Mailbox configuration questions
by justina colmena ~biz 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

I am having subtle problems with IMAP mailbox configuration on certain clients such as KMail and Thunderbird, whereas the previous setup was working on K9Mail (mobile) and Trojitá (desktop). I was using Maildir folders, which were mostly working before, but for some reason I had to create explicitly named namespaces for the flatfile (mbox) Inbox and the Maildir "Home" folders. I also specified an INDEX directory for the inboxes, which I made world-writable and sticky, because of permission problems creating subdirectories in it. KMail always seems to put sent mail into a local "sent-mail" folder, rather than the IMAP Sent folder associated with the sending account. (KMail and Thunderbird have a more POP-oriented architecture for the desktop, whereas Trojitá is exclusively IMAP.) Is there an easier better way to organize some of this stuff? Or how is it "usually" done?

About TLS variables
by Henry 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hello, I found the Variable %c only has TLS, Can it be using "TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3" instead of only TLS like as dovecot logging, this is really a most meaningful , thanks Variable %cLong name securedDescription “TLS” with established SSL/TLS connections, “TLS handshaking”, or “TLS [handshaking]: error text” if disconnecting due to TLS error. “secured” with localhost connections. Otherwise empty.

Re: Bug in renaming folder hierarchies - any reaction ?
by Klaus Steinberger 04 Mar '21

Hi, no comments on this? This is definitly with two different IMAP Clients reproducible. This led already to some message loss in user Mailboxes. > we discovered a major problem with renaming folders with subfolders > > testszenario: > > folders: > > test1 > test1/test1-1 > test1/test1-2 > > all 3 folders contain a test message > > after renaming the top level folder test1 to test2 following folders exist: > > test2 > test2/test1-1 > test2/test1-2 > > the subfolders test1-1 and test1-2 are empty, the top level folder contains the > correct message. > > > Now renmaing test2 back to test1: > > Alle folders again contain their messages. > > So this looks like during renaming the top level folder just the message > references for the subfolders got lost, and with renaming back they are there again. > > I can reproduce this behavior both with thunderbird and Horde Webmail as a > client, also it happens with a second different dovecot setup > Sincerly, Klaus Steinberger

Why Last-login?
by ＠lbutlr 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

I've noticed several threads over the last year or so about last-login, and I was curious WHY people care about tracking this in the database. I can see wanting to know if a user has logged in recently, but this seems quite easy to tell by simply looking at the time stamp and/or contents of the mail spool for the user. For example, on my system I can look at the timestamps on the 'new' folders in the user's maildir to see if they are getting mail, and if the folders are empty, I have a time stamp of when they last checked that mailbox, giving me a pretty accurate time for when they last logged in. For example, looking at one user: # ls -lsdtr /path/to/user/maildir/{new,.**/new} I can see that the most recent "new" mailboxes were accessed on 02 Mar 14:25 and 03 Mar 01:45, and I can see that the latter mailbox has files in it and the former mailbox does not (just by the size, without doing an extra ls of those directories), so I know that the last time the user logged in was about 14:25 or later yesterday and that they definitely have not logged in in the last 3h05, which seems close enough to me. Am I missing some reason I would need/want to keep track of that specific login time separately? -- 'But you ain't part of it, are you?' said Granny conversationally. 'You try, but you always find yourself watchin' yourself watchin' people, eh? Never quite believin' anything? Thinkin' the wrong thoughts?'
