I'm trying to lock down a maildir from modifications using dovecot-uidlist.lock, but when a user with mailbox.auto = create logs in, then the folder is created regardless of dovecot-uidlist.lock existing or not. Is there no way to prevent dovecot from touching anything in a maildir folder? -- Tom

We are in the process of migrating away from Courier-IMAP/POP3 and Maildrop. I want to use Dovecot (LDA, IMAP, POP3). During my testing, it has worked great except for dotlocking on the dovecot-uidlist file. The problem: When a delivery is being made with deliver and a mail client has the mailbox open (Thunderbird in this case), neither Thunderbird or deliver can get a dotlock on the

Hello, In what situations will Dovecot 1.2.11 rebuild its uidlist? I am using the maildir storage format, and I am also modifying the uidlist manually (so it's possible I could jack* things up). I have found some related code in maildir-uidlist.c: maildir_uidlist_next. 1) Blank filename or UID 0 2) Any UID not being greater than the proceeding UID 3) Any UID being greater than ~4 billion. 4)

In both 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 (probably also before that, but dont have logs) im seeing quite a few of these: Nov 17 12:45:12 userimap10.xs4all.nl dovecot: IMAP(xxxxxxx): /var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/c/c0/xxxxxxx/INBOX/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line 2650: 1257768394._smtp.mxdrop238.41874,S=17304:2,Sad (uid 34270 -> 37166) I never really looked at it because it doesnt seem

Hi, since today I have some issue when I try to stop / start / restart unicorn I can''t understand why but it seems to be mixing my local user and my server user on config/unicorn/production.rb I have user ''userserver'', ''userserver'' where ''userserver'' is the name of the user on server so when I launch command cap unicorn:restart I

Hi all, Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order (directory list order I

Hi, ?Am using dovecot-2.2.10-8 on Centos-7 and everything seemed to be totally fine for many years. Now am trying to migrate our on-premises mail server to the cloud and I had to get some statistics. I was doing that using the doveadm utility. Unfortunately I found that the numbers don't match if I check the real messages in my Maildirs. For some account doveadm was reporting number of

My dovecot server seems to randomly begin giving errors to pop3 users who try to fetch their email. Once this begins, they see no more new mail, though the mail is in cur.

When I use this: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n the dovecot-uidlist file is located in: /home/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist But when I change it to: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/%d/%n then it's stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist Any idea why is not stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist ?

Tried that. It rebuilds index based on dovecot-uidlist. But not the dovecot-uidlist based on actual mail data. :( Fil On March 21, 2018 11:58:21 PM EDT, "@lbutlr" <kremels at kreme.com> wrote: >On 2018-03-21 (17:15 MDT), Dmitry Filonov ><filonovd at enders.tch.harvard.edu> wrote: >> Now the question is if there's any way to tell dovecot to rebuild

Hi, Is there an IMAP performance difference using Maildir between using version 3 and version 1 of the dovecot-uidlist (either dovecot 1.0.7 or 1.1.2)? It isn't entirely clear to me there is any difference as the filename may contain the size/vsize information. The servers will eventually be running 1.1.2 with the maildir_copy_preserve_filename turned on. I'm doing a batch migration

Hello Everyone: ????? Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically??? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he

Hello! I just joined the list and will be happy to help where I can in my limited experience, but also come to the table with a question. I think there's something I'm missing regarding shared mailboxes and ACLs, so I will describe my situation and see if I am understanding correctly (running Dovecot 1.1.10). I have read over the Dovecot Wiki many times and have scoured many forums but

Ever since I've migraded from courier pop3 to dovecot pop3 I'm constantly getting complains from users that went over system quota for short while and then their pop3 client downloads all messages again. I never happened with courier pop3. I think that dovecot does not handle dovecot-uidlist file safely so it can withstand such situations. rsync and other similar programs always writes to
