Missing IMAP METADATA Plugin
by Adam Miller 22 Aug '25

22 Aug '25

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 Dovecot: 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) When trying to enable the “imap_metadata” plugin, I get the following error: Plugin 'imap_metadata' not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules I have searched high and low via Google, StackOverflow and even ChatGPT (haha) but I cannot seem to find the package that provides the plugin. Does Dovecot have to be built from source for this plugin to be included? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

[Patch] Allow sieve redirects to specified domains only
by Kadlecsik József 10 Aug '25

10 Aug '25

Hello, The use case is simple: we have to forbid sieve redirects to outside, but should be able to redirect inside. The patch below adds a new sieve configuration option sieve_allowed_redirects to list the domains to which redirects are permitted and otherwise are not allowed. Please consider it. diff --git a/pigeonhole/doc/example-config/conf.d/90-sieve.conf b/pigeonhole/doc/example-config/conf.d/90-sieve.conf index 238bcf4..3b4ac65 100644 --- a/pigeonhole/doc/example-config/conf.d/90-sieve.conf +++ b/pigeonhole/doc/example-config/conf.d/90-sieve.conf @@ -126,6 +126,10 @@ plugin { # script execution.

Quota wrongfully reported as exceeded on shared mailbox
by adminkram＠tripelspark.de 07 May '25

07 May '25

Hi, I've been scratching my head without luck with the following problem: I've shared a mailbox from one user "COMPANY" to another user "JOE". Both users have quotas and both quotas are less than 50% used. When the user JOE tries to post a message into the shared folder, dovecot complains that the user would be over quota: bash# /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u JOE 1 append shared/COMPANY/Sent/JOE {10} a NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) (0.057 + 0.000 + 0.057 secs). However, nobody is over quota: bash# doveadm quota get -u COMPANY Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 4754996 10485760 45 User quota MESSAGE 33695 - 0 bash# doveadm quota get -u JOE Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 14 1048576 0 User quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 Some more infos: 1. Dovecot-2.3.21 (+Debian updates) 2.3.21 (47349e2482) (NOTE: dovecot.org/mailing-lists says: Use dovecot –version to get it. The command is dovecot --version, though!) 2. I've performed "doveadm quota recalc" on both users, no change. 3. I've checked sharing ACL permissions, if I give just "l" permission, the response will be "NO [NOPERM] Permission denied". It does not seem to be an ACL permission reported wrongly. 4. I've tried increasing the quota size beyond reason (100 Gbytes for JOE), no change. 5. I've restarted dovecot after each change. 6. When trying to move a message into the shared Sent/joe folder in Thunderbird, same problem happens, Thunderbird displays the over quota message. Thunderbird cannot display the quota info for the shared folder, though. 7. I tried to enable rawlog (rawlog_dir in protocol imap). It does nothing helpful. It logs the manual commands from my pre-auth sessions (imap -u JOE) but it will stubbornly not log any commands issued by Thunderbird. ?! Any idea how to further debug this or what could be wrong? Thank you, Wolfgang

Problem email client iPhone ios18.2
by andrzej.milewski＠gmail.com 17 Apr '25

17 Apr '25

Hello, I have a fairly new installation of the Dovecot server version 2.3.19.1 on Debian 12.8. In general, the server works correctly. It sends and receives emails without issues. The clients primarily use Thunderbird on desktops and Gmail on Android. However, some clients are using iPhones with various hardware versions. Those with iOS below version 18 work correctly without any issues. Those who have updated their phones to version 18 and now even 18.2 are experiencing problems with mailbox synchronization. On version 18.2, the issue appears as follows: When you open the app, you can read several messages. They load correctly, but, for instance, attachments do not. If I wait for some time, the attachment eventually loads. During this time, I observe the server logs, and it shows that a certain session on the Dovecot server has ended.

From the logs and router analysis, it appears that the download happens in another previously opened session. After this incident, I go to another message with an attachment, and the situation repeats. There are also situations where the email body does not load, and the app waits for the server until the session closes and the content is fetched in another session. It does not matter whether I connect to the server via the internet or through a local network. On an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.8.3, everything works smoothly. Attachments open without issues. On iOS 18.1.1, attachments do not load, and the session does not close on its own. It takes forever unless the app is closed. In the Gmail app, everything works correctly without any issues. This is clearly a problem with the mail client on iPhone. However, is there anything I can adjust in my server settings to mitigate this issue for users?

Stats-writer permission denied
by Ken Wright 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

I've got a new Dovecot error (well, new to me, at least)! I ran tail /var/log/mail.err and got the following: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied I checked the file, and it's owned by www-data and the www-data group, with read and write permissions for owner and group... just like I have specified in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. I can't understand why permission is denied when the file permissions appear to be correct. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Ubuntu 20.04 Dovecot 2.3.7.2 Ken

Bug: Logout counters reset after recreating hibernated process
by Eirik Rye 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hello, # dovecot --version 2.3.20 (80a5ac675d) When using hibernation (`imap_hibernate_timeout = 10s`), counters such as deleted/expunged messages, appear to be reset after the user process is recreated. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure IMAP hibernation 2. Login with IMAP client 3. Delete+expunge a message 4. IDLE, and wait 10s for process to be hibernated 5. Unhibernate process (`DONE`), and log out 6. Observe the logged line: 2023-09-05T17:36:26+0200 imap(<redacted>)<776933><jA2nYJ4EPdcqAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=9 out=88 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 The expected output is "deleted=1 expunged=1", not "deleted=0 expunged=0". If you follow the steps above, but skip the IDLE/hibernate step, the output is as expected. Interestingly, if the client is disconnected during hibernation (without recreating the process), the output from `imap-hibernate` is still as expected: 2023-09-05T17:45:15+0200 imap-hibernate(<redacted>)<770540><0qE0gJ4Emt8qAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Connection closed in=97 out=1020 deleted=1 expunged=1 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 This leads me to believe the counters are lost during process recreation, not during hibernation. This is an issue as customers will often come to us asking why messages have disappeared in their inbox, or asking for help to identify which client is expunging messages. Right now, this information is lost if hibernation is used and the client is hibernated after expunging. Best regards, Eirik Rye

Hard-coded upper limit for sieve_max_redirects ?
by Maciej Polewczynski 02 Jan '25

Hello, After upgrading Dovecot from version 2.3.4 to 2.3.19 i noticed errors for some users having sieve redirects. Before upgrade all worked fine. In sieve plugin i have two limits: sieve_max_actions = 500 sieve_max_redirects = 150 If user have up to 100 redirects all works fine but if there are 101 or more none of them works and there is error: dovecot: lmtp(test2.mbox) Error: sieve: msgid=<***l>: redirect action: failed to check for duplicate forward to <101th.email.address> It seams that there is another limit but cant find where. When checked "dovecot -n|grep 100" there was only "default_process_limit". Increasing this changed nothing. Still the same error. File ".dovecot.sieve.log" in user home dir don't have any additional information. There is only: redirect action: failed to check for duplicate forward: internal error occurred: refer to server log for more information. Do you have any ideas how to fix it? -- Best regards, Maciej Polewczyński Do or do not. There is no try.
