[Dovecot] [PATCH] Request for testing: BSD kqueue ioloop handler
by Andrey Panin 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hello, attached patch adds experimental ioloop handler which uses BSD kqueue API. It compiles and survives my small test program, but not thoroughly tested because I have no suitable BSD machine to torture. Brave owners of (Free|Net|Open)BSD please test and report results :) Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke(a)donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net

[Dovecot] Period at end of folder in Pine
by doug＠dovecot.con.com 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

When using folder-name completion, Pine sticks a period at the end of dovecot mediated IMAP folder names. This is invalid, of course, and I end up having to backspace the period to use the proper name. Anyone have a clue on a workaround? I'd imagine this is a FAQ type issue.... Thanks, Doug

[Dovecot] login with alias
by Gasha 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Hi all, i'm setting up mail server and here is the question: if, for example "firstname.lastname(a)domain.com" is e-mail address, then how can i setup login as "firstname.lastname" and "password" not only "firstname". Of course, users want all things simple. But i don't want to use login names longer than 8 chars. Any ideas? Or should i try to create users as "firstname.lastname" in /etc/passwd file ?? Gasha

[Dovecot] 1.0-test51
by Timo Sirainen 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ This release is built with autoconf 2.59 and libtool 1.9. We'll see how it works out :) The required changes were done by Matthias Andree. - The last fix for connection hanging made IDLE use 100% CPU - We don't use Maildir/.INBOX/ directory anymore, indexes are stored in Maildir-root - Don't crash with FETCH BODY[n.MIME] - Changed %p (protocol) -> %s (service) and %P (pid) -> %p. Hopefully people weren't using these much yet :) - Added simple caching for sql passdb requests. Should be implemented soon for sql userdb and ldap passdb/userdb. See auth_cache_size and auth_cache_ttl settings. By default it's disabled.

[Dovecot] direct access or local IMAP access?
by Alan Schmitt 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hello, Thanks to much help from Timo Sirainen, I now have a running dovecot on my Mac, that works great both with mutt and Mail.app. I'm going to have a lot of mail stored there (about 40000 messages for 1.4GB in 30 folders), and I was wondering if it was better (in terms of performance and stability) to directly access the mail using the maildir hierarchy, or access it using local IMAP. Thanks a lot, Alan Schmitt -- The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO

[Dovecot] default_mail_env problems
by Neil Marjoram 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

I am having problems setting the default mail environment.# I am using Fedora Core 2 with version dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2 My users all have an NFS mounted home directory, and all mail is delivered to ~Mail/.mailbox it is all mbox format. I would like to put the indexes on the local system in /var/indexes/{username}. So I set these parameters for default_mail_env : mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=~/Mail/.mailbox Which produced the error : imap(test): stat() failed with mbox file ~/Mail/.mailbox: No such file or directory I set the mail environment back to default, linked inbox to .mailbox in the ~/Mail directory and all worked fine. Is there a better way to do this ? I would like to put the indexes on the local system in /var/indexes/{username}, so I decided to set: default_mail_env = INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n and got this error: imap(test): Failed to create storage with data: INDEX=/var/indexes//test dovecot: child 9142 (imap) returned error 89 I also tried : default_mail_env = INDEX=/var/indexes/%u And got the same error. I guessed at permissions, so I tried changing the ownership to dovecot and then test and then root and then 777, but I still get this error. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Many thanks, Neil. -- Neil Marjoram. Systems Manager University College London Adastral Park Campus Martlesham Heath Ipswich Suffolk IP5 3RL

[Dovecot] imap idle on non-inbox?
by Collin Grady 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Can this be done with dovecot? I really like the imap idle feature, but it doesn't work for me because I sort my mail into folders with procmail, so it only notifies me when one drops into inbox and not a subfolder. Is there just an option for this I'm missing, or does support for this not exist yet? Also, I don't think its a client issue as I watched the traffic with tcpdump and it only announced anything for inbox, messages dropping into other folders caused no traffic. -- Collin Grady BOFH excuse #347: The rubber band broke
