Running Dovecot 1.2.12 (we are in the process of upgrading to 2.1.x) Didn't find much in old threads, but we are seeing the following in the logs this morning: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<wajabrun>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=y.y.y.y dovecot: IMAP(wajabrun): Disconnected: IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. bytes=443/1146 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<wajabrun>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=y.y.y.y dovecot: IMAP(wajabrun): Disconnected: IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. bytes=561/1637 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<wajabrun>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=y.y.y.y dovecot: IMAP(wajabrun): file_dotlock_open() failed with file /mail/w/a/wajabrun/Maildir/.INBOX.02 ORDERS.Gaiam/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory dovecot: IMAP(wajabrun): file_dotlock_open() failed with file /mail/w/a/wajabrun/Maildir/.INBOX.02 ORDERS.Gaiam/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory Not sure what to make of this sequence?

[Dovecot] maildir and end-of-line encoding
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi. I just wondered, the following: My MDA may get mails that use LF or CR/LF end of line encodings and deliver them into maildirs. I couldn't find any information about, whether one should or must convert all into one format, cause AFAIK at least on the IMAP side, CR/LF is always used? How does this work on the maildir/backend side of dovcot? Can it work with both and simply automatically convert LF into CR/LF? Thanks, Chris.

Thank you. One thing that still doesn't work is subscribing to all mailboxes via "*", I guess because the folder names start with "." but dovecot mailbbox subscribe wants it without a starting "." Any clues how that can be solved? Regards Andre

[Dovecot] XMLRPC anyone?
by Egbert 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, Is there any code around that lets Dovecot (2.x) aauthenticate via a XMLRPC server (which connects to a LDAP server) instead of going directly to a LDAP server? It could give much more flexibility. TIA Egbert Jan, NL

[Dovecot] Autocreate No namespace for Problem
by tibby＠tibby.hu 21 Nov '12

Hi! I see this in the log: autocreate: No namespace found for Trash autocreate: No namespace found for Spam autocreate: No namespace found for Sent autocreate: No namespace found for Trash autocreate: No namespace found for Spam autocreate: No namespace found for Sent Why do I get this error ? Do I need to create a separate namespace for every folder? The config file looks like this: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes subscriptions = yes list = yes } ... plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Spam autocreate3 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Spam autosubscribe3 = Sent } Thanks!

[Dovecot] v2.1 memory usage
by Timo Sirainen 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

v2.1's imap/pop3 processes are linked with OpenSSL by default, because of imapc/pop3c storages. I wonder if you notice any actual (system-global) memory usage reduction when compiling without those and you have thousands of imap processes? ./configure --with-storages=mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir I guess I could try it myself also but maybe someone else wanting to reduce memory usage is quicker? :) Related to that, you can look at where imap processes' memory goes with: http://dovecot.org/tools/linux-maps-parse-imap.pl I don't know how much memory those (writable!) file-backed memory areas actually use per-process. Maybe nothing, maybe something..

[Dovecot] ACL and SSL
by Dave Shariff Yadallee - System Administrator a.k.a. The Root of the Problem 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html & http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
