similar to: 1.1.1, mbox_snarf and duplicate messages

Hello, I'm currently running 1.1.20 and I'm planning to upgrade to 1.2.10 I've read carefully the wiki page "Upgrading Dovecot v1.1 to v1.2" and a few messages concerning mail_location parameter but I still don't know what to change in my configuration in order to keep it working after the upgrade. I'm using mbox format and mbox_snarf plugin. dovecot -n :

Hello, I'm running revision 10622:de9d6dae7fe5 on AIX 5.3 with some local mods for our inbox hash function. I'm having a problem doing a "select inbox" when I use the mbox_snarf plugin. When I run truss on the process I see the following stat calls: 614528: kread(9, " 1 s e l e c t i n b".., 4096) = 15 614528: statx("/gpfs/inbox/14/tstem38",

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of both

Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the inbox file doesn't have a directory for the user

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server

From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file: # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu ... # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. #

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and moves them over fine.

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u

Good Morning! I have problems with setup imap quota with mailboxes on nfs I use dovecot 2.0.11, below dovecot.conf + extract from log: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmsave # OS: Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) mail_plugins = acl quota zlib trash auth_cache_size = 8 k dotlock_use_excl = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_nfs_index

I just installed dovecot 1.0alpha4 on a very busy RHEL4 server with about 1300 users. So far so good, except for the dreaded duplicate emails in outlook for users who use POP3 and have "leave message on server" selected. After searching the archives I found that this is usually related to the UIDL format. The example in the .conf file is this: / # If you want UIDL compatibility

I am migrating from UW's POP3 server (mbox), to Dovecote (mbox -> maildir). Anyway, I am concerned about the Logging details offered by Dovecot, as I manage several details from the logging information provided by UW's Syslog information. Here's a sample of the UW information: Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: pop3 service init from 66.207.133.233 Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6

I'm trying to setup deliver as an LDA for system users. I've read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail which handles virtual users. I don't see a README for what I need. I want sendmail to accept the mail and then hand off to deliver with sieve plugin. Deliver should look in the users home directory which is found in /etc/passwd for the sieve-script to see what to do with it.

Hi, I am having problems with Dovecot 1.0.3 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 when using a new user account without any mbox files present. Directory /home/$user/.imap_mail/ does not exist when Thunderbird first tries to login using IMAP to the account. On login this directory is created with a zero byte Trash file and .subscriptions containing string "Trash", so far, so good. Now I create a

We recently moved all our users from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot. There has been a substantial improvement in performance, but some users are reporting duplicate messages, and we see 'Stale NFS file handle' errors in the syslog. Does anyone know what would cause this ? The errors relate to the index file, eg. Nov 29 00:49:47 imap-e.ucl.ac.uk dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error]

Hi, I'm migrating a uw-imap installation to dovecot. With uw-imap I had different SSL certificates and keys for ipop3d and imapd. How can I configure dovecot to do the same with its pop3s and imaps services?

Hi, Whenever I create a new email user, telnet fails until an email is sent to that user to create his mbox. This is the error that it gives. Anyone know how to fix this? I could create the email account script to touch the users mbox, but I havn't needed to do this in the past with ipop3d and dovecot on a different server. [root at mail log]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Best Dovecot devs, We moved from UW-imap&pop3 to Dovecot this morning (~500 accounts) and reduced our traffic from the home directory server to the imap server bigtime: | 22 Nov| 0.1 0.8| 0.0 0.0| 0.4 0.5| 1550.6 42.9| 1557.3 67.9| | 23 Nov| 0.3 1.0| 0.0 0.1| 0.4 0.6| 1331.8 37.3| 1337.2 46.3| | 24 Nov| 0.0 0.4| 0.0 0.0|
