Re: [Dovecot] dovecot only answers to imap connections

Nope, just sticking with simple pop3 at this point ;-) The second issue I am having is that Thunderbird seems to 'freeze' from time to time on directories that have more than 1000 messages in them. I remember reading earlier that there were some performance tweaks for Thunderbird, but I lost the link :-( I cannot replicate the authentication problem, and will wait to see if it is a layer 8 protocol error (between the ears). Thanks for the help, you have been stupendous! -- Mitch On Wed, 24 Nov 2004 19:01:29 -0700, Saurabh Barve <sa(a)atmos.colostate.edu> wrote: > Are you using simple POP3 or secure POP3?

[Dovecot] Cannot see contents of ~/mail folder
by Saurabh Barve 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi, I just installed dovecot-0.99 on my Fedora Core 2 machine. When I start the secure IMAP daemon, I am able to see my Inbox, but not the other folders in the 'mail' folder in my home directory (sent-mail, saved-messages, etc.) These folders were created when I was using pine earlier on the machine. In my dovecot.conf file, I have set: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u I am using Mozilla Mail as my mail client, if that makes a difference. Dovecot seems to be creating a directory called .imap inside the 'mail' folder, where it is storing the inbox and a Trash folder. I have set "mail_full_filesystem_access = no" so that users don't access any of their other files except the mail folder. From what I understand, I don't have to set IMAP path in Mozilla Mail. I tried doing that too, just to try it out, but as expected, it didn't work. What do I need to set in order to see my other folders in the 'mail' directory?

[Dovecot] ssl_ca_file
by Jacob Elder 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I am very fond of Dovecot, but it would be nice to have a more useful SSL implementation. When do you think we'll see a non-beta version that supports ssl_ca_file? I am running 0.99.11-3 from Debian testing. -- Jacob Elder

[Dovecot] Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command..
by Ingo Lantschner (Lists) 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi all, I have just installed dovecot on my Fedora Core 2 box. I would like to use it only for reading archived email from within my Mozilla 1.7.3. I syminked my old opera-files (*.mbs whoch seems to be same as mbox) into ~/mail. Seems to work fine, mostly I can open the mailfiles - sometimes it hangs with the following error: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command.. And then: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command MYRIGHTS: Unknown command.. ALthough I searched in Google and in the Wiki on dovecot, I did not find any hint - am I the first with this problem? TIA Ingo. -- Ingo Lantschner T (+43-1) 59 55 766 M (+43-664) 143 84 18 -- Ingo Lantschner T (+43-1) 59 55 766 M (+43-664) 143 84 18

Re: [Dovecot] [OT] Apple Mail.app access to localhost imap when no network

"localhost" does resolve (I tried to ping it, and it worked), and 127.0.0.1 does not change anything. So I guess my initial guess was wrong, and Mail must be trying to see if the network is up before even trying to log in. Alan Schmitt

[Dovecot] .INBOX required?
by Todd Slater 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

Hi, Newbie to Dovecot and IMAP in general. The system in question is RH 9, Dovecot 0.99.11, Maildir, accessing mail with SquirrelMail, Thunderbird, Kmail, Mutt, Entourage and Mail.app. I've set up the maildir for users in ~/Maildir. Inside that I have other folders, .Sent, .Drafts, .Trash, .Junk, .MakeJunk, .MakeGood. ~/Maildir itself has the cur, new, and tmp folders, but I note that there is also an .INBOX folder. Mail to the account does end up in ~/Maildir/new and it's readable in the various MUA's (as Inbox). I'm just not certain why the .INBOX is there, and if I'm supposed to be creating the other folders as .INBOX.otherfolder. Thanks, Todd

[Dovecot] [PATCH] add initial response support for NTLM and RPA
by Andrey Panin 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hello, this patch adds initial response support for NTLM and RPA authentication mechanism. It can be useful if dovecot acts as authentication backend for SMTP server. RFC2554 permits initial response in AUTH command, so it's legal to send NTLM type 1 message or RPA token 1 in it. Please consider applying. Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke(a)donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net

[Dovecot] [Fwd: Re: [Evolution] evo confused when searching message bodies on large folders?]

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9? Maybe it's been fixed in a later release? Might it be a security issue? Thanks!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this? Nov 15 14:16:13 olympic dovecot: imap-login: Login: postmaster [192.168.0.32] Nov 15 14:17:05 olympic dovecot: IMAP(postmaster): file mail-index-transaction.c: line 247 (mail_index_expunge): assertion failed: (!t->view->external) Nov 15 14:17:05 olympic dovecot: child 20184 (imap) killed with signal 6 Nov 15 14:17:19 olympic dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Nov 15 14:17:19 olympic dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test52 starting up I'm running (as you might have guessed) test52 on Linux (i386) using maildirs. The client is Thunderbird. This only appears to be happening when viewing certain mail folders in the IMAP account. As a temporary fix, it seems to stop happening when I delete the ".imap*" files in the affected folder, but this is hardly an ideal solution.
