Dovecot 1.1 significantly faster than 1.0
It appears to be that 1.1 is a lot faster that 1.0. And server load levels have dropped.

OT: Counting emails in IMAP folders
Greetings I have a customer who has mail server running dovecot with an IMAP account (Customers) which contains hundreds of folders (one per customer). Looks like this: Customers Fred Smith and Co Joe Blogss Cust-1 Cust-n They have a requirement to report monthly on the total number of emails added to each customers' folder during the month. Basically I need to be

download IMAP folders via POP3
Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

Trash for lda
Hi, I was wondering if there is a solution to the case when the user can't recieve emails because of being over quota, something like http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Trash, but for the lda, not the imap?

verbose_proctitle doesn't work?
How is verbose_proctitle supposed to work? I set it in the config but I don't see anything particularly verbose while the mailbox is connected. This is while the connection is open, immediately after deleting a message, before closing the connection. Same for IMAP and POP tests. # `ps axu | grep dove` # root 20392 0.0 0.0 1888 540 ?

UID/GID changed
I have a problem with Dovecot 1.1.6 after having reset the UID/GID information for a few email accounts.

Time moved backwards ....
OK.. So I synced the clock.... and got .... dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're back in present. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards ( The first time I did this the clock moved backwards 2 hours after a timezone change and dovecot suicided ) I think I understand the concept ... However a mail server should probably be synchronized to the

GETQUOTAROOT (part 2)
Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize

dovecot performance
Hello All, I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system and I got a little worried about an aspect of the dovecot's design. I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection. Talking in the #dovecot channel I was gave a scenario of a system supporting ~40k users with 4 servers

Staged migration from mbox to maildir
So much changes in this migration that the ideal way to do it would be to begin with a few users or a department, then migrate the users affinity group by affinity group: first an institute or so, then the faculty, then the staff, then the students, moving to bigger and bigger groupings as the bugs work out of the migration and the move becomes more assured. We use sendmail and procmail.

Script: Moving Maildirs between servers
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

Apple patches 6-8
Here are a few more patches. Still keeping it easy for now. Again the basis for these patches is dovecot-1.1.7. Patch #6. Solve a cross-compilation endianness issue. Currently, Dovecot assumes that the endianness of the build system is the same as the endianness of the runtime system. This is not necessarily true. We ran into this while compiling for i386 on a ppc machine. The

mailutil?
dbox format needs at least two tools: 1. Expunging only marks the message having refcount=0. The actual disk space is freed only after calling a tool pointing to the user's dbox dir. 2. Ability to force index resync/rebuild in case it doesn't figure out itself that there's something wrong. I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe something similar

OT: Looking for a robust IMAP client
This weekend we had a runaway email endless loop. When it was killed after 18 hours, my inbox had 135,000 messages in it...there were two messages that were being endlessly sent and bounced and I'm on the postmaster alias. Thunderbird was able to do a mass select of one of the two messages, and deleted 65,000, but after that it locked up. I ended up firing up Pine to do the final

Question about Maildir automatic cleanup.
Hi! I want to automatically delete old messages from one user's Maildir, and I was thinking on running something like this: find /home/user/Maildir/cur/ /home/user/Maildir/new/ -daystart -mtime +15 -delete but I'm not sure if by deleting messages "manually" I will break the dovecot.index* files. What do you think? Thanks! Ildefonso.

Making shared folders "unmovable"
I have set up an area of shared folders with Dovecot 1.2 that is accessed by several people (by way of one account, and everyone who logs in sees these same folders), and the only problem with this setup is that occasionally somebody moves one of the folders underneath another folder or somewhere else in the folder structure, and this sometimes disrupts some automatic procmail filters and the

Question about "extracting" unwanted e-mails from mdbox
Imagine the following scenario Last Saturday, 3:00 AM a big phishing attack hits our e-mail inboxes. Spamassassin does not mark them as spam, and our 50.000+ users have in their mdbox a very credible phishing attack. What doveadm-fu could I use to delete (or move to spam) that e-mail from each user INBOX (let?s imagine the Subject or a Header is known)? I repeat: already delivered e-mail, how

Single-instance storage is bad for you!
This single-instance storage is going to encourage bad habits! I just found myself preparing an e-mail that needs to be sent to multiple recipients - including several within my own organization - yet it's not necessary for everyone (in-house) to get the large attachment. As I was getting ready to split the message into two parts for distribution I remembered - I can just send it to
