[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto a subfolder fails
by Rich McAllister 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I'm using Dovecot 1.0.10 on Ubuntu 8.04, using the packages from the distro; exim4 is my MTA and it's configured according to the instructions in the wiki, everything is working fine for delivery into the Maildir INBOX via Dovecot's LDA and reading mail via IMAP using Thunderbird. My habit on previous mail systems was to create a Lists folder and subfolders under Lists for each mailing list I subscribe to. I tried to use Dovecot sieve to sort mail into the folders with sieve filters like require "fileinto"; if header :contains "Subject" "[NCCC]" { fileinto "Lists/NCCC"; } else { keep; } I created Lists/NCCC via Thunderbird (so I could set the "check this folder for new mail property") but when Dovecot tries to deliver into the folder, I get the log message msgid=<...>: Couldn't open mailbox Lists/NCCC: Invalid mailbox name If I use just fileinto "NCCC"; it works fine, going into a NCCC folder not in a subfolder as expected. Is there some other syntax for specifying folder/subfolder names in Dovecot sieve, or do I just have to live with the folders all at the top level? Rich dovecot -n shows: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/arda/export/mail/%u/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto a subfolder fails -- more info, possible workaround
by Rich McAllister 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

After looking at the way Maildir represents subfolders, I changed the sieve line from fileinto "Lists/NCCC"; to fileinto "Lists.NCCC"; and now it files into the NCCC subfolder of Lists as I wanted. I'm not sure whether this is the expected behavior or just an accident that plugging that string into the file name happens to result in the right name. I haven't tried, but if it's just passing the fileinto argument along with minimal inspection, I'm afraid the answer might be use "Lists/NCCC" if mail is in mbox format but "Lists.NCCC" if mail is in Maildirs, and it certainly seems that users editing their sieve scripts shouldn't have to know that. Rich dovecot -n shows: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/arda/export/mail/%u/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Dovecot - T-Bird - RETR command failed
by Calvin Gordon 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have recently installed new untangle firewalls ( untangle.com) in Bridge mode at two office locations. Both offices collect mail from a Fedora 9, postfix,dovecot server at location #1. Since the install of the untangles i have been plagued by Thunderbird Errors while trying to POP email. The error says "RETR" command failed. If the user logs into the webmail (Squirrelmail) on the mail server and cleans out his inbox by deleting all existing mail, T-Bird starts operating again. This error has repeated itself without a pattern i can identify dozens of time over the last few weeks. No other email client displays errors. T-Bird = 2.0.0.16 on XP or Vista OS UT = 5.3.0~svn20080624r1690release5.3-1sarge Dovecot = Version : 1.0.15, Release : 10.fc9 Postfix = Version : 2.5.1, Release : 2.fc9 Dovecot tail -f maillog | grep 'username' Aug 6 13:37:06 mailserver1 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:128.1.1.5, lip=::ffff:128.1.1.10 Aug 6 13:37:07 mailserver1 dovecot: POP3(username): Disconnected top=0/0, retr=1/2287, del=0/1, size=2270 Has anyone else seen this issue with T-Bird ?

[Dovecot] Online backup with dovecot
by Johan 'yosh' Marklund 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi! Do you guys/girls (whichever you prefer) know if it's possible (i.e. in some semitransparent/easy way) to incorporate an online backup system? If the mail is older than a set amount of days it gets compressed. I want my mail storage size to shrink but on the other hand I want to keep the mails I get and have them easily readable :) I'm thinking of symlinks and some kind of gzip fuse filesystem... Please save me ,) /yosh

Hi, I'm trying to create Shared folder with subfolders "SPAM" and "NOT_Spam". Configuration: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Shared/ location = maildir:/vmail/%Ld/Shared:INDEX=/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Shared hidden = no } Result I get (is exactly what I want): Inbox Drafts Sent Trash Shared --NOT_Spam --SPAM I can select SPAM and NOT_Spam, delete messages etc, but when I select "Shared", it shows: "Mailbox doesn't exist: Shared." As a client I used OE and Thunderbird. How to get rid of that message? I'm running latest Dovecot release 1.1.2 /Tom

