We're using dovecot on a help desk ticketing system. The system doesn't perform any cleanup of IMAP mailboxes so we have a regular cronjob doing this: /usr/bin/doveadm flags add -A '\Deleted' SEEN SENTBEFORE 12w && /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A DELETED MAILBOX '*' Recently, doveadm has been reporting this: doveadm(nobody): Error: User initialization failed:

I am trying to set up dovecot to automatically create a Spam mailbox for every user. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings shows how to do this but not what config file to put it in so I assume 10-mail.conf. When I put it in there as follows... namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { auto = create special_use = \Junk } } ... I get the following error ... doveconf: Fatal: Error in

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? Here is my old config: http://pastebin.com/zFUAQmV3 Thanks, -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

I am trying to merge all, existing or not, different mailboxes in one with the mailbox alias plugin. If I add the following lines, will the existing mailboxes automatically merge in one mailbox and corresponding links auto create? If not, do I have to do this manually? mailbox_alias_new = Spam mailbox_alias_new2 = Junk E-mail mailbox_alias_new3 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_new4 =

I'm trying to understand autoexpunge, but the documentation is just not clear. Hopefully, someone can clear up a few questions. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings says the following: autoexpunge=<time>: (v2.2.20+) Automatically at user deinitialization expunge all mails in this mailbox whose saved-timestamp is older than <time> (e.g. autoexpunge=30d). This removes the

I've waited about two years to write this mail... :) As of Dezember, 24th Mozilla Thunderbird can handle SPECIAL-USE. The patch, which adds the required functionality, has passed review and TBs nightly build was successful. The next official Thunderbird release (version 38, release date 2015-05-19) will very likely ship SPECIAL-USE included. \o/ SPECIAL USE is an IMAP extension. It means

Hi, using ACL plugin with dovecot 1.1.1 I expected that a Maildir was listed as * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "Foldername" if "create" (k) permission is not set in ACLs and there doesn't exists any subfolders. But to my surprise, dovecot gives the following output: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Foldername" Therefore the client (here:

Just want to make sure before I set this up. I read that the autocreate plugin is deprecated and to use "Mailbox settings" as listed here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings. If that is correct then do I just add those mailbox blocks in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf? Lastly, will "sent items" auto populate with sent items or is there something else that needs to

We're converting UW-IMAP users here to dovecot. Some of them have seen the error message issued when Thunderbird clients try to delete folders and I understand what's going on (from previous postings) that Dovecot doesn't support mbox subfolders within folders. What puzzles me is that many of these users already have folders within folders (I've found typically 2 levels of

Hi, Certain IMAP folder problems started popping up with Squirrelmail with the 1.1beta10 version of Dovecot (and possibly earlier versions). Looked into it and I am seeing odd behavior with the LIST command. Here is how to reproduce problem, unless I'm missing something obvious: a001 login dean <password> a001 OK Logged in. a002 list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked)

In prepping our IMAP migration to Dovecot, I've hit upon a small issue: the "IMAP server directory" which Thunderbird users have set in the "advanced" prefs. Our old IMAP server seems to set your current directory to ~. This wound up causing users to set their IMAP server directory to "/home/<user>/mail/" so that their mailboxes would be found: --> A104

Hi, I use dovecot 2.1 with mbox (pop3 imap). For imap I want set dovecot compatibile with my webmail. My webmail use filename for mbox as "sent-mail" , "mail-trash", etc. How I can change from default "Sent" to check (create) "sent-mail" file ? -- View this message in context:

Folks; I'm in the process of migrating an existing IMAP infrastructure to something that should be dovecot based. We live inside a Windows AD 2012 realm and the servers use winbind for user authentication as well as pam configurations to automatically create user home dirs whenever the user logs in first. Can something like this (mailbox is automatically generated whenever user logs in

Hi Friends, I'm using on Debian Jessie, Dovecot 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u3. I would like to know if is it possible to auto-configure the email client, for example Thunderbird or K-9 mail. Essentially I would like to know if is it possible to let dovecot instruct the mail client about how to auto-configure the email client. Actually my mail server parameters are not automatically taken from

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot? for example: #!/bin/bash # v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install # Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs # after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder

Hi all, I've been experimenting with Dovecot; tests with Maildir seemed to work fine. However, now I'm trying with mbox folders, and I'm having a problem where I do not get an INBOX listed using pine. Outlook Express and IMP show it fine. I snooped part of the session, which appears to go like this (it is slightly garbled, sorry -- I couldn't get rawlog to work by creating
