(this is for dovecot 99.X and Xmail 1.X >= 1.17) (in dovecot 1.0 it'll able to auth against Xmail via a auth script. aka You'll only need to have 1 user account databases, XMAIL's YAY !!!) Steps: 1.

Hello all, I have a DL360 G4 1U server that does a wonderfull job with dovecot horde, Xmail and OpenLDAP for a company and serving about 40 acouunts. The machine is wonderful.

Hi, I have installed latest Dovecot 1.0.13 on a FreeBSD 6.2 with XMail (www.xmailserver.org). It works OK except one thing: error on startup. After each reboot there are lots of such error: dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:38 Error: child 916 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Mar 28 08:54:54 Error: imap-login: No authentication sockets found When I restart dovecot by running startup script

Hi All, I need to configure Dovecot with a XMail server ( www.xmailserver.org ) - this server uses a userdb file with the following format: "domain"[TAB]"account"[TAB]"encrypted-passwd"[TAB]"account-id"[TAB]"account-dir"[TAB]"account-type"[NEWLINE] How can authenticate Dovecot against this userdb file? Was anyone doing that?

Hello all, OK, I would really appreciate your help on this. I managed to do a pretty straight-forward and flawless migration on dovecot from one domain to another. However, I have this nagging problem with most of the thunderbird MTAs. When I try to delete some "test" messages I sent to make sure that everything works, it comes back with the following message on the bottom of the

Hello all, For some years now, I've been using Thunderbird for dovecot. I am not very satisfied with t/b so I thought of using m/s outlook but then I thought that I want to distance my clients from office products. I have a newly created dovecot installation on a very small site. Three nodes, all x86 Windows 7 professional with an ubuntu v14.04 server (x86 again) running dovecot 1.2.17.

Hello , Went to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, hunted down "ssl_listen =" which I had set it up to "ssl_listen = required" and commented it out. Tried "service dovecot start" and it started. The USD2,000,000 question being : what does this do (I know , I know, I cannot remember, I documented all this for v1.2.14) and will I need it in the future ? THank you people,

Hello all, I want to ask about something I never did before. I have a dovecot/XMail/LAMP/Horde installation on a CentOS 5.5 32-bit system with two domains : domainA and domainB All the users used to have their mailboxes on domainA. However the personell dept decided that 90% of the users will have to have their mailboxes set to domainB and the other 10% will stay at domainA. So, I need to

I am running dovecot 1.2.16 and not able to figure out an error that happens whenever I select the root of a virtual mailbox tree. At the moment I have a simple maildir store, accessed via IMAP, and have successfully added a virtual fs namespace with two subdirectories. I have created dovecot-virtual entries in the subdirs and they are working fine; they show the expected messages, etc. My

Hi.. are there any proofen Methods to backup all mail ? shutting down dovecot and tar the hole dir? using rsnapshot? any hints / thoughts im running dovecot2 on freebsd Hans

What, exactly, is the problem? How do you want Dovecot and XMail to work together? I am setting up Dovecot to read from standard Maildirs in user home directories, because I am using a separate delivery agent (TMDA but would work for maildrop, Dovecot's deliver program and others) to deliver mails using mailproc.tab. So, even while XMail runs as root, Dovecot need not and there is no

Hello again people, OK, could someone verify this ? One box, running linux CentOS. One instance of Dovecot running for Imap/Imaps only Another instance of a pop3/smtp server running to serve pop3/smtp . will this work ? Thank you kindly for your time, Spyros

Hi All, I use Dovecot and XMail on a QNAP TS-509 NAS. QNAP has combined the two into a package they call XDove. Everything seems to be working great except for one thing. When Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not removing it from XMail. It is leaving a copy on XMail. Is there an option I can set in Dovecot so it will delete the mail message from XMail when it retrieves it.

Hello, Finally managed to sync an outlook client to dovecot. Looks like it's working. Questions though ; : What are the limits? Number of Folders ? Number of mails per folder ? E.g. for a client of mine, I know that she uses about 5Gb of data at the moment (and counting). Now, this same outlook client consists of the following : 1. about thirty (30) folders ranging from 1000 messages per

Okay heres a weird question is there anyways to make dovecot run as root ? Heres why: I'm currently using XMail email server (smtp/pop3/virtual accounts). And I love using it. But it really must run as root. I've tryed all the non-root solutions for it. and really I'd prefer to have it run as root. And I'd like to really use dovecot as (on server with xmail). Currently I've
