similar to: weird dovecot+outlook problem

Lots of people must have had this issue before me - users using different devices&software (pc, smartphone, tablet, thunderbird, outlook, webmail) and languages (e.g. English on the PC, German on the iPhone), some folders end of with different names - e.g. "Sent" and "Gesendete Elemente" - meaning the same thing, namely "sent mails". How do you map these to just

Hi, I need help setting up properly mail clients for my email accounts running on dovecot ver 2.2.18 on CentOS release 6.8 (Final) in italian. I posted a forum thread where you can get all detail info: this for better reading.

Hi, A friend's laptop just quit working under Windows XP, so I 1) booted a Knoppix Live CD 2) configured the thing for my LAN 3) scp'ed recursively Documents\ and\ Settings/, 4) wiped the hard disk clean and 5) installed CentOS 5.1. No dual-boot, no prisoners, just 100% GNU/Linux :oD I managed to find the contents of the Outlook Express Mailboxes in some obscure subdirectory.

What are people doing to affect the sort order of mailboxes in outlook? Apple Mail and MS Outlook similarly suck in that they do not sort '~' correctly -- mailboxes starting with '~' are first instead of last. At least I think this is the fault of the client, since Mulberry sorts correctly. At least with Apple Mail I can drag and drop mailboxes into any display order I like, so

Hello I have a user with 2500+ sub folders. Total mailboxes size is around 6G. (mdbox, dovecot 2:2.0.14) Syncing/Receiving appears to be slow, with outlook 2007. He does not want to switch to an alternative, due to various reasons. I did not find any error logs indicate issues. during idle, imap process appears to loop at adding inotify watches to all folders. I found outlook-idle in wiki,

Nothing to do with Dovecot, but I figured this is the best place to ask. Do any of the newer versions of Outlook have proper identities support like Thunderbird, mutt, Roundcube, i.e. every other mail client on Earth? We have customers who set up ten different mailboxes for one person because otherwise Outlook won't Do the Right Thing. Is there some way to make it behave like the others? *

Thanks for the reply MJ. Good to hear it works in MailDir format - might need to look at this. To date I have only had this issue with Outlook and for me personally on Fedora with Thunderbird, I tend to keep a heap of e-mail folders without sub-foldering and have my own little Linux 'utopia' of annually archiving folders etc using the Linux scripting environment, so I never have

Hi I have just upgraded a mail server from dovecot-0.99 to stable (dovecot-1.0.59). My normal desktop email client, kmail is working fine, but outlook keeps producing PLAIN authentication errors, and refusing to authenticate. From dovecot.log, I can see dovecot: Mar 13 10:57:30 Error: auth(default): sql(<xxxxxxxMy Detailsxxxxxxxxxxx>): Password query must return a field named

Hi All, please be kind, this is my first e-mail to the list :-) I actively support CentOS based e-mail servers running Dovecot, Sendmail, Spammassassin and 3 x SOGo based setups. Dovecot is my goto IMAP server and have used it and modifications to it to net excellent results for years. Then we have people who insist on only using Outlook (and in some instances the MS Live Messenger thingy).

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that

Hi I am having problems with users accessing their maildir mail stores through dovecot I am working on version 0.99.11-1 (on fedora core) It seems to be when the email size is large (450KB +) The errors are (the server disconnected unexpectedly) Have turned on the three Outlook and Outlook Express workarounds I found but no luck. Have read through logs and looked for clues but am just

I've got $SUBJ almost working except for the DOS bit where the CD needs to be read. My pxe config: label Firmware menu label Update IPMI firmware kernel memdisk append keeppxe raw iso initrd=<isofile> The ISO is about 400Mb, and works fine when I boot it from an actual CDROM drive. It also boots fine over PXE, I can see FreeDOS being booted up etc. The problem is - once

Hello, I saw the problem quite often in various posts but could not find a real solution . Problem is that I frequently get annoying popups from outlook 2007 about imap idle timeouts which block working with outlook until the popup is acknowledged. The popup says: Your IMAP server closed the connection. This can occur if you leave the connection idle for too long. Protocol: IMAP Server:

Hi I am using Dovecot 0.99.12.1 (just upgraded) on a site with about 1500 mailboxes. One thing I have noticed is when the client outlook express is receiving a large mail via pop3 it gets a time out. There is traffic. If you click on the "wait" button in the dialogue the mail continues to download. This seem to relate to the "Server Timeouts" setting under mail account

Dear List, I dont know if its a config problem or its an outlook 2007 issue. Behaviour: If I set /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: Following is valid with IMAP mailboxes only: disable_plaintext_auth = yes # outlook 2007 with TLS in/out enabled) can show index of mails and klick on mail does preview / doubleklick opens mail PERFECT AS INTENDED disable_plaintext_auth = no #

Hello, I'm looking for advices on IMAP config tuning for best user experience with Outlook 365. I'm currently using dovecot 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) provided with Debian 10. One of my users has Outlook 365 and an IMAP mailbox of large size with several folders (more than 3GB). From time to time as his main inbox folder is growing he can see some problems with its Outlook application.

Hello, everyone. We have recently begun migrating folks from an older server to a newer one, and things have been going quite well except for -- you guessed it -- Outlook 2010 users. Specifically it appears to be one customer in particular, and this particular customer has many nested mailboxes and lots of e-mail in general. Not sure if this is a factor. Old server: * Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS *

This is more an Outlook issue than Dovecot, but given that it is connected to Dovecot I figured there would be a good pool of knowledge here that increases the likelihood that somebody knows the answer :) I have a Dovecot server setup with a public folder and keep getting complaints that Outlook users don't see new folders created by other people. In Thunderbird it is simply a case of

I'm new to Dovecot. Using Dovecot IMAP with Postfix, everything works fine using Thunderbird. But with the same setup, no messages show in IMAP folders for user accounts created in Outlook, accessing exactly the same server as the accounts in Thunderbird. Dovecot version 2.3.7.1. Is there any configuration required that is special to support Office 365 Outlook clients? How to debug this?
