similar to: UW-IMAP style mbox snarfing from /var/mail/ to ~/mbox

Hi, I am having problems with Dovecot 1.0.3 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 when using a new user account without any mbox files present. Directory /home/$user/.imap_mail/ does not exist when Thunderbird first tries to login using IMAP to the account. On login this directory is created with a zero byte Trash file and .subscriptions containing string "Trash", so far, so good. Now I create a

Seeing a problem with a certain user causing dovecot to crash when copying mail to a folder. This looks similar to a bug someone on the mailing list posted recently. Since the backtrace mentions the index, I tried deleting all of the index files for the user (including subfolders) but it had no effect. Seems that the bug still happens when creating the index for the first time.

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and moves them over fine.

I'm trying to get the snarf plugin working with dovecot 2.0.7. Specifically, I want to use the UW-IMAP style optional snarfing. I'm looking at the wiki2 documentation. The first question is whether the UW-IMAP optional snarfing will require any changes to the mail_location. The first section suggests (but doesn't specifically state, which I'd propose be clarified) that

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server

I've now upgraded dovecot from 2.0.21 to 2.1.10 and the good news is I no longer see dovecot crashing when loading the snarf plugin however snarf still does not do anything except make the inbox disappear. I've come to the conclusion that either snarf does not actually work, possible, but I doubt it, or more likely I have a configuration issue preventing it from working. The system is

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of both

Hello everyone, I tried to compile the mbox-snarf-plugin.c (downloaded today, so I assume it's the most recent version available) on AIX 5.3 with gcc 4.0. Building Dovecot 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 works fine.

I already wrote to Timo, but I thought some others on this list may have had a similar situation. So here goes: The scenario at Michigan Technological University stems from long standing traditions and policies that probably won't change. That said, two of the policies are 1.)we don't bounce mail and 2.)we guarantee delivery when we accept a piece of mail. The UW IMAP

I've been using uw-imap for some time on my linux system and have been running into issues with it so I've decided to move to Dovecote, so far it seems to have solved the issues I've been having however I need/want to move the incoming emails out of /var/spool/mail/{user} in the same (or similar fashion) that uw-imap did, and I found the snarf plugin. However whenever I enable the

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the

Hello, I recently switched to dovecot 1.1.1 with mbox_snarf from uw-imap with mbox driver enabled. The mail is delivered by procmail in /var/spool/mail/user Most of my users have a file INBOX located in $HOME/mail The mail is transfered from /var/spool/mail/user to $HOME/mail/INBOX every time an imap connection is done. Things are OK with clients like thunderbird or evolution, but with imp

Hello, I'm currently running 1.1.20 and I'm planning to upgrade to 1.2.10 I've read carefully the wiki page "Upgrading Dovecot v1.1 to v1.2" and a few messages concerning mail_location parameter but I still don't know what to change in my configuration in order to keep it working after the upgrade. I'm using mbox format and mbox_snarf plugin. dovecot -n :

Hi, We are planning to use Dovecot-2.0.5 (Maildir format) as IMAP server. Currently, we are using Postfix+UW-Imap (mbox format) with the following configuration: - Postfix: Sends new messages to /var/mail/user - UW-IMAP: Reads mails from /var/mail/user and moves them to ~/nsmail/mbox Using that configuration, when a user overtakes his HOME?s quota, the MTA is still able to send new messages
