similar to: Move from 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7?

Hi, I just migrated from dovecot 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7, from Sparc platform to Intel, it went very well. In the process I merged folders and excluded folders from being copied. User rights on folders were kept/set. I thought I'd share my migration script with you folks. If there's an interest to put it on the wiki I can do that, but I'm not sure in what page. Use it as a starter if you

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it. TIA, Peter -- Peter Lindgren

Hi! Just updated to 1.0 rc15, but the problem remains. I think it could be client-dependent to some extent. I have only IMAPS access and Maildir. I have one mailbox which contains some 10,200 mails. That mailbox takes forever (have waited 30 minutes and then aborted) to open with Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. Other mailboxes (like dovecot :-), only 6984 mails) opens quickly. When Thunderbird tries to

Hi! I try to build a new 1.1.7 installation. Since I'm not a large sysadmin, just my own private mail server admin, I just wonder why the sysconf and state dirs defaults to $prefix? Maybe I'm old-school, but isn't /etc and /var, respectively, a better default than /usr/local? Should require two new variables in the configure script, though. (and yes, I know I set them with

Hi all, I'm having terrible time, and a lot of core dumps, building dovecot on Solaris 10. My environment: gcc 3.3.2 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto \ -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -ldb -L/usr/local/lib -lldap CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include \ -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include my configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ldap ...that is:

Hi! I received the following error (I ran ./configure and make without options) when running make install: Making all in auth make: don't know how to make db-ldap.h.

Hello! I was looking for some information about which signals I can send to dovecot to do various things, but I couldn't find it. Since it's a wiki, is it ok to just edit the pages, or should I post here first? I thought I'd check with Timo and you guys first, maybe I missed that page that describes the signals... If it's ok, I can edit or add a new page. /Peter -- Peter

Hello! I am switching hardware platform for my dovecot 1.0beta3 installation. From Sun Sparc (SS4) to Intel i386. OS platform will only change from OpenBSD 3.7 to 3.9. From Dovecot 1.0beta3 to beta8. Is there anything special to consider, in terms of endianness or other incompatibilities? I plan on a fresh install (compile) on the new machine, migrate the settings manually (by hand), test

Hello! I have a simple (I think) problem. I have had IMAPS working fine for a long time. Now I want to start to use IMAP and STARTLS, since my mobile SonyEricsson P900 can't use IMAPS directly. But I can't connect even locally to the IMAP port (143), no-one listens there according to netstat (*.imaps is in LISTEN state). I have the following settings in my /etc/dovecot.conf:

After sending a messasge about a problem (The folder 'Inbox' cannot contain items. Namespace problems) I found what seems to be a fix in the release for rc29. Besides any potential configuration files, do I need to delete the old index files? Any of the dovecot files? Based on the release notes for rc29 it seems the following will fix the problem we are experiencing: IMAP: LIST

Hi, probably just nothing to worry about, but I get the following warnings when building 1.1.7 on OpenBSD 4.4 on i386. If I remove the --with-bsdauth config option, they all disappear. I won't use it anyway, but maybe there are others. $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008 deraadt at i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R)

Hello! I have installed a new dovecot server on a new server, using imap and Maildir. The old Maildirs are accessible on a mounted disk. I have tried to copy a few folders manually, by first creating the folder on the new server through the a-mail client, and then copying the contents of the cur folder from the old to the new. Works fine, but is a manual process. I'm looking for a way to

Hi, Finally I managed to build (as ordinary user in my home dir) 1.0b2. (remember, I had problems with db-ldap.h disappeared after compile) What is the (simplest and) safest way to shut down dovecot on the live server and replace the running 0.99.14? I run OpenBSD 3.7 on Sparc. The last step would be 'make install', of course. To shutdown dovecot the last time I resorted to kill

Hi, I'm using Dovecot v1.0.beta5 (NetBSD 3.0, i386) and Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 (XP, i386). My dovecot.conf is pretty simple, because I just use dovecot for me as the only user. However, when I try to move a 'larger' amount of mails (>200) from my local TB-mbox to the remote IMAPS-storage, the process hangs after about 150 - 160 transferred mails (the 'blocking' mail

Hello, For those interested, I have released the NHW v0.3.0-rc29 new version. I continue to fine-tune the nhw_kernel weights.This new version has then more precision and a better visual quality. I have made a "deeper" visual review at -q14 compression setting which is "high" compression, and I find now that at this setting NHW has a competitive precision with AVIF and VVC.If

Anyone aware of a Web User Interface or GUI to allow users to create simple/common-type sieve scripts? I found the sieve testing and have used it as I play; plus mangesieve (and Net:ManageSieve.pm) but want to allow users to build so some clicking and maybe a little typing and then end up with some filters. So before I go invent this wheel I'd like to know what others are doing? TIA,
