similar to: some mail accesses in dovecot 1.1 stall for a bit (in progress)

ACL plugin still disabled. The folders listed below definitely do have Children. telnet session problem example in 1.1b4: * OK Dovecot ready. ? login mcdouga9 password ? OK Logged in. 9 LIST "" "#shared/decs/%" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "#shared/decs/support" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "#shared/decs/receipts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren)

I think this is where I left off last weekend. Instead of this happening at the base of one of my shared mail namespaces, it happens when I try to select a top level folder inside the namespace, or try to directly select an entire path to a folder. This only happens when ACL is enabled. Let me know if I need to provide more. Thanks. Oct 27 16:03:27 gribble dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): file

When I was initially testing dovecot 1.1b2,3 I had ACLs turned on and encountered this problem below. I had them turned off until now, I'll need to have ACLs working before I can widen testing. I'm not sure how to make "env MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir gdb /tmp/imap" load the ACL plugin so I assume that is why it does not crash; not getting any log either from that, maybe I made a

I was trying to debug this with gdb, but I'm not sure how to make env MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir MAIL_PLUGINS=acl ACL=vfile gdb /tmp/imap understand the #shared/decs namespace from below so I can SELECT it. I have a number of maildirs under #ahared/decs, I tried opening at least 2 of them but dovecot gives sig 11 without a direct error about the problem. I don't think this was exactly the

I noticed the following this week. No idea how long its been happening because I have not tested deleting folders hardly at all. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a folder "NewFolder", click on it in thunderbird so an index dir is created: ls -ldi Maildir/.NewFolder/ 1504062 drwx------ 5 mcdouga9 egrstaff 4096 Nov 16 19:44 Maildir/.NewFolder/ ls -ldi

First of all, I think dovecot is really fantastic and I have thanks for all the hard work. I think it will be the best fit for my ~5000 users when I have it setup completely. We normally have approx 500 concurrent IMAP connections during the day. I am trying to convert from courier-imap to dovecot, but I have an issue with public namespace folders that are not writable by certain users.

In the past I dabbled with the imap quota plugin with the fs backend because I wanted to report usage to my users (not limit them). At the time, the quota plugin would make dovecot crash when trying to write to a folder (I can bring up this report if needed). However, in a later beta of dovecot 1.1 I tried quota again but I cannot get it to report any results. I've been wanting to use

Early next week I need to upload over 100,000 emails to an IMAP server as quickly as possible from an Outlook client. I am looking for any methods I can use to (temporarily?) speed up the rate at which dovecot can accept and store IMAP uploads, whether it be storing on local disk, ram disk, etc. I can setup a temporary server on a laptop for example and once the upload has finished I can use

I have up to 4 servers that will run dovecot behind a load balancer, which means the same user might be accessing the same mailbox from multiple servers, and it seems like dovecot doesn't like multiple access to the dovecot indexes for the one user since I currently have them stored in a nfs home directory. Is this a bad thing? Must I keep a seperate index location per server? Just today

Two nights ago I took a leap and extended my testing of dovecot 1.1 by replacing 1.0 for the approx 15 users I had on 1.0. At that time I also for the first time tried dovecot 1.1 in a load balanced 2 server configuration with indexes on NFS. I was hoping I did this right, using the mail_nfs params and 1.1 so fchown etc would flush the access cache, but I am getting a number of messages and

Item 1: I store the indexes and control in their own directory. I noticed in 1.1: 1192 ./private/indexes/.INBOX 32 ./private/indexes/.Trash 1228 ./private/indexes 4 ./private/control/.INBOX/.INBOX 84 ./private/control/.INBOX 4 ./private/control/.Trash/.Trash 12 ./private/control/.Trash 100 ./private/control 1332 ./private .INBOX/.INBOX and .Trash/.Trash

I noticed this today, I had a user outside of our department test out dovecot. They were using squirrelmail and I noticed that dovecot thinks this user is subscribed to ALL public folders even though a dovecot ACL prevents all access. I'm pretty sure access is still denied. I was able to reproduce this with a guest account I added: l lsub "" "#shared/decs/%" * LSUB

I have some public mailboxes setup in 1.0.0, location = maildir:/egr/mail/shared/org:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/org:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/org I also have a dovecot-shared file in the maildir folders so messages that are added to the inbox get a decent set of default permissions. However, I think dovecot is also trying to fchown the index files (stored in a user

I have some folders with a good amount of spam. While demonstrating full text search to a user, we found a folder that would crash dovecot while doing a fts. While splitting up the mailbox to narrow it down, I found there are a good number of messages in that folder that all made it crash in the same manner. I figured I'd narrow down a single one, get that fixed, then retest the rest. I

I use CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/[namespace] for each of my public namespaces. A few nights ago, I noticed having a new user subscribe to public folders for the first time will silently fail, becuase the path up to the subscriptions file will not be created. I am pretty sure dovecot used to create it for me, but maybe that changed in a recent version, or maybe I did something to

This happened from one user near noon on the 17th and 19th (today) of this month. From the backtrace it looks like they were searching, but I won't know for sure unless I need to ask them. Is this possibly fixed already? I just haven't upgraded dovecot in a while due to lack of problems. The sig11 happened a few dozen times, a few seconds apart each day. I have one coredump from

Hi, I've enabled autoexpunge for Trash and Junk. Now imap process core dumps occasionally.

We've just cut over to a new mail server running Dovecot 1.0.5. The underlying OS is RHEL 5. User mailboxes are stored in Unix mbox format on a local ext3 file system. The MTA on the system is the default RedHat version of Sendmail 8.13.8 with procmail for local delivery. We're using a combination of dotlock and fcntl style locking. The output of "dovecot -n" for this system

Hello, I would like to suggest a change in handling of 'Time moved backwards' problem. Right now dovecot just dies. So, the scenario: 1) Colocation server is shut down for some reason. The internal time drifts. 2) Server is started again. 3) Dovecot starts successfully. 4) In about a minute, NTP daemon feels confident about adjusting the system time. 5) Dovecot sees the changed time and

Hi all, I've a dovecot server setup and occassionally clients cannot get mails from their inbox. When I inspect the maildir for that user, there is stale dovecot-uidlist.lock file, and imap process keeps waiting for release of the lock. Is there any other method to perform locking on dovecot-uidlist instead of using dotlock mechanism? It is creating maintenance problems if I need to remove
