Hi All, On one of my servers I have a personal account and root. I disable root for ssh logins and run ssh on an alternative port. When 'scp'ing files I usually scp them up, then ssh in 'su' root and move them to /var/www/html. I can sftp I realize, but what group can I add my personal account to, but not root, so I can sftp in and put the files in /var/www/html? Secondarily

I have some emails that I think are in the Postfix delivery queue going to Dovecot, but didn't get mapped to their alias (because I didn't have all the alias entries in when they were queued). I'm wondering if this trick would work. I have the mail being delivered to /home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mail and am wondering if I could make a symlink at /home/mail/example.com/foo -> bar and add a

I'm running dovecot-1.0.9 on Gentoo Linux. I recently observed a large increase in disk usage on this dedicated mailserver. I attribute it to high spam traffic and/or large attachments for legit email retained on the server. How can I run a command equivalent to an IMAP client's 'Compact Folder' on the entire tree of maildirs under each /home/(user)? Thanks.

Hi, This is the one thing holding me back from switching to Dovecot... Can anyone give a realistic timeframe for when Shred maildirs will be officially supported? Thanks... other than that missing piece, Dovecot rocks! Charles

Hi, I'm sorry because this mail is a little bit off-topic, but Timo's email titled "1.0RC7 Released" made me think about a possible issue for me. I have to move an old dovecot installation (1.0b2) from an i386 server to a new x86_64 server running latest available dovecot. My concern is about moving all my users' mail stored as maildir onto this new server. What would be

I saw some stuff about AFS maildirs awhile back, and dovecot seems happy being running via ssh from offlineimap with :INDEX=/tmp/dovecot-%u, but what I'd really like to know is has anyone got a functional dovecot installation with AFS and GSSAPI sasl support that gets the correct users's AFS tokens? Thanks -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a situation with many users and an existing mail delivery agent. Seems like I once saw an imaptest program which I imagine might be used to pre-index maildirs. For example... - remember which users and user maildirs have changed since last pre-index - when system quiet pre-index any maildirs which have had mail delivered and no access by a mail client (using some

I managed to get a bunch of zero-byte files in my maildirs today, and Dovecot choked completely (at least for pop3 users); It wouldn't download any messages at all, and the mailbox would often say "-ERR [IN-USE]" when doing a STAT Aria

Hi, I've some dot-files in the Maildir/ folder. These files appear in the Mailbox listing, but of course they can't be accessed. In the previous dovecot versions these files were hidden. Matthias

How would it be possible to configure dovecot (2.0.16) in such a way that it would serve several maildirs (e.g., INBOX, INBOX.Drafts, INBOX.Sent, forum_email, [Gmail].Trash, etc.) per virtual user? I am only able to specify a single maildir, but I want all maildirs in /home/my-username/mail/account1/ to be served. e.g., /etc/dovecot/passwd:

Is there way to import old plain mboxes via dsync?

I am cleaning up some old users, and found that in every maildir folder there is an empty file called maildirfolder, created at the time the original dovecot was installed. Is this empty file necessary for dovecot, or is it left there in an upgrade proces and can it be removed?

Hi! I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy 32-bit (package version is 1:2.1.7-7+deb7u1) with maildirs. My problem is that the incremental indexing of maildirs with squat takes a very long time... I don't know if it reindexes anything, but it seems it iterates though all messages on each search query and reads them. It works fast only on successive queries within several minutes,
