Has anyone looked into providing support in dovecot for Kmail folders? I would like to make my Kmail folders (on my main desktop system) available to my other systems (including over a VPN when I am travelling). Kmail is my main mail program and I have a lot of mail in a lot of folders, so I don't want to set up a separate IMAP service and move all the mail and folders. Kmail's use

I'd be really grateful if someone running a dovecot IMAP (or IMAPS) server could tell me exactly how their email folders are arranged. What is the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot.conf ? What are the directories (or some of them) containing mail messages? Does the client see an inbox folder? If so, what directory on the server contains these email messages?

Hello- I have set up Dovecot before and feel fairly comfortable with it but am having some issues with a new setup and have not been able to find a solution via Google or the list archives. I use offlineiimap to sync an IMAP account with an email provider. After the sync is complete, my ~/Maildir is set up with a folder called INBOX (with cur,new,tmp inside) and all my other folders set up at

Type of Maildir structure I am using came from KDE. No '.'s just folders. something like Maildir/ INBOX mail-sent outbox other where each has cur new and tmp folders. if I access this directory with IMAP it creates cur new and tmp in the root. ie Maildir/ INBOX cur new tmp mail-sent outbox other This implies to me 1. it finds the Maildir directory 2. it apparently does not

Hello, I'm attempting to use sieve-filter on a local mailbox. I've defined mail_location as follows: % grep mail_location /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf mail_location = maildir:~/Mail I have a large number of mailboxes / mail in ~/Mail: ~ % find Mail | wc -l 63158 There are definitely a few messages in INBOX: ~ % find Mail/INBOX/cur | wc -l 5 I must admit, I'm completely new

Hi, After setting up a maildir tree with :LAYOUT=fs and accessing it with KMail and Thunderbird, various mail client-specific problems appeared, but, as I didn't try with maildir++, I would like to confirm here: does that matter for an IMAP client much if I store mail on server as ":LAYOUT=fs" or maildir++? Can it see differences? I would like to think, that IMAP protocol

Hey all, So I've got a shared namespace in dovecot where users can, via a custom control panel, share their folders into (which creates a symlink) in order to allow anyone on their domain to access it. I store mail in maildir. The issue is that when people share folders, they expect that when they make subfolders, those are automatically shared as they are contained within it.

kmail stopped working and when I check the dovecot log file I see: May 4 11:40:38 f12barry dovecot: IMAP(bscott): Corrupted index cache file /home/bscott/Maildir/._NewMail-com/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted virtual size for uid=234: 633278 != 633251 May 4 11:40:38 f12barry dovecot: IMAP(bscott): Corrupted index cache file /home/bscott/Maildir/._NewMail-com/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted virtual

Hello all, I am trying to set up Dovecot to use a particular maildir folder hierarchy and have a problem that relates to the inbox. the folder hierarchy I want in /.../Maildir/ is: .inbox cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-inbox .sent-items cur new tmp .imap.index.files-for-sent-items however the hierarchy that dovecot gives me is .inbox (unused) .INBOX .imap.index.files-for-.INBOX

Hi, I've recently migrated my emails from a Yahoo account to my own mailserver on a VPS. Ever since then, Thunderbird seems to have issues with the mailbox's directory structure: When I start Thunderbird, it immediately deletes the local copies of all 3rd-level folders (i.e. subfolders of a subfolder of a folder in the mailbox root). Since that didn't happen with the Yahoo account, I

Hi folks Setting up a new server, hence a few software packages have been upgraded / changed. On my old server (only 2 years old) I was using Dovecot and RoundCube (web mail app) and had a good experience so was keen to use these again. The only major change is I have switched from sendmail to exim4 (which was installed by default on this Debian server). Exim4 appears to be doing the right
