[Dovecot] re-sorting emails in chrono order
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

dovecot 2.1.1 I access my IMAP folders through SquirrelMail as a result of 'part copying' (probably through web client ? not sure), that is copying/moving some emails, later, the rest, I have a sub folder where I have maybe 30 emails from 2012 appear at the very end like so 2013/2012/2010/.../2006/2005/2012 how can I re-sort ? thanks Voytek

[Dovecot] Doveadm with a 2nd Instance
by Chris Lasater 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hi Guys, I am trying to use 2 instances of Dovecot on the same server so I can have a Director managing my connections, everything appears to be working, but I can not use doveadm to control my 2nd instance, but doveconf seems to work fine. [user@server logs]$ doveconf -i Director | grep logs debug_log_path = /home/user/apps/logs/director/director_debug.log info_log_path = /home/user/apps/logs/director/director_info.log log_path = /home/user/apps/logs/director/director.log info_log_path = /home/user/apps/logs/director/director_lmtp.log [user@server logs]$ doveadm -i Director log find Debug: /home/user/apps/logs/dovecot_debug.log Info: /home/user/apps/logs/dovecot_info.log Warning: /home/user/apps/logs/dovecot.log Error: /home/user/apps/logs/dovecot.log Fatal: /home/user/apps/logs/dovecot.log I have stopped and started both my instances so the config running is what is in the config file, but when I use -i Director with doveadm it uses the other instances config. [user@server logs]$ doveadm instance list path name last used running /home/user/apps/dovecot/var/run/dovecot Dovecot 2013-09-26 00:39:14 yes /home/user/apps/dovecot/var/run/director Director 2013-09-26 00:32:31 yes Any ideas, or does anyone have any experience with the Dovecot instance feature?

[Dovecot] Solr issue with Zlib
by Ricardo Branco 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

I have found that if you the fts_solr plugin is listed after Zlib it will cause an indexing problem where any message that was compressed with Zlib is submitted to solr without being uncompressed. The order of the plugins is important. Not sure if this can be fixed but im trying to add a wiki note. -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

[Dovecot] ./configure not checking solr deps
by Ricardo Branco 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

It seems that when you run ./configure with --with-solr it does not check for deps libcurl and libexpat. When we compiled it silently went though and still compiled without a problem then missed installing solr. Maybe im missing something? -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

[Dovecot] Sieve and Namespace in dovecot 2.0.X
by Mauricio Tavares 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Based on what I read in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage, if I have a namespace defined as tail conf.d/10-mail.conf namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator =. type = private } A global script like cat /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-spam.sieve require ["fileinto", "regex"]; # Must use regex here as 'contains' may not be valid, it erroneously # moved: # X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.0 required=8.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, # DCC_CHECK_NEGATIVE,HTML_MESSAGE,T_TM2_M_HEADER_IN_MSG,UNTRUSTED_Relay, # XM_SPF_Neutral autolearn=disabled version=3.2.5, No # # Due to the 'YES' in BAYES, let's just make sure YES is at the # _beginning_ of X-Spam-Status, while ignoring anything past it. #if header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^[Yy][Ee][Ss].*" { if header :matches "X-Spam-Status" "Yes*" { fileinto "INBOX.Spam"; stop; } should put spam in bob/.Spam. But, I am getting an error message stating that INBOX.Spam does not exist: Oct 11 09:57:33 mail dovecot: lda(bob(a)domain.com): Error: sieve: msgid=<0.0.0.71C.1CEC689A21CFF08.7068B7(a)ip.aidolip.us>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX.Spam': Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.Spam How come?