[Dovecot] LDA qmail - vpopmail
by Ron Culler 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I am trying to setup LDA with qmail/vpopmail to use the expire plugin and I am getting errors about auth-master (Can't connect to auth server at /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory) The auth default section of the dovecot.conf is set to use vpopmail(mysql) and that works great for IMAP access. Can anyone share a config for using the expire plugin with qmail/vpopmail? I was wanting to put the preline commands in the .qmail-default files on a per-domain basis. /home/vpopmail/domains/domain1.com/.qmail-default But to start I tried just putting it into the .qmail file for an individual user. Thanks Ron Culler

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP INBOX Namespace iPhone
by Andrew Goldschmidt 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi Guys, Our ISP who is hosting our email, recently moved our domain's email onto a new mail server, which is apparently running Dovecot, and has support for IMAP. * OK Dovecot ready. Most of the email clients have not had a problem moving from the old server to the new server. But some have! Including the iPhone users. The problem is that the INBOX is not directly accessible through the email client. (The following work perfectly: Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird - even though the INBOX is NOT specifically returned in the list of subscribed folders, it is there, with emails in it) 006 SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $MDNSent Junk NonJunk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $MDNSent Junk NonJunk \*)] Flags permitted. * 49 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1211291159] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 458] Predicted next UID 006 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. The iPhone simply refuses to allow access into the INBOX, but children folders work 100%. http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/891/img0003ui8.png I think that it has something to do with this: 006 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Junk E-mail" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Deleted Items" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Work" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Friends" 006 OK List completed. There is NO INBOX specifically returned ... Zimbra Desktop Client refuses to even load any messages from the Inbox. Is this a problem at all? Is this something that my ISP should be able to fix? Is this a problem that can be fixed? http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6793/thunderbirdmi8.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/1165/outlookul6.jpg Any ideas ??? Andrew

[Dovecot] migrating from specialized qpopper
by Cruzio Research 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I'm hoping to migrate to dovecot from qpopper, with the eventual goal of enabling IMAP. However, my qpopper installation is fairly specialized, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone could get me headed down the best path. Here's the situation. I'm running FreeBSD and have a virtual domains setup with an extremely hacked LDA to do delivery to mailboxes within hashed directories under each virtual domain. Each domain also has a separate password file. This is NOT any virtual domain setup that you'd be familiar with, as it is an in-house creation that is about 9 years old now. I have 8000 users utilizing mailboxes on these domains, so having them reconfigure to use realms/domains in their login isn't really an option. With qpopper, we run it from inetd and use hosts.allow to call each instance with special information about the password file location, etc, like this: popper: ALL : twist (/pathto/bin/popper -d -s -T 300 -h %H -p /pathto/www.%H/passwd -x /pathto/www.%H/spool) This allows us to insert the domain (%H) based on what hostname the user is connecting to and change parameters based on that. Would their be any easy way to do this with dovecot? Thanks in advance for your help. Mark

[Dovecot] Dovecot and "deliver" disagree on character encodings
by Björn Persson 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi, I have a problem where Dovecot and its LDA seem to disagree on what character encoding should be used in Maildir names. I use Dovecot and Postfix on a Debian server. Mail is delivered by Dovecot LDA (called from .forward) and sorted according to a Sieve script into a number of Maildir folders in my home directory. Dovecot serves the mail over IMAP and I read it in Kmail. I originally created the mail folders with Kmail, and Dovecot created the directories with their names encoded in modified UTF-7, like in IMAP. The Sieve script is encoded in UTF-8, in accordance with RFC 3028. When the Sieve script specifies a mail folder with non-English letters in the name, the LDA doesn't put the messages in the corresponding modified-UTF-7-encoded directory. Instead it creates a new directory with the same name but encoded in UTF-8. That directory doesn't show up as a mail folder in Kmail, presumably because Dovecot considers the UTF-8-encoded name invalid. The Dovecot I got with Debian isn't exactly the most recent version. I searched for "Maildir", "deliver" and "Sieve" in the changelog, and didn't find anything about this. Should I consider upgrading anyway, abandoning the Debian package? Here are the details: Debian Etch (4.0) Dovecot 1.0.rc15 I don't know how to find out the version number of the Sieve plugin but it's the one that came with Dovecot in the Debian package. CPU: Intel Pentium filesystem: ext3 marvin:~# dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap listen: [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/mail.rombobeorn.se.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/mail.rombobeorn.se.key ssl_cipher_list: <too long, and can't possibly be relevant> login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes imap_client_workarounds: auth default: mechanisms: digest-md5 user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: beorn@marvin:~$ cat .forward | "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/deliver.conf" beorn@marvin:~$ cat /etc/dovecot/deliver.conf protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)xn--rombobjrn-67a.se mail_plugins = cmusieve } Apart from this problem, thanks for a very good IMAP server!

