I am testing the version on FreeBSD 7.3-PRELEASE (I doubt it's the issue) and I am having a problem with pop3. Here is what I see in the log when I attempt to connect to port 110: Feb 22 18:15:03 master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Feb 22 18:15:08 pop3-login: Panic: file login-settings.c: line 216 (login_settings_read): assertion failed: (input.roots[count] == NULL) Feb

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. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I have two questions: 1. What method/tool (other than a MuA) can I use to test my Dovecot setup from Windows CLI when ssl is enabled?

Hi, We would like to switch from courier-imap to dovecot. I have installed dovecot on a machine running FreeBSD 6.3 and now testing it. My questions are below: 1. Can I configure dovecot to delete all files that are older, say 10 days, from defined mail boxes (for example Trash or Spam). 2. After I access mail box (using web mail squirrel imap) all emails moved from 'new' directory

Hi, I'm having a problem with the Sylpheed mail client and dovcot 1.0.rc15. Sylpheed does not like how dovecot is returning LIST output so it cannot see subfolders. Note: Sylpheed 2.4 actually works with the same server so apparently something in a newer version of Sylpheed has changed. This is some dialog with the Sylpheed mailing list: > > Apparently it sees them but they're

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm migrating from ?old skool? solution with one mail client (MUA) on one computer, which retrieves mail via POP3, sorts it and manages it locally to installation when there are several MUAs on different devices, accessing mail via IMAP4, and all sorting and management should be server-side. Sorting is ?easy?: sieve. Here are some nuisance

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

hi all, I've been trying to use dovecot (from cvs 03.mar.2003, linux 2.2.20, gcc 2.96, openssl 0.9.7a) as an replacement for uw-imap, and it seems to be doing its job, except for one thing: I have my mua (sylpheed-claws from cvs) set up so that it will sort message into certain(imap) directories. so when I check the mail in the INBOX, new mails will be processed automatically and, for

Greetings, all Last night I migrated our mail between two machines... both running dovecot 0.99.xx. In the process, I wanted to make some small changes, namely that new mail be delivered to mboxs in /var/mail/%u and IMAP mail stored in Maildirs at ~/.imap ... I tried using: default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u But had no luck. Is it only 1.0 that can work with two

So, I _finally_ got the time to upgrade from 0.99.14 ... which I told myself I'd upgrade from once 1.0 was released... (yep, I've been _that_ busy :) So I read the Wiki page on 0.99->1.0 transition, and went through the config file - for all of about 5 or 10 minutes. I logged in at 11pm when nobody else should be using it, restarted dovecot with the new version, and logged in.

I'm the beginner for IMAP/POP3 servers. I'm starting to use Dovecot. But I'm confusing between Courier-IMAP and Dovecot. Anyone tell me some quick tips regarding this issue. What's the better and what's the worst thing comparing these two IMAP/POP3 servers? I think the Dovecot is good enough for security and performance issue over Courier. Is it right? And how about the feature

Hi folks, We're looking to integrate our telephone system with our email system. The telephone system will use IMAP4 to store WAV files in a users mailbox and then retrieve them for playing if necessary. This is usually called "unified messaging". The manufacturers are claiming full integration with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes using IMAP4 and a single username and

Just wonder if it is possible to enable/disable IMAP4 on Dovecot (2.0.x as far) on per-user basis? The deal is simple: our policy is not to store a lot of mailing on mailserver (the user should store it locally), thus the 'use POP3' approach, but for a vary few users it is permitted to use IMAP4. But users sometimes simple miss the point that some mail clients (e.g. TB)

Hello! I have the following three types of mailboxes on my server: 1) Regular user mail /var/mail/<user> in mbox format 2) Suspected spam in /var/tmp/spamprobe in mbox format 3) Archived mailing list in /home/mks/mksarch in mbox format I want the 1) to be only accessible to the respective <user>, obviously (POP3 and/or IMAP4). I wanted the 2) to be accessible to all users --

Hi all. I'm making a case to use Dovecot over Courier and would like some feedback. I've searched the web extensively and have been unable to find any hard information regarding Dovecot's IMAP performance. I've got some pressure to use Courier but my gut tells me that Dovecot should be much faster. In particular, I will have typical users with mailboxes exceeding 10,000
