I'm working to get Dovecot 2.0.13 working along with qmail, Vpopmail and Squirrelmail on a Debian 6.0.2 system, Dovecot compiled, not from a package. Vpopmail has a widely known assigned user/group ID of 89 and is the owner of all the mail folders. Regardless of value of first_valid_uid (1, 89, other), Dovecot denies Squirrelmail connection, saying it can't allow access to UID 89.

Hello, I still cannot get dovecot running with more then 1000 processes, but hard limit is 8192 per user in box. I tried everything, including modifying startup script of dovecot to set ulimit -u 8192. Could it be some dovecot bug or dovecot<>freebsd bug? I also tried to set client_limit=2 in imap service to spawn more imap clients in one process, but still I am over 1000 processes with

Hello, I'm migrating many accounts to a new server with vpopmail 5.4.33 and dovecot 2.0.11. I've already vpopmail 5.4.32 and dovecot 1.2.16 on others servers running without problems.

I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04.1 and that upgraded Dovecot to 2.0.19. For some reason I'm getting a lot more (5 times) disconnect in IDLE and inactivity time outs. I'm using only IMAP with two users. Both users access the server from multiple devices, phone, tablet and desktop computer. I had previously set the max_userip_connections to 20 and rarely got the

Hello In my installation the disable_plaintext_auth does not appear to take effect. I can see that the value is correct using doveconf -a but it doesn't change anything. Whenever attempting to log in using IMAP I get this: * BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication not allowed without SSL/TLS, but your client did it anyway. If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. ls NO

hi, one customer told us, that he has performance problem in his Thunderbird 3.1.9, while open his sent folder, which has round about 4000 mails in it, and 20k in his Inbox. For example TB, tries to sync the sent-folder list (over SSL) from the sent folder for now over 15min. In the log, I can't see any strange things, so for me, Dovecot works ok. Maybe, I should use better cache options?
