[Dovecot] ACL in sub-folders
by Imobach González Sosa 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, I've set up some shared folders and I'm controlling the access to them with the ACL plugin. As far as I know, ACL rules are not applied to sub-folders, right? So, when a user adds a new sub-folder, I need to add a dovecot-acl file granting read permissions to others users, right? Does exists any way to implement it using some dovecot feature? Or must I find my way? Just to be sure :) Thank you in advance. -- Imobach González Sosa Banot.net http://www.banot.net/

Not true! simple way: Just change the default config TB create your account from with the settings you need. You can find the file under your program dir i.e. C:\Programme\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref Compare the defaults to your working set of setting and change them accordingly. You can activate TLS or CRAM-MD5 and so an. You can also predefine LDAP servers etc. more elaborated way: Mozilla Mission Contol: -> http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/MCD,_Mission_Control_Desktop_AKA_AutoC… Hope it helps! Hans

Acutally I really don't want Dovecot to handle quota on my home directory, I only want Dovecot to hand quota on /var/mail. That's why I put "noenforcing" in configuration file. If I didn't put "noenforcing", Dovecot can't even display quota information on /var/mail. My question is isn't "noenforcing" can tell Dovecot to ignore that mount point? It works when querying quota status but not when modifying mail folder on that mount point. Grandy

Re: [Dovecot] Root folder path problem
by Yavuz Maslak 12 Jul '08

As I said previous my mail, if I don't set any value in "Root folder path" option, my sent mails are stored in main "sent items" of Outlook Express. These mails aren't stored "sent items" of imap section.

OK. > Therefore I set "INBOX" in "Root folder path" option. Why? My guess is that it doesn't work because you set this.

I use dovecot1.x. for imap on qmail. I also use OExpress to receive my mails. My sent mails is stored in main "sent items" of Outlook Express. Therefore I set "INBOX" in "Root folder path" option. But when I send an email to anywhere the mail sends without problem but I am getting an error as following; Some of the messages in your Outbox Folder could not be copied to your Sent Items. How can I correct that ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Using tags instead of folders?
by Patrick Nagel 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hi, currently most people store their messages in some sort of folder hierarchy, so that they can find them later easily. Here, for example, mails that are connected to a project are being stored in /CompanyName/ProjectNumber folders. Now I was wondering if there is any reason against using tags instead of a folder hierarchy, because tags are better when it comes to mails that belong to multiple projects (maybe even belonging to multiple companies) at once. All mails could then be stored in one folder/mailbox, fulltext search indexing would work well. You could search for a tag that consists of the ProjectNumber and would get all mails that belong to that project, just as if you would have opened that folder in the old hierarchy. You could save this search as a 'Search Folder' (talking in Thunderbird terms). Then I looked at how Thunderbird implements those tags when using IMAP. It stores them as IMAP keywords. Dovecot stores the first 26 flags in the filename, because it will only use one letter. Mapping between client's tag name and the letter is being done in dovecot-keywords files (one for each mailbox). If there are more IMAP keywords than 26, they will be stored in the dovecot.index file. (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir) Now imagine we want to have 1000s (maybe 10000s) of different tags (=IMAP keywords) - instead of folders. Can this be recommended? What happens if the index file gets corrupted for some reason? (I had to delete dovecot.index files before...). What happens if the Thunderbird profile breaks? What happens if we want to move on to another client? Are there other ways to implement 'tagging' instead of a hierarchy?
