Shared subscription, acl-list and uidvalidity(s)
Hello,
I'm running dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/ACL plugin. I sucessfully set up a Maildir
shared between users of the unix group 'doveshared' via a public namespace,
unix permissions and ACL files.
The location of my public namespace is /path/to/public.
I tried 2 sub-setups :
First setup

drwxrws--- 4 root doveshared 4096 Jan 30 13:39 public

Broken Header uidvalidity problem after upgrade
Hi, we use a current Debian etch distribution as basis for our servers,
which are running within a vmware server environment. Our current
configuration consists of a dovecot server with imap enabled and a ldap
based authentication. Mails are stored using the Maildir format on a
central nfs store. We do not use any virtual mailboxes.
Since upgrading from dovecot version 1.0.rc15 (debian

the latest HG of Dovecot 2.0 throws a warning when creating a new mailbox inside an INBOX with 'mdbox' format. It does however create the mailbox correctly.

Why is "UIDVALIDITY changed" fatal?
I've got several users testing Dovecot IMAP at the moment, but some of
them are also accessing their mail via UW-IMAP at other times. (I've
warned them about accessing the same folder simultaneously via
UW-IMAP and Dovecot!) In addition, we have special folders "AutoSpam"
and "Trash" that pruned using Washington's "mailutil" automatically

More detail re dovecot-uidlist and -uidvalidity files
Regarding the dovecot-uidlist header (first line) - I've tried to search
for and figure out what exactly is meant by the "mailbox global uid" and
once I do, how to manually generate the 128 bit hex variation of it? Could
someone elaborate on this, please.
How would omitting the global uid field, beginning with G, affect remote
clients' syncing of mail? Is this field mandatory?

Bug in 0.99.14 mbox handling - mail UIDs are renumbered without bumping UIDVALIDITY
Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 0.99.14-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I think I've identified a bug in Dovecot 0.99.14 as packaged and
distributed by Debian Sarge. I believe the bug lies in the original
Dovecot source, not with any modifications made by Debian.
Specifically, this bug deals with Dovecot's handling of message unique
identifiers (UIDs) for IMAP clients when using the mbox

courier-dovecot-migrate.pl and courier-5: UTF-8 flag
Hi,
Courier to dovecot migration script
https://dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
referenced at the https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
page has a couple of problems. One of them is that the script
could not process courierpop3dsizelist generated by courier-5.
File format has been changed a bit to mark UTF-8 messages
with an additional attribute.
Is it safe to ignore such flag

UIDVALIDITY Change
Hi,
I'm attempting to migrate a Courier-IMAP Server to Dovecto. I've followed the
instructions in the Dovecot wiki and converted the indices using the provided
perl script.
Howevery I'm getting "UIDVALIDITY changed ..." messages in the logfile and
some of the test clients list some messages twice. I didn't find much about
this issue in the wiki.
Any hints?

Manually creating dovecot- files after isync/mbsync mirror
Hi everyone
I'm using isync 1.0.5 patched to do recursive folder listing and mirroring
mail from an external party's IMAP server to a local Maildir, which will be
accessed by Dovecot 2.0.9.
In order to prevent IMAP clients from re-downloading their mail, when
connecting to Dovecot, I'm busy writing a script to generate appropriate
dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-uidvalidity files, per

courier-dovecot-migrate.pl destroyed my indices... still recovering...
I tried to disable courier-pop3 today in favour of dovecot pop3.
Prior to that I ran:
find /home -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs --replace /usr/local/scripts/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --overwrite --recursive --convert {}
( /home is hashed two levels deep: /home/a/a/aanton/Maildir/ )
After that, I got lots of errors like:

Thunderbird Subscription missing
Still not quite got my head around what you are expecting to see.
Presumably folders for other dates in September. Depending on how and
why those folders were created they may not exist.
I do note that you used an ls to show the folders, and I'm assuming from
the config below you are using Maildir, so try an ls -a to show the
hidden folders too (those starting with a .). This should show you

Get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder
Hey again,
sorry, but I have to correct me: Even with dot it's not working
completely. The subscriptions file is not created and the dovecot-acl
file has the wrong path, too.
