Hi I configured Exim with dovecot LDA and added quota (dict/mysql). It works but it seems that dovecot is not reporting situation back to exim process - it looks like Exim returns OK(accepted) to smtp sender before the message is actually delivered - if the quota is exceeded then LDA drops the mail and sends DSN. Is it possible to change that behavior to report problem immediately (within

Hello all, I'm wanting to set up IMAP bandwidth monitoring, but I don't see any IMAP size transfer entries in the log file. How would I turn this on? Please refer me to the manual if I've somehow missed it :) Thanks, Phillip

After setting imap_hibernate_timeout to 60s, I could not find any hibernated connections after a few hours. I tested hibernation and made an observation: IDLE'd imap sessions only hibernate if they don't have a mailbox SELECT'd, otherwise they never hibernate. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Hi, I am running dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a Suse Linux server. The server has approx 200+ mailboxes. Last week the filesystem (/dev/mapper/datavg/dat2lv) ran out of space - causing it to do into read-only mode. When I realised this I allocated some more space and re-booted the machine... Strangely it seems that dovecot is still having problems... It's like dovecot doesn't realise that

Hi I want to enable autocreate-plugin, I downloaded http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/autocreate-plugin.c compiled as specified in comment and got autocreate_plugin.so but I'm not sure how do I install it. I have many plugins in /usr/local/lib/dovecot/ (it's FreeBSD) and subdirs, but they all have libXX_ prefixes (what do they mean?). I couldn't find any information about installing

I frequently see this from my iPhone/iPad IMAP users: Oct 24 21:30:55 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user>, ...

Hi all, I'm working to convert from a bincIMAP setup to a Dovecot setup. I've tried messing around with namespaces to make the conversion transparent, but I'm getting nowhere. Are namespaces necessary? Or can I proceed by recursively renaming the folders on the server? A transparent solution would be wonderful, but I can't get it to work for me.. Any help would be

Hi Migration page [1] on wiki says "Courier version 3 (younger versions) Here everything has changed: Courier's UID data are now stored in courierpop3dsizelistand in a completely new format. But it's still possible to convert it to the format dovecot needs (link to perlscript and further configuration details will follow later). " but there's nothing more. I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I've installed dovecot 0.99.14 (last port on my freebsd system), and now I've to migrate from bincimap. My system uses qmail with vpopmail (uid/gid 89) and Maildir format. Well, now the authentication is ok, but when I try to connect to mailbox I receive an error like "IMAP command SELECT failed". My dovecot.conf:

Hi there, After being extremely impressed from implementing it in some customer installations, I've decided to migrate our mail infrastructure to dovecot. Being able to have /bin/checkpassword support across the board for pop, imap, and smtp authentication, as well as being able to ditch stunnel for the SSL layer...where were you in 2001?!? :) I have two concerns, the first is about the

Apologies for bumping Joseph Tam's rather old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a workaround/fix for this problem that iOS Mail.app clients (10.3.3, 11.0.3, 11.1?) continue to exhibit?

Hi there, I'm working on converting my server from using bincimap to dovecot. I seem to be having some trouble with folders, however. Binc was set up like this : depot = "IMAPdir", /* Use Maildir++ style type = "Maildir", /* only Maildir path = "Maildir", /* default

I am using dovecot and trying to make it compatible with my a BincIMAP installation. BincIMAP uses a scheme similar to Courier-IMAP, so I set up this default_mail_env: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir And this namespace: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Which mostly works as expected, but I now see an "INBOX" subfolder of "INBOX" in

hi all 2 Questions : - how not using the authentication bind feature of ldap server ? i rewrite checkpassword-ldap recently to use in bincimap server, and it take 3 lines to do this, so i don't understand how you don't use it. it is more powerful and more secure than retrieve pasword from the base and use crypto api to compare it. - is the dovecot server support the IMAPdir feature like

Thanks for the reply and suggestion Robert. I have now set mail_max_userip_connections to 400 in 20-imap.conf to see if it makes any difference. Late yesterday the customer tested from his office, an older IOS 9 tablet and he had IMAP working in a matter of minutes, so is certainly an newer software version by Apple issue.

Hello everybody (esp. Timo ;)), in an attempt to replace our cyrus imapd with something less bloated I have recently evaluated some of the younger imapd implementations, namely bincimap and also dovecot. Bincimap didn't work properly with mozilla for me, dovecot hasn't failed on any test, yet. Unfornationally, since we have been using cyrus for over 1.5 yrs, we pretty much depend on the

I have a really weird problem. To whit: I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both. The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . . And the
