dovecot cannot drop privileges inside singularity container
Hi all
I'm facing an issue while running dovecot inside a singularity
(https://sylabs.io/singularity/) container
dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (configuration below) running on debian
buster, inside a container made with singularity version 3.4.2
unfortunately, when I try to start dovecot, it gives:

ITERINDEX not showing subfolders.
# 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Hello, we're using mail on NFS and the indexes on localdisk, with a
director setup. (18K+ users) now to get more performance i thought to use
the ITERINDEX option. however this has the side-effect on some mailboxes
that it doesn't show the subfolders under INBOX.
they seem 'disappeared'. Removing the ITERINDEX option fixes this

Delayed flags changes over IDLE
Hello,
I'm experiencing slow flags changes over IMAP IDLE:
- If I start an IDLE session / command
- Change the flags of some messages via another email app
- Dovecot can take a minute or more to notify the IDLE connection about flags changes
If I use another email app to add or remove a message, Dovecot sends that (EXISTS / EXPUNGE) instantly and also flushes the (so far delayed) flags

Sieve replication - does not replicate
Hi,
I have two servers replicating mail as required, the directory structure
(per user), however they will not replicate the sieve scripts directory:

Sieve-scripts won't replicate
Hi,
I am trying to use dovecot replication for a two-way sync. And whatever
I do, sieve-scripts won?t replicate. Mails replicate near
instantaneous. When I disable the sieve-script in roundcube, the other
server will create in the home of the user on the other side a folder
sieve/tmp but enabling won?t create the roundcube.sieve and the
symlink .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/roundcube.sieve

Setup changes 1.x to 2.x -- custom POP3 account handling required.
Hi,
Previously I did /special/ processing for some email accounts; if a
particular file existed in the user's home directory, then I caused the
account to use /var/mail/$USER file for POP -- otherwise it used IMAP.
Now, because I adjusted the setup for POP only, IMAP still worked
perfectly well. Some users have both POP and IMAP access for various
reasons.
The special POP processing was

Duplicate mails with pop3 + dsync replication
Hi,
When I enable (and it only happens when it is actually running) replication over TCP my users get duplicate mails via pop3.
Here?s what happens:
* User gets mail
* Mail appears in (Maildir) new/ folder on both replicas
* user retrieves mail (retr), calls dele. Mail still exists in new/ folder on both replicas.
* user runs retr (and gets the duplicate) and dele a second time, the mail is

Bug: Dovecot appending "MISSING_DOMAIN" to fetch envelope responses
Hi all,
I'm seeing Dovecot include the string "MISSING_DOMAIN" in fetch
envelope requests when an mailbox's `addr-spec` part does not have a
`domain` part.
For example:

> S: * 5 FETCH (UID 40 ENVELOPE ("Sat, 15 Aug 2020 12:53:05 +1000"

passwd-file, getting invalid uid 0
Per my earlier post about system and virtual users, I have everything working, but I'm seeing the
following message, and wondering:
1) does it matter?
2) is there a way to suppress it?
I have an Exim /etc/aliases entry that sends root to me.
