[Dovecot] RFC 4468
by Erik Logtenberg 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

You know, I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have RFC 4468 (Message Submission BURL Extension) support in dovecot? Maybe we should ask the guys from Apple to contribute some support for it, I have a gut feeling they would gladly do so ;) Kind regards -- Erik.

Hi all, Does anybody know whether iPhone is supposed to be able to do IMAP IDLE? I know it does "Push" but that seems to be using Apple's Mobile Me and Exchange. Cheers, Sabahattin

[Dovecot] Sieve scripts
by Nick Lunt 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi I have a simple sieve script to discard email with a certain string in the subject. I now need to beef this up a bit with the following: if header :contains "subject" "A" and "B" and not "C" discard if header :contains "subject" "A" and "D" and not "C" discard else pass Maybe my google skills are failing but I can't find much info on creating sieve scripts. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this please ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 and QUOTA capability
by Frode Nordahl 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, In Dovecot 2.0 the QUOTA capability is not announced until after the user has logged in. This breaks quota-support in some webmail clients (Roundcube, Atmail, probably more). After searching the lists, I see that this was fixed as a bug back in 1.0, but I guess it crept back in. :-) 1.0.7: * OK Dovecot ready. .

[Dovecot] Shared folders in 2.0
by B. Johannessen 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Anyone using shared folders in 2.0? If so, would you care to share your configuration? I'm seeing all kinds of strangeness, and the only consistent thing so far is that my results are thoroughly inconsistent. There's a very good chance this is all because of my very limited experience with Dovecot, which is why I'd like to be able to start my experiments from a known good configuration. Anyone? Bob

[Dovecot] Manage mails from server
by Неворотин Вадим 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

I've configure Dovecot with shared namespace and IMAP ACL's to make a group mailboxes. I use maildir mailboxes, and I add dovecot-shared file to each group mailbox. So each user with access to group mailbox has their own \Seen flag. And now I need automatically delete a mail from server after 2 weeks after each user has readed email in shared mailbox. How can I from, e.g. Perl script, get \Seen flag for user and mail and then correctly delete a mail from a server? I need to create fully automatical mail system, maybe there is some HOW-TO's or examples anywhere? And will I can in 2.0 use per-user \Deleted flag, not only \Seen?

[Dovecot] dovecot upgrade problems

08 Apr '10

Hi list, i made an upgrade from dovecot 1.0RC15 to 1.1.20 the default installation was under /etc/dovecot. The upgrade installation was made under /usr/local/etc. After that i changed all the paths in the /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf and the dovecot-binary to work with the new installation. Even path-changes were made for /etc/init.d/dovecot to work with the version 1.1.20.

[Dovecot] Forcing NOSELECT for a Maildir folder?
by Nils 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, is it at all possible, possibly without modifying the source code of Dovecot, to enforce that a mailbox gets the NOSELECT attribute? I have a namespace set up like this: namespace private { separator = / prefix = Local Folders/ location = maildir:/xyz/core/store/maildir/%u/ inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } And the folder hierarchy my client builds based on the LIST response from Dovecot comes out as: INBOX Local Folders <--- (standard flags, but no NOSELECT) - Folder 1 -- Folder 1.1 - Folder 2 - Sent - Trash Public Folders <--- NOSELECT - Announcements That's how I expect it, except that I don't want "Local Folders" to be selectable. When I select it and list the contents, I get the contents of INBOX. I have no clue why that happens. :-/ For the public namespace, everything works as expected, so I'm lost. Basically: I want "Local Folders" to be like "Public Folders" and have \NOSELECT. In maildir_storage.c I can find places where a MAILBOX_NOSELECT flag is set, but from what I understand that's only done if the path is not a directory or if the permissions are insufficient. Random taking away of permissions on folders didn't yield the result I wanted. Either it resulted in no change, or in Dovecot complaining that the permissions were now too restrictive. Forgive me if I missed something obvious. I only studied the source using grep and nano for 10 minutes before adding an ugly hack in my client to fake that Dovecot gave the "Local Folders" mailbox the NOSELECT attribute (my client is the only one that will ever talk to my installation of Dovecot, so I can do that). The wiki also didn't mention anything on NOSELECT. Google searches didn't help either. I'd much rather have Dovecot give the response I want, rather than bending its responses around in my client. Any ideas how I can achieve that? - Nils --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# dovecot --version 1.2.11 --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# telnet 127.0.0.1 144 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Private Messages Server 0 LOGIN abc def OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in 1 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Local Folders" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Local Folders/Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Local Folders/Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Public Folders" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Public Folders/Announcements" 1 OK List completed. 2 STATUS INBOX (messages) * STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 4) 2 OK Status completed. 3 STATUS "Local Folders" (messages) * STATUS "Local Folders" (MESSAGES 4) 3 OK Status completed. 4 LOGOUT * BYE Logging out 4 OK Logout completed. --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# dovecot -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm.conf # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-ARCH i686 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot-pm/ listen: 127.0.0.1:144 ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot-pm//login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Private Messages Server mail_max_userip_connections: 5 mail_debug: yes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota trash acl namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: Local Folders/ location: maildir:/xyz/core/store/maildir/%u/ inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Public Folders/ location: maildir:/xyz/core/store/publicmaildir/:INDEX=~/public/ list: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 user: xyz passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=xyz gid=xyz home=/xyz/core/store/maildir/%n plugin: quota: maildir:User Quota quota_rule: *:backend=1000C,26214400S quota_rule2: Trash:storage=25M quota_warning: storage=80%% /xyz/cronobs/QuotaWarning.php quota_warning2: messages=9500 /xyz/cronobs/QuotaWarning.php trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-trash.conf acl_anyone: allow acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/pm-acls --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-sql.conf driver = pgsql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=xyz user=abc password=def default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = \ SELECT "Username" AS "username", "Password" as "password" \ FROM "users" WHERE "Username" = '%n'; --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-trash.conf 1 Local Folders/Trash --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/pm-acls/Announcements authenticated lrs

[Dovecot] Testing 2.0b3 - problem with pop3

I am testing the version on FreeBSD 7.3-PRELEASE (I doubt it's the issue) and I am having a problem with pop3.

[Dovecot] Timeout Value
by JackyC＠umac.mo 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Dear All, I constantly encounter 'dovecot-auth', 'login-imap', 'login-pop3' and 'imap' processes consume 100% CPU. I run 'ps' and found those hanged up processes were running for a long time. I am wondering whether dovecot.conf has some configuration parameters that timeout those processes (or kill those after certain period of time). I am using dovecot 1.2.11 on RHEL 5.3. Many thanks ~~~ Yours Sincerely, Jacky Chan

[Dovecot] expires
by ben＠electricembers.net 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

When the expire cronjob actually finds a folder needs pruning, does it then purge the row from the database? Or could it update the row with the "new" oldest message's expiration time? I guess I can test this for myself. I did just learn that emptying the Trash removes the row from the expires db. . . I had misconfigured expires here, and think I fixed it, but in checking things over, I do find some "over age" files, and their users don't appear in the expires db. So I'm assuming it's because expiration worked on that folder some time ago, and no "new" messages have been delivered there since then to reset the expires db? (Sometimes I wish there wasn't the db, and we could just have a nightly cronjob do all the work on all users' Trash, Spam, Virus folders -- where we pretty much expect to be constantly pruning, or shaving as it were ;) Benjamin
