[Dovecot] Missing Mailbox
by Nick 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hi List, I'm setting up a new Dovecot server and am having some issues getting Dovecot to see the mailbox correctly. I already have several mailboxes (From another Dovecot server) but my new install does not see them. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 w/ Dovecot 1.0.beta3. When I try to login, I get the following in the log. Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = ' nick(a)mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser= nick(a)mogmail.net Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): SELECT CONCAT('/srv/mail/','mogmail.net','/nick') AS home, '5000' AS uid, '5000' AS gid FROM users u, domains d WHERE u.email='nick(a)mogmail.net' AND d.domain='mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I2^I7117^I1 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I2^Inick(a)mogmail.net ^Ihome=/srv/mail/mogmail.net/nick^Iuid=5000^Igid=5000 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<nick(a)mogmail.net>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.129, lip=192.168.0.2 I'm concerned about the "^I" appearing all over the place.

[Dovecot] most of INBOX missing?
by William Lott 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Greetings. I'm having an issue with dovecot that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. Most of the mail in my INBOX has mysteriously disappeared and I'd like to get it back. It's all in the ~/Maildir/cur directory and dovecot reports that 1048 messages exist when given the SELECT imap command. But Thunderbird and the SEARCH imap command only list 25 messages: [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ ls Maildir/cur | wc -l 1048 [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED NAMESPACE] Logged in as wlott x SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 1048 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1117080198] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1700] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. x SEARCH ALL * SEARCH 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 x OK Search completed. [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ I'm running dovecot version 0.99.14-8 under Fedora Core 4. I saw on the dovecot website that 0.99 isn't supported anymore, but I'm hoping that someone can help me recover my lost email none the less. Thanks, -William

[Dovecot] Limiting number of IMAP connections per user
by Simon L Jackson 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hi, Is there a way of limiting the number of IMAP connections (i.e. processes) per user? Despite asking users to set their email client settings to limit themselves to 2 connections, some still have this set to 10 or more.

[Dovecot] Incorrect GSSAPI Service Name for POP3
by Tim Steiner 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

In pop3-login/client-authenticate.c, when sasl_server_auth_begin() is called, it does so with the service name of "POP3". GSSAPI uses this service name when obtaining its service credentials. The problem is that according to http://www.iana.org/assignments/gssapi-service-names , the service name should instead be simply "pop". This causes GSSAPI authentication to fail when used with a POP3 account. I have created a small patch that corrects this problem for GSSAPI only, as I do not know if other mechanisms are affected by this. --Tim Steiner ----------------------------START PATCH---------------------------- diff -ruN dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c --- dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:35:02.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:37:46.000000000 -0500 @@ -101,7 +101,11 @@ gss_name_t gss_principal; principal_name = t_str_new(128); - str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + if(strcmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0) { + str_append(principal_name, "pop"); + } else { + str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + } str_append_c(principal_name, '@'); str_append(principal_name, my_hostname); -----------------------------END PATCH-----------------------------

Is it possible to force a subscription to an IMAP folder? So that a user by default is subscribed to folder <foo> and cannot unsubscribe. -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]
