I have Dovecot 2.1.17 on Centos, all working well since yesterday one user complaining he can not retrieve emails, TBird mail client says like '1 of 9' and, doesn't go any further. that's on several of his PCs using TBird, on a LAN behind f/wall, quite physically remote to server, server in Sydney, remote client is SEAsia looking at logs I see emails access, looking at server

just setting a new Dovecot server to migrate from older system, but, I have a general question: 1. I've set the server with self issued cert, and both pop/imap StartTLS/110/143 SSL/993/995 (apologies if I'm using wrong naming terminology) is there a 'preferred way'? should I tell users to use 143 over 993 ? or 993 over 143? or? my current understanding is that some (MS?)

I've installed LE certs on my Dovecot a while back, and, it has been working OK since, but, today, an iPhone user said he can't get emails as iphone says 'cert is expired', searching around, I see some other iPhone similar issues reported, do I have my conf correct, I have; # cat dovecot.conf | grep ssl ssl = required verbose_ssl = no ssl_cert =

I'm trying to setup per user '+spam' delivery from amavis tags, so that each user gets any mails tagged as spam to 'spam' Maildir via +spam Dovecot lmtp delivery. after say 7 days I want to delete all spams older than 7 days, if I simply delete mail files from the file system, is that a 'bad thing' ? what is a proper way to do that, and scripts ? for

I have 2.2 installation on Centos 7, and, I'm trying to setup a new server, and, 'clone' existing setup: Dovecot/Postfix/Mysql on new Centos 7 installed from RPM 2.3.4.1 (3c0b8769e) I then copied/overwrote from old to new /etc/dovecot/*.conf (but not conf.d files), created self certs in place of old server certs and, started Dovecot is that totally dumb, and, how should I do this,

dumb question warning: I have two email accounts, me at tld1 and me at tld2 often, get emails intended (by me) for me at tld2 sent to me at tld1 this is purely for my own preferred record keeping preference, as I run the server, is it 'a really bad things' if I simply copy relevant mail files from /var/vmail/vmail1/tld1..../cur to /var/vmail/vmail1/tld2.../cur ? rather than forward

I currently have a basic script to process some mails, it runs from cron every 10 minutes, basically, sieve copies some mails to subfolder on mail arrival, script fetches mails if any from this subfolder then processes these mail, get maybe 1 or 2 or often none but cron runs the script every 10 minutes, most times not needed as nothing is retrieved it's pretty crude - but works getmail
