similar to: mail location change generates various errors

I have a sendmail/dovecot imap/pop3 system that has been running with the following mail_location: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u In order to reduce errors and simplify operation I removed imap and am now only responding to pop3. I'd like to also simplify the mail_location to get rid of index errors since I don't need indexes:

I am setting up a new mail server using imap only on Scientific Linux 6.5 and dovecot 2.0.9. How do I fix this problem? I keep getting these errors regardless of permissions ... even up to 777.

Nevermind. I figured it out. I left off the INDEX command. Sorry to spam the mail list :( Here is my mail_location for future reference / searches: mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u -----Original Message----- From: dovecot-bounces+chayes=afo.net at dovecot.org [mailto:dovecot-bounces+chayes=afo.net at dovecot.org]On Behalf Of Cliff Hayes

I can't seem to get imap virtual users to work with database authentication on new Scientific Linux 6.5 server with Sendmail 8.14.4 & Dovecot 2.0.9 Apparently I have to also create system users because sendmail/procmail/dovecot want to check directory ownership. So I created a database, made entry for the user, created the user chayes on the system. But %u always contains just chayes

Greetings to all. It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment (we are the biggest provider in Greece). So, here are the details: - Keep getting errors like these in our production environment Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with

Hello everyone, I've narrowed down my problem, so this should be an easy one for some smart person out there. I am moving from an old sendmail/Fedora 2 box to a new sendmail/Fedora 4 box and want to try Dovecot for pop3. The problem is, I can't get it to work. I have 9000 email accounts I will be moving to the new box. I've already tried and failed once. The problem is, Dovecot

Hello Dovecot, Do to a misconfiguration, I have a bunch of users who do not have the standard folders. I can create a routine to cycle through the users and look for the folders and run a command if there is one. Is there a way to create the proper namespace for a user after the user has already been created? Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root at sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in.

Hello all, I have 1.0 Alpha 4. Is it better to shut down sendmail, uninstall dovecot 1.0a4 then install 1.0a5, or just install 1.0a5 over the top of 1.0a4? Thanks, Cliff

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if this is a configuration issue or an actual bug. Dovecot does start, but if anybody tries to log in or if you run sievec you get an assertion fail and a coredump. --- sievec(root): Panic: file mail-namespace.c: line 709 (mail_namespace_find): assertion failed: (ns != NULL) sievec(root): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9c3a2)

Thanks. Assuming that the IMAP mail directory for the account affected is under /home/xyz/mail, are you talking about the contents of the index directory, excluding the log file therein?
