I have a problem since a couple of hours: I manage several mboxes on a virtual server using Dovecot (over POP3). Until a few hours ago, it worked well, but since 11:50, the e-mail clients which access Dovecot's mailboxes, receive all e-mails new each time the mailbox is queried. For example: 15:40 fetches 22 new mails 15:41 fetches the same 22 mails again as new 15:42 fetches the same 22

Hi Timo, Awhile back I'd written about making changes to some of the log levels that dovecot writes to to stop the process from writing these to monitor. I wanted to run a few changes by you for this, just to make sure these won't cause problems somewhere else. And to send this to the list, in case anyone else wants to make similar changes in the future. In the file

Hi. I'm a dovecot newbie. I've set my pop client to leave messages on the server for 7 days. I'm downloading the same messages over and over as dovecot appears to be overwriting X-UID's in the mbox's. I can't think of any other program on the system that might write to the mbox other than postfix (and that program doesn't appear to be writing X-UID). My setup has one

Hi, I have had some problem with duplicate emails using dovecot1.0alpha5using the prebuilt testing binaries on a debian stable/testing 3.1system. I am running both pop3d and imap, but all users are just usingpop3d. I am using mbox format. Users are using Thunderbird 1.5 to access emails. Dotlocks are used,postfix is the email agent.

Here's an assertion failure that just happened. Unfortunately, I don't have a core file so this may be useless... This is with CVS version from 2005-11-03.

I've been doing some stress testing in the last few days and fixing all the errors I saw. I'm hoping that I've finally really fixed all the index/mbox problems. So, again I think the only thing left for v1.0 is the documentation. Please test this nightly snapshot before I'll release rc27 tomorrow: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz If you've seen any of the

Hi! I installed Dovecot from the FreeBSD port. I have about 20 users on this machine and used popper before switching.

Hi, I think the problem is in Dovecot. I'm using both Evolution and Thunderbird on a Gentoo box. One of my folders keeps locking up and the clients can't retrieve the messages. The situation appears to be triggered by trying to move a message into that folder. Deleting the index files (under /var/log/dovecot/xxx/) solves the problem (temporarily). I get these error messages in the

Hello Dovecot List, I am a bit of a sysadmin novice and this is my first time emailing, so please let me know if I have left some critical information out.
