Hi, I tried the FTS (and FTS Squat) plugin today, and it works as advertised. But: On my 13000 folders with 160000 mails maildir I use for testing, the speed increase is not as big as one would wish (it still takes several minutes to complete a search). Is my assumption correct, that there is no way to do a search over a big IMAP folder hierarchy in a reasonable amount of time, because each

Hi, after having moved a big mail archive to IMAP, I've now got the following problem: The MUA asks to send an MDN on all those old messages that contain the 'Disposition-Notification-To' header when opened. I'd like to set the $MDNSent flag on those (>10000 in a deeply nested directory structure) mails. After having read http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir I wrote a

Hi, I got a complaint from a user today, that a few mails "disappeared" from her Inbox, both when accessing via IMAP with Thunderbird and in the IMAP Webmail client (RoundCube Webmail, caching deactivated). Searching (in Subject or From header) within the Inbox turned up the missing messages though. After checking all relevant client settings (filter rules etc.), restarting

My dovecot is currently configured to authenticate vs. a userdb/passdb passwd-file that contains, for each user: username:passhash:5000:5000::/path/to/home::userdb_mail=/path/to/maildir Is it possible to let users authenticate and change their passwords? There are some webmail client add-ons that allow such things if users are system accounts or in a

Hi, currently most people store their messages in some sort of folder hierarchy, so that they can find them later easily. Here, for example, mails that are connected to a project are being stored in /CompanyName/ProjectNumber folders. Now I was wondering if there is any reason against using tags instead of a folder hierarchy, because tags are better when it comes to mails that belong to

Hi, I have been experimenting with the Virtual mailboxes plugin [1] recently. This is my setup: the following dovecot-virtual file exists in a virtual mailbox called "todo": ------ dovecot-virtual ------ * -Trash -Trash/* -Spam -Spam/* OR KEYWORD $TODO KEYWORD todo ----------------------------- so if any mail in any mailbox except Trash+Spam has the keyword "$TODO"

Hi, while a user is searching through his (1.2 GB, >150000) mails, I get a lot of these messages in the log, and the search (with Thunderbird) doesn't finish: Jun 19 14:35:45 stshamail1 dovecot: Panic: IMAP(username): file message-parser.c: line 620 (preparsed_parse_body_init): assertion failed: (offset >= ctx->input->v_offset) Jun 19 14:35:45 stshamail1 dovecot:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, K-9 Mail (on Android) has been mentioned on this list multiple times recently, I think it's definitely an IMAP client "on the rise". :) It supports IMAP IDLE, and so brings "push mail" to Android mobile phone users. To bring this into the context of this mailing list: I guess a lot of people on this list are making use of

Hello Dovecot users, Not much Sieve development was done in the last five weeks, but some important platform-dependent bugs were found and repaired. The main new feature is the addition of a custom Sieve language extension for debugging in the Sieve command line tools. Changelog Sieve v0.1.4: * Started work on the sieve-filter tool. With this command line tool it will be possible to

Im trying to clarify if I understand correctly about authorizing users. "The simplest login method is sending the user login info in plain text and allowing access only to users that already have UNIX access (ie. in /etc/passwd) to the machine dovecot is running on." Im using fetchmail postfix dovecot on my own personal computer to get my mail from two servers. What Im wanting to

This may have been asked before - if so I apologize. Some mail clients - like Thunderbird - can provide a virtual folder or "saved search" to provide a list of mails that match certain criteria. Obviously, unless special client-side caching is implemented - which Thunderbird (my own client of choice) - does not, generation of these folders take time. Does Dovecot have any

Custom imap flags (like $label1, $label2 in mozilla TB) don't saved in maildir after upgrade to 1.1.10. In logs no errors obout this. With mailbox custom flags works OK. -- Anton Yuzhaninov

At this point I don't think I can do anymore damage to my mail server but I'd like to know if anyone else is using the pre-built RPM files from ATrpms before I install them? http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.1.11-0_90.el5.i386.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-sieve-1.1.6-9.el5.i386.rpm Or is there a dovecot-sieve for 1.0.7 from the rpmforge repo? I haven't found it yet but

Hello fellow dovecot users! I have a question for you guys. I have a server running dovecot/exim and I allow both pop/pops and imap/imaps. When I look at the running processes, I see a lot of imap processes that look like the following: imap [user at domain.tld USER_IP] Sometimes, there are duplicates imap [user at domain.tld USER_IP] processes. I was wondering, how come those processes

Hello, Currently, on our new test server, I am offering IMAP on 143 and POP3 on 110. We would like to enable security on both of these protocols to attempt to eliminate the risk from an internal password-grabbing/content-grabbing attack. I presume this would mean enabling SSL, and a more securure authentication, right? Or are plain text passwords just sent over the SSL, and therefore perfectly

Hello people, I used primarily mutt and sendmail for many years. (And elm before mutt.) All my mail was saved into ~/Mail. Messages from, say, smith at foo.ber were stored in ~/Mail/smith; all mail from smith was catenated into one file, and if I wanted to find something that smith had written, I would just cd to ~/Mail and grep or egrep on a likely word or phrase. Is there a script

Hi there, I've been rewriting the courier-dovecot-migrate script to handle dovecot->courier conversions in addition to courier->dovecot. One issue I've found is that when the courier->dovecot conversion is performed a second time (using --overwrite) and the dovecot-uidlist file is written again, Dovecot starts generating errors when accessing the maildir. The simple

Hi, We are using gmail (google apps) across our company with most users using outlook (windoze) or evolution (linux) and imap/pop based on user preference. We are having issues in that our internet links are fairly slow and when users download mails they get frustrated with the time it takes and often get timeouts and issues where outlook fails to fetch a mail yet gmail thinks it was retrieved -
