I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users. Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier? Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does? I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and improve performance. Are there any performance tweaks I

I created a new server for a webmail system because the old server crashed. When I created the server, I installed Dovecot and the old server had Courier. On the new server, I'm doing virtual users where the old one created system users. I moved all the folders over for all the users on to the new server and ran the Courier-Dovecot migration script. The files were created successfully with no

Hi all We migrated our IMAP server from Courier to Dovecot. The minor problem appeared: Dovecot LIST command now shows mailbox listing in some weird order. (I suppose, it is filesystem directory order) Previously, with Courier, it was sorted, i.e., the INBOX was the first, followed by other system folders. This is not a problem with our webmail, because it sorts folders by its own. But with some

Hello, I've been working to migrate to dovecot (debian stable: 1:1.2.15-7) from courier (debian old-stable: 4.4.0-2). I've setup everything and migrated a test user over to the new system, and ran the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script. The user is using alpine (the free version of pine) and their sort order changed on move to dovecot. Originally it was the default in alpine, which is to

Hi all. I'm making a case to use Dovecot over Courier and would like some feedback. I've searched the web extensively and have been unable to find any hard information regarding Dovecot's IMAP performance. I've got some pressure to use Courier but my gut tells me that Dovecot should be much faster. In particular, I will have typical users with mailboxes exceeding 10,000

I currently run postfix and courier on my mail servers with squirrelmail. The problem with courier is it seems to run so slow. The webmail takes forever to load if you have many mails. I have this set up in virtual domains with all longin and path info in an mysql database. I just joined the list and DID google before asking, hope this isn't a common question. With courier it looks for a

Hi everyone Been spending the whole day on the wiki and in the list archives on using dovecot for POP3 mail. I'd like to present my findings and ask for some feedback. Our current software setup: * Courier-IMAP running POP3/IMAP * Postfix MTA * MySQL backend for user and login info As for the system layout, it looks like this: * NFS server which is the same server that houses single

Dear friends, My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jun 18 16:38 . drwx------

Having FC3 systems and utilizing Dovecot, I have come to rely on some of the information I get from the daily logwatch run. Logwatch, by default, doesn't properly recognize dovecot's information in the messages file, but it is easy to tweak. The patch below will give you some statistics regarding POP3 and IMAP usage. I believe I grabbed all of the differences in the unified diff

Hi, After searching gmane.mail.imap.dovecot on the topic, and wiki.dovecot.org, I'm still clueless on how to use RFC 2087 quotas in dovecot with the quota plugin. How come no wiki doc? My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. Both the filesystem for INBOXes (/var/mail) and the user's home directories have filesystem-based quotas imposed. For example: % quota -v joeblow Disk quotas for

Greetings, I would like to migrate mailboxes into a Dovecot system by using an IMAP transfer from the old system - and I'd like this to take place automatically at the time the user first logs into the new system. I have a script which will perform an IMAP fetch and dump it into the local maildir. In courier-imap I could create a '.loginexec' file which is executed when the user

I'm trying to add webmail (IMP/HORDE) to my OpenBSD 3.5 mail server (Procmail/Amavid/SA/DCC/Razor/Dovecot 0.99.10.7), which means adding PHP and several other libraries. I'm building PHP 4.3 from the ports tree and, as per the IMP/HORDE readme files, added --with-imap to the makefile. Makeing PHP barfs with a "Cannot find rfc822.h. Please check your IMAP installation." error. I

Hi, We are building a new system that will support a large number of users (high volume, high concurrent usage, etc).? We have played with Dovecot, but in most serious applications we have traditionally used Courier IMAP.? It's my (lay) understanding that with indexing and perhaps other things in Dovecot, it might perform better than Courier in larger environments like this.? Am I correct or

>>"Never use a browser for email." I don't agree. In fact, using a browser for email or atleast initial setup, is actually more secure. This because SMTP/IMAP clients normally don't support 2FA, so you would have to "hack" a solution to enable 2FA for email. This can be made in 2 ways: Either, you have a full fledged email setup. Whats important, is, to prevent

Hi All, I am using dovecot-1.0.rc15 wth LDAP authentication configured. My webmail is Horde/IMP. While logging in, Horde gives `Unable to retrieve quota' message, instead of the usage report. capability string is: OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. There is no QUOTA shown

Hi List How do I merge files from one maildir into another maildir? Long version: I've been using dovecot/postfix for a 12 user environment for several years, and today was the first time I ran into an issue I could not solve from reading the documentation. The server is gentoo running on esxi. A few times a year I've made a snapshot of the server and copied the files to my home esxi

Hello, we are working in the migration from courier-imap to dovecot 2.2.10-4.el7_0.1.x86_64. Some emails that send a internal application show as sender "MISSING_MAILBOX at missing_domain", i use like email client Horde using dovecot like server. But if i open that email with Horde and courier-imap i can see the correct email sender. I think that the email of the sender is no correct

Dear All, We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met. 1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/ history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on

HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the
