hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1],

While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder the following: If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting. Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their maildirs. It looks like this: ============================================= #!/bin/bash for pad1

Hi, I'm using dovecot for some time now. Previously I was using Courier and I've migrated this setup to dovecot which went pretty fine. Now I'm experiencing some strange behaviour when using some newer mail clients. Some of my Folders, like "spam", are vanished. The strange point is that it only happens in some clients, like Thunderbird 2.x+ or KMail 3.5.x. In others,

hi, i'm migrating 1 mail-server from LDAP+postfix+courier to mysql+postfixadmin+dovecot, on a debian etch machine i have followed this howto : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL (changed uid and gid for usage in debian, the SVN-postfixadmin didn't work for me, so i used the stable version, and haven't tested the SASL-part yet) this works great, except the

Hello I'm dovecot bigginer from courier-imap. I used shared maildir in courier like this. 1) create maildir # maildirmake -S /home/shared 2) create maildirshared file # echo 'SHARE /home/shared ' > /etc/courier/maildirshared (use tabcode) 3) edit imapd config file IMAP_UMASK=022 IMAP_SHAREDINDEXFILE=/etc/courier/shared/index in courier, only 3 step. I read wiki

I am not familiar with all the features that Dovecot has, but I am familiar with Courier IMAP using Maildir. Does Dovedot have a software based Maildir supporting quota program like Courier IMAP ? Can maildrop be used with Dovecot for quotas ? Courier IMAP has maildrop integrated. - If maildrop support is turned on in Courier IMAP, then a user will get a quota warning mail message

Hi all. I am currently gathering information about migration of Maildir/ structures from Courier to Dovecot. What do you think about http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier ? For each courier Maildir account I want to use http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl to produce dovecot-uidlist file mv courierimapsubscribed subscriptions sed sed -i 's/INBOX\.//' subscriptions

Greetings - new to the list, so apologies of I'm asking questions that have been brought up before. I work for a large email provider, currently using qmail, vpopmail and courier-imap. We tend to make fairly regular customizations of the software, and if you folks have any knowledge of courier's code layout, you probably can understand why we hate working on it. Anyway, I am looking at

Hello, I am trying to convert a maildir that was managed by courier-imap up to now to dovecot. I am using the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script as follows: courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --convert --recursive ~/Maildir However, this command only seems to convert the base maildir, but not all the subfolders. I thought that that's what the --recursive option was for. Is the command above

Hi all I use asterisk (1.2 brach) from debian official packages and it works fine. Now I need to install and configure a Digium TE120P card, but I cannot find any guide to install it using debian packages. I would like to know if anyone of you knows about packages that would include the necessary kernel modules or any other method that won't be broken when the asterisk packages are updated.

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a very FAQ, I've been googling around and searchin' the list archive and I'll gladly accept RTFMs with somehow precise URLs (including URLs to the list archives). I'm on the drawing board (no equipment yet) for a server farm that will have a SteelEye linux cluster behind to provide (among other services) with networked file access. The setup is

Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I

I have Dovecot 0.99.9.1 compiled from the source, without SSL, running on a Red Hat 9.0 system - EXT3 file system, Pentium Pro 233 MHz, Intel motherboard, 128M RAM, IBM 40Gig 7200 RPM HD. I find reading and searching to be nice and fast, and comparing it with Courier IMAP on a Celeron 824 MHz, I think Dovecot is generally not much slower, which means it may well be faster than Courier in some or

Hello, I have recently changed imap from Courier-imap to dovecot because of serial problems with courier-imap, I have being forced to do it very quickly... and without extensives tests. I have 3 mails servers (freebsd based) behind a load balancer and a nfs mailstore on a netapp. On my first tests I have setup the index into some nfs shared mount, but it seems that some imap clients are

Hi, About a week ago I upgraded our reasonably heavily loaded mail servers from a pretty recent courier version to dovecot-1.1rc10. IMAP performance on dovecot is amazing, however POP3 performance is worse than courier :-( I have uploaded some munin graphs taken today to http://linweb.atlas.pipex.net/dovecot/; the dovecot server is handling about 2000 pop logins/sec and 300 imap sessions (but

Hi, we use a current Debian etch distribution as basis for our servers, which are running within a vmware server environment. Our current configuration consists of a dovecot server with imap enabled and a ldap based authentication. Mails are stored using the Maildir format on a central nfs store. We do not use any virtual mailboxes. Since upgrading from dovecot version 1.0.rc15 (debian

I have a connection to my dovecot server from gnus: ,---- | (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods | '(nnimap "hermes" | (nnimap-stream starttls) | (nnimap-address "hermes") | (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo"))) `---- If I enter a group and read my mail then wander off and come back after a few minutes I can not navigate

Hi all, I'm working on a migration from Courier to Dovecot, and the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl seems to work ok, but it puts all the metadata files (dovecot-uidlist etc) in the Maildir, while I want to put them in the appropriate places as specified: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/meta/index/%d/%1n/%1.1n/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/meta/control/%d/%1n/%1.1n/%n

Hallo, I''m running Xen 3 (xen-unstable tarball from 4/27) with kernel 2.6.16   and Debian Etch in all domains. Most things seem to work very well. But I have some problems with NFS in domU. The NFS-Server started at boot time but I cant''t access to the shares from a client. --> sigma:~# showmount -a xen-samba rpc mount dump: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection

Hi. Uhm... yeah as the topic implies I want to have . (dots) in my folder names... Unfortunately dovecot's maildirmake hasn't a -f switch as the one from courier/maildrop, but that one in turn is buggy[0] and doesn't encode any characters at all. In principle, maildir++ should allow[1] having (encoded) dots in folder names,... but I don't quite understand how the encoding
