I'd like to configure my dovecot service to use the IMAP SPECIAL-USE extension, but have a few questions for those who have used them, or are knowledgable about its use. Using this configuration as an example, namespace { ... mailbox xxx { special_use = \Sent } } Q1) Am I correct that mail client that don't understand SPECIAL-USE extentions will behave the same way with

I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a remote non-dovecot IMAP account. (The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil -- it works, but it's dreadfully slow.) As a first crack

Any guess at what would cause this? Feb 7 21:20:53 server dovecot: imap(user): Panic: file mailbox-list-fs-iter.c: line 447 (fs_list_get_roots): assertion failed: (full_fs_access) (Sorry, no core dump) According to my logs, this user couldn't start an IMAP session for a 2 hour stretch for hundreds of connections. Then the problem seemed to have went away. I logged back as that

Hi all, let me ask a question, please. Is it possible in dovecot to set up per user special-use folder names? Imagine situation with two users where first prefere another language that second. mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } for english speaking users and mailbox "Odeslan? po?ta" { special_use = \Sent } for czech speaking users. Thanks for your answers. Radek

I have a problem with a user who uses a wireless carrier that keeps changing his IP as he travels throughout the city. From the perspective of our dovecot IMAP server, the user keeps logging in from another IP, and after a short while, hits up against the mail_max_userip_connections limit. It takes 30 minutes before those orphaned connections times out. Is there any way to decrease the IMAP

Hello. I'm having some weird problem with (probably) mailbox_list_index, that it doesn't see new mail in mailboxes. I'm using 2.2.4 over imap and ssh/imap, and after a while dovecot stops noticing new mail in some folders. Its always the same 2-3 folders of about 30. I read something about list-index corruption in 2.2.2, and i thought it was that i was running into earlier, but this

Thanks Joseph, Aki, but something missing from upgrade document, where does the dh param file go? I located ssl-parameters.dat so I will put it there.

A mail user reported that he filled up his INBOX (despite reminders he was approaching his filesystem quota), and furthermore, he could not fix the situation because he couldn't expunge message he marked for deletion. The dovecot logs revealed the cause dovecot: imap(user): Error: open(/var/mail/user.lock) failed: Disc quota exceeded This created an impasse where a user cannot free

Which headers are you taking about? If you're talking about Received: headers, that's usually inserted by your MTA, not dovecot. Joseph Tam <jtam.home at gmail.com>