[Dovecot] Optimisation opportunity for IMAP searches
by Rick van Rein (OpenFortress) 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hello, I love Dovecot, but when developing a small IMAP tool, I ran into searching behaviour can easily be optimised. Please forgive a rather detailed suggestion. This was on Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian Squeeze. My tool? It's called "midget" and retrieves documents from an IMAP box based on their mid: or cid: identifier, as per RFC 2392. I thought this would be useful to retrieve email attachments into a remote shell environment. When using Kerberos, the credentials and a strong hint of one's mail address are already present anyway, DNS SRV does the rest. If you want to see the early code, I'll be happy to share it here. The three formats of the URIs in RFC 2392 are: * mid:messageid * cid:contentid * mid:messageid/contentid Searching for a mid: with only a Message-ID part is quick and probably indexed, (HEADER Message-ID <messageid>) Searching for a cid: meant ploughing through body text to get to the attachments, so it was a slow and costly and needed checking of the outcome: (TEXT <contentid>) The quicker URI form to get to a Content-Id should be to mention it at the end of a mid: URI, and search for (HEADER Message-ID <messageid>)(TEXT <conentid>) Much to my surprise, this took about as long as the cid: query -- ploughing through lots of body text while it only needed to look through a one message bodies! As a human, I can see a straightforward improvement. However, it is more difficult to find a general solution -- but that is what I'm describing below, in the hope that it will help to improve Dovecot's search performance. 0. In general, searches are Boolean expressions composed with implied AND and explicit (NOT …) and (OR ….) constructs. 1. Using the theorems of The Morgan, push all (NOT …) constructs inside as far as possible, until they surround elementary statements. Some may have a trivial solution, such as (NOT (ALL)). Others will retain the NOT but that might be handled with a different use of the indexes. In general, this phase turns all AND and OR constructs into positive logic, without duplicating search terms. 2. Estimate the effort involved in every part of the calculation. (HEADER) is lighter than (TEXT) and headers may be further split into with / without index. Larger sets could be more work to search than smaller ones. In general, an estimate of the number of comparisons could be a good metric for work to be done. 3. For AND compositions, start with the simplest one in the AND compostition, and continue with increasingly heavier ones. Apply later conditions only on the output of the previous conditions, either after collecting all of it or everytime something is found. Whatever is optimal -- bulk operations are more efficient, but may collect large sets to handle. 4. For OR compositions, either start a thread for each part, or switch focus and collect sorted streams into one collectively sorted stream. I've been doing this stuff all through my PhD thesis work, so it come easy to me :-) But this optimisation does not appear to be implemented yet, so I thought I'd suggest it. I hope this is useful to Dovecot! Best wishes, Rick van Rein

[Dovecot] Questio about replication
by Patrick Westenberg 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hi everyone, this article (http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html) describes the situation for director/NFS-based clusters and SSH-based clusters. Right now I'm running the first setup with one proxy/director and two backends (all 2.2.x) mounting an NFS-share but I'd like to get rid of NFS (it's slow) and, if one backend is down, the proxy still sends the user to that backend. The article says: "High-availability non-NFS setup One possibility is to use Dovecot proxies, which know which servers are down. Instead of directing users to those servers, it would direct them to replica servers." My question is, if I can still use my proxy/direcot setup but every backend having it's local (or iSCSI-backed) ext4 storage and not using the SSH-based replication method? Regards Patrick

[Dovecot] SSL with startssl.com certificates
by Dan Langille 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

I'm using Dovecot 2.2.5. I'm setting up and new IMAPS server for personal use (i.e. only me). I have success with self-signed certificates but not with others (e.g. StartSSL.com) With StartSSL certs: I've been able to connect and test commands via: openssl s_client -connect imaps.unixathome.org:993 Can you configure your iPhone or Macbook to access the above? Authentication isn't the issue. Connection is the issue. I've been able to get Thunderbird to connect and access my mail. However, I've been unable to get my iPhone or my Mac configured to use the same IMAP server. On the iPhone, adding the new Mail account causes the Settings app to crash on a persistently consistent basis when adding the new account. The crash occurs when connecting to the IMAPS server. Configuration never completes. I suspect the problem is SSL because in both cases (iPhone and Mac), I see these messages I see in the logs: *** /var/log/debug.log *** Sep 13 11:50:32 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=31647) Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv2/v3 read client hello A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:45 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [166.137.84.11] *** /var/log/maillog *** Sep 13 11:50:46 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Warning: SSL failed: where=0x2002: SSLv3 read client certificate A [166.137.84.11] Sep 13 11:50:46 imaps dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=166.137.84.11, lip=199.233.228.197, TLS handshaking: Disconnected, session=<a7AJd0LmWwCmiVQL> /usr/local/etc/ssl/imaps.unixathome.org.crt contains only the cert issued by StartSSL /usr/local/etc/ssl/imaps.unixathome.org.nopassword.key contains a no-password key generated by myself.

