I have enabled SSL support for my dovecot installation but if I enable secure authentication in my MUA, I get an error from dovecot telling me that this is not supported.. Is this because dovecot does not support this or am I missing some config?

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

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?

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?

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

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

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.

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 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

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

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Well for other mailing lists I have noticed that a lot of lists add text to the body or subject saying what list the email is from which would cause the signature not to match. But the dovecot list doesn't do that so that's why I found it strange that so many emails fail dkim. - -- Steven Mainor On February 7, 2017 2:22:59 AM EST,

It's implemented now in dovecot-2.1 hg. It also deprecates autocreate plugin (but it still works the old way).
