[Dovecot] alternate sendmail binary for sieve redirect OT
by Robert Schetterer 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi , this isnt really a dovecot/postfix question in dove lda, there is sendmail_path = someone tried other progs here like mini_sendmail ? http://www.acme.com/software/mini_sendmail/ i.e for using a default from forwarder address when sending redirects by sieve....is a stupid idea? background, some other mail providers use a default sender forwarder mailaddress when redirect this may avoid problems at forwarding with spf etc any other idea to reach this goal, pipe etc? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] correct syntax for multiple ports
by Kilburn Abrahams 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi, What is the correct format to specify multple ports in dovecot 2. With dovecot 1.2 listen = *:143 *:6188 worked fine. I cannot find any mention in the wiki2 about the different combinations of listen, address and port parameters and dovecot complains about the combinations I tried. Does not seem to work 1. inet_listener imap { listen = *:143 *:6188 } 2. inet_listener imap { address = *:143 *:6188 } 3. inet_listener imap { port = 143, 6188 or port = 143 6188 } This start dovecot, but roundcube will not connect on port 143, although Thunderbird will connect on 1432 and 6188 listen = *, :: 1. inet_listener imap { port 143 port = 6188 } Regards K

[Dovecot] Phantom email message
by Marc Perkel 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Got sort of a strange problem on one email account. Everything works fine with Thunderbird/IMAP showing the correct unread message count. But on my DroidX smartphone one of my email accounts always shows one unread message, but I can't bring any unread messages up. It's like there's something there making it think there's a message when there isn't. The email client is K-9 mail Anyone have any ideas?

[Dovecot] --exec-mail
by David Woodhouse 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Most of my IMAP access is achieved by 'ssh $mailhost exec dovecot --exec-mail imap'. I'm testing Dovecot 2.0, and this doesn't seem to work any more — and I can't seem to work out how to make it work. The wiki page at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 has no mention of it. I looked through the git history to find the commit that broke it and see if I could find the replacement that way, but it was the commit entitled 'Initial commit for v2.0 master rewrite.', and wasn't particularly edifying. Once upon a time in the dim and distant past, I believe I used to run /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap directly. But that doesn't set the environment up correctly, so isn't the right way to do it... is it? -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] setting up Dovecot
by Scott Berry 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hello there, I am a new user of Dovecot. I am using version 1.2.12. Here is the config file: I attached the dovecot.conf file as a screenshot using dovecot -n because I am blind and haven't quite figured out how to copy from the terminal to Gnome yet. My intentions here are as follows: 1. To allow only pop3s because I want to use ssl for security. 2. I am going to be using fetchmail to grab the mail and give it to dovecot. 3. There will be three people adventually grabbing their mail through pop3s. Another question I have is when you tell someone to configure their mail client through pop3s how does that work as far as the server name meaning like most ISp's have pop.whatever.whatever.? Also I am using a smarthost with postfix to send out the mail through Google how do I tell someone how to configure the smtp server in their mail client such as Isp's such as smtp.whatever.whatever. I am using Windows for two of the clients with Windows Mail on a Vista machine and Windows Mail on a Windows 7 machine and Evolution on a Ubuntu linux machine. Looks to me like everything is copeastetic except for how to log in. The SSL cert file in "/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem" is a bit tricky cause I didn't create the cert so I am not sure of the password but I did try my normal root password. Not sure if that works. Other than this actually Dovecot is quite easy to config.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.7 Virtual plugin
by Henrique Fernandes 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Well, it seens the virtual plugins is not working correctly or i miss undertood how to configurate it. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual as this wiki says, I should be possible to make an ndeamespace namespace { prefix = virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual } And in side of ~/Maildir/virtual create virtual folders and inside of those folders create dovecot-vitual. But it does not work. Right if i make this conf, on my imap client it shows a folder called virtual ( the prefix, or whtever i put in there ) and show nothing, only shows something if i create a dovecot-virtual inside of ~/Maildir/virtual/ i would appreciate if someone explain what i am doind wrong. Thanks! my dovecot -n # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/TesteEmail/Maildir mail_plugins = " virtual" namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace virtual { location = virtual:~/TesteEmail/virtual/ prefix = virtual/ separator = / } passdb { driver = pam } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " virtual virtual" } []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] $MAIL environment variable to override mail_location works in v1.2.16 but not in v2.0.7 for /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
by Giam Teck Choon 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hi, For the past day, I have been researching about making dovecot to support mailfront (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) imapfront-auth natively and able to use mailfront imapfront-auth with dovecot imap v1.2.16 without starting any dovecot related services and no /etc/dovecot.conf file is required. More information about this can be read at: http://lists.untroubled.org/?list=bgware&cmd=showthread&month=201011&thread… However, same trick can't be used for dovecot v2.0.7. First error is /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf must be exists so I just simply touch /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf with empty content to bypass that error. I noticed v2.0.7 is not using $MAIL environment variable to override mail_location? I have read the following: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation Any idea to override mail_location setting? I have tried various setting of environment variables such as below: --------------------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<--------------------- #!/bin/sh # $MAIL, $HOME, $MAILDIR, $MAILBOX are the same in mailfront # imapfront-auth if [ -n "$MAIL" ]; then # make dovecot imap escape colon by replacing single : to :: export MAIL=maildir:`echo $MAIL | sed 's@:@::@g'` fi export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail" # For knowing all env. uncomment the below line and # see /tmp/imapd-log.txt # printenv >>/tmp/imapd-log.txt exec "$@" --------------------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<--------------------- The above script is being placed between imapfront-auth and dovecot imap (/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap). Thanks for any kind assistance. Kindest regards, Giam Teck Choon

