similar to: OT: Looking for a robust IMAP client

I have been running a test DC IMAP server to evaluate the new release before migrating from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8. The test server access all the INBOX and homedir folder filesystems through NFS imports. The index file filesystem is local on both the production server and the test one.. This is messy in that when I ask some one tests using the test sever, the index has to be created or re-gennned,

Hi, I am new to dovecot and I am a bit confused with how namespaces/prefixes/separators are handled by the clients and dovecot... I tried to understand the desciption from the conf file but without success. With each conf I create the following path /f1/f2 on the client (thunderbird) and get the following on the dovecot server: PREFIX= and separator=/ => .INBOX.f1.f2 + .INBOXTrash

Don't know if anyone else uses Berkeley derived filesystem quota, but IBM's AIX does. A little over a week after migrating from UWIMAP to DC (with mbox format unchanged) everything is clean except for this one problem: When users go over quota, when they login the next time, the folder list is blank. You can imagine the panicked calls to the Helpdesk. If their quotas are raised or

Hi All, I setup Fetchmail and wanted to use Mutt to read e-mail. I used to use Pine and I just am sick of GUI e-mail clients these days. Bloat, complication and unreliable. Pine was my first ever e-mail client. I prefer to use POP still as I want may mail on my machine at all times. I can go into mutt and execute: 'fetchmail -v' and watch it bring down my e-mail. But in mutt i dont see

What should I expect performance-wise if I put 200000 messages in a Maildir store and use two or three MUAs (mutt and Thunderbird), on an Athlon dual core 2GHz with SATA drives in software RAID (Linux)? Like; would it be useless/crawling, usable or pretty fast. I imagine MUA startup / first time folder read would be slow, but daily use more or less ok. Thanks to Dovecot's indexing, I imagine

I'm getting tired of Thunderbird telling me I have unread messages in folders that haven't gotten new messages for months so I'm looking for a new mail client. I know the problem lies with Thunderbird because everything is fine via RoundCube and if it tell Thunderbird to rebuild it's index it shows the folder correctly again. Except of course for a subset of the messages in

We don't have enough arguments here.... <g> I see that thunderbird's deprecated for RHEL 7, and they recommend evolution. I've certainly had some annoyances in the last couple-three years with t-bird. So, what are people's preferred mail tools, other than t-bird (or maybe mutt or pine.... <g>)? mark

My users currently have mail delivered to mulitple MailDir locations via procmail. ~/mail/inbox/ ~/mail/graph/ ~/mail/spam/ I would like all these mailboxes to be exported via dovecot IMAP and appear as folders. However, I can't anything beyond the INBOX working. My approach is via 'namespaces'. My config file is changed thusly: $ sudo dovecot -n # 1.0.15:

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of

Hi guys, is there a very very simple .vimrc example to use with my gmail account? i couldn''t find it from uncle google. Please help, my thunderbird is becoming so slow with hundreds of thousands of email.. i don''t want to use it anymore, i want to use mutt. i''m using Mac OS X 10.4.5 (Tiger) and mutt (DarwinPort) Thank you very much for your help and sorry for this OT.

I have Dovecot 1.0.5 running imaps successfully with Postfix on Ubuntu. Authorization is by SASL. Currently, my mail client (mutt) requests a password to access my folders. I would like to configure Dovecot so that a user logged into the localhost (i.e., already authenticated) does not receive the password prompt. Remote logins should of course demand the authentication, but if I'm logged

I have been diligently reading about namespace in the DC doc and what I can find in Google. Like the blind men and the elephant, I see the nature of some individual bits of namespace, some syntax and the overall purpose (overriding defaults and providing extensions), but I don't see the whole thing and how it is used. I am looking to do some maildir testing in what is a mbox default

Which email clients support SMTP/IMAP via STDIN&STDOUT of proxy command? I would like to be able to use local and remove dovecot to access maildir *without* running dovecot daemons. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi at onet.eu If the future navigation system [for interactive networked services on the NII] looks like something from Microsoft, it will never work. -- Chairman

My production DC machine owns the mail filesystems and is running DC V1.0.15 and mbox folder format. I am looking to test V1.1.3 on another machine, which NFS mounts the mail filesystems, but has its own local index FS. I have made this test environment my default connection in TBird, and it seems to work just fine. Also, I have made sure that my TBird client isn't connecting to the

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to use Thunderbird as a local mail reader. So far I don't see any way to configure it other than as a POP3 or IMAP mail reader, but I get my mail locally and would like to try using Tbird to read it. What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ------------------------ ---- Do you

Hi I'm using dovecot on a LAN server. I sometimes read mail from the server itself locally with mutt and sometimes remotely with mutt or mozilla . I would like to avoid typing my password whenever necessary but without writing a plain-text equivalent copy of it locally. It feels quite silly to have to type the password locally becase the imapd does not know that the process is indeed a

I've got a user with an unusable account. Tbird just sits in a loop endlessly logging in over and over when a particular folder is selected. What files under .imap associated with that folder can be safely deleted? What's stored in all of them? I see all of these: .customflags dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log .imap.index .imap.index.data .imap.index.log

This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask because... :) I've got dovecot installed and running successfully on OpenBSD 3.9 (this *really* was an easy setup, my hat's off to the developer(s)). And the other employees can now use MS Access to read their mail (they didn't like mutt and pine via SSH - go figger'). So my final challenge is to get things configured so that
