I have a user with with W7/TBird/IMAP to my dovecot 2.1.17 server, the user complains whilst he is composing lengthy emails (with multiple fowrds/replies quoted in the message) he gets 'hour glass' over compose windows with some message about not being able to save drafts, he then powers off ADSL modem, which enables him to continue composing email, powers on ADSL, and sends email what

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

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,

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 just used Squirrel web client to re organize some old emails to subfolders. that worked OK, EXCEPT, all these emails are now in order that I have moved them rather than original date, is that some 'simple' way to re-sort them back by original date ? thanks for any pointers, sorry for dumb question Voytek

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;m setting up new server, what are the options for transferring user's mail ? I've tried imapsync, that seems to work well, but, what options do I have for doing accounts or domains where I don't know user's password ? last time I've done, some users had lengthy period of re downloading 'old' mails from new server, is there a way to overcome this ? thanks, V

one of the users thinks someone hacked his email, I don't have time this morning to analyze mail logs in detail, but does some one has some tips to simply searching mail logs for multiple log in attempts, etc, I'd appreciate some grepping for failed logins show give some clues ?

installed new Dovecot 2.2 on Centos 7, and, migrated some users from old server # dovecot --version 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) works OK, but, noticed some sql and index.cache errors what am I missing ? only noticed this one so far ------------------ # grep "Too many open files" /var/log/dovecot.log Jan 02 15:22:16 auth-worker(1411): Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Got error 24

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
