[Dovecot] Establing a GMail like workflow
by Florian Lindner 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Hello! I'm about to migrate my mails from GMail back to my self hosted solution, using Dovecot imap server. I really liked gmail workflow: - (Almost) all mail goes to inbox. - Most mail is read and not important anymore, it is archived and moved to "all messages". - Inbox stays more or less clean, with only mails that are still of some interest. - Mail (except Spam) is never deleted, just archived. How can I achieve such a workflow using Dovecot and some MUA (Roundcube and probably KMail). - I can simply delete messages that I want to archive, Trash will never be purged. Problems: Some mail clients have settings like "Purge Trash at exit", so my mail is always in danger of being deleted accidently. Futhermore it does not really have the semantics of what I am actually doing. - Instead of deleting messages for archiving, move them to some Archiv folder. Since archiving is a very frequent action this involves much more cliks in the MUA than just deleting. Or some configuration change in the client. How would you do that? I'm also open to entirely different suggestions! What I want are basically these things: - Never delete legitimate mail - Use the Inbox as a workspace for mails that are still of some interest. This can also be quite old mail, time based archiving does not work. - Have some kind of mail archive. Thanks! Florian

[Dovecot] Dovecot login slow
by Marc Perkel 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Can't figure out why the login is slow. I telnet to port 143 on localhost. I type: 0 login user password Takes about 10 seconds and it lets me in. I'm using MYSQL and it's a small indexed database on a fast server so it's not the mysql query that's slowing it down. At least I don't think it is. But - kind of stumped. Just wondering if there's something obvious I'm overlooking.

[Dovecot] Executing a wget? or clicking on a link in inbound email?
by Voytek 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

I use Dovecot, but all I know about Dovecot is that's it is an IMAP server, and, I know that it includes lots of other stuff that I see discussed on this list, but I know nothing about it. I have a situation that, maybe once a week, I get an html only email that contains 3 clickable links. I would like, on receipt of such email, auto click the first link (perhaps execute a wget to do so? or ?) Can something like this be done, which of the tools, what docs to look at? link is like so http://llll.domain.tld/irportal?id=a0000000006hWO4AAM0000000000KlOrcAAF1111… Dovecot 2.09 Centos (apologies for blank post I've just sent) -- Sent from Kaiten Mail.

[Dovecot] Autocreation of sieve filters
by Angel L. Mateo 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Hello, Is there any way to create a predefined sieve filters during mailbox autocreation? What I want is that my user's mailboxes are automatically created (using mailbox option in namespaces) but I want them to have a predefined sieve script. Using a postlogin script could be an idea, but I'd prefer an automatic one, because postlogin only will filter after first user login -- Angel L.

So, your in a blacklist as well? wouldnt have anything to do with your actions pretty much everywhere would it now, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, of course not. Taking into account all of the above, I think its fair to say, its more than one person that doesn't like your foul mouthed antics, which was explained to you many times by fedora moderators, trying to get you to change, all you had to do, and they would remove moderation, but you refused, so you deserve it, no one else to blame but yourself YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM >>> blocked using >>> bl.alt-backspace.org; This range is used by caustic Internet troll >>> Harald >>> Reindl h.reindl(a)thelounge.net / ACCESS DENIED - see >>> http://www.alt-backspace.org/usage.php#misc (in reply to RCPT TO >>> command) Awesome!

Red herring; this is standard. I think it means "feed this file into stdin". On 11/13/2013 12:41 PM, Marc Perkel wrote: >>> Takes about 10 seconds and it lets me in.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.9 Quota Limit issues
by David Johnson 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hello, I've tried searching for information regarding this problem but haven't found anything. Currently I have a Dovecot 2.0.9 with virtual users from a SQL table. Right now I'm only using global quota limits. Here is my quota setup: plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=3G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_rule3 = Archive:storage=+1G quota_rule4 = Archive/2013:storage=+1G quota_rule5 = Junk:ignore } According to the documentation this should allow the Archive folder to have an additional 1G in it that is not counted toward the global 3G. However I have users who have 2G in the Archive folder, and about 1G elsewhere. At this point they stop receiving emails due to quota exceeded. doveadm quota get -u <user> displays this: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 3150312 3145728 100 User quota MESSAGE 8271 - 0 If I change Archive:storage=+1G to Archive:ignore then they can receive emails again. After the change doveadm quota get -u displays this: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1266885 3145728 40 User quota MESSAGE 8271 - 0 Is there something I'm missing as to why this setup isn't working? Thanks! -- David J.

[Dovecot] Can't see e-mails
by Muzaffer Tolga Ozses 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi, I have a postfix+dovecot+mysql+roundcube setup. I recently changed providers. At the moment, postfix can receive e-mails but either dovecot or roundcube can't see e-mails. I did a telnet example.com 143 then a login user pass and this is what I see: 2013-11-12 16:08:51 auth: Debug: sql(alanya(a)boradental.com.tr,193.255.135.254): SELE CT '/var/vmail/boradental.com.tr/alanya' as home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/ boradental.com .tr/alanya' as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'alanya(a)boradental.com.tr' AND active = '1' 2013-11-12 16:08:51 auth: Debug: master out: USER 3767009281 alanya@borad ental.com.tr home=/var/vmail/boradental.com.tr/alanya mail=maildir:/va r/vmail/boradental.com.tr/alanya uid=5000 gid=5000 quota=dirsize:storage=0 so I'm assuming dovecot works. Am I right to assume this? If I'm not, what's the solution? If I am, how can I debug this? Regards,
