Outlook cant delete folders
Hello,
It has been brought to my attention that outlook users cant delete
folders from their mailbox. They can move them around and erase
emails, but when it comes to folders, they cant.. Any ideas..?

getting rid of old spam from +spam Maildir ?
I'm trying to setup per user '+spam' delivery from amavis tags, so that
each user gets any mails tagged as spam to 'spam' Maildir via +spam
Dovecot lmtp delivery.
after say 7 days I want to delete all spams older than 7 days,
if I simply delete mail files from the file system, is that a 'bad thing' ?
what is a proper way to do that, and scripts ?

Mixing mbox and maildir
Is there some way to add a maildir folder to a mbox hierarchy? My folders
are all mbox, but I want to migrate some client-side mail from a client
(PMMail2000) that stores messages as individual files, and it might be
easiest just to dump all the files into a maildir directory with suitable
naming.

Denying authentication
Hello,
I've been running dovecot for over 3 years now and it works
with no problems. I have it setup so that it authenticates users against
Active Directory via LDAP and so far no problems.
What I would like to know is if there is any way that I
could deny access for users trying to access email via cellphones or email
clients outside the company. I can

Mixing MBOX and Maildir?
Is it possible to have some folders be mbox and some be maildir format?
Why you might ask? Sometime for diagnostics I have the Exim MTA archive
certain messages in MBOX format and then I want to copy them into an
imao folder to look at them with Thunderbird. When I used MBOX all I had
to do was copy the file into a folder and it worked. So what I'd like to
do is have a folder with a

Delete messages with archivemail
Hi,
I have set up a dovecot imap server (Version 1.0.15 on Debain Lenny).
Until know I used courier.
Every night I run a script calling archivemail (
http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/) to delete all messages in the Spam
folder that are older than 30 days
archivemail deletes the files directly in the Maildir folder. I am not using
IMAP for this (cause I don't want to store the passwords

mbox/maildir mixed setup with system/virtual mixed users
Hello Everyone,
I'm using dovecot 1.0.7 (not sure how relevant it is though)
configured to handle both sytem users and virtual users.
The system users are handled by default (PAM), while the virtual
users are handled pretty much like this:
passdb passwd-file {
args = /var/spool/vmail/%d/auth/%n
}
...And mailbox and folder location settings:
userdb static {

Silent migration from mbox to maildir?
Hi,
after migrating to a new hardware (which is soo soooo mutch faster than
the old one) I start to think about migrating from mbox to maildir.
I'v read some docs and wikies and some questions are unanswered or maybe
I skip the answers:
- Is it possible to migrate the mboxes "silent" e.g. if a user logs in
the mbox is converted?
- regarding the Namespaces wiki article, it is

INBOX as either mbox or Maildir
In Dovecot 0.99, I recall somewhere I read it was possible for INBOX to
be both a Maildir and an mbox in the same configuration (either
automatically detected, or depending on the existence in a different
location). Perhaps I was wrong, I'm not sure.
Any way, I now became interested in this sort of setup:
Most users have their spool an mbox in /var/mail/<username>, and then

Gmail style conversations
Hello,
I am wondering if there is any way to support Gmail style
conversation when using Dovecot? Someway of associating all inbound and sent
emails..?
I know that some clients let you display the emails in
"conversation" which kinda does what Gmail does, however, it does not
associate the Sent emails with it.
Thanks for any information.

Message mixing after switchover from mbox to maildir
Hi everyone,
Here is the story. We are running Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, and were
using Dovecot .99.x . At
one point, we chose to switch from mbox to maildir (and still use
Dovecot). After the switchover
our users reported a bug when using Thunderbird:
"A new behavior that I have observed a couple of times is that the new IMAP
server confuses email headers with content. E.g., I have an

Mixing mbox and maildir
Hi there.
I understood that in Dovecot 1.0 it should be possible to mix the usage
of mbox and maildir mailboxes.
I just downloaded, built, and am testing dovecot-stable-20050304.
I'm a bit confused as to the terms of namespaces (haven't read that
part of the RFC yet), but this does not seem related.
Anyway, when I try specifying:

Load Balancing and HA
Hello,
I've been thinking about the best way to achieve load balancing and making
my mail servers highly available. So far I believe I have 2 scenarios:
Scenario1: This should allow any to lose any of the servers and clients
still have access to their emails (although I am not sure how the indexes
would react to this and sudden disconnection)

MySQL as a storage only.?
Hello,
I was wondering is I could use MySQL as storage only..? Meaning that no
user information, other than the obvious email address associated with an
specific email so that each email can be showed to the right user, will be
stored in a MySQL database instead of /home/vmail/DOMAIN/<user>
Would I get any advantages.? Would it be better, faster?
Thanks
