Hi! I am currently in the process of preparing a migration of our old Courier-based IMAP/POP server setup to a Dovecot-based one. During this process I came across the following problem with the difference Courier and Dovecot handle deleted messages and mail quota. Quote from http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.maildirquota.html: ,---- | The default application configuration that uses this

Hi. Just switched to Dovecot from Courier last week and have been very pleased so far. The conversion was extremely painless, and I only hit a few small configuration issues before I was able to get the server up and running. Since then, I've been quite pleased - Dovecot's been very stable, and a good bit faster than courier as well. However, there's one nice feature from

Hi I try to migrate from courier to Dovecot. Is there a way to get the same behaviour of Courier-imap with dovecot, about expunged emails ? I though about using the Lazy-Expunge plugin. The problem with this plugin is the following: messages are moved and set to be deleted in the Trash Folder. I would like they weren't set to be deleted. Is there a way to mitigate the behaviour of this

I am moving a courier installation over to Dovecot and I am wondering if there is a way to set Dovecot to automatically move purged items to trash (under IMAP). Additionally, is there a way to automatically delete old items from a Trash folder? -David

Is there a way to have messages marked to be deleted move to the trash folder automatically? I have moved from courier-imap (which dovecot performs muck better) but the one feature I really need is move to trash. Is there any plugins available for this?

With Thunderbird 3.1 I can now "delete" a folder which moves it to Trash. But I cannot remove the folder in Trash. The following is from the Thunderbird log file: 248[6814c00]: 8103800:imap.kzone.ch:A:SendData: 64 rename "test10" "Trash/test10" 248[6814c00]: 8103800:imap.kzone.ch:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 64 OK Rename completed. 248[6814c00]:

For ISPs , one may want to give users the option to enable/disable the feature and perhaps give them a choice of dates.. ie Trash 7 days or 30 days. Spam 1 day or 7 days.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've configured Dovecot v1.0.0 with filesystem quota and to use hardlinks. Latter I use intentionally to save disk space and to achieve that an user can delete mails even if over quota and using the "Delete to Trash" feature.

Hi, I finally got a grip on our mail guys to try out Dovecot after they started migrating a ~15k user mailsystem to Maildir+NFS (Netapp)+Courier and the performance was not as good as expected. So far the results are impressive, although there are of course a few small issues to be solved. One is the current Quota handling, which they use with Courier IMAP and (still) think it needs to be

hi All, I have a problem, which makes me headache. I can't find out, what is the problem. I have a mail szerver, which works just fine as expected, TB move messages to trash folder after I delete it, and they are moved. I have an other server. If I delete a message, it doesn't move to the Trash folder. As deleted_to_trash plugin is installed, if I only mark messages as deleted, they

Dovecot will soon have a plugin which allows running a nightly cronjob to expunge mails from configured mailboxes which have been in there for a configurable amount of time. For example the configuration could be: plugin { # Trash 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 } It also supports using Dovecot's lib-dict to keep track of the mailboxes and their oldest mail's timestamp, so that

Hello Everyone: ????? When user got quota exceed and trying to delete mail.

Hello, I?m in the process of migrating a mail server to new hardware.

I?d like my users mailboxes (Maildir format) to look like this: Inbox UserCreatedSubFolder1 UserCreatedSubFolder2 ? Sent

Hello, Can this be done? configurable number of days? Like to move from courier, but this is the only thing we really need to convince us to change, it is no good telling users to periodically delete trash, they never listen :) Quey

Hello, all. I've recently switched over to Dovecot from a long stretch of using Courier IMAP, and there's one thing I don't have working that I'd quite like. With Courier I had a magic trash folder in which things I deleted would live for a specified amount of time, after which they'd be deleted. I see how to get the expiry behaviour I want, but not the magic saving-to-mailbox

Hello, We recently moved from courier to dovecot, and I'm seeing a handful of errors that prevent people from retrieving email.

I enabled the trash plugin yesterday, adding "trash" to mail_plugins, and configuring the plugin setting "trash = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf.ext".
