similar to: bug - over system quota and dovecot-uidlist

I've been having a problem with a crashing Dovecot the last couple of months where it crashes after a couple of weeks of uptime. Been a bit difficult to diagnose. Anyway, we're now running 1.0.9 on a Sun Fire T1000 running Solaris 10. Any good ideas on how to pin-point the problem? - Peter Here's the output from syslog when the last crash happened: May 14 11:46:50 ifm.liu.se

Hello, In what situations will Dovecot 1.2.11 rebuild its uidlist? I am using the maildir storage format, and I am also modifying the uidlist manually (so it's possible I could jack* things up). I have found some related code in maildir-uidlist.c: maildir_uidlist_next. 1) Blank filename or UID 0 2) Any UID not being greater than the proceeding UID 3) Any UID being greater than ~4 billion. 4)

Hi, ?Am using dovecot-2.2.10-8 on Centos-7 and everything seemed to be totally fine for many years. Now am trying to migrate our on-premises mail server to the cloud and I had to get some statistics. I was doing that using the doveadm utility. Unfortunately I found that the numbers don't match if I check the real messages in my Maildirs. For some account doveadm was reporting number of

Hi all, Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order (directory list order I

My dovecot server seems to randomly begin giving errors to pop3 users who try to fetch their email. Once this begins, they see no more new mail, though the mail is in cur. Running: dovecot-stable 20050501, Mac OS X 10.3.9 Log entries like this: May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: pop3-login: Login: kim [24.22.16.169] May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: POP3(kim): rename(/Users/kim/Maildir/

Tried that. It rebuilds index based on dovecot-uidlist. But not the dovecot-uidlist based on actual mail data. :( Fil On March 21, 2018 11:58:21 PM EDT, "@lbutlr" <kremels at kreme.com> wrote: >On 2018-03-21 (17:15 MDT), Dmitry Filonov ><filonovd at enders.tch.harvard.edu> wrote: >> Now the question is if there's any way to tell dovecot to rebuild

Hi. I'm using exim that delivers email over LMTP to dovecot 2.2.13. I noticed that dovecot LMTP service is sometimes (reare but repeats) mixing users. Example below. There is one mail (msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>) that is going to be delivered to multiple local recipients. Some recipients are delivered properly: Sep 1 05:40:33 host dovecot:

Hi, I have some problems with my own mail-client. To fix the problem I want to know if my dovecot-uidlist is correct. Here it is: cat dovecot-uidlist 3 V1207893082 N522 519 :1231251810.M890065P5870.SERVER,W=2188,S=2124:2,DS 520 :1231750443.M221593P17335.SERVER,W=2260,S=2211:2,S 522 :1231773105.M510336P24592.SERVER,W=2278,S=2229:2,S 523 :1231773105.M510337P24592.SERVER,W=2280,S=2231:2,S 524

Hi, Is there an IMAP performance difference using Maildir between using version 3 and version 1 of the dovecot-uidlist (either dovecot 1.0.7 or 1.1.2)? It isn't entirely clear to me there is any difference as the filename may contain the size/vsize information. The servers will eventually be running 1.1.2 with the maildir_copy_preserve_filename turned on. I'm doing a batch migration

Hello Everyone: ????? Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically??? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he

I'm trying to lock down a maildir from modifications using dovecot-uidlist.lock, but when a user with mailbox.auto = create logs in, then the folder is created regardless of dovecot-uidlist.lock existing or not. Is there no way to prevent dovecot from touching anything in a maildir folder? -- Tom

Hi all, I've a dovecot server setup and occassionally clients cannot get mails from their inbox. When I inspect the maildir for that user, there is stale dovecot-uidlist.lock file, and imap process keeps waiting for release of the lock. Is there any other method to perform locking on dovecot-uidlist instead of using dotlock mechanism? It is creating maintenance problems if I need to remove

Hello all, Is there a way to use LMTP (or LDA) so that maildir index and dovecot-uidlist are not updated? My setup is such that mail delivery sees user's maildir as write only. This setup works well when using postfix for mail delivery, but when I try to switch to dovecot LMTP the lmtp process wants to read the dovecot-uidlist and fails on insufficient privileges. Is there a way around this

Hi, with 1.0-test79 Aug 3 16:18:23 ymmv dovecot: IMAP(jh): file maildir-uidlist.c: line 536 (maildir_uidlist_rewrite): assertion failed: (uidlist->lock_count == 1) Aug 3 16:18:23 ymmv dovecot: child 10780 (imap) killed with signal 6 Any idea what that is? I did no special operation, just selected a mail to read with thunderbird (1.06). After restarting TB it worked.

If I read the code correctly, only dotlocks are supported for locking of dovecot-uidlist. And I don't see any settings in the config file for it. As it turns out, dotlocks are very slow on my system, due to their implementation via hardlinks. Would it be possible to support other locking mechanisms for locking of the uidlist file? -jdb

Hello, I have issue with dovecot (v. 2.1.13)configuration after implementation dovecot-lda (I used maildrop earlier). Now i have 9 servers with storage by NFS v3.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what exactly (and why) are the consequences of a lost or removal of the dovecot-uidlist file on an IMAP client (Thunderbird for instance). I took for granted that it was that the client would download all messages again since it might be confused by some UID changes. But I don't really see why (on the IMAP protocol level) and I don't know how to
