similar to: Dovecot and POP3

Hi All, Our test users re-download the mail they've left on the server when they switch from Qpopper to Dovecot. Qpopper includes the X-UIDL header - X-UIDL: X8V"!E)<"!58?"!"9C"! - on read messages. Any suggestions are appreciated. I've included my dovecot configuration. Thank you, Tristan --- Tristan Tristan Goguen CEO, ILAP? T: 416-250-5600 ext. 205 F:

Dear list, I am planing to set up dovecot-imapd on my production-mail server which currently only runs pop3 via qpopper on debian-sarge. It would be best, if I could only use imapd and use the existing pop3- server (qpopper) as it is. Is this possible? Can the user both use pop3 (qpopper) and imapd (dovecot) in parallel then? Where does dovecot-imapd store its mails? Does it store its mail in

Hi, We just migrated our IMAP service to Dovecot and it performs very well. We also want to migrate our POP3 service (qpopper) to Dovecot. The problem is that Dovecot and Qpopper differently act on expired passwords: Qpopper: -ERR "user": password expired. Dovecot: -ERR Authentication failed. Are there any way to tell Dovecot to report about expired passwords? We have about 30000

I am testing migration from Qpopper 4.0.5 and have come across a problem. Dovecot dies while processing UIDL command when accessing malformed Qpopper's mbox which has duplicated "From " separator. Qpopper occasionally makes such header while rewriting mbox. In the attached file, unnecessary "From " at line 3. ---------------- * Dovecot 1.0.0 on Debian 4.0(x86) * ext3

Hi all. I have a little problem with Dovecot. My POP3 users can retrieve their emails without problem, but if they have "Leave mail in server" (or similar) active in their clients, their mboxes doesn't get updated marking those messages as read. If I access their mboxes locally with "mail -f username" I can see every message marked as non-read, something that never

Qpopper has a compile time option '--enable-auto-delete Automatically delete downloaded msgs' Is there anything similar in dovecot. I'm trying to migrate from qpopper to dovecot any help is appreciated.

hi all, I am hoping to convert a 350K user qpopper installation using mbox to dovecot and maildir (pop3 only). many of the users "leave mail on server", and qpopper's UIDL format isn't (yet) supported by dovecot. since the UIDLs have been written by qpoppper to the existing mbox files (and will be preserved when the mboxes are converted to maildir) it would be possible to do

Hello, With qpopper you get something like this after a successful login: --- +OK test has 6 visible messages (0 hidden) in 11822 octets. --- This gives a clueful user or support people a quick status about the size of this mailbox, very helpful in full quota scenarios. Would be nice if the next dovecot would have such a feature as well. I doubt the same is (easily) applicable for IMAP (though

Hi, I did some performance testing with dovecot and qpopper, if anyone is interested.. Hardware: Dual Xeon 2.8 with HT enabled (dmesg sees 4 cpu-s), 1 GB RAM, SCSI RAID 1 with 2x Maxtor Atlas 10K V disks. Software: CentOS 4.3, Qpopper 4.08 in standalone mode vs Dovecot 1.0-0_19.rc6, ext3 filesystem Mailbox format Mbox, tested Pop3 with PAM authentication My setup had 15 test users with 15

Hi, I am planning a migration from Qpopper 4.0.5 to Dovecot.. I need to use mbox format (because Openwebmail does not have native Maildir support yet) and pop3. The system will have about 1500 users, once migrating is complete. To avoid users downloading their mailboxes all over again, i need to set "pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes".. But that option works since Dovecot 1.0alpha1. RHEL

Heya, We are in the process of migrating from qpopper to dovecot as POP3 server (and IMAP as well) and we hit the UIDL issue with dovecot. Qpopper uses its own algorithm to create UIDL values and if you set it up to write them down in the mbox file as X-UIDL, then dovecot can use them (pop_uidl_reuse = yes). But if you don't use that feature from qpopper, than X-UIDLs are missing and there

I currently have a Centos server with Sendmail and Qpopper supporting about 50 mail users. I am planning to replace Qpopper with Dovecot to allow some users to have IMAP access to their mail (others will still use POP3.) Is there anything special to be aware of in setting up this migration? Thanks for your comments. Gerald

Hello, As this is my first post to the list, first and foremost I'd like to thank Timo for writing great software; we've successfully moved to Dovecot for over 10,000 users from UW-IMAP and get great performance. On our overloaded staff POP3/IMAP server, we are looking at replacing qpopper+uw-imapd with dovecot, as an interim before moving them to the main Unix mailstore. The system is

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from maildir to mdbox while preserving the pop3 UIDL (and the imap UID). The problem is, for maildir we use (for compatiblity with qpopper): pop3_uidl_format = %f Problem is, as soon as I convert that to mdbox, then whenever a client issues the UIDL command via a POP connection, the connection is closed and this error is displayed in the log: Error: UIDL: File

Hi List, what do you think is the best way to migrate (to a new maschine) round about 30000 mboxes (Qpopper) with an amount of 43Gigs data, to maildir format (Dovecot). I think there are two ways: 1. - stop services (smtp and pop3) on the old maschine - copy the mboxes to the new maschine - run a conversion script (for excample: "Perfect_maildir" http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/)

Hello all, I'm having some issues configuring dovecot 1.0.10 on a Solaris 10 box, that uses LDAP?for its accounts. The local accounts (in /etc/passwd) are authenticated properly and work as expected, but all accounts from the LDAP fail authentication. Those are declared for the system using PAM and NSS (/etc/pam.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are configured accordingly). Currently, there are

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a

Fellow users, This is just a heads-up to let the list know that I'm still unable to get ANY sort of pop3 or pop3s authentication to work with Dovecot. Just as a sanity check, I set up an entirely separate system, running FreeBSD 6.1 production, postfix 2.3, and Dovecot 1.0rc2, as a testbed. I got the exact same problem that I had with the NetBSD 3.0 production server, specifically that
