Is there anyway to make dovecot create Sent, Draft, etc folder automatically? Or is this the job for a MUA?

I am planning to shut down my own Dovecot server and start using the other Dovecot server I am administering together with a friend.. And I was thinking that I don't want to copy the emails I have on my server so I want to start from scratch on the other server.. But I would like to be able to look at the old emails if I need to, so was wondering if there is a way to do this without using an

I have configured a new server and copied the dovecot-sql.conf file that works a different server to the new server... But when Dovecot tries to connect to the database, the following error appears..: Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Mar 16 22:28:25 smtp dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so

When I install an SSL certificate, I can't find a config option to set configure the Server Certificate Chain file... Is this not possible or can I do it another way?

We have a user that is using Thunderbird on Windows to read mail over IMAP and it works ok, except for downloading mail with "large" attachment.. When opening a mail with a attachment with a size of 14-15MB, TB downloads the attachment seemingly ok, but TB stops when reaching 99%. After TB has stopped, if the user tries to select another mail, TB just hangs and it has to be closed and

I have understood correctly when thinking that all I need to do in order to restore mails, is to just copy the old maildir folder to the location where mail_location is pointing to and dovecot will find all the mails and display the old mails?

I am setting up a new Dovecot server and I want to start from scratch, i.e. with an empty mailbox. But I want to have the same folders in my new mailbox that I have in my old.

The server I am running Dovecot on is still using locale = ISO-8859-1 but I am thinking it is time to convert to UTF-8... Can I just use convmv to convert all the files in the mailboxes to UTF-8 or is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to run iconv to convert the content also or does dovecot/MUA fix this by it self? (i.e. they display the mail as encoded in ISO-8859-1) Regards, BTJ

When I receive a mail that is addressed to my email address and also with a cc to a mailinglist I subscribe to, I get two mails, which I guess is expected... But I have just moved to Dovecot from Cyrus, and Cyrus seems to know that this is the same mail, so only one of those two mail is stored on the imap srv... Is there some option I am missing in Dovecot or isn't this possible using

Hello, It seems that I get several emails a week from this list in my spam folder. Usually because the DKIM signature fails. Has anyone else noticed this problem or is it just me? -- Steven mainor steve at degga.net

We had to move our dovecot from one server to another and used rsync to move the mail but it took us some time.. In our log at the new server, we are getting a lot of these..: 2010/10/08 23:28:23 imap(emailadr): Error: Index /opt/vmail/ba-avis.no/bpe/mail/.Nettforum/dovecot.index: Lost log for seq=22 offset=25248 2010/10/08 23:28:23 imap(emailadr): Warning: fscking index file

Hi, my dovecot installation works since months and clients authenticate using CRAM-MD5. But today I got the first chance to test an client that supports DIGEST-MD5 - and it doesn't work. Because of lack of other supporting clients and servers I'm now at the point I don't know which side is to blame. The error I get after the client answers the servers challenge is "-ERR

Hello, I'm a fresh dovecot user (resp. admin), using dovecot 0.99.14 (a little old, but that's what Debian Sarge provides). In general everything works as it should, but there's something that makes me wonder. The wiki says "By default each login process will handle only a single connection and afterwards kill itself." But it does look different to me. On startup there are

If moving from pysieved to Dovecot native ManageSieve implementation, should this just work or do I need to do anything with existing sieve filter rule files, etc? Any reasons not to do the switch?
