Hello, I have upgraded my dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 to dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 recently and now am having weird problem. If somebody's mailbox has the first line in a form of From "User Name" <user at host.domain.edu> Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 instead of From user at host.domain.edu Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 then that mailbox couldn't be precessed by dovecot. It

The following shows up in the "orphaned page" list of the Wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking?action=show&redirect=MboxSoftwareLocks Does the description of Dovecot mbox locking still apply to current versions? If yes, it should be linked from the "Troubleshooting" page. -- Jim Garrison (jhg at acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88

With 1.2.11 and mbox storage, the delay time in pulling new mail headers to the client from imap folders seems to be directly proportional to mailbox size, regardless of the number of new messages. At present, if the mailbox is large, pulling new headers is rather painfully slow. Is this expected behavior? Especially given that the client already has all the "old" mails in the folder

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

Good Morning I have a problem with my dovecot configuration, somepeople can help-me sending me a example of a dovecot with ldap configuration ? dovecot.conf slapd.conf I'm have - dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 - kernel-smp-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 - openldap-2.3.19-4 - Fedora Core 5 Today we connect using PAM but we like connect by LDAP because we have some problems.

I setup a test dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 and left most of the settings as the defaults. In Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 Windows, when I tried to create a subfolder named "subfolder" under INBOX, it showed up as the same level a INBOX and with the name "INBOX^subfolder". I was able to manually create a subfolder using "mkdir ~/mail/test_manual_subfolder; touch

I'm running FC5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp) and Dovecot dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 with Thunderbird 2.0.0.16. I set up imap (dovecot) so I can access my mail locally or remotely. It seems to take a very long time (minutes sometimes) for an Email to be retrieved after I select it in the folder list and/or in the Email list locally or remotely. I've traced the imap process and found it doing a

Hi. I've installed dovecot recently in a Fedora 5 Linux. It seemed to be OK but I begun to get the message "Can't connect to auth server at default: Resource temporarily unavailable". When I get the message, dovecot hangs. The problem is that "temporarily" is not quite true since the only way to get dovecot running again is to restart it. As a matter of fact, I

I have dovecot version 1.0 relese 0.beta8.2.fc5 installed on my FC5 linux box. It acts as an IMAP server to my home LAN. I connect to it from the home PCs over SSL and have installed a certificate in the domain imap.edwards.home to enable this. However, I also use a web site called www.xs2mail.com which retrieves the email from my IMAP server (which has a public DNS entry called

I've got some of our busiest users now using Dovecot instead of UW-IMAP with mbox-format mailboxes and predominantly Outlook Express as the client. Doing some perfomance monitoring (with Solaris 8 process accounting), it looks like Dovecot needing to read only 30-50% of the disk blocks needed by UW-IMAP, but I was hoping for better! What seems to happen, is that most of the connections

dovecot-1.0-1.1.rc15.fc6 When I attempt to drag spam from one IMAP box to another it tells me that I have an invalid mbox format for some emails. Occasionally too when I click on that email box it gives me the same error. uw-imapd never gave me those problems. I use Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 and have the same problem on Windoze XP and MacOSX. Can I and how do I solve this problem? Marc

Anyone have any theories or experiences as to why for a certain user, some of his imap processes hang, and stay around for days and days? He just reported that his Thunderbird was timing out when trying to open folders, I looked on the server, and he had 3 old imap processes from 1 week+ ago. I killed those and his performance immediately improved. He checks mail with Thunderbird > 1.5

I have some users that I will not allow to use POP3 thru my system, but force them to use webmail. Would it be possible to put an extra option in dovecot.conf to force this: # ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Logon processes # user = <username>,<password> # ----------------------------------------------------------------- user =

Hello List, I am back again and I think I am edging closer to getting a solution. I have done some modifications and now dovecot gives me a different error message than before.... Here is what I have for the password_query and user_query password_query = SELECT popbox.cleartext AS password FROM popbox, domain \ WHERE popbox.local_part = 'eddie' AND popbox.domain_name =

Hi All, I'm currently doing nightly full backups of /home. I'm not sure if a full back up is the best way to do backups. I know with my fileserver i do weekly full backup and daily incremental which would file on those type of files. I guess my question to the group is, how do you guys backup Maildir? whats the best way of doing it? -- Gabe Granger Pancentric results-driven

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
