similar to: debugging mail_location issues

Hi, Ok I know that the Maildir hierarchical structure works because I saw it intermittantly in my setup. At times I could look at ALL folders in my client. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs http://wiki1.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir this says 1.1 only? My maildir folder has a collection of maildir folders ie each has cur new tmp folders. As an experiment I took the cur new tmp out

Hi Where does this utility reside for installation. I use Ubuntu and installed dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d so far. Does it now ship in the regular dovecot installation packages? Thanks. -Walt

I noticed in Cyrus they seem to address maildir++ recognised by IMAP. I need to know does Dovecot recognise this format? Procmail has an ability to deliver mails to different folders which if unrecognised renders the whole process useless. Does Dovecot have a similar deliver method? Thanks. -Walt

Is there some kind of extended debug that might show why my maildir is not foundat login? It has worked off and on, once briefly today then no more. I'm going around twiddling knobs guessing at this point which is foolish. I need some real bread crumbs to indicate what is going wrong. I've tried all kinds of .conf file ... example file etc. I figured using the least number of settings

Dovecot 1.2.12 maildir format using :LAYOUT=fs (my Mail dir came from KDE) I can't remember the permissions of the /Mail/ directory because I haven't been concerned with it too much until now. I think they were user:user or user:mail. Now a new mail ends up 600 root:mail. (in alternate directories) When I start my mutt client to the imap server it gets an error for any folder

I am curious why these do not seem to match? It especially bothers me that the modes set are different. Am I missing something? Thanks. -Walt

To elaborate, if there is a database associated with this setup it is really fubar. note: tail of dovecot -n lda: postmaster_address: postmaster mail_plugins: sieve quota_full_tempfail: yes deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver:

Hi list, I have home made program, which uses File Alteration Monitor library to watch samba log files for new file creation in samba share directory. This technique works fine when I use GNU/Linux machine as client and it fails when I use Windows machine as client. The cause of failure is, samba server creates different pattern of logs and sometimes it does not create log entries on new file

I am trying to create a messaging system for my users but I''m having a hard time designing my db. This is what i have in mind, but I am not sure if its the best approach. user has_one inbox user has_one outbox inbox has_many messages outbox has_many messages inbox table user_id outbox table user_id messages table box_id (refers to either inbox or outbox - how?) from_id to_id

Dear my friends.... I use OpenSuSE 11.1, KMail and DoveCot version: " sussy:/etc/ssl/certs # dovecot --version 1.1.7 ". This is the configuration of my DoveCot: " sussy:/etc/ssl/certs # dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27.29-0.1-default i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3

Hi folks, I use isync, an IMAP sync tool (Debian package isync 0.9.2-2) together with dovecot (dovecot-imapd 0.99.10.8-0.backports.org.1). Everytime when isync wants to upload a new mail from the client to the server I got messages like this: Mailbox outbox Selecting IMAP mailbox... >>> 16 SELECT "outbox" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS

There's an upper limit to how many IMAP/POP3 connections can exist that haven't logged in (and separate limits for post-login). Normally when this limit is reached, the oldest connection gets disconnected. There is of course some potential to try to DoS Dovecot by doing a lot of IMAP/POP3 connections, but because the oldest connection always gets destroyed this requires quite a lot of

Hey all, After some kind soul made me understand what I can expect from Dovecot, I feel really embarassed for not being able to set it up correctly. What I already had was ~/Mail, containing about six maildirs. Exim got mail, delivered it to procmail, and procmail dropped it in my inbox; a needless extra step that I keep for future, ehm, needs that I might start to care about when I can just

Why is dovecot using Maildir and not IMAP. Or is it using even using Maildir at all? Currently I'm using mailman, postfix and dovecot to manage a mailing list. Mail is sent to thufir at dur.bounceme.net which the "mail server delivery agent stack provided by Ubuntu server team" of dovecot-postfix handles fine, keeping it locally, so far as it goes. The mail ends up in

Hi, I'm implementing a shell-script (pseudo) solution to the missing IMAP Outbox feature in Dovecot (Courier IMAP feature http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend) In order to remove the message from the Outbox once it is sent I have a question: What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox (from an "external" server side program - such as a shell

Hello again, I have an installation with dovecot and I am accessing it through linux mint and thunderbird v3.0.10 As thunderbird "subscribes" to dovecot, it does the following : Inbox Trash MyName at Mydomain.gr Local Folders Local Folders MyName at Mydomain.gr subfolder A Subfolder B Subfolder C Subfolder D Subfolder E Local Folders Outbox OK, I have to admit a have

Is there a way to limit the amount of maildir folders a user can have? Also is there is hard limit on the amount of folders dovecot can handle? I have a user who has over 3000 folder (including subfolders) that is having issues with delays in loading, moving, and deleting messages. Thanks in advance Jeff N.

My ISP currently runs version 1.2 and I'm looking to make use of UIDPLUS because I want to append and then move the message I've just appended to another folder so then I need the UID in order to address the new message. My ISP says they have plans to upgrade to version 1.4 soon. Do either of these versions support UIDPLUS? ie. give me the new UID as the response to an append?

Hi, ppls There is some problem with using passwd-like file and plaintext passwords within it. Let's assume we have users speaking russian. They think and remember their passwords also within russian words (they just not change keyboard layout before entering their passwords). So if the user has password like ":jgf" (meaning "ass" in russian) and passwords are stored