[Dovecot] multiple password schemes and sql?
by R A 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello all. Just about to migrate from courier to dovecot, and figured I would as well try and get this working so I could use non plaintext mechanisms as well. I would like to offer at least: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 and maybe more Everything works but this and have a testdb in sql with passwords like userid, password But get "Password query returned multiple matches" which indicates it doesnt try using any prefix and just get a hit on all "passwords" for that user. Is there any variable I can use in the sql query to use an extra field that contains the password type? plain and login should be stored in some crypted form, probably as md5 or sha256 hashes. Thankful for any insight into this...

[Dovecot] syncml with server push email
by Harondel J. Sibble 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Any recommendations for server push email using syncml and dovecot? I am familiar with Funambol for syncing pim info, but not used it for email. Are there any recommended opensource or commercial syncml servers that are known to integrate nicely with Dovecot 1.x? Googling hasn't really turned up much in the way of useful info. To mix it up a little, I was using Funambol for the Pim stuff, but ran into a bunch of issues and switched to eGroupWare which has it's own syncml ability which works quite nicely with my pda. I stopped using Funambol as the server didn't properly deal with the conversion from vcal to ical and as a result appointments synced on the pda end, always ended up 8 hours early :-( This was going from ThunderBird to Windows Mobile, so I am hoping to avoid this happening again. -- Harondel J.

[Dovecot] Multiple network interface question
by Mike Henry 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi all, Sorry if this question has been posted before. I have dug through the archives but haven't found any relevant answers to this question. I am running Dovecot on a server that serves a number of (virtual) domains each with a number of (virtual) users. To read mail I am providing a webmail client and have configured HTTPS connections using reverse DNS so that each domain has its own IP address and that each IP address gets mapped to a different virtual host. Each virtual host presents and HTTPS connection particular to their own domain using the SSL certificate for that domain so that each user only sees his or her own domain throughout. Is it possible to configure Dovecot so that mail-clients like Thunderbird or Outlook can connect via the default port using their own domain (maybe also using reverse DNS) and be presented with an SSL connection particular to that domain (i.e. using that domains certificate)? Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance, -Mike

Thx for your long post! ^_^ I understood that it was something like .<prefix><separator>folder1<separator>folder2 But, from my tests, it seems not to work as expected... At least not with thunderbird. By default, Tbird has "allow server to override namespaces" prefix=INBOX. and separator=. => no prefix and Trash system not working. prefix= and separator=. => INBOX. prefix (from tbird) and Trash system working. '/' in prefix and separator seems to be ignored (converted to '.'). I guess I will leave it to prefix= and separator=. but one user who uses apple mail complained about some prefix problems... Thx, JD

[Dovecot] unclear alias behaviour
by andel 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi all In /etc/aliases I have set up an alias for "root" pointing to "david" which is a unix account. Other email accounts are virtual dovecot accounts, one of them is "andel". They all work fine using /etc/postfix/virtual when used with the domain name which is defined in /etc/postfix/virtual.domains. But the alias "david andel" in /etc/postfix/virtual does work only when sending to "david(a)domain.com" but not for the local mails sent to "root". And then there is another behaviour I don't understand. In my virtual mail folder /srv/vmail/domain.com dovecot made a new directory structure "david" which I didn't intend, for postfix should rewrite it to "andel". Where is the error? Thanks for any hints, David

[Dovecot] Custom Debian package bulding
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi I am using Debian source packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/. When downloading dependencies, I have seen that the package requires MySQL, that I don't use. How could I remove this dependency or chanage them? Is that defined in any file? However, I would like to use SQLite or Postgres to store dict data for the Expire plugin. Where should I enable these flags? Thanks.

