[Dovecot] 1.0 RC1 status #2
by Timo Sirainen 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

I've done several fixes since my original RC1 status mail. Most importantly I noticed that SEARCH command has been somewhat broken for a long time if the search condition contained OR or NOT conditions. Then again fixing that caused Dovecot to assert-crash for some searches. That should be fixed now. Hopefully I didn't break the SEARCH in other ways while doing this.. So, again, please test the latest CVS or the latest nightly snapshot from http://dovecot.org/nightly/ Especially I'm interested in: - Does SEARCH work correctly? - Does ioloop checks now work properly? There were mails about it being broken with kqueue and epoll. - Does mboxes with CR+LF linefeeds work correctly? I'm hoping to release the 1.0 RC1 late in sunday or in monday morning (EEST). Then a status update of my life in case you're interested: I got in pretty much everywhere I applied for: CS and biotech in Helsinki university and biotech in Tampere university. For Helsinki's biochem I'm the first in the waiting list, which means I almost certainly would get in there too. So, unless something suddenly changes my mind, I'm moving to Tampere in two months. I'm selling my current apartment, so now's your chance to live in the same place where most of Dovecot was designed and written ;) Or I think it could be a good investment also if you have the money. http://www.igglo.fi/ad.php?card_id=82322 has some information (in Finnish only), I'll get pictures from inside tomorrow. Would be nice if I didn't have to pay real estate agents (?) to sell it for me, so please buy it :) I'll keep my current job so this shouldn't affect the commercial side of Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Asterisks (*) in Folder Names disallowed?
by Daniel W 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

As far as I can see the RFC for IMAP should allow the * character in the folder name. This is certainly allowed in UW IMAP. Dovecot seems to object however with: ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: COPY 9975:9975 "mail/*myfolder" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name. Could this restriction be lifted? Best wishes, Daniel

Dear All I encountered some problem while i tried to configure Dovecot with LDAP. configuration directory: /usr/local/src/dovecot-1.0.beta8 configure command: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib --with-ldap /usr/local/include# ls -F lber.h lber_types.h ldap.h ldap_cdefs.h ldap_features.h ldap_schema.h ldap_utf8.h openssl/ slapi-plugin.h /usr/local/lib# ls *.a libcrypto.a liblber.a libldap.a libldap_r.a libssl.a My configure output: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam checkpassword (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: It does not seem to have LDAP configured. Did i miss out something on the configure options? or is there any PATH that i need to specify? Hope to hear from you soon! Thanking in advance. Joshua

[Dovecot] trying to build dovecot-sieve
by Sergey Ivanov 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile dovecot with dovecot-sieve, both from CVS. There is file dovecot-config.in.in in current dovecot module, which produce dovecot-config.in after ./configure'ing. But dovecot-sieve requires file dovecot-config to be in dovecot's directory. I think it is just typo, because after renaming dovecot-config.in to dovecot-config the building succeeded. -- Sergey Ivanov

[Dovecot] quotas on shared folders
by Nicolas Boullis 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi, After using dovecot 0.99.14 on a production server with full satisfaction, I'm now giving a try to 1.0beta8 (I know beta9 is out, but it's not yet available within Debian). The new features are great. Maildir++ quotas seem to work fine, and shared folders look promising (despite a few issues). My problem is that I could not fire out how to set quotas on shared folders. Is it possible? Cheers, Nicolas

[Dovecot] [PATCH, RFC 0/13] OTP: add auth_cache_remove()
by Andrey Panin 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

This patchset add support for One-Time-Password authentication mechanisms, both S/Key (RFC 1731) and OTP (RFC 2444) are implemented. Tested with mutt (uses cyrus sasl library for authentication). Patches were made against CVS HEAD. Please take a look.

In addition to mutt I've tested sylpheed and it is also delete messages from server correctly, i.e. they are removed from filesystem

[Dovecot] problem with dovecot and thunderbird while deleting
by the.buratino＠rambler.ru 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hello! I have very strange problem with dovecot and thunderbird while deleting messages. The problem is that they are not actually deleted from storage filesystem and if I later run mutt I can perfectly see them, though marked with 'D', so mutt ask to delete them on exit and this time they dissapear from filesystem. I enabled in thunderbird 'remove it iimediately' feature, but this doesn't help. When I delete message from mutt it removed from filesystem just fine. IMAP server: OS: FreeBSD 6.1p2 dovecot: dovecot-1.0.b9 Client: OS: Debian sarge Thunderbird: thunderbird 1.5.0.4 (from backports.org) Any suggestions ?
