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,

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 currently have a basic script to process some mails, it runs from cron every 10 minutes, basically, sieve copies some mails to subfolder on mail arrival, script fetches mails if any from this subfolder then processes these mail, get maybe 1 or 2 or often none but cron runs the script every 10 minutes, most times not needed as nothing is retrieved it's pretty crude - but works getmail

I have a domain with about 50 mailboxes, server is located here in AUS but most of the users are on a LAN is SEAsia location. They were using POP (with Thunderbird), I suggested then can use IMAP instead, so they did. now they are asking; "Looks like Imap is adding a lot to our internet bandwidth" I guess they have some bandwidth limitation on their link I think I can understand that