[Dovecot] cached message size errors
by Charles Sprickman 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Hello, We recently moved from courier to dovecot, and I'm seeing a handful of errors that prevent people from retrieving email. Below is a snippet of the log sequence I see when this happens: Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx(a)bway.net): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (1759 < 1830) Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx(a)bway.net): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /home/vpopmail/domains/bway.net/1/xxx/Maildir/cur/1381381552.91972.xena.bway.net,S=1759:2,b to /home/vpopmail/domains/bway.net/1/xxx/Maildir/cur/1381381552.91972.xena.bway.net,S=1830:2,b Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx(a)bway.net): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/vpopmail/domains/bway.net/1/xxx/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 447401 Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx(a)bway.net): Error: read(/home/vpopmail/domains/bway.net/1/xxx/Maildir/cur/1381381552.91972.xen… failed: Invalid argument Oct 10 13:44:24 mbox dovecot: imap(xxx(a)bway.net): Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2013-10-10 13:44:24] in=784 out=3017 Basically it looks like dovecot detects a mismatch in the file size vs. the file size embedded in the maildir filename, tries to fix it and then has issues reading the fixed file. Removing the file in question allows the user to retrieve email. The "invalid argument" error seems especially strange, as I'm able to view the file by hand with no problems. Blowing away the indexes and letting them get recreated seems to not help at all. This was an old vpopmail setup with both maildrop and vdelivermail doing the final delivery both now and prior to the migration to dovecot. For a quick fix, is there a way to have dovecot ignore the error and present the rest of the mailbox? Longer term fix, I'm not even sure where to start I've used dovecot elsewhere for quite some time (with maildirs) and I've never had an issue like this. 'doveconf -n' below...

[Dovecot] Maildir and home location
by Florian Lindner 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hello! My current mail setup looks like that: MTA is postfix, MDA is maildrop. Each system user configures mail delivery using the .mailfilter of maildrop to arbitrary maildirs in his home. For each maildir a POP3/IMAP account can be configured, currently I use courier-imap/-pop and think about replacing it by dovecot. AFAIK with dovecot each account has a home and maildir assigned which should not be equal neither should a home dir be used for mulitple accounts. My problem is where to put these homedirs? System users have full SSH access on the machine. I would really prefer to put them somewhere where the users could delete them (if they need to reset or delete their account). Optimal would be in the maildir itself, but... What are your suggestions? Regards, Florian

[Dovecot] v2.2: Fix to slow process creation in some setups
by Timo Sirainen 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Especially some imap/pop3 login bursts could have caused errors like: imap-login: Error: net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Fix in http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/69179ca6007d Explanation & workaround in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable : Dovecot v2.2.0 - v2.2.6 were attempting to optimize host.domain lookups by doing them only once in the master process. Unfortunately they were actually doing the lookup every time when creating a new process. In some configuration this lookup could have done a somewhat slow DNS lookup, causing the process creation to become very slow and triggering this message. The fix is in v2.2.7 and you can also workaround this: • Add to dovecof.conf: import_environment = TZ DEBUG_OUTOFMEM DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN • Before "dovecot" binary is started, run: export DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN=mailserver.example.com (of course changing the value)

