similar to: 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

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

Hi all, I'm still using beta8 (on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE). Recently I put a co-worker who's using Thunderbird (1.5.0.4) on it and he seemed to have lost some messages (which were delivered on the spool since seen on procmail logfile). I switched him on another server to play safe and tried to test it myself but failed to reproduce the issue. I myself use mutt on a daily basis with no

Hello Timo, I switched this morning from dovecot-1.2.12 to 2.0.8 with a basic setup (high performance login mode, Maildir, everyhing on NFS, one shared but unused namespace). No problem so far except that some Thunderbird users who wouldn't succeed in moving messages from some one folder to another. They'd get a message about some illegal character in the mailboxname (already existing

Hello Timo, In my trials to setup a shared namespace with dovecot-1.1.8/LDAP passdb/userdb (prefetch)/Maildir, I found out that : 1) ACL are mandatory (at least if the acl plugin is triggered in dovecot.conf) Am I correct ? I'm still not sure if we can do without ACL at all (only with unix permissions and system_user userdb extra field). 2) the system_user userdb extra field is

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 and I'm about to play with namespaces and shared mailboxes. I've read on the list that the Kolab people did contribute to that, and I read at http://dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-1.2 "+ Full support for shared mailboxes and IMAP ACL extension." I'd like to know the differences between shared mailboxes support between 1.1. and 1.2

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 first/ (non

Hello Timo, I'm trying to set up shared mailboxes with dovecot-1.2.11/Maildir. I previsouly used public namespaces with 1.1+ to somehow implement them but I'm looking at the real ones now. I've read the Wiki but I'm still confused or not 100% sure about the following (basic) points : 1. Namespaces prefixes My understanding is that a namespace prefix is just an escape mechanism

Hello all, Does anyone has a workaround for the fact that thunderbird, when used in IMAP with the mbox format, doesn't let the user delete mailboxes : As a matter of fact, only messages can be deleted, since TB tries to move what it wants to delete into the "Trash" box, which would of course mean a sub-box of an mbox mailbox ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel

Hello Timo, I'm trying to get a clear understanding of dovecot's (1.2.x) flags and keywords sharing possibilities or impossibilities in a shared-mailboxes setup. By definition, a shared mailbox is a mailbox from a personal namespace which has been made available to someone else who sees it in a shared namespace. There can be some combinatorics according to the fact that INDEX and

Hello Timo, I've got some questions about dovecot-auth processes which I cannot answer just by reading the doc : [ Note : my problem is that I often see dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused and I'm looking for a way to tweak dovecot.conf parameters to allow more login <-> auth connections ] - I'm not sure I get the auth

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 . mailboxes are on an NFS NetApp server, attribute caching is off .

Hello Timo, I'm trying to configure dovecot-2.1.15 master correctly regarding imap-login limits. I want to use service_count=0 and I'm starting with something like this : #default_process_limit = 100 #default_client_limit = 1000 service imap-login { [...] service_count = 0 process_min_avail = 8 vsz_limit = 1024M } -> Does it make sense to set a process_limit if

Hello Timo, I'm using dovecot-2.1.15 with Maildir mailboxes located on an NFS filer. Postfix is used to deliver mail through procmail ("mailbox_command) as LDA. Our team has bought another filer and everything is meant to go on it, so we're planning to migrate those mailboxes to the new filer. To test it only on a subset of users, I ended up to the following solution : 1. keep

Hello Timo, I just tried the master user feature with a very simple setup (Dovecot v2.2.15) : !include auth-master.conf.ext -> passwd-file passdb !include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap passdb (userdb prefetched) without auth_bind=yes without pass=yes I get this userdb lookup error : dovecot: auth: passwd-file(masteruser,157.99.64.42,master,<4Pgesh0OygCdY0Aq>): Master user logging in

Hello Timo, your patch introducing pass_attr_names and user_attr_names fixed the problem of the 'shared' attr_names member of [passdb|userdb]_ldap_conn as I answered in the relative thread. Now I think there is a problem while comparing user-provided and ldap-provided passwords causing a false 'password mismatch' situation, while using PLAIN mechanism with LDAP authentication.

Hello Timo, I just switched from dovecot-1.0.14 to dovecot-1.1.2 and noticed a significant drop in the server load average (which has become lower and above all doesn't seem to have unexplained peaks). Indexes are still locally stored and nfs attribute caching is still off). I searched the list archives for an explanation of what changed in the code that could explain such an improvement but

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.
