[Dovecot] uw-imap and gnu-pop3d to dovecot transition/replacement
by Jani Karlsson 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi I am trying directly to replace old uw-imap + GNU pop3d with Dovecot. Problems I am having with new (1.0-stable 22.02.2005) are: - How to get SSL working with new config? imaps_listen doesn't exist anymore. cannot add protocol imaps for some reason. - need to get Dovecot run on another port the test-phase, ie 144 for imap, 994 for IMAPs - need to use .mailboxlist (modified the source already, this maybe works - due SSL problem not tested?) - no symlinks etc can't be done (simply too many mailboxes) so how to make dovecot read IMAP-directories from user's homedir.. Anything else I should know before trying this transition? All help truely appreciated. Jani. (Mailbox count is high which why transition to faster postclient-server software is necessary - or adding few more dual CPU-servers.. and doing anything but editing config/such by hand is not a option.)

[Dovecot] apple mail, and mails marked as deleted
by Joerg Lentsch 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

hi, is this a feature or a bug in conjunction with apple mail. i usually use the feature in imap to not delete the emails, but only mark them as deleted, which is a very usefull feature if you use a emailbox with more people accessing it. Im now trying an SME server installation with dovecot 0.99.10, and when i delete a message, it gets marked as deletet, but as soon as i change the mailbox the mail gets also expunged from it. is this a bug fixed in the newer dovecot releases ? or is this a feature that i can configure ?

[Dovecot] Bug?: Authentication still doesn't work with imap-login
by Peter Franck 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

I tried digging it all through. I can't find a solution. The problem pops up in auth-master-connection.c in function master_input_request. It does a auth_client_connection_lookup with the "client_pid" (which behaves as a counter, where i would expect a constant process-id...) Something is very wrong with this PID. Maybe someone can explain the Master <--> Auth IPC to me so I can understand and fix it myself? Where does Master take this client number from?

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL-Certificate
by Adam Pordzik 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Hello, I've a not really dovecot specific problem with my certificate. Since the OpenSSL documentation isn't what I expect to be at least good, I hope someone here can give me a hint how/where fo fix it; I've created a root-Certificate with almost untouched openssl.cnf and issued a server-certificate for dovecot. This cert and it's key I placed in somewhat like /var/dovecot. To state explicitly, away from it's superior root-cert. So, a: openssl s_client -connect server.tektoform.lan:993 -showcerts ends up in: unable to get local issuer certificate. Althougt connections from clients are working, I prefer to set it up cleanly. Does openssl-clientlib looks up for openssl.cnf, where the place of root-CA-cert is denoted, or do I have to put all cert together in a single directory, or, or, or ...? Or to be more verbose for "openssl s_client": CONNECTED(00000003) depth=0 /C=DE/ST=Hamburg/L=Hamburg/O=d-dt/OU=lan/CN=server.tektoform.lan/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)tektoform.lan verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:1 depth=0 /C=DE/ST=Hamburg/L=Hamburg/O=d-dt/OU=lan/CN=server.tektoform.lan/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)tektoform.lan verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted verify return:1 depth=0 /C=DE/ST=Hamburg/L=Hamburg/O=d-dt/OU=lan/CN=server.tektoform.lan/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)tektoform.lan verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate verify return:1 --- Thanks for your comments.

I also tried the 0.99 and hacking login-process.c, with no success. It seems to expect a slash delimited string like 'name/protocol' and it just gets "imap" there, but I didn't figure out where this string comes from or what it ought to be.

[Dovecot] Re: Need 2 additional folders like INBOX for JUNK and INFECTED mails
by Mirko Schulze 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Hi there. I've solved now the problem, but it's not really fine yet. The "special-folders" are undeletable in the filesystem, but the Mailclient displays different errormessages for the same action. I've modified following source files. The new additional lines are similar to the INBOX "lines" /src/imap/cmd-list.c: 63 /src/imap/cmd-delete.c :20 /src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage: 294,308,437,601 Notice that the linenumbers are not really correct, because of the deferrals by inserting new sourcecode. The new problem is, that the mailclient displays incorrect error messages. When i use another folder caching method i'll get no errors. Perhaps someone has a better solution, than i? Thanks Mirko

I have IMAP and POP running and when I log in thru pop from my blackberry which is the only way it pulls all the new emails. When I log into my computer and check email via PINE i guess something is refreshed because very soon there after if not immediately all the emails in the INBOX are sent/pulled from my blackberry again.

