<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Hi all!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have setup dovecot (RPM) on a Fedora Core 2 machine using
LDAP for authentication. It all seems to work pretty well, except for
simultaneous logins. I am using mbox files to store the mail as follows (from
/etc/dovecot.conf):<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>default_mail_env = mbox:~/.mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>So the INBOX file is stored in /var/mail, other mailfolders
are stored in the users home directory in the .mail folder. Because the /home
directory of this machine is mounted from fileserver through NFS, I have set
the INDEX=MEMORY options (see <a href="http://www.dovecot.org/doc/nfs.txt">http://www.dovecot.org/doc/nfs.txt</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>As said before I am getting some problems when using
simultaneous logins for the same mail account (for instance when multiple users
that work on a specific project want to share a mail account containing all the
mail about the project in addition to their private account). The client used
is Microsoft Outlook and besides some outlook specific problems, it also gives
these errors (translated from Dutch) when many users are simultaneously logged
in to the same account:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>‘Your server reported that a UID does not comply with
the IMAP standard, which signifies an error on the server.’<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>‘The UID of a message is unexpectedly deleted. This
signifies an error on the server.’<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am not sure where to look… I assume a problem with
the index files? Does NFS cause the problem? Will this be fixed if I switch to
maildirs?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I would be grateful for any tips on the subject!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
