Hi, I use dovecot 2.0. I have problem with Outlook 2010. This application freezes for about 2 minutes when I move or delete messages. Other applications such as Outlook Express and Thunderbird work correctly. Has anyone had similar problem? Thanks

[Dovecot] deliver doesn't find adress/inbox
by Martin Benkenstein 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I'm trying to make dovecot 1.2.15, deliver, openLDAP, exim and fetchmail work together on an Debian Squeeze (virtual) maschine. The connection between dovecot and LDAP seems to be working, I can logon from Thunderbird (IMAP) and my maildir is created automatically. So far so good. But when I download the mails via fetchmail, it seems that deliver cannot find the correct mailbox for the X-Envelope-To entry in the header. fetchmail downloads all mails for the domain from one account (config below) and hands them over to exim. I configured exim addording to the wiki entry (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim Virtual Users / Single UID). The mail is sent back to the account which is fetched by fetchmail. There is a header entry X-Fetchmail-Warning: no recipient addresses matched declared local names. The fetchmail-log itself is worthless. What am I doing wrong? At which does the system try to look up the mailaddress and fails? Thank you in advance Martin Configuration details: # dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian 6.0.1 ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/dovecot/%n@%d/maildir/ mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: postfrau(a)pti857.dyndns.info hostname: pti857.dyndns.info log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver-errors.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=1002 gid=1002 home=/var/mail/dovecot/%n@%d/home socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: dovecotvmail /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf ### hosts = localhost dn = cn=admin,dc=tuced,dc=local dnpass = toor auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users, dc=tuced, dc=local /etc/fetchmailrc #### set daemon 300 # Pool every 5 minutes set postmaster root set no bouncemail defaults: timeout 300 antispam -1 batchlimit 100 set no syslog set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail.log" poll mail.domain.de proto pop3 localdomains some.domain.org: envelope "X-Envelope-To:" timeout 30 user postman(a)some.domain.org password secret is * /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_dovecot_lda ### dovecot_virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $local_part@$domain -f $sender_address -a $original_local_part@$original_domain message_prefix = message_suffix = delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add log_output user = dovecotvmail temp_errors = 64 : 69 : 70: 71 : 72 : 73 : 74 : 75 : 78

[Dovecot] How Dovecot 2 create folders and subfolders ( MBOX format ) with TB ?
by Frank Bonnet 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder. If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA. Very useful :-) I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?

[Dovecot] restore lost emails
by Daminto Lie 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I am running Postfix 2.7.0, Dovecot 1.2.9 and squirrelmail. Every week, I perform a back-up on both Postfix and Dovecot (maildir and conf folders). That's good because I have all the emails backed up. And now what I would like to ask is whether or not there are any easy way of restoring e-mails if some emails got deleted by accident or for other reason. So far, I have tried to look up the answer on the Internet but got a bit of vague answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[Dovecot] Doveadm index!
by Henrique Fernandes 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello folks, I recent update my dovecot 2.0.6 to the version 2.0.13 cause i wanted to use dovecot index to build fts squat for users! I noticed that there is no log for the fts build action, it does log all actions to the normal index.cache. Timo, could you add some logging please? And also, if possible an option to cache all mailbox of the users! Thanks a lot! Right now is already helping me a lot. []'sf.rique
