[Dovecot] 1.0-test21
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Should work again with maildir. - Some bugfixes to indexes (possibly fixing the still persisting maildir sync errrors?) - Enabled cache file again. If client asks about something that can be cached for future, it's done. There's currently no smart logic about when not to do it or when to cache more than was asked for future use. Currently nothing is ever deleted from cache. Currently it's disabled if mmap_disable = yes. - Removed UIDPLUS extension after all. It needs more thinking with maildir, because for performance reasons new messages are given UIDs once at the end transaction rather than separately for each one. So, the UID would have to be 0 temporarily until transaction is committed. But the current API make the new messages visible without syncing, and then the sequences don't match anymore and we can't get the UIDs. So, this one needs thinking, mostly from API designing point of view.

[Dovecot] LDAP Bind
by Hervé Commowick - NewSports 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

hi all 2 Questions : - how not using the authentication bind feature of ldap server ? i rewrite checkpassword-ldap recently to use in bincimap server, and it take 3 lines to do this, so i don't understand how you don't use it. it is more powerful and more secure than retrieve pasword from the base and use crypto api to compare it. - is the dovecot server support the IMAPdir feature like bincimap or not ? thx for this great software, who replace my imap and pop3 server when it support that :) Vr.

[Dovecot] Delete message
by Marius Stan 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Hello, I'm seeing that our favourite pop3 server only deletes the messages upon logoff: dele 1 +OK Marked to be deleted. quit +OK Logging out, messages deleted. Connection closed by foreign host. This is causing me some trouble with a certain webmail app. Is there a way I can instruct Dovecot to immediatelly delete a message ? 10x, Marius

[Dovecot] proxy plugin
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

I've updated the proxy plugin at http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota.c. It doesn't exactly work, even against latest CVS Dovecot as it crashes in save/copy, but it shows how it's basically going to work. Pretty ugly to do objects with C, but works.. If you're interested about writing support for some specific quota backend (maildir++, sql, ..), now would be a good time to begin :) Well, the reason it crashes is because it needs to find out the message's size, but Dovecot doesn't yet really like being asked about messages that haven't been committed to index. I guess that needs to change, hopefully won't require too large changes. I think I'm going to merge mail-index-view and mail-index-transaction into same thing..

[Dovecot] The Status: header is forced
by Olivier Tharan 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi, I started testing dovecot for our next POP/IMAP server (nearing production state), and noticed that the Status: header is always added, with a value of 'O' or 'RO'. This happens in `lib-index/mbox/mbox-rewrite.c'. This does not seem to happen in the Maildir case. Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'. My dovecot is 0.99.10.4 (FreeBSD port), but the behavior is still the same in the CVS version. -- olive

[Dovecot] 0.99.10.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

One more bugfix since rc2: - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely Quite rare because we were lucky before :) And list of all the changes one more time: v0.99.10.5 2003-12-27 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer + --with-moduledir configure option - mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags - mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug. - Custom flags couldn't be unset - Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails from new/ to cur/. - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely - Maildir: RENAME xx inbox.xx didn't result as uppercased ".INBOX.xx" directory which then couldn't be accessed - Don't crash with RAND_bytes() error messages anymore. This mostly happened with Fedora/RedHat.