[Dovecot] smartsieve managesieve-login failure with dovecot 2.1.7
by Wouter Berkepeis 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I just subscribed to the mailing list because I am stuck trying to solve a problem getting smartsieve to work with a new version of dovecot. But let me first explain the situation shortly. I am running a mail server at home for personal use, and for fun. At this moment this is an old, slow machine running Debian Squeeze, Dovecot 1.2.15 and Exim 4.72. Authentication is done with LDAP, running OpenLDAP 2.4.23. For managing mail filtering I use Smartsieve 1.0.0-RC2 in conjunction with Dovecot's Managesieve plugin. It's all working properly. But because this machine is slow, I'm now busy upgrading building a new machine running Debian Wheezy, Dovecot 2.1.7 and Exim 4.80. I've got it all running and working now (that is: locally in my lan): imap with dovecot, smtp with exim, Dovecot's sieve plugin working properly, authentication done through LDAP backend. But what I can't get to work is Smartsieve. Looking at the logs on my server I can tell managesieve-login is not working well with Smartsieve. As far as I understand authentication is always done over a secure connection using TLS. Here is some logged output, Dovecot as well as Smartsieve. dovecot-info.log: 2013-10-06 21:16:20 managesieve-login: Info: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure: SSL alert number 40, session=<NkXdXhfodwB/AAAB> syslog: Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: getCryptLib: using rc4 Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: getCryptLib: using rc4 Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: FAILED LOGIN: jingo [192.168.2.12] {Private Lotus}: starttls: TLS initialization failed: socket timed out while reading server response: #002 Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: 2Z#027#015141003200542Z0??1#0130#011#006#003U#004#006#023#002NL1#0230#021#006#003U#004#010#014#012Overijssel1#0200#016#006#003U#004#007#014#007Hengelo1#0!#006#003U#004#012#014#032Private Lotus Organization1#0230#021#006#003U#004#013#014#012Jingo Mail1&0$#006#003U#004#003#014#035jingo.private-lotus.no-ip.net1&0$#006#011*?H?÷#015#001#011#001#026#027amigo(a)private-lotus.org0?#001"0#015#006#011*?H?÷#015#001#001#001#005 Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: #003#001 Oct 6 21:51:40 jingo smartsieve[12168]: èm¬NþgHÁßt#021×?Ð#011$?f+»#013?#021?ø#013yùZd#032Òí}Ì#012ù?#003xPË What is clear is that somehow no user information is being negotiated.

With the former version the string was 'dovecot', so I changed this in the 'Managesieve.php' file. This file was already patched as stated on the site.

[Dovecot] POP3 Setup help
by Thomas I Higgins 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

I am lost as to what I am missing. I am setting up dovecot 2.0.9 on a RHEL 6.4 machine as provided by my provider. I have IMAP up and running, and I have POP3 up and running. Testing confirms this. Also, if it makes a difference, I enabled dovecot as my LDA. Sendmail was setup as well due to our 1.x version using it and I though I had to. Anyway, everything is working perfectly with the services, except the mail is sending to the wrong location for POP. I am trying to use Maildir for both services, but it keeps delivering the POP3 mail to /var/spool/mail/u% instead of to Maildir as specified in the configuration files. I have rechecked every setting at least twice and still can't see what I am doing wrong. I suppose I can use mbox and redirect after making the appropriate namespace changes, but that has it's own potential drawbacks and seems more like a kludge than the correct way around this (unless I misunderstand how it should work). Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Thomas Higgins

Hi everybody. Hi I'm tryingto use CAS for authenticating in dovecot. I have installed pam_cas and when I try castest i get "<cas:authenticationSuccess>" for my service (imaps://mywebmail.com) But when I actually try to login, dovecot uses the PT from the cas server as password. Any ideas what I'm missing? Thanks a lot.

Looking at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy methinks you want to replace "starttls=y" with "ssl=yes". Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Proxy to gmail not working
by Alex Wanderley 07 Oct '13

Hi, I've been trying to build a password forwarding proxy to Gmail without success... The SSL connection to Dovecot is happening no problem (as far as I can tell), but for some reason the conversation between Dovecot and Gmail is getting timed out. I know this is supposed to be simple... :-( But could somebody please give me some help by pointing what I'm not doing right? No matter how much I've been researching about this, I can't find the solution.