[Dovecot] dovecot2.0+ldap auth problems

10 Nov '10

I'm using a config from dovecot 1.2 adapted to 2.0 After update config, and restart dovecot service: If I do a doveadm user user1 then it is found correctly. If I do a doveadm auth user1 then it is ask for the password user, and it's running correctly. But if I tray to login by telnet using IMAP then I get: . login user1 pass1 Connection closed by foreign host. I can see at logs a Info line with: Internal login failre with auth failed It's very odd that with doveadm runs ok and but not with IMAP.

[Dovecot] need to block user by IP address (tried denyhosts, xinetd, iptables etc)
by Tom 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi, I am kind of restricted to using packaged versions of software due to company policy, and we have f12 on our mail server with dovecot-1.2.15-2.fc12.i686 package. we have recently had some brute force attacks on the pop3 and imapd and this results in many processes being used for login attempts. Our dovecot is hosted on a Virtual Private Server which restricts access to IPTABLEs and also make a limit on the number of processes that can be running So I can't restrict the attackers IP addresses via IPTABLES, as we don't have access to that. I can't really patch dovecot as we are reliant on the distro packages. I spent some time trying to get dovecot to run under xinetd but had no luck, and I read some reports that it was not possible using recent versions. I was hoping some advice on what avenue I should proceed with to automatically block brute force attacks on the dovecot server, (that dont use iptables) Thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] emails getting mangled when dragging from Exchange account to IMAP shared folders
by Scott Goodwin 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

I'm having the most frustrating issue, and I'm at a loss for what is happening. I'm not even sure it is with Dovecot, but that's why I'm posting this here... if it isn't a dovecot issue, maybe someone can get me headed in the right direction? I've posted relevant dovecot and config info at the bottom of this post. Here's the scenario: We recently migrated our email from Postfix+Dovecot+Amavis+SA to Exchange (not my choice, unfortunately). Now, users have to use Outlook (as opposed to before, when they could choose between Outlook and Thunderbird), and have the new Exchange account set up, as well as their old IMAP account, which they still use for shared project folders. So, emails come in to Exchange, then they drag the emails from the Exchange mailbox to the shared branch under their IMAP account, and into the appropriate job folder. Emails to one specific user in my organization (let's call him Roy(a)Ocean.org) is having his emails mangled when dragging certain items from his Exchange mailbox to the IMAP account. I can't reproduce the issue with any other user. Also, this only seems to happens with emails from one other specific domain (let's call them tornado.org) So, in summary, user1(a)Tornado.orgsend an email to Roy(a)Ocean.organd Sue(a)Ocean.org. Both drag the email from their Exchange box into any folder (shared or otherwise) in the IMAP tree. Sue's copy makes it in just fine, while Roy's copy gets mangled.

