Hi all, I know some may find this OT, so please ignore this if you think it's OT. I don't know any Linux-friendly Windows mailing lists / forums that will even bother with Linux related questions. I want to carry some data (client info, documents, photos, email, accounting stuff, etc) with me on a USB HDD, but want to encrypt it. I know one easy way to shared data between Windows &

Hi! I upgraded the 2.2 packages today (from 2:2.2.28-1~auto+5 to 2:2.2.28-1~auto+8) I now I'm getting an error: Mar 20 13:25:58 mproxy dovecot: auth: Error: imapc(email.charite.de:993): Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) I checked, and alas, I had ssl_client_ca_dir = ssl_client_ca_file = So I set:

I'm thinking of migrating from 1.1.7 (default RPM on SUSE 11.1) to 2.0.6 compiled from source using the default locations. Any Gotchas to expect that are different to an upgrade from 1.2? Any hints from moving from RPM to compiling from source and retaining the default configuration under /usr/local? TIA -- Brian Duffell RiscPC600 | VRPC Sa-Adjust RISC OS 6.10 96Mb Linux PCs

Due to the ongoing performance issues with 2.0.x I switched back to 1.2.15 yesterday evening, with no changes to the machine or my users. (I migrated from 1.2.15 to 2.0.x by converting the existing config) Today, we have MUCH LESS load, with the same number of logins/min. I cannot say what exactly causes this immense increase in load, but one observation is that the time spent in system() has

During norml operation this morning we're seeing a significantly increased load on the IMAP server (factor 5, from 5 to 25). Does dovecot need to rebuild index files or perform other IO intensive operations after the upgrade? We're using Maildir Our monitoring shows increased "system" time. We're runnign fewer processes, the IO rate ist identical to yesterday, memory usage

After upgrading from 2.2.28-1~auto+45 to 2.2.29-1~auto+25 I'm gettings this: May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: auth: Fatal: passdb imap: Cannot verify certificate without ssl_ca_dir or ssl_ca_file setting May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken

Hi all, are there any pitfalls known for the migration from 2.0.18 to 2.1? Can I simply stop dovecot, make install and start again? --Frank Elsner

All over a sudden the getquota plugin in SquirrelMail doesn't work anymore. I activated debugging an got: IMAP command sent: a001 GETQUOTAROOT "INBOX" IMAP response received: Array ( [0] => * QUOTAROOT "INBOX" "" [1] => * QUOTA "" () ) A manual test results in: . GETQUOTAROOT "INBOX" * QUOTAROOT "INBOX"

I'm using the auto builds (2:2.2.24-1~auto+3) for Ubuntu/Debian. The recent upgrade to 2.2.24 cause the follwoing error to appear: I can log in to a mailbox via dovecot I can delete emails Upon expunge, dovecot crashes: Apr 29 11:05:30 mproxy dovecot: imap(hildeb): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=142514, msgid=, size=10086 Apr 29 11:05:30 mproxy dovecot: imap(hildeb): expunge: box=INBOX,

How do I set message flags in sieve rules in such a way that e.g. Thunderbird is displaying the mail as "important"? Is there a list of hwo flags are interpreted by different IMAP clients? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Gesch?ftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charit? - Universit?tsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax:
