similar to: Telnet Listing of IMAP mailboxes

Hi, Certain IMAP folder problems started popping up with Squirrelmail with the 1.1beta10 version of Dovecot (and possibly earlier versions). Looked into it and I am seeing odd behavior with the LIST command. Here is how to reproduce problem, unless I'm missing something obvious: a001 login dean <password> a001 OK Logged in. a002 list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked)

In prepping our IMAP migration to Dovecot, I've hit upon a small issue: the "IMAP server directory" which Thunderbird users have set in the "advanced" prefs. Our old IMAP server seems to set your current directory to ~. This wound up causing users to set their IMAP server directory to "/home/<user>/mail/" so that their mailboxes would be found: --> A104

Hi, using ACL plugin with dovecot 1.1.1 I expected that a Maildir was listed as * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "Foldername" if "create" (k) permission is not set in ACLs and there doesn't exists any subfolders. But to my surprise, dovecot gives the following output: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Foldername" Therefore the client (here:

Hello all, I recently switched to dovecot on my FC4 server from UW-IMAP on my Mac OS X 10.3 machine and I was able to get my inbox and my trash box to be seen without any issues but all of my other mailboxes don't seem to show up. My mail directory is ~/mail and that is where I placed all of my mailboxes that I moved from my mac, but when I log into my new server using SSL/IMAP, only my

Hi all, I've been experimenting with Dovecot; tests with Maildir seemed to work fine. However, now I'm trying with mbox folders, and I'm having a problem where I do not get an INBOX listed using pine. Outlook Express and IMP show it fine. I snooped part of the session, which appears to go like this (it is slightly garbled, sorry -- I couldn't get rawlog to work by creating

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a

In a formerly working environment suddenly clients aren't notified of new emails and can't retrieve new emails. Server is Ubuntu 11.04 dovecot 1.2.15. Clients which fail are a Pre2 webOS 2.1 and TouchPad webOS 3.0 (those are OS versions, I don't know which particular flavor/version the IMAP clients are); there is also a Thunderbird 3.1.11 client on the same system as the server which

Hello, After upgrading from 1.2.x to 2.0.x I'm having problems using sent folder in Webmail applications like roundcube mail and squirrelmail. Relevant config dovecot.conf: mail_location = mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u Different LIST behaviour from rawlog: 1.2.x: with Prefix ~/Mail A002 LIST "" "~/Mail/sent" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/"

I need some help here... ;-) I'm experimenting with global ACLs, but just fail to understand very basic behaviors. So, before digging into the source code, I would really be delighted if someone could immediately point a mistake I'm making and miserably overlooking. The output of dovecot -n is provided at the end of this email. Just in case, conforming to the suggestion made in

We're converting UW-IMAP users here to dovecot. Some of them have seen the error message issued when Thunderbird clients try to delete folders and I understand what's going on (from previous postings) that Dovecot doesn't support mbox subfolders within folders. What puzzles me is that many of these users already have folders within folders (I've found typically 2 levels of

Hi One weirdness when going through the code: (We are migrating from WU-IMAP and have users with a mixture of ~/IMAP/ and ~/Mail/ for storing mail - but all user INBOX=~/.email thankfully. IMAP client config is even more random and we have 1800 users. I have been playing with namespaces to translate various prefixes ala: default_mail_env = mbox:%h/:INBOX=%h/.email:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/%n #

I'm still battling my way through using hidden namespaces to hide the change from UW-IMAP to Dovecot 1.0-stable from my users. The latest problem is that some (probably many) users have their IMAP folder prefix set to "~/mail" rather than "~/mail/". I have hidden namespaces with prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/". LIST

I've just switched from UW-IMAP to Dovecot v1.1.beta16, and I'm having a bit of a problem with a difference in the behaviour of the LIST command. What I'm seeing is: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1] Logged in as jp3 a list test/ * * LIST (\Noselect

Hi All, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.9 and have noticed the IMAP list command does not appear to send a sorted list of folders with list command. For example on our Cyrus server I get a sorted list of folders (with INBOX listed first): 2 list "" "*" * LIST (\Noinferiors) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "CalProject" * LIST

Hello list, i use dovecot 2.2.18 compiled on my own and want to report an odd behaviour when using a folder for special_use \Archive. In my case it is not working when using some special foldernames (mbox). I compared to version 2.2.15 which i found pre-packaged on launchpad.net, same behaviour. All other special_use Folder work like expected. My situation: We authenticate users using

We just changed from UW imap last night and one of our bigger problems right now is that the ~/mail/ compatibility namespace doesn't seem to work. dovecot 2.0.8 Dec 15 12:01:52 zen.engr.oregonstate.edu dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.warning] imap(tom2): Warning: Subscriptions file /nfs/rack/u4/t/tom2/mail/.subscriptions: Ignoring invalid entry: ~/mail/foo1/folder1 Dec 15 12:01:52

[1.1.4 with http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/b61424a50786 applied] I'm trying to use namespaces as described here for UW-IMAP compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces But I'm getting a problem with the hidden namespaces showing up in the LIST output. Here is a simplified transcript. The ~/Mail folder contains just two folders. The config given to imapd is as follows:

We're using dovecot 2.1.3 and I've been doing some testing with 2.1.7. We have shared mail (maildir) folders working along with our default mbox mailboxes. Our problem is trying to get this to work in a reasonable fashion with our iPhone or iPad mail.app clients. It's well known that they don't honor the subscription list; they show all available mail folders and do not

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

Hello all I am using Freebsd 4.10stable, postfix 2.1.5 with SASL and TLS, procmail version 3.22 and binc IMAP 1.2.8 binc uses IMAPdir style mail boxes, Spam assassin, and ClamAV. Wish to convert to dovecot but your program does not support IMAPdir does it??? also i have many user accounts that i wish to use untouched if possible. I guess this is a migration question for the most part i am
