similar to: s it safe to manipulate Maildir files directly?

Dovecoters, is it safe to manipulate files in Maildir/xxx directly or will Dovecot become unstable if I don't make these changes by talking to Dovecot and having it make the changes? (I'm running 2.1.7 under Wheezy, IMAP only) My specific application: I am running spamassassin and would like users to be able to submit spam (and ham) directly by moving it into special folders. A cron

I've done the installation (rpm downloaded from the RHES4 link given by Oli below) but dovecot won't start, it gave the error pop3-login & imap-login not supported by protocol. I'm sure with a much older version (in my previous post) of dovecot, I'm able to start up dovecot & it did not give this error. Thought dovecot is suppose to come with pop3 & imap? # rpm -Uvh

According to a message to this list from Oli Schacher, http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-June/059493.html, all I need to do is copy the deleted emails to their original folder and dovecot will take care of it: On Tue Jun 7 08:43:54 EEST 2011 Oli Schacher wrote: >> OK, but if I want to restore a particular mail from backups, what're >> the steps involved?

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload

I changed some quota options in my dovecot config (eg. excluded folders) but afaik this only affects new mail and there is no magic command to recalculate the quota (or is there?). So I wrote this little python script to do this, maybe someone finds it useful. It can output the sql statements (dovecot 1.0/1.1 and 1.2 format) or just print out quota usage to console.

Hi # 2.2.1 (83d83f55e5c2+) / dsync replicated setup I just noticed that 'doveadm search' apparently tries to replicate mailboxes and spits out errors if a mailbox in the search query is not found: #doveadm search -u user at example.com mailbox Spamreport doveadm(user at example.com): Error: Syncing mailbox Spamreport failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: Spamreport this is especially

Hi I enabled quota + warnings in my replication test setup and now whenever a mail gets delivered the quota is counted twice (probably due to both servers using the same mysql quota backend) and quota warnings are fired too early. After a doveadm quota recalc -u <username> the quota is correct again. How do I make dovecot only count the quota on the server where the mail was added

Hi Timo With the current dovecot hg we're getting dsync replication errors "Panic: Unknown key: send_mail_requests" followed by a crash.

Thanks for the reply Heiko > About the 'cur' I'd not be too sure. Well, I'm just restoring to .Deleted Items, so it shouldn't be a problem. The tar restore should preserve names, permission, etc. I'll backup the current Maildir, the try the restore and see what happens.

Hi Timo With dovecot built from the latest 2.2.9 hg (342f6962390e) we get imap crashes. This only affects one account which is used by multiple clients.

Hi list I'm still trying to get managesieve running on centos x64 with the packages from atrpm. I used the 1.2.9 rpms (also rebuilt with the lastet managesieve patches) but I'm always getting the same error when trying to compile managesieve: ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/lib64/dovecot/ --with-dovecot-sieve=/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.14 (no errors) make gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
