Does "dovecot" have anything similar to the UW IMAP "mailadm" group operation? From near the end of: http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/RELNOTES.html 'Support for SASL authentication identity vs. authorization identity in the IMAP and POP3 servers. If the user indicated by the authentication identity is in the "mailadm" group, he may

Hi, I set a virtual namespace, and for new users, there is no root dir for it. namespace private { separator = / prefix = virtual/ location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual list = no hidden = yes } log: Apr 10 12:14:41 mail dovecot: IMAP(test1 at xueron.com):Namespace 'virtual/': virtual: Root mail directory doesn't

Is it possible to have folders on read-only partitions in Dovecot 1.0-stable? We have a NetApp fileserver which would probably be accessed via NFS (though iSCSI is possible) and which stores readonly "snapshots" of every directory accessible as .snapshot (but usually hidden from the operating system). It would be very nice to set up a "snapshot" namespace something like

I've been struggling with an odd bug in the latest 1.0-stable (20050427) release. Sometimes Dovecot seems to forget that a message has been read or deleted and marks it unread (or not deleted). As far as I've been able to determine, it seems to happen when 1) There have been several recent deliveries 2) Possibly some of those deliveries are of multiple messages 3) Possibly they are read

Hi, I am looking for some help on dict configration. I'm trying to config shared and public mailbox, and use sql as acl backend. Here is my config: table: CREATE TABLE `shared_dict` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `from_user` char(50) NOT NULL, `to_user` char(50) NOT NULL, `status` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `from_user` (`from_user`),

Timo, I've noticed a couple of extra compilation errors in last night's snapshot compared to the snapshot I downloaded on Tuesday, probably due to the int -> bool change :- (gcc 3.3.2 on Solaris 8) mbox-sync.c: In function `mbox_sync': mbox-sync.c:1568: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type index-search.c: In function `search_index_arg':

I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other at somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> is

It seems that Dovecot gets confused when presented with a header like: From: someone at somewhere.org i.e. with leading whitespace and no "friendly name" This shows up as ""@MISSING_DOMAIN in clients, such as Pine, that believe what Dovecot tells them rather than parsing the headers themselves (e.g. Thunderbird). Here's a sample IMAP session: xyz FETCH 728 ENVELOPE

Hmm, this is peculiar! This mailbox has been unchanged on my test server since September. I've been using it to test each new version of Dovecot just after I've compiled it. When beta1 was released, I opened this mbox with no problems. However, when I upgraded to beta2, I got "file size unexpectedly shrinked in mbox file /export/mail/a/24/vis99003/INBOX (16895967 vs 16899267)".

I've got several users testing Dovecot IMAP at the moment, but some of them are also accessing their mail via UW-IMAP at other times. (I've warned them about accessing the same folder simultaneously via UW-IMAP and Dovecot!) In addition, we have special folders "AutoSpam" and "Trash" that pruned using Washington's "mailutil" automatically every so

I've noticed that my dovecot.index.cache file has got very large (24MB, which is more than 1/3 of my INBOX size). I've tried deleting (well, renaming) the dovecot.index.* files, and re-opening my INBOX, and the new dovecot.index.cache is only 90KB so far. I'm using dovecot-1.0-stable and mbox format. My mail_cache_fields and mail_never_cache_fields are set to the default. Looking

I've been having problems with Pine 4.62 talking to Dovecot 1.0 stable. It's fine when the folder collection path is empty, but if I have "~/mail/" or "mail/" it gives access errors (I'm using the "~/mail/", "mail/" etc. hidden namespaces for backwards compatability). It seems to me that Dovecot is not replying correctly to a "LIST"

Hi all, We moved our Dovecot installation first of all to have all folders and inboxes on NetApps via NFS (with indexes local) then from a physical Solaris 8 4-way UltraSparc server running Dovecot 1.2.5 (32-bit) to a virtualised Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit server with a single virtual processor (in VMWare ESX 3.5) running Dovecot 1.2.8 (64-bit). Since the change, many of our users have experienced

Talk about personal problems! I am using dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2, and everything has been going fine for months. Earlier this afternoon, Thunderbird's status pane would say 'Sending authenticate login information...' and I would no longer receive email. When I checked with others, they were fine and dandy. I tried kmail, evolution, and even tried webmail. All had connection errors.

We've had another random imap process crash. This is with the original 1.2.5 imap (I haven't applied the patch for two processes creating an index simultaneously): > Oct 03 13:24:56 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxxxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=134.225.1.46, lip=134.225.16.6 > Oct 03 13:25:59 IMAP 6067 xxxxxxxx 134.225.1.46 : Info: delete: uid=483, msgid=<xxxxxxxx> > Oct

I've tried this on both Solaris 8 and SuSE Enterprise 9 (64-bit). I get a assert-crash when using a gzipped mbox folder . OK Logged in. .

Anybody else seen this one? We're running Dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a different port on our live server (we're generally live with 1.0.beta5) and after a HUP to reload the user database (in a passwd-file) this morning we got:- > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Info: IMAP 14482 someuser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : Disconnected in IDLE > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall
