similar to: Idea: POP3 deletion as a flag

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

It turns out that if I enable this option: pop3_deleted_flag = "$POP3Deleted? The issue no longer persists. I have to manually expunge the kept mails that have been deleted via pop3 though: doveadm expunge mailbox INBOX KEYWORD '$POP3Deleted' -A Wolfgang > On 21 Jun 2015, at 21:05, Wolfgang Hennerbichler <wogri at wogri.com> wrote: > > FWIW I just tried the sdbox

Using outlook 2010 as mail client, I have noticed that once an email is moved from inbox, it is deleted from the cur/ directory on the server. Is there a pop3 setting on dovecot that would keep emails, with possible retention period, and recognize that this email has been moved from inbox, etc.. If all of this is doable, would setting outlook to delete the email after 14 days work? delete email

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; -

Why does Dovecot add \Seen flag for mails that have been RETRed? Does anyone really want to use this feature? I can't remember why I implemented it originally, perhaps it was just "because other servers do that too". I'm thinking about at least changing pop3_no_flag_updates=yes to be default. There's also of course pop3_enable_last setting to enable LAST command

Hi Timo, i allready asked about this , and did some fixes , but it isnt working yet ,as far i have a setup like namespace default { # type = private separator = / prefix = "" list = yes # hidden = no subscriptions = yes } namespace virtual { # type = private prefix = "virtual/" separator = / location =

I have blocked some pop3 user sessions: Dec 8 00:03:38 xxxxxx pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<johndoe> Is there a way of sending a message to a user that constantly tries to establish a block pop3 session?

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

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

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

Hi, I am investigating the use of dovecot for a voicemail storage system (which is effectively a SMTP/POP3 system), which we want to use replication to give us some resilience. Tests have mostly been on dovecot 2.3.8 (9df20d2db) - as packaged on Centos 8 - but I have also used a couple of similar versions on different platforms, so this is not a specific build problem. The platform has

Hi All I am experiencing a mail download problem with dovecot's pop3 protocol. We use outlook XP 2002 mail clients and I have setup a mail system with pop accounts on a Fedora 2 installation using dovecot. Some of the clients download email fine but others do not download email and also do not give any error messages. I have enabled the "verbose" options in the

http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/maildir-dirty-syncs.diff This patch adds a new maildir_very_dirty_syncs setting. If set to "yes", Dovecot assumes it's the only one changing the cur/ directory (so other MDAs can add mails to new/ without problems). This makes it possible to avoid rescanning the cur/ directory all the time looking for filenames. It also looks like (in stress testing)

Hello I'm looking at migration path from my current setup (tpop3d/courier-imap) and I seem to miss one feature - ability to ignore some subfolders for pop3. tpop3d allows me to say: maildir-ignore-folders: Spam Trash trash Sent sent-mail POP3-Invisible (would be stupid to fetch own sent-mail via pop3 again 8-) In recent tpop3d cvs version I can also use regexps like

Hi folks A POP3 client not configured to keep a copy of messages on the server, as soon as retieve a message send a DELE commando with the number of the just retrieved message. Then, at the end of the POP3 session, the clent sends a QUIT command, wich order POP3 server to close the conection and delete the messages marqued with DELE command. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to tell

It would be very nice, if I could force users to leave a copy on the server when using POP3. This is because users primarily use a web interface to access mail (the web interface uses IMAP), but users can also download messages using POP3. Users who forget to set the "Leave copy on server" get all their messages deleted in the web interface, and mostly they don't want

Hi, Since we upgraded to 2.0.9 (from 1.10 stock CentOS release), we are getting some errors with pop3. When the machines get busy, now and then it start with the following: > Mar 7 11:19:51 xxx dovecot: pop3-login: Error: net_connect_unix(pop3) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And it generates hundreds of those before the machines dies, with the web server getting stuck as well on

hi! does anyone has a good howto, docs how to set up an smtp, pop3, imap server, with webmail, and has anti virus solution, and even spam filtering? :D [plus secure connection for the clients :D ] wich softwares are the best for this? [e.g.: "vsftpd is the most secure ftp server"..] users would be from /etc/passwd [so not virtual users] thank you! p.s.: I've already googled :(

I have some users that I will not allow to use POP3 thru my system, but force them to use webmail. Would it be possible to put an extra option in dovecot.conf to force this: # ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Logon processes # user = <username>,<password> # ----------------------------------------------------------------- user =
