[Dovecot] imap MUA received
by Payton 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Does anyone know where MUAs like Outlook, Entourage, and Mail.app get their 'Received' or 'Date Received' information from? It certainly doesn't appear to correspond with the mail headers, at least in my case, so I'm guessing it's possibly getting that data from the IMAP server? My mail clients (MUAs) show the 'Receieved' time as 5 hours off. I have qmail running as my MTA, and since it stamps emails' "Received" header with time in GMT (-0000) and I'm in EST (-0500) I thought that was the problem. However, I patched qmail to set the headers in -0500 instead, which worked as far as I can tell, but the MUAs *still* report the time incorrectly! (Time on both the client and the server are correct as well.) Here is my setup: dovecot running pop/imap mbox files (yes, i know this is bad) qmail as my MTA (used to list time as GMT in headers, but I patched it and now the headers list time in the local zone instead) -- ;; Payton Swick ;; ;; Repligen Corporation ;; ;; IT Systems Administrator ;; ;; payton(a)repligen.com ;;

[Dovecot] RFE: more graceful handling of startup errors
by Matthias Andree 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hi, I've just had a funny (but not amusing) incident after boot-up on a Dovecot server. rpc.mountd (NFS server) grabbed port 995 (POP3-SSL), and the whole Dovecot lot (POP3-SSL, IMAP-SSL, IMAP) refused to start up, rather than just letting POP3-SSL fail with "address in use". May I request to kindly consider letting Dovecot services fail individually rather than all of them, at least optionally? TIA, -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95

[Dovecot] debian unstable : mutt polling imap mailboxes
by Kai Hendry 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Package: dovecot Version: 0.99.10.4-2 I am accessing my IMAP folder on my ~/Maildir using mutt via Dovecot and I have this problem whereby mutt incorrectly reports I have new mail in a "mailboxes" polled mailbox. This happens all the time when I press the key bound to change mailbox. I use courier IMAP at school, and I have not experienced this problem. A bug with dovecot or mutt?

[Dovecot] Dovecot failing silently on startup
by Julian Melville 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

I'm puzzled... I'm running the Debian package of Dovecot 0.99.10.4 on a Debian (testing) server, and it's basically doing nothing on startup for an extended period. After a while (maybe 10 minutes or more) it all suddenly starts working, all without logging anything untoward. All the dovecot processes appear to start OK, and 'Dovecot starting up' is logged to the syslog. If you telnet to an IMAP or POP3 port at this point, it will successfully connect but there's no response (i.e. no '* OK dovecot ready'). Nothing else on this server is failing in this way; e.g. Apache and PostgreSQL are running fine throughout this period. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Cheers, Julian.

[Dovecot] SSL 143/notls stuff
by Mark Williamson 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi Everyone, Just trying to work out how totally disable SSL/TLS support on port 143 while enabling SSL support on port 993 In the config file when I comment out the setting "ssl_disable = yes", I have Webmail client that will no longer be able to auth against port 143, Now I can get the Webmail client to sort of work via using the setting the port to "143/notls" but the main problem with that is that the WEbmail client does not support that setting correctly, giving the Webmail issues in other areas. Anyway is there a way of enabling SSL support on 993, and a way to let port 143 to auth with out the need of using a setting port "143/notls" Cheers Mark Williamson

[Dovecot] Set only INDEX path
by Kilian CAVALOTTI 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Hi folks, I'd like to know if I can set the INDEX path in the default_mail_env, without setting the format and location of mailboxes (something like default_mail_env = :INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%u) I want to let each user choose whether he prefers to store his mail in mbox or maildir format, so I don't want to /force/ the configuration in the default_mail_env variable, but let the autodetection feature of Dovecot do the job. The problem is that home folders are NFS mounted on the mail server. So I'd like to put the indexes somewhere locally on the mail server. I tried to set the default_mail_env with various combinations of ':' and INDEX, but with no success, I invariably get "Fatal: Failed to create storage with data..." error messages. Is there any solution to my problem ? ;) TIA, -- Kilian

