Hi, I upgraded my dovecot install from 2.0.19 to 2.2.19. I haved update the configuration, accordingly, but I when I open roundcube, I see multiple folders like sent, trash, facebook, etc... I not sure if am missing something or not. Here is my configure: [root@mgmt ~]# cat dovecot_config.txt # 2.2.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.4.4 armv5tel Gentoo Base System release 2.1 ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login

doveadm expunge no longer works
by Fabian Groffen 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Heya, Just upgraded from 2.2.19 to dovecot-2.2.21 and noticed expunging mail no longer works. # doveadm expunge -u theuser MAILBOX spam all Fatal: expunge: To avoid accidents, each branch in search query must contain something else besides MAILBOX (e.g. just add "all" if you want everything) Clearly, I've already got all in there, so I tried capitalising, etc. Looking at the code, I see expunge_search_args_is_msgset_or_ok apparently is failing. I'm wondering if this function [1] is actually doing what it is supposed to do, since it uses return, instead a var to figure out whether it is ok or not. In my case, just because it finds MAILBOX it returns without looking whether there is any further arguments. Or am I missing the point here (and how should I expunge a folder of mail?) Thanks, Fabian [1] https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/6971937a6f3e93844dbd43bdbe903628e21a94… -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level

sieve-filter to script fails with SHUT_WR
by Mark Stover 31 Dec '15

Trying to make vnd.dovecot.filter to exchange an email with my script. (I have a vnd.dovecot.pipe script working, so I'm pretty sure it's not the configuration...) I'm passing the email using stdin/stdout and _not_ using sockets. My script receives the email and processes it, but the filter process fails: lda(<username>): Error: shutdown(/usr/local/lib/dovecot-sieve/sieve-filter/CleanAttachments.py, SHUT_WR) failed: Socket is not connected lda(<username>): Error: sieve: 20-filter-incoming: line 15: filter action: failed to execute to program `CleanAttachments.py' Not sure, what I'm doing wrong...

Query regarding migration from Maillenium to Dovecot mail server
by Sirisha R 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hi, We have few queries regarding dovecot mail server. Our application used to supported maillenium mail server, but soon this server is going to retire. So we are planning to migrate our application mail server to dovecot for which we seek your help. Previously, the mailboxes that our application used to support were under att domain, then the mailboxes were migrated to maillenium mail server, and aliases of the existing att mailboxes were created by maillenium support group, so that any mail sent to the att mailbox automatically gets redirected to maillenium alias mailbox. For instance, for the mailbox abc.att.com, an alias was created as abc(a)maillenium.att.com<mailto:abc@maillenium.att.com>. Maillenium support group provided us mailServerHost, mailServerUsername and mailServerPassword. We seek your help in migrating from Maillenium mail system to Dovecot. Thanks & Regards, R Sirisha This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at http://www.amdocs.com/email_disclaimer.asp

Debug Dovecot Plugin (shared library)
by David Becher 24 Dec '15

24 Dec '15

Hey! I was just wondering what would be the best way to debug a plugin I am currently writing for dovecot. The plugin basically registers a new IMAP capability and I want to set a breakpoint to the "cmd_handle_new_capability" function (thats just a function name for better explaining purposes). Right now I have opened a connection via openssl ('openssl s_client -connect example:143 -starttls imap') to be able to mess around with the my server. Then I am able to login into the server via 'a login "username" "password"' and feed the server with my self created IMAP capability command. I know that I can start gdb and attach to an already running process via its PID. But how do I know which process I have to attach to? Looking at the output of 'top' it seems to be an instance of the 'imap' command PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 13413 vmail 20 0 21004 1844 1524 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 Iman But its only started the exact moment I issue my IMAP command towards the server, so of course I am not fast enough to track down the PID before the function has returned, so the process handling the command seems to be up only for the short period of time to handle the command, there is no process before which I can attach to. My current workaround is that I put a tail onto /var/log/mail.log and from within my shared library function (cmd_handle_new_capability) I log the PID of the current process, then sleep(10) for 10 seconds, which gives me enough time to have a look at mail.log to get to know the PID which I then can attach to. But isn't there a better way to do this? Maybe attach to the process which originally creates the new process handling the IMAP command and then stepping into it? I hope someone can help me out :) All the best, David