[Dovecot] Speed up large maildirs
by Leen Besselink 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, I'm very fond of maildirs, they are simple, I like that. But I've never really understood the significance of maildir/new/. The only use I can see is that (for example in the case of dovecot), you'd move a message from new to cur and then update the index-file, that's it. So to make put it more direct, you'd know when and with what to update the index-file, based on where the file resides. I've never been bothered by them, until I found that that is the last hurdle for fast access to a large (and receiving a lot of mail) Maildir. I've been thinking long and hard about what to do to make them work even better. My idea at this point is the following, use maildir/new as little as possible, just use it for what it was intented and spread the time of updates. If someone would make a wrapper-program around the delivery-program (like qmail-local, vpopmaildeliver, procmail or local and virtual from postfix) and the delivery program would print to standard output the path+filename it saved a (or more) message(s) to, the wrapper would be able to send an update-message to a dovecot-daemon. That mean, updates are small, and opening a large maildir would be sped up. How does that sound ? I hope this is a helpfull suggestion. _____________________________________ New things are always on the horizon.

[Dovecot] Why am I getting more imap folders?
by poohba＠blkpoohba.dyndns.org 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

At one point I was just using what was under ~/mail now I have: ~/mail ~/mail/fedora ~/mail/trash ~/mail/mplayer ~/mail/yahoo ~/mail/Scott ~/mail/.imap/fedora ~/mail/.imap/fedora/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/fedora/.imap.index.tree ~/mail/.imap/trash ~/mail/.imap/trash/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/mplayer ~/mail/.imap/mplayer/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/yahoo ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index.data ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index.tree ~/mail/.imap/Scott ~/mail/.imap/Scott/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/INBOX ~/mail/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/old_subscriptions/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/old_subscriptions/.imap.index.data ~/mail/.imap/ffmpeg ~/mail/.imap/ffmpeg/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/apache ~/mail/.imap/apache/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/dovecot ~/mail/.imap/dovecot/.imap.index ~/mail/ffmpeg ~/mail/apache ~/mail/dovecot These are not all the files but just the most recently touched files. Can I not just have imap view and use the ~/mail files? Is this normal? Can I have it set up to use the maildir files that are already there? It used to work that way but I guess that is with the other imap server that came with fc1.

[Dovecot] changing user mail folders
by Jason M. Wilde 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

I have a working dovecot server with user mail in Maildir:~/Maildir What is the proper way to change the location of user mail to /var/mail/username to take advantage of a large /var drive space? Would you recommend adding the creation of new user directories in /var/mail to my Redhat "adduser" script to get the permissions correct? Or via some other method? Also, any idea how to make Postfix deliver mail to the the new user directories? Thank you for any help and for a great product. Jason

[Dovecot] Need 2 additional folders like INBOX for JUNK and INFECTED mails
by Mirko Schulze 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi there, i need for JUNK & INFECTED mail two folders like INBOX. The folders must be fixed in naming, permissions and so on. I've adjusted some commands in the ./src/imap folder. But it's work not really fine: Creating a folder works, but deleting too. *smile* Moving a "special-name-folder" (f.e. from Trash) to its correct place, Dovecot says, that the folder is currently there. subsribing / unsubscribing doesn't work, too. ... ... ... I think that this is a "standard" problem for much people, who don't want, that the users will delete files through the imap protocol. Are there any solutions? Thanx Mirko

[Dovecot] 0.99.14 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

One more change since -rc3 (the last one in list). v0.99.14 2005-02-11 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> - Message address fields are now parsed differently, fixing some issues with spaces. Affects only clients which use FETCH ENVELOPE command. - Message MIME parser was somewhat broken with missing MIME boundaries - mbox: Don't allow X-UID headers in mails to override the UIDs we would otherwise set. Too large values can break some clients and cause other trouble. - passwd-file userdb wasn't working - PAM crashed with 64bit systems - non-SSL inetd startup wasn't working - If UID FETCH notices and skips an expunged message, don't return a NO reply. It's not needed and only makes clients give error messages.

Re: [Dovecot] Help, problems with permissions

Hi Thank you for the reply. The documentation on the wiki/dovecot site clearly provides an example exim transport statements showing mail writes as dovecot/dovecot with permisions of 600. The mail system uses virtual users, and I have provided mail/group ids of 1001/1001. The current directory tree is /home - owned by root /home/dovecot - owned by root /home/dovecot/users - owned by root, 777 /home/dovecot/users/DOMAIN - owned by 1001:1001, 777 /home/dovecot/users/DOMAIN/USER - owned by 1001:1001, 777 /home/dovecot/users/DOMAIN/USER/cur - owned by dovecot:dovecot, 600 /home/dovecot/users/DOMAIN/USER/new - owned by dovecot:dovecot, 600 /home/dovecot/users/DOMAIN/USER/tmp - owned by dovecot:dovecot, 600 Can you confirm that all files should be owned by 1001/1001? What permissions should should exist on these directories/files?

I'm trying the Dovecot as IMAP server, so I have one problem: I can log in to server, but nothing appears in mailclient and following message appears in log: imap(user): Feb 08 20:36:34 Fatal: We couldn't drop root group privileges dovecot: Feb 08 20:36:34 Error: child 21356 (imap) returned error 89 What could be wrong? Thanks for your answer. WBR, Paul.
