similar to: Mailbox autocreate feature cannot create folders

Hi all, I have a dovecot v2.2.7 installation, and I would like dovecot to autocreate the Maildir mailbox when those mailboxes don't exist. Following the instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings have had no effect, the errors below are reported. As soon as I create the Maildir manually with maildirmake fetching mail starts working fine, so all of the messages about the

Hi, I just upgraded to 2.2.9 and found out that autocreate should not be used any more. I had a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings and I tried to replace my old config but I had no success. Would somebody be so and help me to change my config? Here is my old config: http://pastebin.com/zFUAQmV3 Thanks, -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

Hi, if I try to crate a folder in Thunderbird 8 which contains umlauts this happens: - Create folder "T?r" - Thunderbird show T&APw-r in folder list In log: Dec 07 17:45:39 imap(test1 at in-preetz.de): Debug: Namespace : /mailspool1/in-preetz.de/test1/mdbox/mailboxes/T&APw-r doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Dec 07 17:45:39 imap(test1 at in-preetz.de): Debug:

Hello, We have been using lda_mailbox_autocreate to avoid to intialize empty mailboxes upon account creations. This does the job allright except that dovecot-lda is also allowed to autocreate sub folders which is a problem when using addresses extensions (adress+folder at domain.tld). It's easy for a malicious user to flood a mailbox with tons of subfolders. Is there a way to tell

Hi, I'm one step away from replacing a 7 years old qmail/uw-imapd setup with some state of the art soft- and hardware. We got migration scripts and test almost done - just one thing that keeps failing: The autocreate plugin is supposed to subscribe new users to different mailboxes, one of them being in namespace "Public." - this subscription to "Public.announcements"

Hello, I'm new to dovecot, please forgive me my silly questions. :-) My OS is FreeBSD 6.1. I just installed dovecot 1.0.beta9. I have created a public namespace this way: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public } namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir inbox = yes } Then I created a new

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test at test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group

Just want to make sure before I set this up. I read that the autocreate plugin is deprecated and to use "Mailbox settings" as listed here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings. If that is correct then do I just add those mailbox blocks in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf? Lastly, will "sent items" auto populate with sent items or is there something else that needs to

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST. I have a user testuser who logged in successfully to GOMER and has a roaming profile in /var/lib/samba/profiles/testuser. So I changed the TCP/IP settings of the windows XP computer testuser uses from the WINS server of 10.8.3.37 to 10.8.3.231 so it would use BLDG1 for

I need some help here... ;-) I'm experimenting with global ACLs, but just fail to understand very basic behaviors. So, before digging into the source code, I would really be delighted if someone could immediately point a mistake I'm making and miserably overlooking. The output of dovecot -n is provided at the end of this email. Just in case, conforming to the suggestion made in

OK, gurus, I've spent the last 2 days crawling through all of the posts and web postings regarding shared folders, and I simply cannot get it to work. I'm sure that there is something simple that I've overlooked, but cannot for the life of me see it :) Here's my current config: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-46-generic x86_64 Ubuntu

I'm seeing a crash in 1.1alpha2 when trying to expunge a folder when "lazy_expunge" is enabled: namespace private { separator = . prefix = .EXPUNGED/ location = maildir:/mailstore/%u/Expunged hidden = yes } ... lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ Commenting out "lazy_expunge" prevents the crash and mail is expunged. It happens with and without

I am migrating a couple old RH servers running sendmail and UW-IMAP to a new Ubuntu 10.04 servers running Postfix and Dovecot. I have everything working reasonably well except that the permissions of newly created mbox mail folders is always 600. I have reviewed the archives, google, and double checked everything is as suggested in the Dovecot Wiki / SharedMailboxes / Permissions. I am

Hello, How I can share a folder with dots when the listescape plugin is enabled? In this example user001 is sharing two foders named "docs-abc" and "docs-a.b.c" to user002. The first folder (without dots) is seen by user002 but the second is not found by dovecot because it search a system folder named ".docs-a.b.c" but the system folder is

Hello. I'm migrating from cyrus to dovecot and now after i converted mailboxes to Maildir. Some users already has imap folders with cyrillic chars. How could i autocreate folders with cyrillic chars?

Hi, mail is delivered by Dovecot's LMTP locally and I need user's home directory to be created if it doesn't exist yet. There is a setting in Dovecot's configuration, "session=yes", in /etc/Dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext, which should do that. passdb { driver = pam args = session=yes dovecot } But I think it does not work in my setup because I do not see any

Hi, I have Samba 3.0.4 running with openldap 2.2.15. I have a PDC and two member servers. I want to load balance my users home directories and roaming profiles over the two member servers.
