hello, i have a problem with my dovecot installation. sometimes, the thunderbird clients on windows machines complains about: "server is not imap4 compatible". on the server, at the same time, i found this error: Apr 20 16:21:17 harlock dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down: rip=192.168.0.194, lip=10.70.0.1, TLS handshake the imap server is behind a dmz which sometimes

Hi all, actually I got a problem with the namespaces in dovecot 1.1 beta11. It occured after purging index files and resynch via imapsync. Dovecot complains about "Unknown namespace", though it worked with versions before. I cannot comfirm for 1.1beta10, but I surely know 1.1beta9 worked with these settings. Example: From Folder [INBOX/Trash] To Folder [___________] To Folder

Currently running 1.0.2 with 1.1b1 listening on a different port. On first pop3 login on 1.1b1 I received an immediate disconnect (I was testing with telnet) with the log entries below. Subsequent logins work fine. Other accounts that I tried did not have the same problem. So this is probably isolated to some bad indexes or something, but I thought I should let Timo know. Regards, David Here

Hey everyone... Thanks in advance for any help. I seem to have the opposite problem that a lot of people have - I've been running Dovecot v. 1.0.10 quite successfully for IMAP for several months. However, one of our executives has her heart set on being able to get her mail via POP3. It looks to me like I have both configured, but when trying to log in via a POP3 or POP3s connection

Hi, I'm wondering, whether it's possible, to define an ACL on the mailbox itself. We use Dovecot 1.2.15 (included in Debian 6) and maildir filesystem layout: /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/cur Inbox /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/tmp / /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/cur folder1

I am getting random disconnects from my imap session, dificulties to revconnect, very sluggish behaviour when changing between mail folders also frequent and rapidly repititive messages on te client "mailserver x.x.x.x is not a imap4 server" I am running dovecot 1.0.rc2 from ports on OpenBSD 4.0 on a PIII, 500MHz 512MB My set up is very small - a webserver with a single imap account on

Using imapsync I changed many ACLs on many accounts simultaneously in four concurrent IMAP-sessions. I started with an empty file "shared-mailboxes". But after the sync the file "shared-mailboxes" has been crashed. I found broken lines and I'm missing some entrys. Is it possible that there's no filelocking on that file? I used the ext3 filesystem. That's

I have recently installed dovecot on a FreeBSD mailserver running postfix. But when I try to login with imap/pop3, I always get an error "stat failed: Not a directory". I guess it is something wrong with the mail format postfix uses to store the message, but I don't seem to find the correct solution. Here's the postfix log with the successful delivery: Feb 17 08:58:24 mailsrv2

Is anyone running v 1.2.3 and have clients with AVG email scanning? I upgraded a server a few weeks ago (which ran Dovecot and the Maildir mail store), and all of a sudden clients with AVG were unable to use POP. Essentially, AVG freezes. The server upgrade was from FreeBSD 7 to OpenSolaris 2009.06, and I did upgrade the Dovecot version from 1.1.17 to 1.2.3, but kept the same config.

Everyone, I am having an issue with getting anonymous ssl ciphers disabled in dovecot. I have googled like crazy to find the solution with no help.

Hi, we are facing some weird performance issues after we upgraded on of our mail servers to a new Opteron 64bit machine. The problem we are facing is that mail retrieval from external clients is incredibly slow. Fetching a mail with say a size of 3MB takes 7 minutes vs. sending exactly the same mail back to our postmaster account is only a question of seconds. I've verified this with

I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command =

Hi List, I of present dovecot 1.1.10 use it, and test dict quota backend and mysql. However, I am troubled so that it is IMAP4, and behavior when mysql fell is different from POP3. I become the error in Copy of Mail in IMAP4, but do not become the error in DELE of the POP3. Therefore I think that contradiction happens in database and real storage when mysql fell. I want an error to do it at the

When stressing dovecot's delivery agent, I sporadically encountered the following assertion failures and the associated errors. I was trickling in ~50 messages per minute to this mailbox via postal.

Hi dovecot masters, This is my first post here, since I desperately need some advices from the dovecot community. I've tried to get an answer on the Apple Forums but til now no luck....here we go: I've tried to sync our users emails (Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with dovecot 1.1.20-apple0.5) via imapsync to our new server by using the masterusers authentication method on the old

Hi, we have recently been hit by a couple of brute force password attacks against dovecot. So what I want to do now is to add dovecot to fail2ban in order to block further attacks. However, I don't seem to be able to find out password verifification failures for our LDAP based user data. The only thing I see are loads of lines like these in the logfiles: -------CUT------- dovecot: Nov
