildir++ we would have files: ~/mail/inbox - file

Hi to all, I am semi-new to the dovecot system, but i like it very much for the versatility of all the system. I have a problem: i am migrating my servers from postfix with vda patch + courier imap to dovecot. All works fine, except for one thing: i use Maildir++ format, but i don't know how to make the file maildirsize into the home of the users. This file is needed by me becouse i have a

I have this default configuration [0], when use the userdb_mail to point to the mdbox location, the inbox subfolders show differently in a firebird client. So I decided to copy the whole default mail_location into the userdb_mail configuration [2]. But then I get errors [3]. Should I change the namespace configuration here, how? My default namespaces are inbox and 4archives [0] [@ ]#

With this setting, all folders are empty, I guess understandable, because the mdbox has its own indexes stored locally with it. Does not explain though why inbox is empty.

Hi Timo et al. I've been trying to track down why Dovecot recalculations of maildirsize are so wildly different (lower) than what Maildrop comes up with. I think I've found some bizarre behavior in Dovecot -- this is in beta9 as well as CVS from yesterday. It appears Dovecot isn't looking at /Maildir/cur ... /Maildir/new and /Maildir/tmp. It is, however, looking at

Hello list, After upgrade to dovecot version 1.2.6 I have noticed some quota malfunctions(users become often overquota). Looking at logs closely I have found that quota value resets to general dovecot-config( quota = maildir:Mailbox quota quota_rule = *:storage=500M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% ), after dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh command. The problem that

Dear All, can I use Maildir++ Layout for private namespace and fs-layout for public namespace on the same server, provided that the hierarchy separator is the same (.)? Are all parts of dovecot (especially deliver, sieve and lmtp) compatible with fs-layout? Are there any restrictions I have to obey? - Chris
