Notification about branch and versioning changes
by Aki Tuomi 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Dear subscribers, This year we will be releasing a new Dovecot major release. In preparations for this, we are doing some repository changes, which will affect you if you are using our git repositories. These changes will become effective after 14th of February. Following branch name changes are going to be implemented: - main => this is going to be the main branch in future - master => release-2.3 Note that Dovecot version number on main branch is going to change. The next major CE release will be 2.4.x. The change to a main branch and its version numbering also apply to Pigeonhole. We will also align Pigeonhole release version to match Dovecot, ie. the next major is 2.4.x and not 0.6. We will send more information about the upcoming major release as it progresses. Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

How to use virtual "All" and "Flagged" mailbox?
by A B 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hello, I'm trying to use the virtual "All" and "Flagged" mailboxes as described in 15-mailboxes.conf. The information here ( https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/virtual_plugin/) doesn't really touch on how to actually interact with the virtual mailboxes. My presumption is that when I mark an email message in the Inbox as FLAGGED (and I can confirm the \Flagged flag has been set) then I should then be able to either (1) see a copy of that message in the virtual.Flagged folder, or (2) when I use an imap command to get the message nums or whatever from the virtual.Flagged folder/mailbox, it should return the message that is flagged in the inbox as a result. Additionally, I'm presuming that for each new user that automatically gets added, I would have to create my own script that would add the dovecot-virtual file, dovecot doesn't do that on its own. When I view the user's directory I see these folders were created: --- [snippet] drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 135 Jan 25 17:01 .virtual.All/ drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 158 Jan 25 17:14 .virtual.Flagged/ [.virtual.Flagged]# ll total 20 drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 158 Jan 25 17:14 ./ drwxrwx---. 20 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 25 17:33 ../ drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 cur/ -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 868 Jan 25 16:58 dovecot.index.cache -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 384 Jan 25 17:01 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 51 Jan 25 17:01 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r--. 1 vmail vmail 8 Jan 25 17:14 dovecot-virtual -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 0 Jan 25 16:58 maildirfolder drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 new/ drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 tmp [.virtual.Flagged]# cat dovecot-virtual * flagged --- Side note: This set-up uses the php-imap library to interact with Dovecot. Any help, or just concept of how the virtual/All virtual/Flagged directories work would be really appreciated.

Quota: read how much diskspace is available?
by Hans van Zijst 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi, I've been trying to get domain quotas to work for a while, but to no avail so far. Is there a way to let Dovecot simply check how much space is still available in a directory? I'm using GlusterFS as my mailstore, so I can configure quotas per directory. All I need is a way to let Dovecot check quota in a way like "df /var/vmail/<domain>". Kind regards, Hans