[Dovecot] More than one auth method with dovevot 0.99.10.4 - how?
by Raymond Scholz 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME. vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too? /etc/dovecot.conf: [...] auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = vpopmail auth_passdb = vpopmail auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes auth = local auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd /etc/passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes #auth_methods = default local EOF I think, I'm supposed to put the auth_methods line somewhere. Without it, dovecot only tries authentication using the first auth process definition: | Feb 25 00:01:49 server1 dovecot-auth: vpopmail(rscholz): unknown user (rscholz@) after loggin in with ". login rscholz secret_password" at the IMAP server. Putting the auth_methods line behind the two auth processes (or somewhere in the middle) gives me: | Starting mail server: dovecotFatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 456: Unknown setting: methods Putting it above all auth processes gives me: | Starting mail server: dovecotFatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 362: Authentication process name not defined yet Hm, I'm lost here. System is Debian i386 stable (woody) with dovecot_0.99.10.4-2.deb backported from Debian unstable. Cheers, Ray -- Hfr fgebat rapelcgvba!

[Dovecot] Mailbox formats
by Kenneth Porter 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I'm currently using mbox and mbx with UW-IMAP, mbox for space efficiency and mbx for folders with lots of messages for time efficiency without a large space cost. I've avoided maildir because it has a relatively high space cost; mbox has no inter-message cost while maildir wastes on average half a sector plus an inode for each message. What other formats are there, and has anyone come up with a good format that gives both good time and space characteristics without sacrificing reliability? (I'm aware of the file format list in the UW-IMAP distro: <http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html>)

[Dovecot] help: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mask.
by Bodo Gelbe 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Am tryin to move from uw-imapd to dovecot, using dovecot ver 0.99.10.4. Reading with Mozilla Mail v 1.4. I made some test accounts and they seem to be working fine, but my older existing accounts give error messages whenever I connect or subscribe to mailboxes within them. The message that appears on the client is: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mask." it appears two or three times in an alert box (on windows) then everything seems to work. The masks (I've put a syslog call into the code) are: "~%", "~%~%" and "~*". The test accounts I created don't have this problem. Thanks in advance for any advice, -- Bodo Gelbe

[Dovecot] Dovecot and Mulberry
by Kenneth Porter 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

FYI. Does Dovecot implement BODYSTRUCTURE? An eval copy of Mulberry can be downloaded from <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/>. ------------ Forwarded Message ------------ Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 6:56 PM +0100 From: Lennart Petersson <lennart(a)informatik.gu.se> To: mulberry-discuss(a)cyrusoft.com Subject: Dovecot and Mulberry I've recently changed my imap-server from Courier to Dovecot <http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/> for testing purposes and have seen some strange behaviour from Mulberry. Most annoying is that suddenly some incoming mail are parsed wrong, i.e. even if the mail has has proper Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" and Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable, it is displayed as 7bit and us-ascii. All these =F6 and so on is irritating. The only way remedy the problem is to quit mulberry and start again and almost always the email is displayed properly. And if the mail that gets misinterpreted is a multi-part email mulberry only reports that it has one part. But if you view the mail in raw all the parts are there. I've yet to see a pattern in then mulberry starts this misinterpretations. Sometimes it is a email from pine or a mail from a mailinglist or from outlook or ... A collegue that also uses dovecot but mutt instead of mulberry doesn't have this problems. Should I blame Dovecot or Mulberry? Anyone one with experience with dovecot (or any other imap-server that supports Maildirs)?

Should I blame Dovecot or Mulberry? | | Anyone one with experience with dovecot (or any other imap-server that | supports Maildirs)? If you see problems with proper interpretation of MIME structure and MIME parameters etc, then it is almost certainly a server bug. Mulberry uses the IMAP server's BODYSTRUCTURE response to determine the MIME structure of a message on the server without having to download the entire message and parse it locally - that is one of the major benefits of IMAP. The details you see listed in the mailbox pane (addresses, subject, attachment types) and the parts listed in the message pane's Parts list are all derived from the server response. If the server gets it wrong, then you will see the incorrect data/structure in Mulberry too. To confirm that it really is a server bug, try copying the message to a local Mulberry mailbox and look at it from the local mailbox. It should appear correctly in that case, because Mulberry will do MIME parsing itself for local messages. To fully diagnose this, put the problem messages in their own IMAP mailbox, then turn protocol logging for IMAP on in Mulberry using <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/faq/logging.html> and open the mailbox to show the list of message. Then turn logging off and send me (or inspect yourself) the log files. NB Clients that do not take advantage of IMAP's benefits by using BODYSTRUCTURE (and other similar features) will not 'expose' the server bug as they never use that data from the server. PS Getting the BODYSTRUCTURE response wrong is the most common server bug that we see - particularly in relatively new servers. -- Cyrus Daboo ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------

