Hi all, Long story short, I'd like to configure a folder containing: INBOX (some other folders) -> unseen emails from these folders + all other emails (also seen) from the same thread -> seen emails from these folders, but only the recent ones + all other emails from the same thread I tried: # inthread refs (or (or recent unseen) recent ) inthread refs unseen # inthread refs (or unseen ( recent seen) ) # inthread refs recent unseen # inthread refs unseen #inthread refs recent (or unseen ) # inthread refs (recent seen (or unseen )) # (inthread refs (or unseen) recent seen) #( inthread refs (or (or recent unseen) flagged) ) without success. Where could I find proper,understandable doc for this? Could anybody help me on configuring such rule(s) ? Thanks a lot in adavance, Pierre

Hello! I have problems recompiling the Debian squeeze auto build packages with "--with-lecene". Is the git (2.3) version of CLucene necessary? Debian includes 0.9.21b, which does not work. Lutz

[Dovecot] Default permissions on newly created maildir
by Alex 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi Guys, I am setting up SQL auth for mail. Auth works fine, I notice that if no maildir exists for the authenticated user, it is created automatically (depending on the homedir specified in the sql table entry). The problem is that it creates the dir with "700" permissions which is causing grief for my MTA when it comes time for it to try and drop mail there. If I chmod the dir to 770 things work fine. How do I change the default permissions that dovecot uses whenever it creates a new mail account?

[Dovecot] Deleted mailboxes with lazy_expunge
by Angel L. Mateo 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hello, I'm trying to configure lazy_expunge plugin (as a way to provide easy backup for mails). This is my configuration (as explained in dovecot wiki): # Default namespace namespace { prefix = separator = / inbox = yes } # namespaces for lazy_expunge plugin: namespace { prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted/expunged lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ I use just one namespace because I don't want to differentiate between deleting mails or deleting mailboxes, but I have the same problem using the 3 namespaces. With this configuration, when a user connects, if he doesn't have the expunged folder, dovecot logs: Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=.EXPUNGED/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged, index=, control=, inbox= Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1 and the expunged folder is created (without the cur, new neither tmp folders). When I delete a message in the INBOX folder (for example), dovecot logs: Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged/.INBOX Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged/.INBOX Sep 16 10:57:19 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1 and the message is stored in the expunge namespace (that is an imap INBOX folder is created in the namespace, with its cur, new and tmp, and the message is stored). But when I try to delete a whole imap folder (in the example I delete it from trash folder because I use thunderbird and it previously move the folder to trash), dovecot logs: Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 and my mail client reports the error "[CANNOT] Can't rename mailboxes accross specified storages" and the mail folder isn't created in the DELETED namespace.

Apt installs 1.2.15-7 2.x packages are available in Debian Wheezy and Sid. A backport to Squeeze (stable) will be made once the 1.x transition packages make it into Wheezy (~10 days from now). micah

[Dovecot] default_pass_scheme = PLAIN and blank password
by Gary V 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Ubuntu, but I think this applies to other versions as well. I store user info and passwords in MySQL. It appears 'default_pass_scheme = PLAIN' allows blank passwords. My question is: Is this a bug or is this by design? If it is by design, is there a setting that I'm not aware of that changes this behavior? Of course let me know if you need additional info on the setup I'm using. Thank you, Gary V

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/alpha/dovecot-2.1.alpha2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/alpha/dovecot-2.1.alpha2.tar.gz.sig This is actually looking rather stable. I'm still calling it "alpha" in case I think of doing some more API changes, but I think the next one will be called "beta1", hopefully soon followed by "rc1". - Statistics gathering improvements (more fields) and fixes. - Lots of imapc fixes and improvements - Fixes to handling shared namespaces - Several other fixes
