[Dovecot] uw-imap compatability hack?
by Simon Annetts 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi all Apologies if this question has already been asked before... I'm migrating from a uw-imap setup where the mail folders were in a subdir mail/ in the users' home directories. All of the clients are configured with 'IMAP server directory' set to mail/ (Thunderbird) and it would be difficult to change this on the clients (there are 1000s of them) I want to use maildir and I have converted the original mbox files in ~mail/ to maildir format. So in ~Maildir/ I now have: cur dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist .Drafts new .Sent-Items .Spam subscriptions tmp .Trash if I remove the mail/ setting from 'IMAP server directory' in the client, then everything works as expected and all the folders are visible. With this setting in however, only the inbox is visible and attempts to click on another folder, say Trash result in the client error: Mailbox doesn't exist .mail.Trash I've tried various namespace configurations I found in the namespaces wiki example but none seem to work. What I would really like to happen is for dovecot to ignore this setting supplied by the client and not to prepend .mail onto the folders it is looking for. Is there a clever namespace that will do this for me, or some other setting or symlink trickery? Ultimately I want to support clients that might have both mail/ and nothing set in this box. Using dovecot 1.07. kind regards Simon -- This e-mail and any attachment is confidential.

[Dovecot] How to configure dovecot to listen on multiple separate port numbers
by Rick Thomas 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Is there any way to tell dovecot to listen for imap/imaps requests on all interfaces on multiple separate ports? For example, can I do this: protocol imap { listen = *:10143 listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:10993 ssl_listen = *:993 ... } Thanks! Rick

[Dovecot] Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v2.0 merged into one repository
by Stephan Bosch 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, I've merged the Mercurial repositories for Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v2.0 into one repository: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole This simplifies the build process significantly. It also allows tightly integrating the implementation of the script storage with the main Sieve library, enabling the possibility to implement alternate means of script storage, like for instance a SQL or LDAP database. Building ManageSieve is still optional as outlined in the INSTALL file. The old v2.0 repositories will be archived soon. I'm slowly but surely progressing towards a first Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.0. Regards, Stephan

[Dovecot] Allow POP3 per Domain
by Hauke Hagedorn 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi List, I wonder, if it is possible to "switch" POP3 on or off for specific domains. Actually I want to disallow POP3-logins for a certain domain, whereas users can still login into a webinterface via IMAP. Curently I use Dovecot 1.1.11 on current Ubuntu 9.10 with a mySQL backend for authentication. With kind regards Hauke

[Dovecot] problems running dsync
by joakim＠verona.se 12 Jan '10

First I had to do "chmod a+rw /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb" to avoid permission problems. I assume this isnt how I should do it right?

got it, I have extdata working fine now for simple commands like redirect. vacation doesn't seem to be working properly - in that a message is not returned to the sender. I'll continue to test this with and without extdata and report back if I still can't get this to work by the end of my day (~18:00 @ UTC+11) I have also updated the wiki with sieve plugin testing information http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot "Script Compling with Sieve Plugins" Cheers, -Martin Foster Stephan Bosch wrote : > Martin F.

There is no possibility that something wrong is with database, cause earlier I have been testing quotadict and dovecot updated my quota fields (bytes/messages) in another table. Best regards and thx for any info