[Dovecot] X-UID
by Paul Adams 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

What is the function of the X-UID header in mbox format? Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 seems to regard it as a simple numbering of the messages; i.e., that the first message in the mbox should have X-UID: 1. Dovecot seems to treat it simply as an ordered unique identifier. Thus, the first message in my actual mbox has X-UID: 3849658. (There are only a few dozen messages in the box.) Running Thunderbird 0.5 against a Dovecot IMAP server with mbox format, Thunderbird displays these UID numbers in the message list, which is fairly useless -- I want a numbered list of my messages starting at 1 (which Pine, for example, is happy to provide). I'm just wondering whether this is Dovecot's fault, Thunderbird's fault, or an ambiguity in the mbox standard. thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] [PATCH] POP3: Fix RFC1939 non-compliance in STAT, LIST and UIDL commands
by Nic Bellamy 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi all, attached is a patch against 0.99.10.4 that fixes the STAT, LIST and UIDL POP3 command output in the case that they're issued after one or more messages have been deleted. Examples of incorrect behavior (bad spots marked with '***') C: STAT S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST S: +OK 2 messages: S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 1 1076749908.12 S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . C: DELE 1 S: +OK Marked to be deleted. C: STAT *** S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST *** S: +OK 2 messages: *** S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK *** S: 1 1076749908.12 S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . What it should have been is: [snip] C: DELE 1 S: +OK Marked to be deleted. C: STAT S: +OK 1 403 C: LIST S: +OK 1 messages: S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . It's unlikely the above issue has been causing much in the way of problems, as it's very rare for mail clients to use any of the faulty commands after they've deleted messages (they tend to do it once at the beginning of the POP3 session and cache the results).

[Dovecot] RE: Question on folders

25 Feb '04

I have read and read the dovecot docs on maildir folders and think that this is what I want. However, the MUA programs that I use, SylpheedClaws, Evolution, Mozilla seem to react differently to how I setup the folders. Is there a good FAQ on this subject somewhere? I think that I want to setup a virtual domain and am looking for documents. Alex

[Dovecot] IMAP subfolders
by Manuel Moran Vaquero 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi: I am using dovecot since the first day on my server (so I have no other mailbox formats). I can't create any subfolders under any IMAP folders. Is this still an issue of dovecot? In mozilla, the operation is simply ignored. With outlook, you can't even click "Accept" if you select to create a subfolder, rather than a top level folder. I have Fedora Core 1, and didn't touch anything special in the configuration file (just one line which enabled pop3 and imap). I have seen the list archives but the existing thread about the issue seems to say that the problem is solved. (?) Thanks in advance for replies Manuel Moran

Do they have special > meaning to dovecot? Hmm.. They do. default_mail_env format is: "storage_format:data" and both mbox and maildir in "data" part treat it as "path:option:option2:..". So, Dovecot above thought "/home/hosted/example.com/users/test" was the storage format and "user" the data part for it. You could change default_mail_env = maildir:~/ but then Dovecot would think "user" as being unknown option.. I'm not sure what to do about this.. ':' was selected because it's PATH separator as well, so people rarely have directories containing ':' in it's name. Maybe it could be escaped as "\:"..

[Dovecot] ":" in filenames

dovecot seems to have an issue with :'s in pathnames: imap(test.user): Fatal: Failed to create storage with data: /home/ hosted/example.com/users/test:user This causes a bit of a problem with vmailmgr since it, by default, replaces .'s in maildir path with :'s. I'm curious as to why :'s in paths are an issue? Do they have special meaning to dovecot? --- Lars Hansson