[Dovecot] LOCALSTATEDIR
by Radomir Zoltowski 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found: I do this: > ./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in effect produces binary with following strings being built-in: > strings dovecot | grep var /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/run/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat var-expand.c var_expand_table_build So, the question is, is this a bug or my understanding wrong? I just need a network install, using local /var directiories for runtime data. Imagine that I have no write permissions to the installation (--prefix) folder. If you can reproduce it, this should be it, if you can't let me know to email you all the environment details.

[Dovecot] Override config in deliver command line
by dovecot＠iotti.biz 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi all In dovecot deliver LDA, is there a way to override some configuration settings for particular users? Tha full story is: I have a simple postfix/dovecot setup. No virtual users, delivery is done in /home/mail/%u. For a specific user, I would like to deliver to a maildir. Since mail_location is not explicitly configured, I simply created ~/Maildir for that user, relying on the default automatic mailbox location procedure used by dovecot. But I would like to be able to override this setting: for example if I wanted to use a name different from Maildir, this trick would not be sufficient. So it would be nice to have some way to change mail_location (and why not, other config parameters) only for particular users (and for me, doing this on the command line would be good: something like Postfix where you can override config parameters simply writing the new settings in master.cf on the daemon's command line). I noticed the -c command line switch, but I would prefer not to have entirely different configuration files for my users, where a single change must be manually propagated on all the files. I use dovecot-1.0.15 on CentOS5. Maybe this question can be read as a feature request too. Thanks Luigi

[Dovecot] Errors with dovecot 1.1.2

Hello, i upgraded dovecot to 1.1.2 this weekend and i get those errors: grep dovecot /var/log/net/maillog |grep Panic | cut -d " " -f 11-100| sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 7368 file index-sync.c: line 39: assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) 71 file index-mail.c: line 1091: assertion failed: (! mail->data.destroying_stream) 18 file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 590: assertion failed: (mails[idx].from_offset == start_offset) 5 file mbox-lock.c: line 675: assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) 3 file ostream-file.c: line 533: assertion failed: ((size_t)ret == total_size || !fstream->file) My setup is this: 3 servers, all Solaris, running dovecot, share home directiories via NFS, mbox format mailboxes in home directories. Indexes are separate in every server, not shared via NFS. About 20 000 users total. When old indexes (1.0.15) were present, mailboxes with UID validity problems did not fix themselves, but after i removed index directories in all machines, seems like it started to repair uid validity problems. The first panic seems to be tied to UID validity problems. Some locking problems may be, because i renamed index directory and created new while dovecot was running. -- Lauri Jesmin <lauri.jesmin(a)ut.ee> Tartu Ülikool

[Dovecot] namespaces...
by John Doe 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I am new to dovecot and I am a bit confused with how namespaces/prefixes/separators are handled by the clients and dovecot... I tried to understand the desciption from the conf file but without success. With each conf I create the following path /f1/f2 on the client (thunderbird) and get the following on the dovecot server: PREFIX= and separator=/ => .INBOX.f1.f2 + .INBOXTrash PREFIX=INBOX/ and separator=/ => .f1.f2 and no Trash PREFIX=INBOX. and separator=. => .f1.f2 and no Trash Could someone point me to some IMAP for dummy web page...? ;D Or, what is the best conf able to handle most clients? Thx, JD

