I'm running squirrelmail on top of dovecot, and noticed that some of my users display the quota (using the squirrelmail plugin check_quota) and some don't. So I did some digging. For those that do not display the quota, their account also doesn't provide any data with: . getquotaroot inbox * QUOTAROOT "inbox" . OK Getquotaroot completed. When I check the account

Dovecot 1.1.8-0_85.el5 I'm seeing this set of messages repeat every 15 min. My best guess is the user tried to delete an imap folder and is failing?

I'm having problems getting dovecot to set imap quotas that are defined as individual quotas for virtual users using mysql. I'm using postfix/dovecot 1.1.3, just built from source about a week ago. I've been testing using telnet and getquotaroot. when I define the quota in dovecot.conf quota = dirsize quota_rule = *:storage=102400 I get the following response from Dovecot:

I just switched from the default postfix LDA to the dovecot LDA, deliver, and am looking into what new features I have. The wiki references the trash plugin with imap. Can I also enable trash with the lda? Rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

Hi! I'm running postfix with dovecot using mysql for user accounts, with Outlook being used as the IMAP mail client. I'm using a mail delimiter ("+") and mail automatically goes to a Spam folder as part of spam filtering with amavisd and spam assassin. It's configured so that folders won't automatically create; if the folder isn't there mail delivers to the

Running Dovecot 1.1.8 using Virtual users, multiple domains. My file structure is /var/spool/mail/<domain>/<user>/Maildir/ (cur, new,tmp,.Spam) What I'd like to do is add an ACL such that all users can read/delete/move mail that's in the spam folder, but not delete it. Am I going to have to create an entry for every single user, or is there a way to do it once, for all

Currently running Postfix/Dovecot1.1.8 with mysql storing the user data and delivering to folders as determined by dovecot using dovecot's "deliver" as defined in postfix's master.cf Mail location is determined by mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir If I have an account user1 at example.com it works just fine. However, when mail is sent to USER1 at

Currently I have a mail server running postfix and dovecot with users in mysql. I have Outlook (blich) clients checking IMAP mail on the server. I'd like to build some fault-tolerance into that system in case I have hardware failure. I've read through: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/SharedDisk but I feel I need more information. My basic understanding is that I'll need 2

Hi! I'm currently running Dovecot 1.1.8 on a HP server using CentOS 5.2 as my IMAP server, receiving mail from postfix, and also using squirrelmail as the frontend. As I look at upgrading the mail server, I'd like to change to a higher availability configuration (where the server can fail and I don't have to reconfig my imap users). For the SMTP that's easy, because I can

Hi! Using dovecot-1.1.17, and BDB-4.6.21. I'm having this error in every two weeks or so.
