similar to: Getting rid of the subscription file

Sorry for top posting, my client is still broken. I have never seen the ghost of a "system-alerts" or similar "well-known" mail folder in the past 30 years. Compliance with an RFC obscure feature is compellong us all to clear subscriptions fol ders by hand. As we meet the problem over and over again, a non-RFC configuration option could solve the problem, and it would be

I understand that reading that paragraph makes it sounds obscure and outdated. But the problem is that if something deletes & recreates your folder, while you were gone, you would lose the subscription. This includes other MUAs that are in no way obligated to resubscribe to the folder if they do this. Aki On 23.05.2018 23:13, Rupert Gallagher wrote: > Sorry for top posting, my client is

That's rather difficult semantic question.

Hi, I am using dovecot and dovecot-sieve packages from Debian Wheezy (2.1.7-7+deb7u1). I noticed that while using ":create" (from the mailbox extension) in my Sieve filter and "lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config it automatically subscribes to the destination mailbox even if that mailbox already existed. Reading Dovecot's documentation and the

Unfortunately this is not a BUG, but mandated behavior by RFC3501, see last two paragraphs in the excerpt. Aki Tuomi 6.3.6.? SUBSCRIBE Command ?? Arguments:? mailbox ?? Responses:? no specific responses for this command ?? Result:????

I'd rather not add RFC-breaking settings. But there's IMAP4rev2 discussion going on in https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/extra <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/extra>. Someone motivated enough could perhaps try to suggest changing this behavior in there. > On 23 May 2018, at 23.13, Rupert Gallagher <ruga at protonmail.com> wrote: > > Sorry for top posting,

I finally got my aging FC2 box retired and moved all email to my new CentOS 5 box. My site is all-IMAP, no POP3. I have one user who downloads all email to Thunderbird on his laptop so that he can work offline while away from a network connection (eg. on an airplane). I forgot to change the pop3_uidl_format setting as described here: <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0> So he was

Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that.

Hi all, The guidance provided so far has been really helpful, and has helped a great deal to bringing down wasted energy on finding and executing a viable path. I am now at the final due action to complete our Dovecot application to our use-case, but am stuck on an issue that I cannot find any easily accessible documentation on. Generally this is what has been done: 1. Uploaded the enterprise

Hi All, I'm a newbie trying to move mail out of my ISP onto a ubuntu (lucid) dovecot 1.2.9 server. Is there any way to automatically add folders created by sieve (GNU Mailutils 2.1) to the subscriptions file for a user? I'm currently testing spam, and if sieve created the folder with the first message, the thunderbird user does not see the new folder. Even more interesting, if the user

I have a strange behavior on a customer's server and I don't understand that: User "bar" has some folders and one shared folder from "foo" if I use the "LIST"-command, which should list AFAIK *all* folders: # telnet localhost 143 a login bar xxxx a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES

Here's some thoughts I'd like to throw out there. I know it's not standard IMAP protocol but someone has to try new ideas first and I want to see what people (Timo) think of this. IMAP establishes a connection between the client and the server. Wouldn't it be great if it could be a conduit to let custom Thunderbird plugins talk to custom server application over the IMAP

Hi, I'm looking for some advice to do a really advanced trick with Dovecot. I'm not sure if this can be done. I need to describe first. I have a spam filtering company that does front end spam filtering. (Junk Email Filter) I want to add a system where I store a copy of spam on a server and make it available to the customer to review and maybe resent on false positives. I know I

Hi everyone, I have a question concerning UIDs. How persistant are they? I am thinking about building some form of webmail specialized for some specific business purpose and I am thinking of building a sort of cache in a DB by storing the email addr, date, subject and UID for quick lookups and search of correspondance. I am doing this because I am having issue with multiple people searching

Hello I need to have a information popup will be send when my thunderbird's users connect to our server. Is there a function in Dovecot to do so ? Thank you