[Dovecot] Replication: long detalys
by Lucas Rothamel - Eye Catching Webdesign 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hello everybody, I am running dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy on two servers with replication set up, MTA is postfix. The idea is to have a redundant mail system so that when one server fails, users can continue using the other server (failover of POP/IMAP through DNS redirection). Servers are called srv06 and srv07: Below is the dovecot config, both servers have identical config, only the replica srv0x address is different. I read to put this line into 10-mail.conf and I did: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication My Problem: When E-Mail arrives on one server, it is only available on the other server many hours later. Same behaviour in both directions. This means I see different mailboxes via IMAP depending on which server I connect to - in theory I want the client not to be able to tell which server it is connected to. dovecot -n: # 2.1.7:

[Dovecot] retr errors
by Bill Morgan 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

My ISP uses Dovecot and I have had an ongoing problem for a while using several email clients. Sometimes the response to a retr request is mal-formed. The expected response "+OK nnn octets" is not returned. The response looks like it started somewhere in the message headers. Sometimes a retry can clear the problem but I usually need to delete the first message via a putty session. The problem, when present, is always on the first message. Never seen it in the middle of a series of messages. This problem has been seen on different machines, different versions of Windows, at home and on the road. I have wireshark traces showing good and bad sessions.... ====================== stat +OK 93 1000437 retr 1 +OK 6946 octets Return-path: ..... ========================= retr 1 of blahblah(a)blah.com designates 2607:f8b0:4001:c03::235 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=blahblah(a)blah.com; dkim=pass header.i=(a)blah.com Reply-To: android-developers(a)googlegroups.com Precedence: list Mailing-list: ...... ================== My ISP has been non-helpful. Any ideas how I can track down the problem? Thanks Bill

[Dovecot] Yet another going from 1.2 to 2.X question: authentication
by Mauricio Tavares 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

So in 1.2.9 I had something like this: [...] socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver } } # Dovecot as SASL Auth socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } I see I can, per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL, setup the sasl entry as # Dovecot as SASL Auth service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } what about the lda? From http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA I take it would be as simple as service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver } } Am I correct?

I have stood up a new test mail server as an upgraded version of my existing mail server. I have been fairly consistently getting two types of error messages.

[Dovecot] State of the FTS modules and packaging
by Benjamin Podszun 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hi there. I'm running a small (VPS) mail system just for myself for quite a while and want to support some friends and family now. For that I'm improving / documenting the setup. One thing I never cared to implement was FTS support. Looking at the options [1] now, I'm stuck. I don't want solr (no Java bashing here, I'm sure that's working awesome. But I don't want to pull all these dependencies in on my tiny VPS: Memory and disk will be as small as I can get away with). With that out of the way: What are my options? Squat: Why's squat deprecated? Did it stop working? Can someone shed some light on the original reasons for the deprecation? What are the risks to go with squat anyway? Clucene: That seems .. unusable. It would be my prefered choice (not deprecated, little dependencies), but .. it isn't packaged in deb based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu). It doesn't even _build_, because it doesn't use pkg-config to find the clucene includes (at least for 2.1.17) in these environments. Centos is even more out of date with 2.0.9. Given the experience above, is solr my only option to offer FTS? Can you guys share how you're having a stable base/os with a somewhat recent (and complete!) dovecot package? Thanks a lot & regards, Ben 1: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS

[Dovecot] Dovecot namespace solved while writing; preparing to refilter
by miro.rovis＠croatiafidelis.hr 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Since I still have to send mail from web, I may not be able to get this message as a reply to my previous mail, but it belongs to this same thread: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-October/092810.html Some of the work I have now done. I can now easily, lest some hurdle shows up, use a script based on the one I mentioned (here it is again: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail ), but I used maildrop, having harkened to the advice by the author of Debian Reference, Osamu Aoki: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html#_the_remote… http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html#_mail_deliv… So while, after connecting with the password, I wait some 5 or 10 minutes (the machines I install/clone Debian onto are old machines) for all the mail from the other Dovecot on the other machine, same MBO and all, as I explained in the previous message, again; I am preparing this before going online, I haven't see if there are any replies in the last maybe 40 hours)... me@mybox2:~$ getmail getmail version 4.43.0 Copyright (C) 1998-2012 Charles Cazabon.

