similar to: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1 (fwd)

Hi Aki, I am not 100% sure. I do not really know what my OS does. "ps -A" says dovecot is running, but if I say "sudo service dovecot stop", my email client works fine still (that is, assuming the old version of dovecot is installed). ie the on-demand instances of dovecot-imapd that Alpine calls are, I assume, started and stopped by Alpine. (?) Is my OS using dovecot

Hi Aki, Bingo! Putting that line in dovecot.conf rather than my custom file, and then using my old custom file, unchanged, from Alpine works perfectly. My only remaining question, then, would be ... what was this (change) about / or is there any documentation that I should/could have read to know what to do without asking a lead developer? Thank you very much. I hope you had a great start

Hi Aki, Yes, the same connect error: imap(meuser,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied The mail location in "doveconf -n" (belo) does not reflect my preferences. In Alpine, if I acknowledge the error I get, which tells me to add novalidate-cert in my pinerc file, it prompts me for my POSIX username and password. After that, I get my

Hi Aki, (This message might not make it to the list; I have to switch back to the other dovecot to be able to send from that address) Oops; I did not think carefully enough about your instructions. Here is the output from $ dovecot -n -c /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-stanford-dovecot.conf # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-stanford-dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.2 () # OS:

Hi Aki, Thanks. I put that in the .conf file I mentioned, and it made no difference.

Hello Stephan, I'm interested to see this get fixed (and ideally one day for it to be really easy for people to set up Alpine so that it competes fairly with heavier GUIs!), but I do not know that I am qualified to help (beyond light testing). Is there someone from Alpine on this thread? The second (askubuntu.com) link you give is my own question (and answer, based on Aki Tuomi's

I use a localhost dovecot imap server in order to access maildir folders from Alpine (see 2009 instructions for my set up here https://cpbl.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/alpine-offlineimap-and-gmail-under-ubuntu/ ) My configuration has worked nicely since 2009, but failed after a recent upgrade of dovecot (during basic upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10). The version of Alpine did not change.

Am I assuming correctly that you are not, in fact, running anything but imap process from Dovecot?

If your client directly executes imap binary, it is not mandatory for dovecot to be running, but you need to put the service section into /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart the dovecot service. Putting it to your local config file does not affect the global service. Aki > On 31 December 2018 at 22:16 Chris BL <cpblpublic+dovecot at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi Aki,

Did you remove the service section before taking doveconf -n? 'cos I can't see it here.. Also, did you restart dovecot after config change?

You are still getting the connect error? Can you share your doveconf -n? Aki > On 31 December 2018 at 16:42 cpblpublic+dovecot at gmail.com wrote: > > > Hi Aki, > > Thanks.

Hi! In your case it's probably easiest to change service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 0666 } } Aki > On 31 December 2018 at 16:05 cpblpublic+dovecot at gmail.com wrote: > > > > I use a localhost dovecot imap server in order to access maildir folders from Alpine (see 2009 instructions for my set up here >

Every time I try and add a user to samba using 'smbpasswd -a -m meuser' I get the following error messages: Bind failed: Inappropriate authentication Bind failed: Inappropriate authentication Failed to add entry for user meuser. Failed to modify password entry for user meuser These are the steps from the docs that I take to create a user: Step 1. /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d

I looked through the wiki and the archives, but couldn't find an answer to this question. We use a webmail product that uses three dummy mbox dotfiles for storing configuration and temporary info. I'm trying to find a way to have dovecot's indexing ignore all dotfiles, and so far have had no luck (other than, of course, coding it in myself). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Just started with Samba a few weeks ago so am still a newbie. Am serving a single W-95 client reasonably well - it allows users to log on using their unix id and passwd, and they can all browse their unix home directories. However .... I can't seem to get the "hide dotfiles" directive to work. Nor the "hide files"! Also, If a user on W-95 saves a file to unix called,

Many people have wondered what my rsync syntax was - [as root]: rsync -av /path/to/source me at remote-host:/path/to/dest I'll be adjusting it to adapt to perform incrementals, probably with --update. So, just need to learn why some of the .dotfiles, and other unknown files (unless I ran a diff) didn't successfully copy over. Thanks.

I've been using sna to work with some networks, and am trying to visualize them easily. My networks are hierarchical (food webs). All of the layout engines I've tried with gplot don't seem to plot hierarchical networks, as one would using dot from graphviz. While I could do all of this by outputting to dotfiles and running it through graphviz, the graphics I get from R are much

I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert. If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in
