similar to: autocreate ONLY for new Users

Thanks Aki!! The welcome plugin sounds like the best workaround. To implement this we would need to upgrade our Dovecot installation: dovecot-core: Installed: 1:2.2.24-1~bpo8+1 Candidate: 1:2.2.27-2~bpo8+1 Are there special recommendations for the upgrade process (in addition to the Dovecot NEWS file)? Any special steps we should be aware of during the upgrade? Is it that simple

thanks for the feedback! Userdb would be an option, however we would need to extend our LDAP Schema with an additional "autocreate flag". Modifying the LDAP import scripts, this is quite a task. Another option we were thinking of is creating the special folders by a script right after user creation. By far the best and easiest solution would be a flag to auto-create the special folders

Hi Steffen Thanks for the reply! - Users are accessing from multiple devices simultaneously - Each user has his own mailbox, we do not use shared mailboxes regards On 12/06/2016 10:14 AM, Steffen Kaiser wrote: > On Tue, 6 Dec 2016, plataleas wrote: > > > We experience some unexpected behavior with dovecot.

welcome plugin is already present in 2.2.24, so in that sense, no need to upgrade. Other than that, it should be rather straightforward upgrade.

You could also use welcome plugin to execute a custom script on first login.

Hi all We experience some unexpected behavior with dovecot. It happens that emails marked as read get marked as unread (MUA is Thunderbird on port 143). Unfortunately this happens randomly, reproducing this issue is difficult. We could not find any pattern, it happens rarely. We are running dovecot version 2.2.24 on Debian Jessie (backports repository). /root at dovecot01:~# dovecot --version//

Hello. I found what if you have a something like this: autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam *Then I delete autocreate2 string* and... autocreate3 will not work. If I add autocreate2 - all work well. Yes it is seems to be right what they all must go after each otherm but if i have a 20 or 30 autocreate folders and i want to delete autocreate2 for example - all other from

Hi, is there a way to make dovecot autocreate the home directory and the /var/mail/username mbox file? I have tons of users in /etc/passwd but they might never open a shell (where I have oddjobmkhome working), just pop/imap.

Did anyone get the autocreate plugin working? I've compiled, installed and configured, but no mailboxes/folders are created. /L

Hello, I downloaded the dovecot-autocreate-0.1-4.6.i586.rpm made by Time Sirainen from opensuse.org and I am getting the following messages in my logs: Module is for different version 1.0.15: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib90_autocreate_plugin.so Couldn't load required plugins They appear for every attempt to autocreate a folder. So my question is what can I do to make it work

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test at test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group

Hello. I'm migrating from cyrus to dovecot and now after i converted mailboxes to Maildir. Some users already has imap folders with cyrillic chars. How could i autocreate folders with cyrillic chars? When i type something like: ... autocreate = utf8_chars autosubscribe = utf8_chars ... In logs i see that dovecot complains: Apr 05 16:21:43 imap(pavelkor): Debug: autocreate: Failed to create

Hello. I read docs, but still do not understand difference between following configuration options: namespace inbox { # Create and subscribe to folder mailbox Drafts { auto=subscribe } and `autocreate' plugin plugin { autocreate = inbox.Drafts autosubscribe = inbox.Drafts On wiki page that describes `autocreate' plugin i read: ... mailboxes that must always exist for all users.

I have a new installation of Dovecot 2.1.12 and cannot select the Inbox without getting this error: c select inbox c NO [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Hello, We have been using lda_mailbox_autocreate to avoid to intialize empty mailboxes upon account creations. This does the job allright except that dovecot-lda is also allowed to autocreate sub folders which is a problem when using addresses extensions (adress+folder at domain.tld). It's easy for a malicious user to flood a mailbox with tons of subfolders. Is there a way to tell

Hello, The "new" way of creating default mailboxes doesn't work for us. There seems to be a permission problem. We get this in the logs: imap(testuser at domain.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy That error message has nothing to do with NFS (not used) or /var/mail and appears every time an app is requesting a list of folders via

Hello, I just upgraded to Dovecot 2.2.13 from the 2.0 version branch- so far everything is working great. I wanted to take advantage of the mailbox option to auto create and auto subscribe users to a Sent and Trash folder (using the support for the special use flags), but ideally, I only want to do this for new mailboxes, and not for all the mailboxes that already exist on the system.

Hi, I just upgraded to 2.2.9 and found out that autocreate should not be used any more. I had a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings and I tried to replace my old config but I had no success. Would somebody be so and help me to change my config?
