hi: sometimes i can't use imap command to get mails, when this problem appear i find out the file dovecot-uidlist.lock appear at the same time . I don't know Why is this happening ? can you help me ? thanks !

Dear list, I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how

Hi, all. I upgrade to 1.1.6, but the same config didn't work now. Error message while start dovecot: ----<---- Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: userdb didn't return a home directory, but mail location used it (%h): /%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/:INDEX=/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/ Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf ----<---- Here is my dovecot.conf

All of the mailboxes on this system are in MailDIR format. None of the users delete mail off of the server after POPing their accounts. This is the present setting: expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict = proxy::expire Is that correct for MailDIR style mailboxes? It doesn't appear correct; however, I have not been able to find any specific documentation on expire with MailDIR style

I have been running Dovecot 1.2.5 since Sept 14. Beginning at about 03:28 on Sept 21 for no apparent (to me) reason and continuing through the present, I am seeing log messages like the following and am experiencing delays logging in.

Hi! I have problem with the pop3 service stops responding at random intervals on my server. We started to notice this problem as we're running icinga to check the imap & pop3 service. When icinga reports that the service is down. We try to telnet to the server on port 110 but it refuses the connection. I've checked the netstat during this time and it's listens on port 110. My

Hi, I'm wondering, whether it's possible, to define an ACL on the mailbox itself. We use Dovecot 1.2.15 (included in Debian 6) and maildir filesystem layout: /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/cur Inbox /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/tmp / /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/cur folder1

Hello all, I've been trying to setup my postfix and dovecot to AUTH with mysql, and I'm almost there! BUT, for some reason, dovecot won't create the folders in their proper location. For some reason, instead of going into /var/vmail/pplsnet.com/{username}location, where the postfix put all the emails, dovecot creates a whole new set of folders in /var/vmail/{username} I have

Isn't \* supposed to be (almost always) in flags after "SELECT" command in dovecot imap?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to configure dovecot to allow users to share their imap folders. I've followed the wiki and i'm near to accomplish my tasks, when i set ACL properly on folders using imap commands the other user can see the folder as shared, but i can't subscribe to it or even access its content using any email client (like thunderbird) couse it looks like the path to

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, occasionally Dovecot stops to accept new connections. Already existing ones do function properly. Strace'ing dovecot-auth reveals that it is running and is authentificating users, the logfile logs new connections. However, lots of other connects just stall, before the IMAP server responds with the greeting. My user backend is a LDAP

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex at scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu

Hi, My server uses a system comprised of postfix, dovecot and dspam to filter and deliver mail. Postfix used the following flags in calling spamc and dovecot: flags=DRhu user=dovecot:secmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} after an upgrade from Debian lenny to squeeze we were able to get everything working except spam filtering. Spamassassin is

Hi all, after inserting another sieve-rule, I get the following backtrace on deliver. The mail gets delivered into the Mailbox, but as deliver does not exit with 0, postfix bounces the mail. The additional rule is the same as all others in my .dovecot-sieve: > require ["fileinto", "include"]; > > if header :contains ["From"]

Having tried and failed to get 1.0.8 with quota-rewrite to send warnings, I removed the 1.0.8 and installed the latest 1.1 - however I still can't get the warnings! Can someone advise what might be wrong - it must be my configuration?? To compile 1.1 I used ./configure --with-deliver --with-mysql. I've chopped and changed my conf till I'm blue in the face. My dovecot-mysql.conf file

Hi, I want to use Sieve filtering with my Dovecot 1.2 installation on Debian squeeze. I have a virtual domain setup using Portgresql. ManageSieve works fine so far, I can edit and activate/deactive scripts (using Thunderbird + Plugin) and they show up in the filesystem where I expect them to be, see below. The problem is that LDA doesn't find the script. From /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log:
