similar to: dovecot/FreeBSD and Android IMAP clients

Dear Colleagues, Is there a file or directory within a user's Maildir, whose date of modification or access indicates the last time the user accessed his/her E-mail via IMAP or POP3? I'd like to figure out the time a user last logged in into his/her mail account, not the last time a mail was delivered to the INBOX. This information is probably available in the log, but a file which is

Dear Colleagues, I am using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 with maildirs. Just found out that MacOS Mail clients cannot work with nested folders, presumably because the MacOS Mail does not understand "." as the IMAP separator. Other clients (ThunderBird, Sylpheed, mutt) work fine. Do you think I can change the hierarchy separator in the "inbox" namespace without breaking other clients and

The problem is not transmitting them in the clear but keeping them in the clear in a local file like muttrc, or entering the password each time you launch mutt. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49 at fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/

Colleagues, I am running smbd in a setup described in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/idmapper.html#id2604553 under "Winbind is not used; users and groups are local". Samba is running in the security=domain mode, but all Windows users are being mapped to Unix users in /etc/passwd. Now I need to run winbindd for Squid authentication. The problem is, as soon as

Colleagues, I have encountered a weird problem (FreeBSD 8.2, samba34-3.4.14). A user can create files in a samba share but cannot delete files from it (unless she is the owner of the file). The user is a member of a group with rwx permissions on this directory granted by a Posix ACL entry. The user can create and delete files in the directory from the shell on the file server (which is correct

There is a samba compiled without winbind support, with the following options configured: workgroup = MYDOMAIN security = domain allow trusted domains = yes add user script = /usr/sbin/pw useradd %u -m -Y -M 755 When a Windows user MYDOMAIN\john connects to the samba server, he is mapped to the Unix user john. If there is no Unix user "john", it is created by the add user script. How

Dear Colleagues, I have made mailboxes in ~/Mail available via IMAP (Dovecot 2.3.2.1), that is: "mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u" However, I often read and modify the mailboxes locally with mutt (e.g. append and delete mails). Should I expect any problems wit Dovecot indexes etc? What if I even do "rm ~/Mail/some/mailbox", will Dovecot be mad at me? --

Why not use Mutt's IMAP capabilities and keep the indexes nice and clean? Regards Thomas -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc Type:

Dear Colleagues, I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl

What I do is keep my passwords in a file encrypted by GPG and have mutt do: source "gpg -q --textmode -d ~/.neomutt/passwords.gpg |" that way they're not readable except by use of a passworded GPG key. -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 E-Mail: larryrtx at gmail.com US Mail: 5708 Sabbia Drive, Round Rock, TX

Colleagues, I am attempting to chainload a file from TFTP.