What puzzles me is why Roy's gets broken here, when the others' do not; they're the exact same email, so you'd think they would all get broken. I can't figure out A) where that byte sequence is coming from (our Exchange server, Tornado.net's exchange server, or one of the two of our external spam filtering service... they use BigFish.com, and we use MxLogic), or B) if that's even the issue. I've rebuilt Roy's entire machine, reconfigured Outlook from scratch, still happening. When he logs onto another machine and sets up his Exchange account on another outlook, it still happens. Our Exchange administrator (I don't have access to Exchange) says there is nothing wrong with his Exchange account, for what it's worth. I don't expect anyone to have the solution here, since there are many variables, and there is other info that would probably be needed. What I DO want is to be pointed in the right direction on how I might track this down. For example, what is the path that this mangled email would take in this case? Even with full logging in Dovecot and postfix, I can't see any info on the path that this email follows in our system, and where it might be getting mangled. Does it actually go through the same path as an email that was actually sent to the IMAP account, or is it different when it is dragged in from another account in the same mail client? Is this more likely a problem with Postfix, or Sieve, or....? (I've disabled Amavis and SA to get them out of the picture, and same problem).

Re: [Dovecot] Todays Performance Data for 2.0.x
by Timo Sirainen 09 Nov '10

Dividing the imap processes's system CPU usage by number of imap processes: imap : 0.478872 of 975 imap : 0.460797 of 1242 imap : 0.409641 of 2482 imap : 0.424035 of 4711 imap : 0.488494 of 6148 imap : 0.56809 of 7031 imap : 0.734864 of 6965 So it's about 0.5 seconds of system CPU per imap login. I also get something like 0.3 seconds of system CPU per imap login on my system. Also setting: service imap { service_count = 0 } (i.e. reuse imap processes) reduced the system CPU usage to almost nothing. But if you use different UIDs for different users you can't do that. So, yeah, looks like the process initialization is wasting time somewhere. I'll look further into it.

Is there a way I can setup "trash" folders to be stored in a different subdirectory using mdbox? The goal is to provide a way to identify the trash folders for my backup solution (rsync) and avoid copying trash. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] how can I use different LDAP config for LDA and AUTH?
by Zhou, Yan 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi there, I am setting up mail client with DoveCot and, at the same time, use Postfix to deliver message to DoveCot via LDA. I want to support having user name "jsmith" on my mail client, and that gets all messages for email address: dovecotdemo@domain. (The user name is different from what is in the email address). In addition, all user & password look up is handled by LDAP. Here is my problem: 1. my mail client will login as "jsmith", that goes through LDAP to find mail/home/password for this user. (this matches user name) 2. When postfix delivers a message, DoveCot LDA will find a match with email address "dovecotdemo@domain", it goes through the same LDAP configuration. (this matches email address). You can see the two search criteria are different, but by default they use the same passdb and userdb configuration. I want to use a different LDAP config. file for LDA to use, where it will match the email address (so that it is different from the default dovecot-ldap.conf, which is used by authentication). DoveCot Deliver can specify a separate configuration file with "-c", so I tried that. But I cannot get LDA to use a different configuration. Would should be an example of config file used by Deliver? Anyone running into this problem? Thanks, Yan NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

[Dovecot] 2.0, hourly performance stats

I'm getting constantly high numbers of page reclaims & involuntary context switches for dovecot/auth. page reclaims = minor faults = cpu switching back to system-mode, But why is the auth process doing that so excessively? Same for the large number of involuntary context switches... Attached is my "dovecot -n" output.

[Dovecot] Expunge -A cannot find users
by Kilburn Abrahams 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi List, If I use doveadm expunge in this format expunge will delete the email doveadm expunge -u test(a)planetseafood.com mailbox Archive ON '8-Nov-2010' But in this format doveadm expunge -A mailbox Archive ON '8-Nov-2010', it will list all the users in the database and display the following and no messages are expunged. doveadm(test@planetseafood.com@planetseafood.com): Info: User no longer exists, skipping. The iterate_query = SELECT username AS username, domain FROM mailbox which is correct for the DB layout. I am not using the expire plugin. Is this a permissions issue? Thanks Kilburn

