similar to: Upgrade To New Version

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of the mysterious fix to this problem that Curtis describes in his followup: "I vaguely remember something like this, but I don't recall the fix" I recently installed dovecot on a server running RHEL4-AS-U2 and have updated to RHEL latest dovecot package, dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1. Seeing as this is close to the version Curtis is running

Hi all, About a week ago I was forced to migrate my main (production) email server from RH9 to Centos4.1. The installation has dovecot-0.99.11 + postfix-2.1.5 and >600 mbox accessed email accounts. Number 1. Some users accessing thru squirremail (installed in my webserver) can read their INBOX at /var/spool/mail directory but when trying to delete a message they receive the following error

So, I _finally_ got the time to upgrade from 0.99.14 ... which I told myself I'd upgrade from once 1.0 was released... (yep, I've been _that_ busy :) So I read the Wiki page on 0.99->1.0 transition, and went through the config file - for all of about 5 or 10 minutes. I logged in at 11pm when nobody else should be using it, restarted dovecot with the new version, and logged in.

Hi all, I cannot get Thunderbird 0.8 to work with my dovecot IMAP server. It works fine with my work IMAP account - I'm not sure what they are using. What happens is that folders that I create in Thunderbird or Evolution can only contain subfolders or messages, not a combination of both. Folders which contain subfolders and not messages show up in Thunderbird grayed out. I can expand them

Hi there, I have two questions: - Is there a dovecot documentation for developers (apart from the source itself)? - In the site I am concerned with, it happens very often that one

When I attempted to import my Contacts list into dovecot, my mail client told me that the IMAP server did not support "Special" folders. Is there a way to to do the contacts, or sync up Contacts & Calendar from a database or something else? I'm using both Thunderbird and Outlook. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello Jean-Marc and all, I recently had a talk with somebody about CELP. He said, there is this federal standard 1016 (4.8kbps) with a reference implementation of the Department of Defense (only on Sun, unfortunately, if I got this right). This one is noticed in the manual already. He also said, since there is this implementation of the DoD, nobody would voluntarily re-implement CELP. If I read

I'm using the standard Dovecot 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4, with a Maildir++ mailbox. I've noticed what I think is an oddity in the way dovecot handles messages: According to the Maildir specification, a message in Maildir/new is a truly new message, which has not yet been touched by any reader. From an IMAP viewpoint, such a message should have the flag RECENT. However, if a message exists

Greetings, all Last night I migrated our mail between two machines... both running dovecot 0.99.xx. In the process, I wanted to make some small changes, namely that new mail be delivered to mboxs in /var/mail/%u and IMAP mail stored in Maildirs at ~/.imap ... I tried using: default_mail_env = maildir:~/.imap/:INBOX=mbox:/var/mail/%u But had no luck. Is it only 1.0 that can work with two

Hi, I just recently installed dovecot, and I am having the following problem: If I send an email to my account on this new machine, I can log in via SSH and use the unix mail command, and instantly my email is visible. If I turn on Thunderbird, it will show my new message. If Thunderbird was already on and had already checked the mailbox, even if I click on get new mail for that specific

Hi all, I use dovecot 0.99.14-1 Can I change the default Dovecot IMAP Trash folder from .Draft to .Drafts? Dovecot make a .Draft folder and my e-mail clients (Thunderbird - Outlook Express) makes .Drafts folder. Thanks Marco

Hi Folks OK - I'm ready to upgrade my version .99.11 to the latest release candidate but I haven't a clue how to do that on a live mail server without potential disruption. Can anyone help with advice on the best way to do this? CentOS latest release Running Sendmail/Procmail/Dovecot Thanks Chris

Hi all, I'm working on setting up dovecot on a test system. When I try to start dovecot I get this error: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 504: Expecting '=' Line 504 in my config is this: auth default { passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf

Hi, it's not yet a bug report, just a question: After I was successfully using dovecot-imap and Thunderbird for quite a while without any problem (debian unstable), I now sometimes experience that the IMAP-connection hangs and thunderbird waits forever when accessing a folder. I did not yet analyze the problem and I am not sure whether it is a thunderbird or a dovecot problem. Did anyone

Hi there, anyone interested in Debian Dovecot 1.0.1 packages? I have created a package for etch/stable... Could do that for sarge/oldstable as well. Greets, Maurice.

Hello! I'm trying the Dovecot as IMAP server, so I have one problem: I can log in to server, but nothing appears in mailclient and following message appears in log: imap(user): Feb 08 20:36:34 Fatal: We couldn't drop root group privileges dovecot: Feb 08 20:36:34 Error: child 21356 (imap) returned error 89 What could be wrong? Thanks for your answer. WBR, Paul.

Hi, Mac mail (a horribly mis-behaved client, it seems), has a horribly hard time deleting/copying large blocks of messages from one folder to another. The basic symptom is: 1. Select a bunch of messages 2. Click on delete 3. Wait for a _very_ long time. It also seems very slow on copying, so it may be the "trash folder copy on delete" that is really slowing it down. Anybody else seen

Greetings, I noticed a while back someone posted a patch/plugin that allowed Dovecot to use compressed mbox files. I'm now wondering how far that would put us from having compressed maildir? I have a server with more CPU than disk space, and while I can buy more HDD space, my backup solution doesn't make that practical. It seems to me that when looking for a message file, if it
