0.99 mail env
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

problems building / starting test40 + test42
Hi
I was trying to build test40 (and then test42, since it came out in the mean
time) on my fresh Solaris 9 box at home, and ran into a few snags.
First problem was during the build. Make spat the dummy in the auth directory:
Making all in auth
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 701: Unexpected end of line seen
Current working directory /home/pkg/dovecot-1.0-test42/src/auth

customflags and keywords
OK. After checking the 0.99->1.0 migration documentation, it seems I've been a
little confused between customflags and keywords. (Though this is partly due to
my repeated requests for clarification being ignored.)
The page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot) says 1.0 does not
use .customflags any more. Now, I'm hoping they're still supported, in which

Unused SQL API
Greetings,
recently I've been writing a database driver module for Dovecot to use SQLite.
It's mostly for my own use, but I do recall other people have asked for this.
Firstly - Timo, I grow to love your work more and more every day. :) I have
not had any trouble figuring out what is needed of the driver, even without any
API documentation.
However, the one part of the driver

Compressed maildir
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

samba3 upgrade misery
Greetings, all
We've been running samba2 for far too long - I'd just never found the time to
upgrade, and it wasn't a priority since it WORKED. Our little Solaris9/SPARC64
box happily served our few gigs of files to 20 users, and played the part of a PDC.
Then I upgraded CUPS, and discovered samba2 doesn't like cups-1.2 libs, and
figured it was as good an excuse to make the

Stale configure options...
Does the GNUTLS support in Dovecot currently work? Last I saw it was quite
stale, and broken.
If it doesn't work, should it perhaps be removed as an option from the configure
script?
... just a thought.

Two "pre-migration" questions
I have read the migration docs. They seem to relate to migrating from one
imap product to dovecot on the same server. I'm interested in migrating my
Maildir-formatted email from one server to another.
1. Can I tar my ~/mail directory on serverX.com, untar it on a different
physical serverY.com (initially with a different domain name), and still see
my mail when I access imap.serverY.com

dovecot with Calendar or Contacts?
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.

Errors running imaptest with dovecot-1.1.1
Hi,
I've been trying some benchmarks to compare 1.0 vs 1.1 -this is the easiest
way to explain the move to my boss-, so I've compiled dovecot 1.1 and
imaptest-20080627 in my secondary machine running RHEL4, with homes in NFS,
indeces in local files and control files also in NFS.
Then I've created 100 new users imaptest001-imaptest100, and set the password

[LLVMdev] is anyone using the sparc backend?
Chris,

We can not let it die and I volunteer to keep the Sparc alive!

Shared namespaces - solved
Heh heh heh. Whoops.
I've spent a few hours digging around in the source and nearly posted a kludge of a patch I'd written to give a kind of half-baked attempt at getting group-usable subscriptions files. Then I came across something in the source........
In the config file, do something like the following:

separator = /
prefix = Public/

Shared namespaces
Hi all,
I'm trying to replace the "Public Folders" functionality in Exchange server. At first I thought it'd be something easily do-able with an IMAP server so I immediately thought of Dovecot. I setup what I though would work and things started to go a little screwy with subscription settings and the like.
I started off by making a public maildir folder (in

Problem with dovecot and system crashing
Hi all,
I am running dovecot on a linux server (FC3) in conjunction with
Sendmail. My configuration is quite vanilla and I am having the
following problem: occasionally (once every 3-10 days) the dovecot
server will become unresponsive and attempting to access mail via pop3
will produce an error message on the client side.
As best as I can tell, the dovecot process dies because if I restart

writing an MDA, help me avoid corrupted indexes
Hello.
First, I want to thank those responsible for Dovecot IMAP as it was a
real treat to implement in comparison to my mostly-failed attempts with
Cyrus. The passwd-file authentication was exactly what I needed as I
really didn't want to have to deal with PAM or LDAP but where I am
setting up a server with virtual accounts.
I'm using Postfix as an MTA, and it quite handily passes

uw-imap and gnu-pop3d to dovecot transition/replacement
Hi
I am trying directly to replace old uw-imap + GNU pop3d with Dovecot.
Problems I am having with new (1.0-stable 22.02.2005) are:
- How to get SSL working with new config?
imaps_listen doesn't exist anymore.
cannot add protocol imaps for some reason.
- need to get Dovecot run on another port the test-phase, ie 144 for
imap, 994 for IMAPs
- need to use .mailboxlist (modified the source

Dovecot imap with Postfix and using Thunderbird as client
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

unofficial Survey about your Dovecot server :) to compare with my own server setup...
Hi Borthers/Sisters
Thanks for all the developer(s) and for all the hard work spent on build
this great piece of software! I loved Dovecot since it is really easy to
set up and really fast but I am really new to it (only 2 weeks and
half). Right now, our server configuration is:
Server: Apple Xserve G5 dual
RAM: 4GB
Number of Users: ~ 150 IMAP only users
Authentication: LDAP
Mailboxes sizes:
