Hi all, attached is a patch against 0.99.10.4 that fixes the STAT, LIST and UIDL POP3 command output in the case that they're issued after one or more messages have been deleted. Examples of incorrect behavior (bad spots marked with '***') C: STAT S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST S: +OK 2 messages: S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 1 1076749908.12

Hi, it looks like there is a bug (in dovecot or in my config) with quota on maildir mailboxes when accessed via POP3. The maildirsize is not created when not already present (even after a DELE + QUIT command). The quota limit (the first line of maildirsize) is not updated if values are not in sync with those in the database. If maildirsize is present, DELE commands are correctly reported in

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 have done some benchmarking tests using dovecot 2.0.12 to find the best shared filesystem for hosting many users, here I share with you the results, notice the bad perfomance of all the shared filesystems against the local storage. Is there any specific optimization/tunning on dovecot for use GFS2 on rhel6??, we have configured the director to make the user mailbox persistent in a node, we will

I thought I'd try benchmarking with dbmail (v2.2.4) to see how much slower a SQL backend could actually be. Skip to bottom for the conclusions. Originally I ran the tests with the databases being in XFS filesystem. MySQL's performance was horrible. It went 3-7x faster with ext3. MySQL 5.0.30 backend (innodb): ./imaptest clients=1 - append=100 seed=1 secs=30 msgs=1000000 logout=0

Hi, When I enable (and it only happens when it is actually running) replication over TCP my users get duplicate mails via pop3. Here?s what happens: * User gets mail * Mail appears in (Maildir) new/ folder on both replicas * user retrieves mail (retr), calls dele. Mail still exists in new/ folder on both replicas. * user runs retr (and gets the duplicate) and dele a second time, the mail is

I wasted too much time today doing this, but they do show a few interesting things: 1) mmap_disable=yes is faster than mmap_disable=no. I didn't expect this. I'm not yet sure why this is, but possibly because then it updates the mail index by reading the changes from dovecot.index.log, instead of reopening and re-mmaping dovecot.index. At least that's the biggest difference between

I'd like to use Dovecot as our IMAP server when our users are within our LAN, but I'd also like to give them the ability to access their emails via POP3 when they are outside the LAN. I know most POP3 clients will give their users the option of not deleting the messages from the server after they are downloaded, but is there any way to restrict them from being able to do so at the server

Some new features in CVS HEAD are: - v1.0 saves most of the data to dovecot.index.cache only when the client is FETCHing the messages. With mboxes the message headers are saved while parsing the mbox, which is almost the same thing. With CVS HEAD the dovecot.index.cache file is updated already when the new messages are being saved (with deliver or IMAP APPEND). This avoids reading the message

v1.1 plans have changed a bit. I'll release v1.1.alpha1 soon and hope to have a stable v1.1 in a month or two. The rest of the features that didn't make it into v1.1 will go to v1.2. I'll write more about this when v1.1 alpha is released. I also did a bit of benchmarking. v1.1's performance improvements are looking pretty great, it seems to be twice as fast as v1.0. v1.0:

Hi, The measurements were created under the following conditions : ? operating system : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago) kernel in version 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 ? virtual server (VMware) with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) 4vCPU E5649 x 2,526 GHz (2 cores per virtual socket) and 4 GB RAM ? 7,200 RPM SATA 1TB (FC SAN IBM System Storage N3400) ? all file systems had been formated in

Hi folks I'm new to Dovecot. I'm wonderng if it's a way that dovecot delete a message just after the DELE POP3 command and not just mark the message for deletion and wait until the QUIT command is received. The main reason is for slow and unstable links fetching mail this is madness. Any suggestions? David

Greetings - I've now got as far as playing with the imaptest10 test utility to see if I can stress-test our development server. imaptest10 is built against dovecot-1.0rc28 It may just be that I'm excessively heavy handed, but when I let imaptest10 rip with the command... ./imaptest10 user=test%03d host=testserver.imap.york.ac.uk clients=50 mbox=./dovecot.mbox msgs=1000 secs=30

I've read about one month back this list's messages. I've still 216 messages from this year marked as "unread" which I should look into more (+258 older ones). Also I've 180 "unread" messages in my INBOX also which might contain something useful. So those messages could still contain something that should be added to this list. Anyway looking at my current

Hi, Seasons greetings! :) May I know if it's possible to log the commands issued by clients in dovecot? For instance, RETR and DELE commands in POP3 and their equivalent in IMAP? I can't seem to be able to find the appropriate configuration key. Thanking in advance. Cheers. Tan Shao Yi

I cleaned up the lib-storage code a bit so that it's easier to write support for new mailbox formats. It could still use a bit of cleaning up. Anyway, I thought I'd try how easy it would be to implement Cyrus-like mail store which would consist of only Dovecot's index files and "<uid>." message files. Flags and everything else is kept only in Dovecot's index files

Hello everybody. When a user or group account is deleted, the user or group account is moved to CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=com I can find them with the command: ldbsearch -H ldap://localhost --show-deleted "cn=*DEL:*" -U administrator Password for [DOMAIN\administrator]: # record 1 dn: CN=user1\0ADEL:f53b71f8-a3e8-4997-bd84-5504235d3b31,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=com

Hello, I'm getting the following error while Mozilla Mail is downloading >4000 emails: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving message. Mail server xxx responded: Message is deleted. So what's the error? Can't I retrieve a message, that has been marked as deleted before? If the Mesage-ID wouldn't exist, the error message would be different. I don't know

Hello, any plans to support this in the future? Seems the inability to use LAST breaks that Yahoo remote mailbox slurper thing, not that I care too much about that, but some mail clients might miss it as well. ;) Regards, Christian Balzer -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer NOC chibi at gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Fusion Network Services http://www.gol.com/

Hello, I've recently saw a discussion on this list, about a standardised way of emptying POP3 mailboxes on the server - but no solution came up. Please provide a suggestion for the following situation: - I am running a stock POP3 dovecot server, on Fedora 12 (dovecot version 1.2.9) - passwd-file authentication via /etc/imap.passwd - users are virtual, sharing the same UID/GID; -
