Hi Timo, looks like virtual plugin is broken now with my setup dovecot 2.0.6 cant say to which version it stopped working ( didnt tested it trough all ) but has worked i see nothing special in log why it stopped working it should show unseen mail i.e in folder Junk too with pop3 clients, but only shows new inbox mails after all i am confused what using better pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv (

Hi Timo the virtual setup got broke after update to 2.1 ( its still working under 2.0 ) on other loadbalanced server namespace default { separator = / prefix = "" list = yes subscriptions = yes hidden = no } namespace virtual { prefix = "virtual/" separator = / location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/virtual hidden = yes list = no

Hi, Curious if anyone has any good suggestions to handle this. I try to get my hosting users to use IMAP but most use Outhouse and the IMAP support is somewhat annoying for many so I typically have them change their settings when using POP to leave copies on the server. That way when they get the inevitable virus or wanna use webmail they have a backup copy and webmail sees their saved mail.

Hi Timo, all of my tests fail with expire plugin, mail simply not get deleted i cant find any stuff in the logs why it does not or should not work. My guess that there is a problem with virtual plugin and/or shared namespace. It shouldnt be a problem with acl starting the script over cron as root am i right ? do you have any idea why it fails, is there a way to ignore all unneeded shared or

Hi, I'm having trouble implementing the virtual pop3 inbox solution in Dovecot 1.2.x. As the following wiki page describes (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual) one should only set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace which then flattens all mailboxes in the realmails/ prefix. In the above example when I set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace, the inbox in the

Hi All I am experiencing a mail download problem with dovecot's pop3 protocol. We use outlook XP 2002 mail clients and I have setup a mail system with pop accounts on a Fedora 2 installation using dovecot. Some of the clients download email fine but others do not download email and also do not give any error messages. I have enabled the "verbose" options in the

Hi, I've tried to do configure Virtual POP3 INBOX (dovecot version 2.2.18) as explained here http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual with a static userdb and nopassword=y so I dont have any database on the dovecot server without the possibility to distinguish POP3 or IMAP in the userdb extra field to change the namespace on the fly. So I've put the namespace virtual informations inside

Hi all I am missing something on the the pop3 "leave messages" rationale. Although the UIDL feature solves for the MUA the problem "whch mails should be downloaded", how the duration that these mails should be kept on server, say 10 days for one MUA and 20 days for another MUA for the same account, is resolved on the server? thanks in advance -- ????????? ???????????

Hi Timo, using latest dovecot 1.2 and latest thunderbird i noticed if using virtual plugin like here with mysql http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual everthing works like expected until i add a shared namespace Tb then looses its subscriptions under imap to the private namespace only the shared namespace gets shown up , any idea? I dont see something special in the logs why this happens --

Hello, After the migration to Dovecot 2.2.13 from Dovecot 2.1.17, I noticed a changed behavior when I move a message from one folder to another. I use Thunderbird with: Account Settings -> Server Settings -> When I delete a message: Just mark it as deleted. I use Thunderbird 24.6.0 with IMAP. With Dovecot 2.1.x when I move a message, the message appears in the new folder and is marked

Hello list, im am trying to migrate customer mails via dsync from an old dovecot 1.1 setup to an new installed dovecot 2.2.25 setup with mdbox. Upgrading the old dovecot 1.1 to 2.2 with Maildir isnt an problem and the replication to the new setup works well too. The only problem now is, that the POP3 UIDL are completely wrong on the target setup. Im using for Maildir pop3_uidl_format = %f With

GMail doesn't delete mails when POP3 client issues a DELE command for it. Instead they just become invisible for future POP3 sessions, but they still exist for IMAP/webmail. The same could be implemented pretty easily for Dovecot: - Add a new setting to enable this: pop3_deleted_flag = $POP3Deleted - When DELEting a message, add this flag to the message. - When listing messages, skip all

We're using keywords within Thunderbird, and we're syncing those using IMAP. When using more than 5 keywords, we're envcountering problems - they're only partially being synced (between two clients, but not all clients). Any idea why this could be happening? The introduction of tagging in Thunderbird is described here: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114656>
