Hello Everyone, I am playing with the $subject matter using 1.0alpha4, and thanks to the archives, I lifted this one from Alexander Shikoff off and used it in my setup. auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb pam { args = pop3 } passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf }

When I attempted to import my Contacts list into dovecot, my mail client told me that the IMAP server did not support "Special" folders. Is there a way to to do the contacts, or sync up Contacts & Calendar from a database or something else? I'm using both Thunderbird and Outlook.

I have seen a few suggestions on how to address the issue of a system employing both real and virtual users and domains. Is there any definitive solution as to how this should be accomplished? The system I am construction will have several hundred users, both real and virtual, and probably seven domains. I plan on using MySQL to handle the user names and passwords. -- Gerard "Seen it

Dear List, Is the latest test version suitable for production systems? Our current servers use 0.99 on FC4 and we would like to add shared folders via the test version.

Hi all, How do I get to previous versions of the dovecot source code? I wanted to download dovecot-1.0.beta7, but can't find it via the web, only the latest version (beta8). It's probably obvious how to do this...but I'm not seeing it. Thanks much! Jackie ---- Jackie Hunt ACNS Voice: (970)

Hi all I seem to have this problem whereby if I delete an email, then the deleted email does not appear in the Trash folder. I tried setting dovecot mail_debug = yes, but I find in syslog, mail.log etc that there is very limited information. If anyone could assit, I would be most greatful. Kind Regards Brent Clark P.s.

I was just wondering if anyone was using or aware of a program to create MySQL Data Bases for use with Dovecot. For Postfix, there is the 'Postfixadmin' application. I have not seen anything similar for Dovecot and was wondering if one existed.

I haven't tried this yet; however, I would like to know if it would work. Using Postfix, I am setting up numerous virtual users. These users obviously do not have an account on the mail server. I have created a "domain.net" account. Assuming that Postfix is properly set up to deliver to the specified accounts, which will be held under the "domain.net" directory, will this

Hello, I would like to set up a POP account which also forwards email elsewhere. In qmail for example it is easy to set up by creating a dot qmail file inside the users mailbox. How can this be done with Postfix? For awareness I'm using Postfix + Dovecot for POP3 authentication. Thanks, Duncan

I tried RC16 from RC7 and like other releases since RC7 it is significantly slower. I'm still trying to figure out why. But I have again switched back. Do new version take up a lot more ram perhaps? I'm running with a gig of ram, and I'm running a few other apps. It's not a fast computer, just an old 754 pin semptron. But the point is that RC7 runs a lot faster than RC16.

I'm currently setting up a large mail system, with different services split out onto different machines. What I want is this: machine1: dovecot smtp auth, no pop/imap machine2: dovecot lda, no pop/imap machine3: pop/imap, nothing else machine3 is obviously not the issue. Is there a way to run machine1 and machine2 with just their respective services, but no pop/imap? -- Marshal Newrock

Hi, I currently use rc2 on FreeBSD AMD64.

I was thinking about renaming default_mail_env to something that is more understandable. I'll keep it working for backwards compatibility anyway. How about: # Location for users' mailboxes. This is the same as the old default_mail_env # setting. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot tries to find the # mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user doesn't have any

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

I have a mail account which needs to be accessed by 4-5 people simultaneously through IMAP. As of now I have configured it on the respective clients using the same username and password so we have multiple people accessing the same account through their mail clients simultaneously and it is working flawlessly.

Hi I have Redhat ES4.0 with dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1 installed.
