hi all 2 Questions : - how not using the authentication bind feature of ldap server ? i rewrite checkpassword-ldap recently to use in bincimap server, and it take 3 lines to do this, so i don't understand how you don't use it. it is more powerful and more secure than retrieve pasword from the base and use crypto api to compare it. - is the dovecot server support the IMAPdir feature like

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default

Hello all I am using Freebsd 4.10stable, postfix 2.1.5 with SASL and TLS, procmail version 3.22 and binc IMAP 1.2.8 binc uses IMAPdir style mail boxes, Spam assassin, and ClamAV. Wish to convert to dovecot but your program does not support IMAPdir does it??? also i have many user accounts that i wish to use untouched if possible. I guess this is a migration question for the most part i am

Hi all, I'm working to convert from a bincIMAP setup to a Dovecot setup. I've tried messing around with namespaces to make the conversion transparent, but I'm getting nowhere. Are namespaces necessary? Or can I proceed by recursively renaming the folders on the server? A transparent solution would be wonderful, but I can't get it to work for me.. Any help would be

I've been looking at moving an old IMAPdir-based solution to dovecot. I came across references that dovecot (to my pleasant surprise) added imapdir support in 1.1. However, in trying 2.0.13 (from an OpenBSD package) things start okay, but I see in the logs: "Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Unknown mail storage driver imapdir"

Hi, I'm in the process of migrating several years worth of mail to be accessible via an IMAP server. Some time ago, I evaluated both Binc IMAP and Dovecot and found Dovecot to be much faster on large folders, which is quite important to me. One thing I did not however manage to determine from the documentation on namespaces is whether or not it is possible to implement what Binc IMAP calls

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the

I am using rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on a Fedora 7 system to backup files to a network drive. rsync is getting I/O errors when copying maildir files (I'm not sure if the error is happening with other files but these are the only ones I have found so far). I have done some tests on one particular directory, "cp -R" succeeds but "rsync -r" fails:- home#

Hello, I've upgraded to the new LTS version of Ubuntu. With that comes a new dovecot version. I think I've migrated my dovecot configuration correctly to the new version. Everything works, except that the mailboxes don't show up in the list of mailboxes in my mail clients. Trying to issue a LIST command, I see the following: CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS

I am using dovecot and trying to make it compatible with my a BincIMAP installation. BincIMAP uses a scheme similar to Courier-IMAP, so I set up this default_mail_env: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir And this namespace: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Which mostly works as expected, but I now see an "INBOX" subfolder of "INBOX" in

Hello! I've tried to set up dovecot in conjuction with vpopmail, and running it under djb's tcpserver instead of (x)inetd. Btw - there was no reference to setting dovecot up using (x)inetd either in the manuals/faqs i read, though I didn't search all that hard. Anyway, back to my Q: vpopmail uses vchkpw as an authentication mechanism, and with tcpserver I can do relaycontrol (based

Hi list, hi Johannes, I'm trying to use the dovecot-dspam plugin ( http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-dspam-integration ) with vpopmail's virtual users. All seems well, except for the fact that dspam should be called with '--user currentuser at currentdomain.com' at line 157 here: http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-dspam-integration/beta7-code For my

hi, what do you tyhink about it? especially the faq comment about dovecot? http://www.bincimap.andreas.hanssen.name/ -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Hi there, After being extremely impressed from implementing it in some customer installations, I've decided to migrate our mail infrastructure to dovecot. Being able to have /bin/checkpassword support across the board for pop, imap, and smtp authentication, as well as being able to ditch stunnel for the SSL layer...where were you in 2001?!? :) I have two concerns, the first is about the

The next thing I noticed in my v1.2 -> 2.2 upgrade is that mail_location = maildir:[..]:LAYOUT=imapdir is broken, the symptom is dovecot returning this to the client when requesting any mailbox beyond INBOX: Character not allowed in mailbox name: ' Which is actually trying to say "Character not allowed in mailbox name: '\0'", but since the %c is not escaped it ends

This is a continuation of my previous problem where cp could copy files whereas rsync couldn't. It turns out that the problem is with files which have commas in their names, rsync can write the initial version of the file but it can't check/rewrite them. Here is the error I get from rsync when trying to overwrite the files (using --inplace) :- home# rsync -r --inplace .in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I've installed dovecot 0.99.14 (last port on my freebsd system), and now I've to migrate from bincimap. My system uses qmail with vpopmail (uid/gid 89) and Maildir format. Well, now the authentication is ok, but when I try to connect to mailbox I receive an error like "IMAP command SELECT failed". My dovecot.conf:

I have a really weird problem. To whit: I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both. The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . . And the

Hi, does anyone have at working Perl example of how to use the auth protocol with Perl (I'm planing on making a dovecot auth plugin for qpsmtpd but it would a lot easier to reuse somebody elses code :)) tia, -- Allan Joergensen - http://nowhere.dk/ "All right, so it's impossible.

(this is a resend, sorry if duplicate but my first post didn't get through). I was wondering what plans dovecot has for text and body search? This is one of those issues that *no* imap implementation ever seems to document :(. Not cyrus, courier, bincimap, or dovecot.... i speed-read some of the sources and found src/lib-mail/message-body-search.c After a quick scan, it seems: - it uses no
