[Dovecot] v2.0.11 released

07 Mar '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz.sig Looks like v2.0.10 was a bit troublesome release. I expect this one to last longer. * dotlock_use_excl setting's default was accidentally "no" in all v2.0.x releases, instead of "yes" as in v1.1 and v1.2. Changed it back to "yes". - v2.0.10: LDAP support was broken - v2.0.10: dsyncing to remote often hanged (timed out in 15 mins)

I've got a Samsung Captivate running K-9 Mail. It could definitely have some bugs. Sometimes if I delete a message on my phone, I'll see it show up in the Trash folder but not disappear from the folder it was deleted from. It's just not consistent. but it is better than it was before. I'll look in the logs and see if I see anything interesting. Thanks again,

[Dovecot] Multiple Concurrent IMAP Connections For Same User
by Nigel Webber 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi I've been using courier for some time, but have just built a new box and am using dovecot (V1.2.9), Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I have a question regarding multiple concurrent imap connections and how to get dovecot to behave in the same way that courier does. I have searched the wiki, but find little relevant to my specific issue. Courier-Imap Behaviour If I have thunderbird pointed at the 'Inbox' folder via IMAP, then connect another IMAP client to the same mail account (in this case an iPhone), and then delete an email using the iphone, then after a couple of seconds, the inbox shown by Thunderbird updates, removing the now deleted email. It does this without my having to touch Thunderbird. Dovecot behaviour Performing the same test on a different mailbox, this time hosted via Dovecot, I again see the two views, one in Thunderbird and one on the iPhone, but when I delete the email on the iPhone, the change is not reflected in the view on Thunderbird. If I select the email on Thunderbird, then it has no content. If I restart thunderbird, the deleted email is still shown. I have to delete (the already deleted) the email also in thunderbird before it finally dissapears. How can I get the courier behaviour where the inbox in one email client automagically reflects the changes made to that inbox in another client? If I am better sticking to Courier to get this functionality, thats fine, but if I can configure the behaviour I desire and still retail the benefits of dovecot then thats even better! Kind Regards Nigel

[Dovecot] deleted messages not going away in Thunderbird?
by Dave McGuire 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi folks. This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a clue. I'm running Dovecot v1.2.9 and Thunderbird v3.1.7. If I delete messages using a different IMAP client (I also use an iPhone and occasionally SquirrelMail), I would expect those messages to disappear from Thunderbird the next time I start it or click on "Get Mail". In fact, they do...most of the time. Sometimes, however, they just stick around. If I do a "Repair Folder" on the inbox in Thunderbird, the messages go away. Is this a known issue? My gut tells me there's some Thunderbird option to make it follow inbox contents with more "attention" but I've not been able to find it. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

[Dovecot] version difference understanding
by upen 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hello, I am in process of setting up an IMAP server (with postfix SMTP), I installed RHEL 5.5 on my server and found that version of dovecot is 1.x.x while when I checked online RHEL 6 is version is 2.x.x. Can someone please tell me if these two versions are still in development or 1.x.x is very old and must be replaced by 2.x.x version? Also are there any special features in 2.x.x or 1.x.x that makes it better than other? I see similar things for postfix package but I understand this is not the place to ask postfix Qns, Appreciate your help! ~A

[Dovecot] All mails unread after short while
by francwalter＠gmx.net 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hello, I have on Ubuntu 8.04 Postfix 2.5.1 and Dovecot 1.0.10. The mails are saved in maildir format. In one account on my server all mails are unread all the time. If i set them as read in my client (IMAP with Mac Mail 4.4 or IMAP with Squirrelmail, it doesn’t matter) they seem to be checked as read for some minutes or less, but very soon they are unread again, so i guess, only my client thinks that they are read, but after the next check, the client reads again that they are unread. Now i don’t know where to look or change the “Has been read”-Flag in the maildir-directory. Is it in some file or where is it, the flag? It is only one account, the other accounts on the same domain and on other domains are working quite well. Maybe it is only after a Squirrelmail update last week, but I am not sure. Thank you, Kind Regards, frank walter
