Hi Timo, dovecot 1.2.0 is great! Faster and more stable on mboxes that 1.1.x by far... good job :-) Today I stumbled over a strange problem when I tried to subscribe an existing Mailbox (mbox), which doesn't work. Thunderbird IMAP log -------------------- 9932[4124558]: 40f3498:imap.fh-trier.de:A:SendData: 11 subscribe "Mail/Archiv/1998" 9932[4124558]: ReadNextLine

Hi! I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my local users on my postfix-system. However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

Hello I occasionally get the following error in dovecot log I've replaced the username by xxxxxxx /user is the user's home directories place, does this means it must be owned by the "mail" group ?

Hi: I get the occasional error below. Is there something I don't have configured correctly? Or should I just ignore this? It is not always this file, sometimes it is the cache.lock file or the log.newlock file. I have a mail client running on my computer and my phone at the same time, could that have something to do with it? Nov 10 08:32:59 rabbitbrush dovecot: IMAP(bob):

Hello all, I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more... I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for instance I got: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.0 starting up (core dumps disabled): 1

Hi, After upgrading to 1.2 I started getting fchown errors in the log. They look like: Jul 12 18:32:54 jukebox dovecot: deliver(kim): fchown(/data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users/tmp/1247416373.M857540P19162.jukebox.alleroedderne.adsl.dk, -1, 500(k im)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=12(mail), group based on /data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users) I have tried to get rid of the by changing

Hi, I have a Fedora 14 x86_64 computer. I run dovecot 2.0.12 on it, only to keep a local imap copy of all my email, in maildir format. A couple days ago the hard disk broke, so I bought a new one, and reinstalled Fedora 14 x86_64 with all the updates. Then I copied all the maildirs from a backup to the new drive. But I can't access email now. No matter how I change sticky bits or ownership

I am running a very small dovecot installation with only one user (me). I use the Solr indexer for indexing. Due to complicated reasons, I was forced to remove all the indexes and need to re-index everything. All the files in my Maildir are owned by md5i:mail (I am md5i), and have 660 permissions. All directories have the same user:group permissions, and 770 with the setguid bit set. (That

Hi, Since upgrading dovecot version (from somewhat ancient to 1.2.16), I see messages in the logs like these: Jan 15 00:55:17 srv0303 dovecot: POP3(obm03): fchown(/home/obm/obm03/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1033(obm), group based on /var/mail/obm03) I know that this is because the mailbox in /var/mail has ownership username:mail.

People, There is an imap client, which runs with user1 uid, but when its accessed to watch a maildir, whose (and its contents) ownership is user1:user1, this error occurs: dovecot: IMAP(user1): fchown(/path/user1/dovecot-uidlist.tmp, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user1), group based on /path/user1) dovecot.conf contains this line: mail_privileged_group = mail

Hi, I am struggling with Postfix/SASL/Dovecot-IMAP setup with ~/Maildir/ setup. Receiving the mail works fine, but viewing the mail(+listing) is failing. The setup I use is simple unix users from etc/passwd, (pam thru SASL) as I only host for a few people. The ~/Maildir folder has the ownership of the user, not mail or vmail, as I would have expected from the master.cf from Postfix, the

I cant figure out permissions with Dovecot. I am new with this program and have tried setting the mail group to "mail" which is the group of my mailboxes which are located in /var/spool/mail. Here's the error I get. fs1 dovecot: imap(tl511insight): Error: chown(/home/tl511insight/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=504(tl511insight), group based

I was recently asked to upgrade some neolithic aged software (UW-IMAP, sendmail 8.12.x, apache 1.3, amongst other horrors). The box is physically remote, so an aggressive "new flush" wasn't an option. I've been able to upgrade the compiler to gcc-3.4, openssl to 1.0.2k, glibc, php to something in the 5.4-branch, etc. I have CLucene working, even. I know should take a shotgun

Hello, i want to configure a virtual mailsystem on an debian server with exim and dovecot. Because it is running on a V-Server, i want to store everythink in a LUKS encrypted contrainer. So i created a group crypt with the members Debian-exim (107), dovecot, (other users with encrypted content) All mails should be stored in /mail in the mounted container. Dovecot has this configuration:
