I've Google'd to exhaustion and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I'm not sure if the problem is TBird 3 or my Dovecot setup. The basic problem is that when I launch TBird and it grabs messages upon startup, it takes forever to supposedly pull them down. Once it's got them they sort relatively quickly into the proper IMAP (dovecot) folders. I don't use sieve

I just receive a copy of the official samba 3 howto, to be honest i'm rather disapoint with the content and layout. Well with free online version, i can't complaint, but with 'paid' version maybe i can complain to the author :-). Most of the contents are still the old documentation with few 'little' updation for samba3. Imo, its better if it can be rewrite from scratch

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to use Thunderbird as a local mail reader. So far I don't see any way to configure it other than as a POP3 or IMAP mail reader, but I get my mail locally and would like to try using Tbird to read it. What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ------------------------ ---- Do you

another OT: setting up new W10 laptop with TBird: user has three accounts, several hundred emails on old laptop BUT NO LONGER on server two of the accounts are on my Dovecot server, one on ISP server what's best way to transfer local emails: transfer TBird files laptop to laptop ? or, is there some way to sync old laptop to server, then retrieve on new laptop ? thanks, V

Hello, could someone help. I have installed Dovecot+SSL+TLS+Thunderbird and all is well except one thing. After installing TBird and adding the required data (smtp server and auth info, imap/pop server and auth info) I am able to view mail in my TBird Inbox BUT Trash and Sent don't work - it pops up saying folder doesn't exist on the server - can't the darn thing, auto create a folder

How do I get removed from this mailing list? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This weekend we had a runaway email endless loop. When it was killed after 18 hours, my inbox had 135,000 messages in it...there were two messages that were being endlessly sent and bounced and I'm on the postmaster alias. Thunderbird was able to do a mass select of one of the two messages, and deleted 65,000, but after that it locked up. I ended up firing up Pine to do the final

I'm using $ /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 2.0.15 on $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) and version 8 of Thunderbird. I use dovecot locally for internal only access to my email archives, of which I have many gigs of email archives. Over time I end up subscribing to a couple dozen different IMAP email folders. Problem is that periodically my list of subscribed folders

I have been diligently reading about namespace in the DC doc and what I can find in Google. Like the blind men and the elephant, I see the nature of some individual bits of namespace, some syntax and the overall purpose (overriding defaults and providing extensions), but I don't see the whole thing and how it is used. I am looking to do some maildir testing in what is a mbox default

My recent migration from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot has been marred by these errors: Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: IMAP(juha): Fixed index file ~user/Maildir/.Geekzone/dovecot.index: first_recent_uid_lowwater 431 -> 430 Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: IMAP(juha): Corrupted index file ~user/Maildir/.Geekzone/dovecot.index: Duplicate header extension keywords Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: child

I have Dovecot 2.1.17 on Centos, all working well since yesterday one user complaining he can not retrieve emails, TBird mail client says like '1 of 9' and, doesn't go any further. that's on several of his PCs using TBird, on a LAN behind f/wall, quite physically remote to server, server in Sydney, remote client is SEAsia looking at logs I see emails access, looking at server

Hi, I can't seem to get dovecot to work. When I connect with thunderbird, tbird complains that it can't find the settings for my email. When I connect with evolution, it seems to go through all the motions but it doesn't pick up the waiting messages. Those messages are marked Status: O s if it had read them. The log file for tbird looks like this: Jul 18 17:03:21 why dovecot:

My last message probably contained too much information. This one is more succient. I have a user, 'mark', who has been running a Thunderbird client on Windows to Dovecot server with Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication for over a year. I created a new Tbird account on a new Linux workstation for 'mark', also with Kerberos/GSSAPI and that worked just fine. I have another user,

All, This is slightly OT, but I figure a bunch of folks running IMAP servers should have some strong opinions on the topic. While working on a migration to Dovecot, I had the opportunity to move one account to a server running same. This is an in-house billing department box that 3-4 people share. In theory, this should work well - all the billing folks see the same email, save sent mail

This worked fine for years until I updated firefox and thunderbird recently. Now, however, when I click on a link in an email in thunderbird, rather than open the indicated webpage in firefox, nothing at all happens. network.protocol-handler.app.http in tbird's about:config specifies the executable /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh and running the latter at the CLI with a URL as an

Hello, Since running dovecot-1.0.rc2, tbird occasionally hangs when it's copying outbound mail to the Sent folder. Running beta8 and earlier I never saw this problem. Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? Thanks, Jack -- http://banners.wunderground.com/banner/gizmotimetemp/US/CA/San_Diego.gif

I've been goofing with this all day with 2.0.15 and I'm starting to realize that either a) I'm not that smart, b) it's been so long since I messed with namespaces that I'm going about it completely wrong, or c) it's just not possible. I haven't posted 'doveconf -n' and other details, because mainly I'm just looking for 'yes, this is possible' or
