Good afternoon, I am considering to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.18 to 1.2.x and was reading your Wiki regarding any changes and found: "If you were using e.g. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%h, just change it to mail_location = maildir:%h and add /var/mail/ prefix to home dirs." I am currently using: "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir" in combination with vpopmail. Does

Good morning, Still not having luck to get the LDA to work, using Qmail + Vpopmail and read the wiki. I'm using: auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb vpopmail { } userdb vpopmail { } user = vpopmail count = 1 ssl_require_client_cert = no } Which work well for authenticating users, however when using the following in a .qmail file: |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f

Hi all, I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot 1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem. Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a 2nd time. I

Hello folks, This morning I tried to open an old archive mail folder using Mutt. However, while fetching headers it aborted. Checking the dovecot log gave me this: @400000004fb21996267d37d4 imap(benv): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (9115 < 9420) @400000004fb21996267e8bac imap(benv): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from

Good morning all, I have a question. Due to my interest in the Sieve plug-in. I'm considering to change the LDA on my production servers from 'vdelivermail' from vpopmail to 'deliver' from Dovecot. However I'm not sure how to go about doing this or whether there are any conversion issues that I should be aware of. Currently my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is set to

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.1.1 with vpopmail 5.4.30 with multiples domains and I have problems setting up synchronization in between multiple computers. All act like master (my clients can connect to any of the them and read their emails either via POP3 either via IMAP, inbound email gets on any of the machines). Each machine is on a different continent, there is no shared drive in between

Hello, I'm setting up a test server to work through the issues involved in bringing a bunch of vpopmail/qmail/courier users into a postfix/dovecot server. So far I'm seeing lots of info to aid in the transition. One thing I'm lost on is that since Dovecot is providing all the auth mechanisms rather than vpopmail, I'm not sure how to emulate a particular vpopmail behavior we

Hi, I built a mail server with qmail + vpopmail + dovecot , the qmail and vpopmail worked well, until the dovecot was installed. Client always get empty email, I have try some solutions from google, neither of then can solve the problem.

Hi all, I am having a problem with a small Delphi address database application. When attempting to display the address details from one of a list of addresses, an empty text area is displayed instead of a text area containing address details. Screenshots of the app in windows and wine can be found here: http://www.blub.net/~wouter/wine/windows.png http://www.blub.net/~wouter/wine/wine.png The

Hello Dovecot users, The rc1 release showed a few problems with the up-to-date checking of on-disk binary files. The binary files contain some metadata about the script these were compiled from. If this doesn't match the current script anymore, the script is recompiled. One of these metadata items is the script location. However, this location wasn't normalized, so when the binary would

Hello, I've got a crash with -test27 on a FETCH, just after logging in. Attached are the mailbox (1 message only), logs, sniffed session, testcase and core dump backtrace. If the dovecot.conf is needed, just ask (it's pretty much the default configuration). Maybe this has just been fixed in -test28, in which case you can just delete this email. :) Btw, it's rather irrelevant, but

Hello, We recently moved from courier to dovecot, and I'm seeing a handful of errors that prevent people from retrieving email.

Hi, I'm looking for a function which divides a vector into n classes and returns the breaks as well as the number of values in each class. This is actually what hist(vector, breaks=n) does, but in hist() n is a suggestion only, and is a suggestion only and cannot be enforced (as far as I know...) It is not so difficult to do it yourself, but a ready made function would be nice...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to plot different data series on one graph. I have a series of hourly rainfall and quarterly flow measurements (i.e. 4 times an hour) of a catchment. The rainfall should be plotted in bars, the flow as a line. Both on the same X axe (time) but with different Y axes. The problem is the plot() function does not support add=TRUE... Furthermore I'm not sure
