Hello, I have a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and all packages are from the Ubuntu repos. dovecot version 1.2.9 My goal is to have a basic email server setup with imap and pop support so imap users can send and receive email for the company.

I recently am attempting a mbox to Maildir conversion, initially for a single email address, and then for everyone. To further this diagnostic here is the dovecot -n: dovecot -n # 1.1.4: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login

I followed the information from the wiki here is my dovecot.conf file and yet I can't get pop3 working. I need this to listen on pop3 for an internal process but get email from smtp sources. So I would like to have sendmail receive email from the world to a specific email address then check the mailbox via a POP3 internal process. Any help would be great. [root at CRM-ILM-CC-A etc]#

I'm having the most frustrating issue, and I'm at a loss for what is happening. I'm not even sure it is with Dovecot, but that's why I'm posting this here... if it isn't a dovecot issue, maybe someone can get me headed in the right direction? I've posted relevant dovecot and config info at the bottom of this post. Here's the scenario: We recently migrated our

Hi Here is my environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga) postfix-2.9.1-1.rhel5 dovecot 1.0.7 I want to config a complete postfix-dovecot mail server. First I configured postfix to use procmail, its default LDA and dovecot for pop3 and imap. I didn't changed main.cf a lot, just myhostname and a few other properties. I didn't set home_mailbox.

I'm running Dovecot IMAP and POP3 on Debian. But it look's like it's keeping mail in the user's inbox on the server until it's deleted by the user. I thought POP servers deleted email as soon as it was downloaded, but apparently not, according to dovecot.org. Is there something in the Dovecot conf I can do to get rid of all this redundant crud? I see several conversations on

Hi dear All, Currently I'm configuring Dovecot+PostfixAdmin+PostgreSQL on FreeBSD 7 Stable and using Dovecot v1.1.3. I hope I've configured everything. But when I run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot start then dovecot doesn't seems to running. /var/log/maillog is only showing following.

hi list I upgraded to 1.1.3, and have my logs turned off for some time, but turned it back on when someone complained about moving emails. I saw this in the logs. Seems strange.

I'm trying to configure dovecot on a SUSE system, and having trouble with the simplest possible authentication scheme: using the standard Linux users and passwords. My configuration is: dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27.45-0.1-pae i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) protocols: imap pop3 ssl_listen: * ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir:

While using 1.1.13 and squat with local pine imap on Solaris 9 I had a random core dump today. I was doing a search in a maildir folder with about 2000 emails. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I wanted to send along the info anyways.

Hi, We're having some really weird auth problems trying to setup a very basic dovecot imap server. Even stranger is that we don't see any of the debug information in the logs even though we've set all the debug options to true. Can anybody provide some suggestions. Thanks, -Noah

Hi, We are using dovecot version 1.0.3. We have dovecot-ldap configured to authenticate users using ldap database. We are facing the inactivity problem with dovecot. After some hrs of successful working, dovecot logs shows the connection inactive problem with pop3 & imap server, & it starts rejecting the connection requests from clients.

Hi, I'm a new user of Dovecot. I have installed it in a server in combination of Postfix. I have created a system user and given him a password, this is a final user. when I try to add the account in my mail client (outlook), I get the window of authentication asking for password, even if I enter the correct password, this window does not disappear. below my configuration. dovecot --version:

We had an issue today with IMAP clients (Thunderbird, Outlook) having to redownload headers for folders. This issue was eerily close to a MySQL database structure change that shouldn't have affected any related queries, however we did notice an event of user CPU % not being reported via SNMP around the same time for the server.