[Dovecot] Distributed indexes, maildir_copy_preserve_filename, and Microsoft
by Jack Stewart 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I've just completed a migration from Courier to a Dovecot 1.0.7 (patched RHE 5) which is working great, except for this weirdness of an issue that is impacting a handful of users. My question is that will turning off maildir_copy_preserve_filename help or hurt in a situation where there are multiple servers with their own local INDEX files (uidlist is shared)? The problem is that a few users on a few versions of Microsoft Mail clients are not showing a few messages. They can see the messages just fine in webmail and other, more typical, E-mail clients. I know that the right solution is to upgrade to 1.1.2 and use shared indexes. The plan is to upgrade in a month or so. In my defense, this setup was not of my making, The two things issues that might have an impact are that we have shared (NFS) maildirs on multiple servers with their own local indexes and maildir_copy_preserve_file turned on. The uidlist (CONTROL) is shared and we have sticky connections turned on in our load balancer. The vast majority of clients do not have this issue. Quite frankly I have no idea these clients are ignoring the dovecot-uidlist. Would turning off maildir_copy_preserve_filename help with this setup? Another option might be easier is to delete the users INDEX and let the clients rebuild them. Since this is only a handful of users and we are migrating to 1.1.2 anyway, my preference is to make the bare minimum of changes to help address this problem. The changes need not be perfect nor anytime more than a suggestion or preference. I just want to make things better for a little while. Many thanks in advance. ---Jack P.S. The performance improvement is amazing - anywhere from 2X to 12X depending on what metrics you are looking at. It isn't an apples to apples comparison since we upgraded the servers as well but the "old" servers are pretty powerful beasts. -- Jack Stewart jstewart(a)caltech.edu / 626-395-4690 http://www.imss.caltech.edu

[Dovecot] Option to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME, rather than the IMAP root?
by David McBride 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Greetings, Is there a mechanism (or relatively small source-code change) which would cause Dovecot to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME rather than the configured IMAP root? * * * Background: We're currently migrating from a WU-IMAP mailserver configuration which stores user mail in a global NFS-exported $HOME, and we've run into well-known issues handling client-specified IMAP prefixes. If a user specifies an IMAP prefix, Dovecot evaluates the path given relative to the IMAP root path specified in mail_location, rather than resolving it relative to the user's home directory as our old WU-IMAP installation would do. (For example: if a user has been keeping their mail in $HOME/foobar, and mail_location's folder path is set to %h/mail, then when that user comes to retrieve their mail with an IMAP prefix set to "~/foobar", then Dovecot will attempt to return the contents of the folder $HOME/mail/~/foobar -- which doesn't exist -- rather than $HOME/foobar.) At the moment, we have several hidden namespaces set up to support various common user-side variations -- "mail/", "Mail/", "~/Mail/", etc. -- each with a different custom mail_location string. Whilst this works for these common cases, it's fairly ugly, and results in extra empty directories appearing in users' $HOME. If there was some mechanism for telling Dovecot to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME rather than the mail folder root specified in mail_location, that would provide us with a much neater and general-purpose solution. (I was hoping that setting full_filesystem_access=yes would do this, but it only relaxes the normal access permissions.) Cheers, David -- David McBride <dwm(a)tastycake.net>

22 Aug '08

Hi, I'm new here in the list so Hello to everyone! I'm compiling dovecot 1.0.10 with pam support in SLES 9 but i'm getting errors in config.log and it won't compile with pam support. Here are the results: s1:~/dovecot-1.0.10# ./configure --with-pam | grep pam checking for pam_start in -lpam... no and in config.log: configure:28830: checking for pam_start in -lpam configure:28865: gcc -o conftest -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast conftest.c -lpam >&5 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam I have all libpam libraries in /lib and ldconfig is giving ok: s1:~/dovecot-1.0.10# ldconfig -v | grep pam libpam.so.0 -> libpam.so.0.77 libpam_misc.so.0 -> libpam_misc.so.0.77 libpamc.so.0 -> libpamc.so.0.77 Any help or directions would be great! Thanks, Jorge

[Dovecot] assertion failed
by CJ Keist 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I haven't heard anything on this bug. Is this a bug? I'm using dovecot 1.1.2 with the following patch applied: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/d674c05d725d Another section from my logs. I know the backtrace is just numbers, let me know how to compile to get more useful information if you need it. So far no one is beating down my door, so I don't think users are seeing any ill effects. But I would sleep better knowing why it's happening.

