similar to: Some of my IMAP Folders vanished in some MUAs

I'm doing in-site migration of accounts from /etc/passwd to an LDAP directory. The migration should be progressive (not all users at the same time). I'm already able to check mail for accounts in /etc/passwd and accounts in LDAP. The problem is with mail delivery. I'm using Postfix + Dovecot-LDA. This is the error I get with every delivery -- dovecot: Oct 03 00:16:09 Info:

Hi all, I've installed rc23 in a new testing machine, and i've had some permission problems related to dovecot-master.conf. As I have my master passwords in that file, I don't want it to be world readable. dovecot -n shows that auth_user is nobody, so setting the permissions to nobody.whatever 640 solves the problem. Anyway, I've tried to change the auth_user setting with no

Hi, One of my users can't read message of his Inbox, he can view subject of message with Thunderbird or Squirrelmail and IMAP but when he click on a message in order to read it he has thess messages with Thunderbird : The current command did not succeed.

Hi, On a freshly installed RedHat RHEL 5.1 x86 with quota-3.13-1.2.3.2.el5.rpm I can't compile neither dovecot 1.0.7 nor 1.1beta8 : $ ./configure --with-linux-quota && make [...] gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../../src/lib -I../../../src/lib-dict -I../../../src/lib-index -I../../../src/lib-mail -I../../../src/lib-storage -I../../../src/lib-storage/index

Tere. I'm using Debian, postfix & dovecot, with system quotas and settings in dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/spool/dovecot/control/%u But if system quota is full, users won't get new messages but won't get also any kind information, and also in mail.log is nothing. Is this normal? Should I use dovecot -s own

Hi everyone, on my server, i have quota set on /home partition (ext3). mount says: root at zen:/var/log# mount |grep quo /dev/sda8 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,usrquota) /dev/sda7 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noatime,usrquota,data=writeback) System is debian/stable (distribution 2.6.8-3-686-smp kernel), quotas are working: root at zen:/var/log# quota ax Disk quotas for user ax (uid 506):

Hi everyone, i am using dovecot 1.0 as IMAP and i am facing the following problem: when a user is overquota he is unable to access his account and thus he can't delete emails ! Is there any workaround for this problem ? thanks for any help. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page.

Hi, I've recently moved my mailboxes to a NFS share (on an emc Celerra), and, as expected, the quota extensions no longer works. However, I've read that adding http://dovecot.org/patches/quota-rquotad.c to $DOVECOT/src/plugins/quota, adding a line to $DOVECOT/src/plugins/quota/Makefile.am and rebuilding, it should work again. Unfortunately, it doesn't compile in my RHEL 4.0:

I think the most common Dovecot newbie problems are: - Not looking at the (correct) logs for errors - Authentication problems - Mail location problems - Mail permission problems Below are some of my ideas how I could stop people from asking these questions with future Dovecot (v1.1+) releases. Suggestions welcome. Distribution people especially should say if they're against some change.

Hello list, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.0 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and applied the latest MANAGESIEVE patch v3 [1] which seems to have worked smoothly, i.e. all hunks succeeded and no compilation problems. Now this may be stupid question with an obvious answer, but I am at a loss at how to start the daemon? What's the binary called that starts the sieve server? Is there a special way to

Greetings - I', continuing to build a test system that, at present, only I have access to. It is running Dovecot 1.0rc24. Here's the output of a "dovecot-n"... # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /logfiles/mail/live/dovecot protocols: imap ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/imapservice-bundle.crt ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/imapservice-private.key

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy

Hi, on my way home today I thought a little bit about my setup which involves user and password lookups in an SQL database (Postgres). I asked myself whether I need to do anything to prevent SQL injection via forged user or domainnames. In the wiki I didn't find anything specific, only http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables which mentions that there is the %E modifier which escapes single quites

Hi, I've almost finished my new director based setup, but in the first test I discovered that imap and lmtp connections were not always being proxied to the same server. After some research now I think that the main problem is that in imap connections users connect as 'username' while lmtp connections are as 'username at mailserver'. In my current setup I receive mail via

Hi, I'm doing the final tests before I migrate my 10000 users from RHEL 4 + dovecot 1.1.20 to RHEL5 + dovecot 1.2.11, and I'm having some serious problems with outlook 2007 clients disconnecting very often. In dovecot's log I see lot of connects and disconnects from these clients (as oposed to my kmail, that just connects once when I come in and disconnects when I shut it off).

I used to filter my mail through gmail with the following sieve rule. if not header :contains "X-Forwarded-To" "bmihulka at hulkster.net"{ redirect "bmihulka at gmail.com"; } With the gmail account set to forward to bmihulka at hulkster.net After upgrading to dovecot 1.2.9 and postfix 2.7.0 from whatever was with debian etch. I get a forwarding loop error. I

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.0rc15 from Debian stable/etch. I'd like to have Dovecot listen on more than one interface. It shall listen on one IPv4 Interface and on one IPv6 Interface. The comments in the sample configuration file say, that it's not possible to listen on more than one interface at a time. Sadly it's no option to me to listen on all interfaces. So I'd like to ask

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 paquitoelchocolatero to

I recently created Dovecot Solutions Oy (Ltd) company with two other guys. We sell Dovecot support, development, etc. I was planning on announcing this only after we get an actual web site, but since I already told about it in Linuxtag today, I might as well tell everyone. The upcoming web site should have some more details, but if you already know you want to buy something, let me know. :)
