Seeing other people subscribed non-shared mailboxes
Hello Timo,
With dovecot-2.0.8/Maildir, in a simple shared mailboxes setting I noticed the
following :
- user "doveimap" has 2 mailboxes : "Common" and "Private"
- he shares only the "Common" mailbox to user "dovepop" doing :
x setacl "Common" dovepop lrwstipekxacd
x OK Setacl complete.
- he subscribed to both

Shared mailboxes unix permissions
Hello Timo,
I'm running dovecot-1.2.11/Maildir and plan to migrate to single UID mailboxes
some day, but for now, I've got "system" users and I'm testing permissions
handling in order to set up shared mailboxes.
The private namespace mailboxes location is
location = maildir:/courriel/boites/%u:CONTROL=/courriel/meta/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-test/indexes/%1u/%u

Thunderbird subscription bug ?
Hello Timo,
I'm having a hard time trying to understand why Thunderbird 3.0.3 doesn't allow
me to subscribe to a shared mailbox which I can subscribe to via Kmail for
instance.
I'm running dovecot-1.2.11/Maildir. The user 'doveimap' shares his mailbox
folder/subfolder to the 'dovepop' user which should see it in the '#shared'
shared namespace at the following

Symlink shared mailboxes and system_user extra field
Hello,
I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink.
I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this :
/courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs)
/courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs)
/var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored)
I created :

How many namespaces for several groups of shared mailboxes ?
Hello Timo,
let's say you want to implement several distinct groups of shared mailboxes via
one (several) public namespace(s) with dovecot-1.1.x/Maildir. For instance,
team1, team2 and team3 work on different projects (project1, project2,
project3).
Obviously, as many public namespaces (#team1, #team2, #team3) would do the
trick, but then, any user (including users who don't belong to

Maildir hierarchy sep bug ?
Hello Timo,
I'm experiencing the following different behaviors with dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir.
My Maildir hierarchy separator is the "." (dot) character.
My namespaces, when I use them, separator is "/".
When I run the server without any namespaces, I can create mailboxes named something like
first.name
which, of course, are shown to the client as

ACL plugin when file in Maildir is not a directory
Hello Timo,
On a production (by that I mean many users) dovecot-1.1.8/Maidir server where
ACL plugin has been enabled, I ran on a log verbosity problem :
For some reason (in fact, due to mbox -> Maildir migration script), some people
have in their Maildir a .procmail.logfile file.
The problem is that dovecot (or the ACL plugin) wants to find a dovecot-acl
file in what it would like to be a

Thunderbird namespace handling
Hello,
I've noticed that Thunderbird (3.0.3) seems to wrongly "repeat" the namespace
prefix when selecting the top level maildir of a namesapce.
It doesn't occur if "list=yes" and TB has no clue about the namespace prefix.
But it seems to happen only when TB is aware of the namespace prefix, either
via the NAMESPACE command (so in "hidden=no" setups) or via

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 :

I'm using dovecot with virtual accounts stored in a

Domain blacklisting
Hello,
I run dovecot-2/Maildir/LDAP user/passdb and would like to be able to deny
acess to users who connect from certain domains/IP (google.com for instance
since in that case they gave their credentials to a third party).
My understanding is that I cannot use some negative form of "allow_nets". The
only mechanism I can think of is tcp_wrappers. However, dovecot documentation

Master user without pass=yes error
Hello Timo,
I just tried the master user feature with a very simple setup (Dovecot v2.2.15) :

!include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap passdb (userdb prefetched) without auth_bind=yes
without pass=yes I get this userdb lookup error :

test65 killed by SIGSEV
Hi,
I had successfully set up dovecot-1.0-test62 + ldap pass/user db, but

Clients and dovecot-uidlist
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what exactly (and why) are the consequences of a lost
or removal of the dovecot-uidlist file on an IMAP client (Thunderbird for
instance).
I took for granted that it was that the client would download all messages
again since it might be confused by some UID changes. But I don't really see
why (on the IMAP protocol level) and I don't know how to

Slightly OT : Maildir format (silly) questions
Hello,
I was asking what was the motivation for not having the envelope From in the
Maildir format, as defined in the qmail spec :
"The message is delivered without an extra UUCP-
style From_ line, without any >From quoting, and without an
extra blank line at the end."
which may sound silly since we lose an important piece of information.

Dovecot load balancing
Hello,
I'd like to figure out how to set up a site running dovecot on multiple
computers for load balancing reasons.
I'm currently running dovecot-1.0.14 on a 8GB RAM, 2 quad-core 2.66Ghz Xeon
single server which runs FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE SMP.
. the mailbox format was mbox and I successfully migrated to Maildir only
