Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.1.16 in a ubuntu 12.04 server, with lazy_expunge, SiS and mdbox format. The problem I'm having is that the index for one the mailboxes of one of my users is growing too much. This is not the first time of this problem. In previous cases, is because a message is duplicated thousand of times (I haven't found any reason for this). In these cases,

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating mailbox from one dovecot server running dovecot 2.1.9 with mailboxes stored in maildir format to a newer one running 2.1.16 with mailboxes stored in mdbox format. To migrate mailboxes I'm using dsync as explained at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync. The command I'm running in the newer server is: sudo dsync -o mailbox_list_index=no

Hello, I'm migrating from 1.1.16 running in 4 debian lenny servers virtualized with xenserver and 1 core and 5GB of RAM to 2.1.5 running in 4 ubuntu 12.04 servers with 6 cpu cores and 16GB of RAM virtualized with VMWare, but I'm having lots a performance problems.

Hi, I know that there are some variables (as user or username) I could use inside dovecot. They are at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables.

Hello, I'm having a problem with LMTP in a proxy server since I upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.2.28. In my logs I have: Apr 26 12:54:17 musio12 dovecot: lmtp(2082): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 2082 killed with signal 11 (core dumped). As far as I could check the message is delivered in a later connection. I have enabled core dumped files, but how could I debug it? -- Angel L.

Hello, In my system I have configured auth caching. The problem I have is that whenever a user changes his password, he/she can't login to dovecot after a while and the scenarios described at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Caching are not applied. I have tried also with "doveadm auth cache flush <login>", but it didn't work. He also could to login again if

Hi, What is the real difference between client and process limit? According to documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#Service_limits): client_limit: Maximum number of simultaneous client connections. If set to 0, default_client_limit is used instead. process_limit: Maximum number of processes that can exist for this service. If set to 0, default_process_limit is used instead. But

Hello, I am configuring quota plugin per user, not for the whole system. As documentation says (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota), I have to add "quota" to the global mail_plugins and "imap_quota" to mail_plugins for protocol imap, but I don't know how to configure this in a userdb. I'm using a passwd-file in the way:

Hi, I'm going to set up a new storage for our email users (about 10k). It's a network attached storage (Coraid). In your opinion, what is the best file system for mail server (pop3/imap/webmail) purpose? Thank you

Hello, Is there any way to create a predefined sieve filters during mailbox autocreation? What I want is that my user's mailboxes are automatically created (using mailbox option in namespaces) but I want them to have a predefined sieve script. Using a postlogin script could be an idea, but I'd prefer an automatic one, because postlogin only will filter after first user login --

Hello, I am trying to configure director as described at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director. I have previously tried the proxy and it worked.

Hello, While monitoring my servers' behaviour (ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.1.9, with about 70000 users) I have found that lots of disk usage is done by dovecot process (the parent process). Since lmtp, imap and pop3 connections are handle by their own process, what could be the reason of this? -- Angel L. Mateo Mart?nez Secci?n de Telem?tica ?rea de Tecnolog?as de la Informaci?n y las

Hello, I'm configuring lazy expunge plugin to act as a kind of backup of my user's emails. I'm getting a little problem because a lot of my users use "move to trash" behaviour in their email client (most of them are using thunderbird which has no option to hide deleted messages and is a hassle working with mark as deleted with it). The problem combining move to trash

Hello, I have a user sharing a folder to me (and other users). This has worked for me for a time. And it is still working for some users, but not for me. I'm using thunderbird (17.0.3, ubuntu 12.04 package). My server is dovecot 2.1.9 (it's the same since it works). The user sharing its mailbox is: $ sudo doveadm user t userdb: t home : /home/generica/02/001002 uid

Hi, I have a timeout problem only when I have heavy load in my system. I have two director servers directing to 4 backend servers.
