Some more interesting takes on the process. Right now I'm fighting Postfix and TLS. Mostly missing (never generated) files. Turned off TLS and now I'm getting a dovecot-deliver.log file error from Postfix. Oh well. I'll keep on plugging at it. Rod -- > > > > On 02/10/08 23:23:06, Roderick A.

[Dovecot] Step-by-set Postfix/Dovecot/LDA?
by Roderick A. Anderson 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Anyone know of a /complete/ step-by-step HOWTO for setting up a system using Postfix, Dovecot, and Deliver? I'm looking to put a new mail server together that will host three domains with pretty low volumes of email. Later adding three or four more for some non-profits that I host. I'm finding my self skipping all around the Postfix and Dovecot sites trying to come up with this setup. I have set up Postfix in several different configurations: inbound spool, outbound SMTP, regular mail server, etc. And with Dovecot I was lucky as it ran for me pretty much out of the box. Of course that was on a single domain mail server. (Not to mention it is a really old version.) Since it went up I've added a couple of domains to my personal collection and rather than add a new mail server for each I thought I'd go the virtual route. Anyone have a complete set of example .conf files they could share? main.cf, master.cf dovecot.conf Isn't it about time for a Dovecot book? TIA, Rod --

[Dovecot] Annotation plugin for dovecot
by Bernhard Herzog 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi, as part of an effort to make dovecot usable as the IMAP component in the Kolab Groupware system <http://kolab.org/>, we've started to develop a plugin that implements the IMAP METADATA extension. The plugin is still under development and development is focused on the plugin's use in Kolab, so it will at first only implement what's immediately needed to achieve that goal. The plugin is available as a mercurial repository at http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-metadata-plugin/ More information about the current status of the plugin is available in the README file in the sources. Regards, Bernhard

[Dovecot] Unable To Move IMAP Folder (Dovecot)
by Carlos Williams 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

I have a user who has a folder in his Maildir/ called "test" /home/user/Maildir/.test This folder shows up as a sub folder to his Inbox on his Thunderbird client and I tried using the "cp" command to move this over to my Maildir/ directory on the same server and when I launch Thunderbird, that folder is not visible for me. I made sure permissions are correct and even reloaded Dovecot. mail:/home/user/Maildir# cp -R .test/ /home/me/Maildir/ mail:/home/user/Maildir# chown -R me:users .test/ The permissions and ownership seem to be identical to all the folders I created as subfolders myself but for some reason, I can NOT see "test/". Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Why my Evolution cannot delete emails in dovecot IMAP folder?
by Igor Chudov 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

I use Ubuntu Hardy, get mails locally and run dovecot listening on localhost. I run Evolution and have it connect to dovecot, so that I can access my mail in IMAP and be able to use mutt from remote. So far so good. It works. However, my problem is that Evolution cannot delete any messages. That is, when I click DELETE in Evolution, Evolution no longer sees the message , but the message is still there. That's not what I want, when deleting messages I want them to go away from Inbox. How can I do it? thanks i