[Dovecot] Estimación de horas del cambio a Dovecot 2.0
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Actualmente tenemos dovecot 1.2.15 que ha demostrado ser bastante estable, pero con el que podemos tener problemas de corrupción en ficheros de índices de Dovecot (dovecot-uidlist). Este problema, podría llegar a ocasionar la descarga de todos los correos desde el cliente del usuario. En Dovecot 2.0 tenemos una mejor gestión sobre NFS mediante un nuevo sistema llamado director. Con este director se consigue que dovecot haga a su vez de proxy/balanceador e intente direccionar las conexiones de un usuario a un mismo servidor si este permite conexiones. En resumen, conseguimos evitar escrituras "concurrentes" sobre cachés de NFS que podrían ocasionar corrupción en determinados índices de dovecot. Para este cambio básicamente deberíamos repetir ciertas pruebas que hemos realizado para dovecot 1.2 así como ciertas tareas. 1. Actualizar configuración 2. Actualizar plugin TrataSPAM (MarcaSPAM/DesmarcaSPAM) Usando skel creado por Timo durante las sesiones de Málaga. 3. Pruebas de tiempos de indexado con SQUAT 4. Búsquedas concurrentes. 5. Pruebas de IMAP IDLE. 6. Migración { Keywords, suscriptions, flags, status...} 7. Condiciones de estrés. 8. Actualizar Doc. En una primera estimación. El total de estas tareas no debería superar las 45-50 horas. A cambio obtendríamos: 1. Un mejor soporte por parte de Timo. 2. doveadm para realizar búsquedas, gestión del director, pruebas de depuración... 3. Mejoras en el comportamiento ante storage en NFS. 4. Mejoras en la coordinación con SOLR para cuando comencemos con el buscador avanzado con ficheros adjuntos. 5. Mejoras para conexiones concurrentes. La razón por la que no empezamos directamente con dovecot 2.0 es porque no preveíamos que fuera relativamente estable en poco tiempo. Observando la lista de correos y después de la conversación con Timo, la última release de dovecot 2.0 es lo suficientemente estable como para usarse en sistemas de producción. Si lo creéis necesario, podemos organizar una reunión para tomar la decisión, aunque sí que esta reunión debería ser para esta semana o a principios de la siguiente.

[Dovecot] dovecot + sieve

Hi, In ower mail system we use postfix and dovecot v1.2.10 with sieve plugin and i think is work fine but..... i need to have access to variables values like in these test script require ["enotify", "variables", "envelope"]; keep; notify :importance "1" :message "TEST SIEVE ${from}: ${subject}" "mailto:i_not_exist@hotmail.com"; but when i receive message, the values for "${from}" and "${subject}" are empty. i don't know the reasons about these (i'm some lost with these issue).. if help ... i put in master.cf (postfix) these value for dovecot delivery: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail:mail argv=/etc/dovecot/libexec/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} ¿is here the problem or what could be? thanks in advance! *Salu2 ;)*

Summarising mail standards (WRT headers) There is a limit of 4096 characters per line. If Outlook is breaking at less than that it's a bug. If the References: line is longer than that then it should have been truncated by the sending MUA - there's no provision for multiline References headers (which are a non-standardised import from Usenet anyway).

[Dovecot] Last login tracking with login_executable
by Denny Lin 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.14, and I've read PostLoginScripting on the wiki. Is there any way to make Dovecot use the same username/password for database access as userdb and passdb queries? Specifying the password with -p doesn't seem like a good idea, so I'm wondering if it can be handled by Dovecot directly. Or is it possible to track last logins with a plugin similar to quota? -- Denny Lin

[Dovecot] Keep a copy of email.
by Henrique Fernandes 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Can dovecot-lda, keep a copy of any email that it receives in a diferente folder ? Like if user(a)domain.com get an email. It goes to user(a)domain.com inbox and goes to other folder..diferente that his mailboxes ? I want this with all users. Can it be done ? If not, does any one have any ideia how could it be done ? We are having serius problems with backups, with this we gona be able to at least save one or two days of each emails, than rotate them again. I though about using postfix always_bcc, but would be everyones emails only in one account. Though in migh use sieve for filter this acount and separete it for each folder.. but i don't guess sieve could get a parameter from the email to make a filter.. or can it ? like, if email from user2(a)domain.com it goes to user2 folder, but this user2 would be variable, otherwise i have to create a sieve too bigm and would work i guess. Well, i am open to ideas. Thanks! []'sf.rique

There is a native way to set/get a configuration to one plugin, to various users ? Like this: my_plugin{ user_a=configurations user_b=configurations user_...... user_z=configurations } I Have plugin and it can be enable/disabled by user. And i have a lot of users, like 10 m. i think if i do like this: my_plugin { configurations=user_a,user_b,user....,user_z } Can get much memory to read every line of configuration... Tks !

[Dovecot] automatic un-subscribe ?

