But

I've been using Dovecot in some fresh installs lately and have found it fairly easy to configure. However I'm starting on a migration that involves moving from some very old software (ancient vpopmail, qmail and Courier). On the Courier front, I've reviewed the migration page in the wiki, and it looks like the main concerns are just matching the namespace and then using the migration

Dear friends, My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jun 18 16:38 . drwx------

Hi, I have a Mailserver setup with Qmail+Vpopmail+courier-imap with 2000 users.The authentication in vpopmail was in plaint text file based.Right now the issue is while opening a user email box with 50-100 mails it is opening fastly.Butfor email-boxes with attachments and increased number of mails it take long time to open the Imap connection. So I would like to change the Imaps to Dovecot.Please

Hello, I am running Dovecot 0.99 on OpenSuse 10.0. Previously, I was running courier IMAP with vpopmail on Suse 9.3. In the process of the change, I decided to sing MySQL to authenticate the users, provide home dir, uid and gid. I tar'ed up the old mail directories, moved them to the new server, added a new user and group to own the files, set the files uid/gid to match the values in the

I just upgraded a server from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot, and I'm seeing some odd behavior. It's probably the result of something I did wrong in my configuration, and I'm hoping someone will let me know the easy fix for it. I have rules set up in Apple Mail to move and copy messages to different folders, some of which are IMAP folders, others on my own system. With

My existing pop3/imap environment is courier imap + vpopmail + qmail with MySQL backend. I'm looking at migrating this to Dovecot. Currently I have multiple instances of Courier bound to different loopback IPs (the IPs correspond with the virtual IPs on a server load balancer). When a user authenticates they don't have to specify a domain - if they don't, Courier will use a

I've been trying for 24 hours now, to get an IMAP server which will autenticate off of vpopmail cdb database and the auth module always segfaults on login. I'm using vpopmail 5.5.0 only because it is the only version which seems to create a dynamically linked version of the library. I tried latest releases dovecot 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. Also latest mercurial pulls of 1.1 and 1.2. Even old

Hello, I run the domain for the school here with qmail and vpopmail on FreeBSD with dovecot from the ports. I'm running dovecot 1.0.r26 and everything is working great. I been noticing that dovecot isn't updating when the user last logged in.. and I can't seem to figure out why. I also can't seem to find anything in the archives about it.. so am I the only one? name:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I currently use courier imapd, exim and ldap on my mail box. There are no users on this box, all info is taken from the ldap server. I note that dovecot does not use ldap as a backend, but curious if this in on the cards, or even mysql backend. Sean - -- Sean Rima http://www.tcob1.net Linux User:

I've been running postfix/courier-ssl/MySQL/postfixadmin for years, but since I am in the process of building a new server I decide to reexamine my options. I'm sticking with postfix, but I've decided to move from courier to dovecot because everyone is telling me it's much faster, and I really dislike courier's SASL setup and integration with other services. Of course, I have

hello, Sorry to jump straight in with a question, but I've searched the archive[0] and I'm pretty sure the answer's not there. I'm using dovecot to replace courier imap, so authentication is by vpopmail and the Maildirs are stored in the usual domains/domain/user/ Maildir. Everything seems to work very well, and setting it up has been easy, so thank you very much for that.

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

Hello, We recently moved from courier to dovecot, and I'm seeing a handful of errors that prevent people from retrieving email. Below is a snippet of the log sequence I see when this happens: Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx at bway.net): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (1759 < 1830) Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx at bway.net): Error: Maildir filename has

Hello, I was wondering if I could post in the Howto section how one can make use of the vpopmail virtual mail system on Centos 4 and integrate it into other parts of Centos 4 along with some helper tools. Of course if the information is accepted but in a different section that is fine. Wiki name = Feizhou

Hi guys, I upgraded from rc7 to rc24 a couple weeks ago, and noticed today that Pegasus Mail's IMAP no longer connects. So I put rc27 in, and it worked, but only for a little while... I'm not sure what the problem might be, the logs look fine, and I can still use Horde and Evolution without a problem. Pegasus Mail's error is unfortunately not helpful. Restarting rc27 didn't

Hi guys! I recently switched to Dovecot from Courier with qmail+vpopmail backend. I'm really happy with the switch as all use-cases are more stable and much much faster than before. And the build process is much better as with Courier :) Just wanted to express my appreciation! BR Christoph

Hello, We currently use qmail with vpopmail for e-mail and are looking to switch from courier-imap to dovecot for IMAP on our RedHat EL 5 systems. Our goal is to use the dovecot RPM supplied by RH (v1.0.7) if at all possible. We can do this if we are able to dynamically load the vpopmail auth module. The wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/CompilingSource) notes that this should be possible:

I'm running 1.0.13 If I run dovecot for a while, I see a /var/run/dotvecot folder created with the following: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-18 13:30 dotvecot drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-18 13:47 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 2008-05-18 13:47 .. srw------- 1 root root 0 2008-05-18 13:47 auth-worker.15138 srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0

I am working on updating the Shupp toaster, http://shupp.org/toaster/ a set of files and instructions for installing qmail, vpopmail, qmailadmin and squirrelmail. Two of my most important goals are switching the imap program from courier to Dovecot, and closer integration with OpenSuSE. (Which I run my mail servers on.) To follow the style of the toaster I need a place where I can obtain the
