[Dovecot] debs for 1.0?
by Lorens 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hi, 0.99 is running nicely on my sarges, but I need pop3_uidl_format = %f for Courier compatibility. I can't find any debs more recent than test22 of over a year ago (those are at http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/) Even though google turns up http://hemma.tobbe.nu/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming/dovecot_1.0.test46-1_i3… searching for dovecot on packages.debian.org (any distribution or source) only yields 0.99.14 and 0.99.20050712. I know Jaldhar called for vounteers to take over, but I don't feel qualified... but I've managed to do away with all non-deb installations, so if I have to I'll make a .deb myself, is there maybe an already-written script to do that with dovecot? Thanks for suggestions.

[Dovecot] vpopmail directory permissions denied
by bclements＠io-networks.com 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I've moved from a postfix setup to a qmail/vpopmail setup I've setup the dovecot.conf file for vpopmail That works fine, users can log in, but the problem is when they go to see their folders. Nothing is there. INBOX, Drafts, nothing. This is using any imap client, imp, evolution, outlook, outlook express This is using 99.14 and the latest vpopmail/qmail I looked at the directory structure and everything is there. The dovecot log file says something about permissions denied. I am using freebsd 4.10 Anybody have a clue on whats going on? -Brent ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

The problem is I don't know how to upload it to backports.org but while I get that sorted out you can get the files from http://www.braincells.com/backports/ (It's not aptable, you'll have to download the packages and manually install them with dpkg -i) -- Jaldhar H.

[Dovecot] Strange index problem
by Andrew Hutchings 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi, OK, I have 2 servers accessing the same mailboxes via NFS (indexes on each servers local HDD). They are on a round robin connection system. I have had a mailbox (customer using Eudora for Mac and storing mail for a certain amount of days) that on one server says there are 281 messages and the other says there are 194 messages. Of course this leads to re-downloading the difference. The mails that are invisible to the second machine are not sequential, they are at random places in the mailbox. Deleting the indexed on the machine that is inconsistent seems to fix it. We seem to get this problem about once a week or 2 over 6000 mailboxes.
