Hi folks, I have configured a public folder as described on the Wiki (more or less; see below), but in TB3 I see the "Public" folder grayed out. I cannot subscribe. Toggling the subscriptions flag doesn't help. What did I miss here? Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated. If this is a TB3 problem: Which MUA would you suggest? Regards Harri

Hello, I cannot run FTS SOLR engine. OS is debian lenny. I re-compiled debian package (from backports) with --with-solr option. Dovecot loads fts_solr plugin. I know that it loads plugin because if I remove lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so, dovecot does not start. But it does not attempt to communicate with SOLR. Simple check: stop solr tomcat, and open 8080 port in netcat: $nc -l -p 8080 dovecot

Hello, I use the debian packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ version 1.1.7-0~auto+17 If I put a sieve script into /home/vmail/sieve-scripts/test.de/test.sieve it is used, so cmusieve works. But if I activate managesieve I get in the log: dovecot: 2008-12-14 21:24:49 Fatal: managesieve-login: USER environment missing dovecot: 2008-12-14 21:24:49 Error: managesieve-login: BYE

Hi. I am running dovecot 1.2.9 here, allowing users to filter their mails with the sieve plugin, and am using sieve to move mail tagged as probably spam into the spam folder. I'm now looking to get the expire plugin working as well. It does work as described in the wiki: Once I manually move messages into other folders, the mysql database is filled with entries. However, the

Dovecot 1.2.10 in Debian, using Dovecot sieve. I have a sieve script, generated by Ingo, that's supposed to mark spam messages as "Seen" and file them into the Junk folder. In part it reads: require ["regex", "body", "imapflags", "fileinto"]; if exists "X-Spam-Flag" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex at scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu

Hi, Since the 23rd of March, we encounter mailbox corruption for some users (15 out of 5000) using POP mainly via Thunderbird.

Dear list, I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how

Hi, I would like to upgrade my server from 1.2.16 with sieve and managesieve to 2.0.8 with pigeonhole. Will I get all functionality I was having before? Should this migration be painless or will it require some additional work? I've read the Upgrading guide so I know I need to create an additional user. I've migrated the mails from Maildir to dbox in the past (using the convert

Hello all, I'm setting up a Dovecot environment here, version 1.2.15 on Debian 6.0.2 "squeeze". This is actually a complete revamp of the previous setup we have in-place here, built from the ground up with updated versions of all involved software. The operators have told me that they use some scripts hacked up by a previous sysadmin to give a single "admin" account full

This is probably a misconfiguration of my MUA; however, I thought I would ask here first. I am using IMAP with Dovecot. Claws-mail is my MUA. Now, when fetching mail via port 143, everything works fine: Mar 29 10:33:00 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user at domain.net>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS However, when I attempt to fetch mail via port 993, I get this

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job has started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1 at mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2 at mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces:

Using Postfix with Virtual Users/Virtual Domains, I have configured it with a wild card entry; i.e., "*.mydomain.com" This works fine in Postfix; however, using Dovecot for delivery is causing the message to bounce since Dovecot does not have an entry in the "user passwd" or "userdb" file. I want to store the catch-all addresses in a separate mailbox. Can I use sieve
