I've been using Dovecot in some fresh installs lately and have found it fairly easy to configure. However I'm starting on a migration that involves moving from some very old software (ancient vpopmail, qmail and Courier). On the Courier front, I've reviewed the migration page in the wiki, and it looks like the main concerns are just matching the namespace and then using the migration

Hello, I run the domain for the school here with qmail and vpopmail on FreeBSD with dovecot from the ports. I'm running dovecot 1.0.r26 and everything is working great. I been noticing that dovecot isn't updating when the user last logged in.. and I can't seem to figure out why. I also can't seem to find anything in the archives about it.. so am I the only one? name:

Hi, i have qmail + vpopmail + dovecot + squirrelmail 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4. Qmail includes its own pop3 server, and everybody is able to access it from outside. Dovecot is used only locally by SquirrelMail - so everybody can access via webmail. I'd like to make imap directly available from outside, but only for a few selected domains (NOT ip addresses!), while leaving everyone able to

I just upgraded a server from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot, and I'm seeing some odd behavior. It's probably the result of something I did wrong in my configuration, and I'm hoping someone will let me know the easy fix for it. I have rules set up in Apple Mail to move and copy messages to different folders, some of which are IMAP folders, others on my own system. With

I've been trying for 24 hours now, to get an IMAP server which will autenticate off of vpopmail cdb database and the auth module always segfaults on login. I'm using vpopmail 5.5.0 only because it is the only version which seems to create a dynamically linked version of the library. I tried latest releases dovecot 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. Also latest mercurial pulls of 1.1 and 1.2. Even old

Hi All, I'm new to the list and have a quota question.

I have added into a .qmail for a users this line: root at test.com: /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/0/test# cat .qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER This is my dovecont conf: # dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.24-21-server x86_64 Ubuntu 8.04.1 log_path:

My existing pop3/imap environment is courier imap + vpopmail + qmail with MySQL backend. I'm looking at migrating this to Dovecot. Currently I have multiple instances of Courier bound to different loopback IPs (the IPs correspond with the virtual IPs on a server load balancer). When a user authenticates they don't have to specify a domain - if they don't, Courier will use a

Hello folks, This morning I tried to open an old archive mail folder using Mutt. However, while fetching headers it aborted.

Hi, I wonder if it posible to replace qmail + vpopmail with sendmail + dovecot? The idea is like this: - use sendmail + milter API to filter spam/virus and deliver the email to the dovevot MDA (LDA) - dovecot should save the email to the directory as specified in the vpopmail DB - maintain the vpopmail BD (users + passwd) - use dovecot pop3/imap for the clients - use sendmail again to receive

SoI had a hell of a time converting my qmail install to dovecot 2.0.5, so I thought I'd pass on what I learned. 1. When using vpopmail, do not use " --disable-many-domains". If you do, you'll need to recompile vpopmail without that setting and use the script found at http://qmailrocks.thibs.com/downloads/scripts/migrate-vpopmail-many-domains to collapse the tables. 2.

I am working on updating the Shupp toaster, http://shupp.org/toaster/ a set of files and instructions for installing qmail, vpopmail, qmailadmin and squirrelmail. Two of my most important goals are switching the imap program from courier to Dovecot, and closer integration with OpenSuSE. (Which I run my mail servers on.) To follow the style of the toaster I need a place where I can obtain the