03 Nov '10

Is there a way for an unsubscribe from a previously (auto-)subscribed folder? I'm building an email archiving system, and archived mails are organized by annum. A user will have e.g. 3 years of archive available. Currently that would mean this user would be auto-subscribed to private folders named 2007, 2008, 2009 and current. Starting January 2011 though that would change to 2008, 2009, 2010 and current. Is there a way of auto-unsubscribing 2007 ? /Per Jessen, Zürich

Hi Timo and Everyone.... There is a way to know when a folder it's been deleted ? And if this folder is empty ? Let's explain why... I intercept the expunge function, to treat my files expunged, but when i expunge a folder, this function it's not called, and my emails don't get my treatment to be expunged. Basically i need to do something like this: It's empty ? No --> return OK but Dont Delete folder, because it's not empty. Yes --> Return OK and Delete the Folder to be expunged. Tks !

[Dovecot] Virtual inbox folder bug
by Antonio Henrique Oliveira 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi all, I've been using dovecot as our internal mail server for quite some time. It works very well. Each of our mailboxes have 1000+ messages (some have more than 4-5000 messages). I have recently started using virtual folders and, using an adaptation of an example script in the dovecot site (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual) to have a virtual folder changed to act as inbox. All of my email is delivered in some folder other than the real inbox via sieve scripts. My inbox is, therefore, a virtual folder, which only displays the unread emails on all the folders in the account. Everything works fine *except* that, when I mark an email as read or when I open an email directly on the inbox, it does not disappear from the inbox (as it should since it is not unread after being open or being marked as read). I'm not sure if this is a bug, a "feature", or a misconfiguration.... :) I'm using dovecot 1.2.13 on Debian Etch (installed using the backports repository). Attached is the file with the output of "dovecot -n", the script for the virtual folder and the custom login script to change the virtual folder to act as the inbox. I'm using Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows XP SP3 as the main mail client and also using an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) to access the same account. Regards, -- Anto'nio Henrique A.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.20 on OS X - ACL deliver Problem
by R. Svejda 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I am trying to create an archive postoffice by bcc all e-mail from the "real" mail server to an existing OS X server and by setting all ACL to read-only. Problem: deliver reports: "Fatal: mail_full_filesystem_access=yes is incompatible with ACLs" It seems, that the failure is independent of the existence of an ACL file. I cannot change machines (must be OS X) and I do not like to compile anything on that box (but I could re-configure stuff). Can anybody help how to get around this error with existing hard and software? Thanks in advance, Radim from /var/log/mailaccess.log (fatal error towards the end) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib01_acl_plugin.so deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): master in: USER 1 rsw service=deliver Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): lookup user=rsw Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): directory lookup for: user=rsw deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: rsw deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: uid=1026 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: gid=20 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: quota_rule=*:storage=1024000 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: mail=maildir:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: mail_location=maildir:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: sieve=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E/dovecot.sieve deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: sieve_dir=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: auth input: sieve_storage=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od[getpwnam_ext](rsw): uid=1026 gid=20 state=0xe quota=1000 guid=3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E name=RSw loc=osxmini2010.fos4.intra alt=(null) fwd=(null) Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): user RSw exists more than once Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): record name=RSw, uid=1026, gid=20 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args=noenforcing deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1048576000 messages=0 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: Quota warning: bytes=1048576000 (100%) messages=0 command=/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-exceeded.sh deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: acl username = rsw deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: owner = 1 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (null) deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: acl username = rsw deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl: owner = 1 deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Info: acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (null) deliver(rsw): Nov 01 20:02:26 Fatal: mail_full_filesystem_access=yes is incompatible with ACLs Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): user=RSw, quota=*:storage=1024000 Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): od(rsw): data store location=maildir:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E Nov 1 20:02:26 osxmini2010 dovecot[3662]: auth(default): master out: USER 1 rsw uid=1026 gid=20 quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing quota_rule=*:storage=1024000 mail=maildir:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E mail_location=maildir:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E sieve=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E sieve_storage=/var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/3BB7256A-B055-4DC3-AD4E-79B34DCAB96E <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< from dovecotd -n (aka dovecot -n on normal Linux) PS: despite Darwin "10.4.1" it is a updated 10.6.

I also removed all the TB profiles in C:\Documents and settings, and deleted/created the account a few times. Since Timo said it is not immediate to reproduce, I post the whole IMAP conversation up to that point: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. 1 authenticate plain + <...omissis...> 1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in 2 namespace * NAMESPACE (("INBOX."
