[Dovecot] Deleted emails in Outlook Express
by Fred Mulharin 26 May '04

26 May '04

I am having problems with Outlook Express v.6 as an Imap client. Deleted emails are not making it to the Trash, or Deleted Items folders. I have been trying to find a setting in Outlook Express to control this. I am running Dovecot on a Red Hat 9.0 box. I do not have this problem with either Squirrelmail, or Mozilla. Any thoughts would be appreciated Fred -- Fred Mulharin Systems Technology Supervisor Times Herald-Record fmulharin(a)th-record.com ..We are the trusted leader in news and … [View More]

[Dovecot] append
by Marten Lehmann 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello, I was testing the append function with a wrong amount of characters. The message I appended was saved in the tmp-folder. But even after I received the "BAD ..." message and after I disconnected, the message remained in the tmp-folder. Would it ever be deleted?

[Dovecot] \Deleted and expunge
by Marten Lehmann 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello, I deleted a message by storing the \Deleted flag and called expunge. The message was deleted then, but in the file dovecot-uidlist the filename of that message is still listed, even after logging out and in again, doing select and check. When will this file be updated? Regards Marten

[Dovecot] renaming and select failes
by Marten Lehmann 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello, I created a folder inbox.Test.Try through IMAP. LIST shows me the folder INBOX.Test.Try instead, but in the filesystem it's created inbox.Test.Try. Now every select, examine or rename gives me NO Mailbox doesn't exist INBOX.Test.Try. Seems that inbox is mapped uppercase everywhere except at "create". Regards Marten

[Dovecot] dovecot.rawlog
by Marten Lehmann 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello, I build dovecot tih --with-rawlog and created a folder dovecot.rawlog inside the root-dir of the mailbox (same level as new, cur and tmp). For testing purposes I set the env MAIL to the maildir and started libexec/imap. This generally works, but I can't find the promised logs of input and output. Where do I have to look for them? Regards Marten

[Dovecot] feature request: undeletable folders
by Marten Lehmann 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hello, as we all know from the big webmail-services like hotmail.com, yahoo.com, web.de and so on, several folders exist and nobody can remove them for a good reason, because some services rely on them: Trash, Junk, Sent. Can can't remove Trash, because every deleted message is just moved here. You can't remove Junk, because all messages recognized as spam is moved here. And you can't remove Sent, because all messages you sent through the webmail are saved here. With the common courier-… [View More]

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Several bugfixes, do maildir syncing problems still persist? - New %var handling code for default_mail_env / authentication things. Added: # %p - protocol (IMAP or POP3) # # You can apply a modifiers for each variable (eg. %Lp = pop3): # %L - lowercase # %U - uppercase # %E - escape '"', "'" and '\' characters by inserting '\' before them. Is anything else useful?

[Dovecot] 1.0-test12
by Timo Sirainen 26 May '04

26 May '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ - "Maildir sync: UID < next_uid (446 < 447, file = .." errors should be fixed - fixes for detecting changes in uidvalidity and external uidnext changes - several fixes and cleanups in index file handling. less code than before and now changes to index header also go through transaction log. that should mean that soon I can get mmap_disable = yes to work without reading the main index file more than once. Are maildir syncing problems finally fixed now? … [View More]

[Dovecot] 1.0-test10

http://dovecot.org/test/ Transaction log file contains now only message UIDs rather than message sequences. I'm not really sure why I originally thought sequences were better.. 0.99 Dovecot used UIDs too. A lot of difficult logic (which was also broken) went away with this change. Fixed also "Maildir sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox" errors. I can't anymore get this release to easily complain about corrupted indexes. That doesn't mean that the new logic is correct though, so be careful.
