Hello, I have a mail server which I upgraded yesterday. OLD: Redhat 9 sendmail (very old version) UW ipop3d usermin with readmail module for webmail access (very old version) NEW: Fedora Core 6 sendmail 8.13.8 Usermin for webmail again dovecot 1.0.0 # /etc/dovecot.conf protocols: pop3 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location:

From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file: # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu ... # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. #

Hi, I'm migrating a uw-imap installation to dovecot. With uw-imap I had different SSL certificates and keys for ipop3d and imapd. How can I configure dovecot to do the same with its pop3s and imaps services?

I am having a little problem in relation to sending output to the R Console window, when a function is called by pushing a button in a Tk window. Actually there seem to be two components to the problem: -- the R prompt does not re-appear until <return> is pressed -- text output to the R Console window *disappears* after <return> is pressed The following, in R 1.1.1 under

Best Dovecot devs, We moved from UW-imap&pop3 to Dovecot this morning (~500 accounts) and reduced our traffic from the home directory server to the imap server bigtime: | 22 Nov| 0.1 0.8| 0.0 0.0| 0.4 0.5| 1550.6 42.9| 1557.3 67.9| | 23 Nov| 0.3 1.0| 0.0 0.1| 0.4 0.6| 1331.8 37.3| 1337.2 46.3| | 24 Nov| 0.0 0.4| 0.0 0.0|

Any chance of this being implemented in fbsd? Could be usefull ;-) ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3514.txt -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/

I recently set up an OpenBSD - Dovecot mail server for a client. Naturally (according to Murphy's Law) they want to use Outlook 2003, pop3s, and leave messages on the server. And just as naturally, the UIDLs don't seem to be working, and when they download mail, they get EVERY email stored on the server, not just the new ones. Other than switching them over to IMAP, I found the

I am installing Dovecot-2.1.13 on Slackware 13.37.0 for the first time to replace ipop3d and I have overcome all of the roadblocks as they have developed except this last one and I finally have to say ?uncle?. The error messages that are showing up in the dovecot.log are as follows. Jan 24 12:27:27 tux2 dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file /etc/shadow: open(/etc/shadow) failed: Permission denied

I''ve got qualcomm''s qpopper2.2, and am not sure if its vulnerable. The advisory mentions pop and imap servers, but only says: version of IMAP (Section B). If your POP server is based on the University of Washington IMAP server code, you should also upgrade to the latest version of IMAP. Until you can take one of these actions, I installed the new imapd about 3

Hi! I'v installed dovecot over um-pop3 today. Dovecot has only pop3 enabled. imap will be enabled later. But there is one issue - on some accounts, after receiving mail to Outlook Express, mail is not deleted from /var/mail/username mbox file, and on most it is deleted. Why it works in that way?

Hi, I have a server configured as follows: a standard 2.4.18 kernel, IDE discs, 1Gb RAM (not all used), load avg around 1-2. a large partition, formatted reiserfs within large partition are 80 300Mb loopback file systems, formatted ext3. I got the following assertion yesterday which forced a lot of processes into D state. I'm not sure how easy it is to reproduce this problem.

Hi, We're upgrading a cluster of servers from v1.0.15 to v1.1.x or v1.2.x. It appears that the UIDL generation mechanism has changed, and thus we'll be getting POP3 dups with users that leave mail on server (which is a nasty practice, I know). From checking the sources, and performing a number of controlled tests in various scenarios, here is the outcome: upgrade from 1.0.15 to

Hi- A couple of comments regarding the POP3 server (I realize the POP3 server is probably low priority though..) One problem is that the "LAST" command is not supported. Some mail clients end up downloading all messages every time because of this (or so I'm told). The biggest source of these remarks is people using the yahoo webmail front end. I wonder if this could be added?

I have a big problem with our cluster, if i read my mail with POP3 client (and check the option, keep a copy on server), every time I read my mail, my client retrive ALL messages an the mailbox !!! I test this with: - Apple Mail 1.0 + 2.0 - M$ Outlook 2000 + 2003 - Thunderbird We use: - Dovecot RC1 - Postfix on Debian Sarge (stable) Can you know this bug ? Or have a workaround ? This function

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Fixed APPEND hanging in some situations. Didn't happen with mail_save_crlf=yes. - Added pop3_uidl_format setting. No need to patch sources anymore if you don't want the default. Does anyone want pop3_uidl_xuidl_header yes/no setting, with fallbacking to pop3_uidl_format if X-UIDL header isn't found? Shouldn't be difficult to do.. - Added
