similar to: default_mail_env/mail_location syntax changes

I'm moving to IMAP and trying to understand all the details of where to save email. The system is CentOS running sendmail - procmail which delivers as: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ I'm trying also to use Usermin as the webmail client. I can get mail to deliver to $HOME/Maildir/ and I can get clients (thunderbird outlook etc) to view them. However Usermin seems stuck with saving

We are running Postfix 2.3.3 and Dovecot 1.0-RC27 on a Solaris 10 server. We use the Dovecot LDA for local delivery. Problems arise with looping mail whenever a user's .forward contains a reference to themselves. This most frequently occurs when a user sets up a vacation since it then puts this in their .forward file: \username, "|/usr/bin/vacation username" The vacation program

Hi all. I`ve got such problem: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/domain.net.ua/%n - it works. But when I say: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%d/%n - it not. Log: Aug 3 22:51:19 serv dovecot: POP3(user): mbox: data=/home/user/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail//user Aug 3 22:51:19 serv dovecot: POP3(user): mbox: root=/home/user/mail, index=/home/user/mail,

I just installed Dovecot on Debian and everyting seems to be working fine except for the fact that it can't seem to find my mails when I log in. All my mails are stored in the file ~/mail/Inbox. In the dovecot.conf file I put: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and it's not working. What is the part: mbox:~/mail/ for ? and what is the part: INBOX=/var/mail/%u for ? I

sorry if this mail is a duplicate - I am testing the new mail system! I am having problems setting the default mail environment.# I am using Fedora Core 2 with version dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2 My users all have an NFS mounted home directory, and all mail is delivered to ~Mail/.mailbox it is all mbox format. I would like to put the indexes on the local system in /var/indexes/{username}. So I

I was thinking about renaming default_mail_env to something that is more understandable. I'll keep it working for backwards compatibility anyway. How about: # Location for users' mailboxes. This is the same as the old default_mail_env # setting. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot tries to find the # mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user doesn't have any

Hello-- I am a fairly new dovecot user and have run into a problem. I am running dovecot 1.0alpha5 (built from source) on a Fedora Core 1 machine. The system has about 400 users with over 80 IMAP users, and we have just transitioned from UW-IMAP. Thus all users are currently still mbox users. I would like to transition them to maildir users (this was the main point for me switching servers), and

Hi Not sure how much support you guys can offer but when I use default_mail_env = mbox:/var/spool/mail/%d/imap/%n/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n I get the login error ..

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending

I am playing around with dovecot and want to use local filesystem for indexing. But whenever I open a new imap connection the following warning is shown: Apr 30 10:14:42 beira dovecot: Mailbox indexes in /app/home/gasi are in NFS mount. You must set mmap_disable=yes to avoid index corruptions. If you're sure this check was wrong, set nfs_check=no. /app/home is a NFS mounted filesystem, but

Dear all, I've been experiencing this problem and still can't find a solution for this. I want to have a dynamic quota for each virtual user.