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam: Failed to read mail beginning, Next message unexpectedly lost

[Dovecot] dovecot panic after upgrade 1.0.15 to 1.1.2
by Eric Rostetter 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I recently upgraded dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.1.2 and since then I am getting the following types of things in the logs: Aug 21 17:23:13 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<myuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.78.20, lip=172.16.78.22 Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: Panic: IMAP(myuser): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: IMAP(myuser): Raw backtrace: imap [0x80d25bb] -> imap [0x80d2def] -> imap [0x80d2719] -> imap [0x809edb8] -> imap(index_mailbox_set_recent_seq+0x46) [0x809ee06] -> imap [0x8083183] -> imap [0x8083621] -> imap [0x8083c3c] -> imap(mbox_sync+0x25) [0x80840d5] -> imap [0x807b993] -> imap(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x51) [0x80aee31] -> imap(index_transaction_commit+0x52) [0x809fe32] -> imap(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_uids+0x34) [0x80a2874] -> imap(cmd_copy+0x16a) [0x805b19a] -> imap [0x806068e] -> imap [0x8060536] -> imap [0x80606ea] -> imap [0x8060791] -> imap(client_input+0x67) [0x8060897] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0x112) [0x80daa92] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x2f) [0x80d9e4f] -> imap(main+0x61) [0x8068d81] -> /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xda) [0x12679a] -> imap(__fxstat64+0x6d) [0x8059ed1] Did I miss something in the upgrade process, or is this a bug that has yet to be fixed? This seems to be happening to many various users for various reasons. But I can verify for Andreas M. Kirchwitz who noted the other day that one of the easiest way to produce it seems to be "saving" or "moving" between folders in (Al)Pine... If Timo wants, I can send the dovecot.(index|index.cache|index.log) files for when this happens, but I would need to know what to send (both the folder being moved from and folder being moved to, or just one of them) and anything else needed, and the email to send them to. Sending the folder itself might be problematic, but might be possible. If we can't get this resolved by early next week, I might have to downgrade back to the previous version... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!

[Dovecot] Simplest (static?) build & config for loopback access?
by FZiegler 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I am installing Dovecot for the sole purpose of maintaining a local mail store that I could 1) manage with any client; 2) keep duplicated on several machines, using Unison; 3) hopefully, index using Spotlight (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1308 ...). In particular, I have no intention to allow connections from anywhere but localhost. I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless and it all seems to work quite well, but I'm not sure about 3 things: 1) Initially Dovecot would not respond to Thunderbird ("Could not connect to server localhost; the connection was refused"). Eventually, a "Trying ::1..." in the telnet log (see below) made me find hidden pref "network.dns.disableIPv6" and set it to FALSE. Which solves the problem -- but is this really needed, or have I done something wrong? 2) The Dovecot I built on OS X 10.4 appears to work fine when copied on another Mac running 10.5. Now, I'd love to avoid installing developer tools on both machines, but I fear this an illusion (some libraries are changing under us, e.g. libiconv.2.2.0.dylib --> libiconv.2.4.0.dylib). Does this mean I should try a static build? If so, what are the flags and how do I go about specifying a minimal set of libraries to include for my purposes? 3) Probably offtopic here, but has anyone seen a better way to index mail in Spotlight than just as plain text? E.g. to hook up Apple's importer (Mail.mdimporter in /System/Library/Spotlight) or Thunderbird's (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290057) which I guess can better deal with quoted-printable and other encodings? Thanks in advance; I include my compilation and config data below.

[Dovecot] POP3 UID file problem
by naslov naslov 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello. I upgraded from RHRL4 to RHEL5 and my dovecot version changed from dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 to dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5. I also transferred all /home directories of users. The problem is that users have POP3 mail client set that it leaves mail on mailserver for 30 days. When they try to download messages from new server, client (Thinderbird) want to download all messages for those 30 days (he of course already has all those messages..). I suspect UID POP3 database index file format has changed.. How to "convert" dovecot 0.99 POP3 UID files to those used in newer version or how to go around that? Thanks for answering, naslov [root@mercury5 INBOX]# dovecot -n # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