I really understand only now, that the basis is really e-mail, not the browsers, or other things, for the life on the internet... That the basis is really e-mail these days on Russia Today said also Ladar Levison, the Lavabit.com founder that fought for his users' privacy all the way to losing his business. I admire people of such integrity and humanity! Not like the Canadian Hushmail which sold NSA's whistleblower Thomas Drake... Who says I don't like people from NSA. I highly regard him, and Ross Tice, and some others! It's the usual perception most of people have, that email is less important/less advanced, whatnot, not just me, but not delving into it here. I'm yet to see if my "broader picture" provoked any angry reactions... (Note while proofreading: No reactions, neither good nor bad, I just saw.) But I hope this will be technical enough now and to the completion of this thread... I haven't found anywhere other then on the www.wonkity.com, the address that I gave above, examples for maildrop, so I hope other users will find mine useful, which will be source of content for me... I invested time and effort to arrange those lines. Just let me give you the .muttrc (and completely without the unrelated settings for this story), because the dominant talk is about the maildrop, not the other two configuration files. ----%<-------------------------------------------------------- $ cat ~/.muttrc set mbox_type="maildir" set spoolfile=imaps://me@mybox2/ set folder=imaps://me@mybox2/ set ssl_starttls=yes set ssl_force_tls=yes set imap_passive ----%<-------------------------------------------------------- What I got with that maildrop in my Dovecot, and it would need some functions set, because I used too much pastion to get same work repeated on different input, but I don't know hot to do it, and it is by no means urgent, since I achived all the refiltering and in the way I wanted it, is I decided I wanted all mail in folders by the e-mail address by which I recieve them, and used the usual List-Id header to sort mails into up to two levels deeper, exactly for the famous yukky Stasimail, oh, sorry! I meant zucky Facebookmail. Also it would be great to check for existance of a foled before attemting to create it... It hasn't been yet urgent to me, and I am rather exhausted now, not only from this coding, but also because I got the tumbleweed pollen allergy (American native plant, brought here as ornamental plant in Columbo's time, but nauseating/suffocating (but rarely to death), fever causing to lots of people in Europe, through allergy, so I was also bed-ridden much of the time... and I am not well neither as I am writing this, so not much of proofreading before sending this. And to check for existance I guess it's with ... ~= ( some expression) of folders, so not to get an error on every fail attempt at creating folders as Warren Block explained here: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/maildrop.html#_em_maildir_em_compa… , and maybe improve those lines by using some foreach loop or some such means... Ah, notice that I start with no folder whatsoever, neither mbox not maildir type, I let the script do it all in my /home/mr! The .mailfilter settings above for maildrop upon completion of refiltering gave me, in my mutt, not going back to no GUIs no more, thanx so kindly!, but no love lost there, with all your Java and Javascript and stinking popup windows out of nowhere and rummiging in my machine which I in no way provoked, let alone initiated, and most certainly not acquiesced to...

The fact that some are named in numbers and not in [a-z] is only because that is the first part of the address, before @facebookmail.com part. Not touching that, no need to spend time on those... If there is some user who would like to have any more explanaion on this, I can try and tell more, but I know most of the users here know more and can do better that I, so I leave the talk now. I'll take a few looks back to see if I got any replies, just I can't do it in very frequent periods at all. I also have a few issues probably for the Mutt people to solve, the issues I suspect are with Mutt, but they are not urgent either. And also, not major issue, I tried sticking :DIRNAME=mAildir to the end of my mail_location line, but it simply didn't work, I mean, as per: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir I will try and get the stunnel to get my outgoing mail on the 465 port with TLS, but that is not an issue related here at all I think. Thanks again to you fine developers for these great programs. Timo Sirainen, you are greatly appreciated here, and my respect for your fine country Finland, and for your nation!
