[Dovecot] Spelling error in #define ?
by Peter Mogensen 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi, I stumbled over this define in lazy-expunge-plugin.h: #ifndef LAZY_EXPUNGE_PLUGIN_H #define TLAZY_EXPUNGE_PLUGIN_H Isn't there a "T" too much? http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/file/036260ae0261/src/plugins/lazy-expung… /Peter

[Dovecot] Restricting IMAP
by Matt 09 May '11

09 May '11

I want to restrict IMAP use too 127.0.0.1 and to only certain usernames. Such as fred(a)my777domain.com would be allowed to use IMAP. How would I do that with Dovecot or can I? Basically I want webmail to work with IMAP regardless of username but I only want certain usernames allowed to use IMAP remotely.

[Dovecot] example-config mail_log plugin options
by Lutz Preßler 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hello, dovecot-2.0.12/doc/example-config/conf.d/10-logging.conf contains # mail_log plugin provides more event logging for mail processes. plugin { # Events to log. Also available: flag_change append #mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename # Group events within a transaction to one line. #mail_log_group_events = no # Available fields: uid, box, msgid, from, subject, size, vsize, flags # size and vsize are available only for expunge and copy events. #mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } "mail_log_group_events" seems to be gone (when and why?). And it's now "save" instead of "append", with "mailbox_create" also available.

Hello I got this error message yesterday evening for a user I've checked LDA error log it happened 6 times in 3 days for 5 differents users, not much but I wonder what's going on as actually the server is moderately loaded ( Easter holidays ) we have currently 250/300 IMAP processes , in "normal" production time we have approx 1000 IMAP processes running. Apr 14 19:24:37 imap(xxxxxxx): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox Drafts (Hugues at ESIEE) UID 17836 got too little data: 16384 vs 18012 Apr 14 19:24:37 imap(xxxxxxx): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/index/xxxxxxx/.imap/Drafts (Hugues at ESIEE)/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 17836 The machine is supposed to be HUDGE for our 4000 mailboxes HP Proliant DL380 G7 , 12 Gb RAM 24 cores !!! I've located index/cache files on another disk than users mailboxes mailboxes are living on a 2Tb RAID array ( 50% full ) index/cache are living on another single disk ( 10% full ) I run Dovecot 2.0.11 + dovecot2-pigeonhole compiled from FreeBSD 8.2 ports Dovecot or hardware problem ??? Thanks a lot for any ideas/infos

[Dovecot] NONEXISTENT handling
by Michael M Slusarz 09 May '11

09 May '11

As of 2.0.12, looks like NONEXISTENT response code isn't working properly again. Previously brought up issues relating to this here: http://markmail.org/message/jxbgdfv26pws66og With a nonexistent mailbox "FOO", I see this: 1 DELETE "FOO" 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO // Should be: 1 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO 2 RENAME "FOO" "BAR" 2 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO // Should be: 2 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO michael

One update however with #md implementation is that I just tried one more thing in my alpine configuration and [/] has vanished after that so probably I don't have to configure for password-less alpine on the email server. Here is the specific configuration from my /etc/pine.conf or .pinerc 1. maildir-location=../../Mail/${LOGNAME} #folder-collections=Mail {localhost/novalidate-cert/ssl/user=${LOGNAME}}[] <---- Commented. 2. folder-collections=Mail #md/../../Mail/${LOGNAME}/.[] With this configuration, all folders appear fine. Folders : INBOX sent-mail saved-messages ABC PINE_FOLDER Queue Sent Trash sent-mail-apr-2011 In addition, I am going to change sent messages and saved messages setting as below so that when users are migrated from ~/mail to /Mail/user/ (maildir) format then their newly sent emails and saved messages also continue to go into /Mail/user/.sent-mail and /Mail/user/.saved-messages folder respectively. default-fcc=sent-mail default-saved-msg-folder=saved-messages Thank you everyone for their inputs. Appreciate it. UG

Hello kind people, OK, today is a bad day for me. A user from a clients' site called early in the morning to inform me that she lost an entire folder on thunderbird with (naturally) important stuff in it.
