[Dovecot] should dovecot store maildir files with CRLF or LF?
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi. I've made a strange observation. When having Dovecot (at least) with maildir and moving (via IMAP) mail received by some client (Evolution 3.4) into it the following happens: Regardless of whether the mail was originally(!) set with CRLF or LF (i.e. when I use netcat to submit the plain SMTP to the relaying MTA). When the client (Evolution) had received the mail via POP3 before moving it via IMAP into Dovecot... then the maildir file within dovecot is all LF. When the client however received it via IMAP, before in turn moving it on via IMAP into Dovecot, then the maildir file is mixed CRLF and LF, i.e. the body is CRLF, the headers are terminated... Well the actually bug here is probably in Evolution (as so many others... o.O)... but I wondered... what is Dovecot expected to write files? Platform end-of-line markers (i.e. LF in case of UNIX) or always network end-of-line markers (CRLF)? Cheers, Chris.

[Dovecot] ACLs - creating new top level folders
by Ingo Rogalsky 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi, I'm wondering, whether it's possible, to define an ACL on the mailbox itself. We use Dovecot 1.2.15 (included in Debian 6) and maildir filesystem layout: /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/cur Inbox /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/tmp / /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/cur folder1 /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/tmp / ... Assigning an ACL with full access rights for user2 to the folder Inbox works as expected. user2 can create subfolders of Inbox, too. But he can't create a new folder like folder1 parallel to Inbox. Is there a possibility of defining an ACL on the mailbox of user1 itself? Or do we need to create all subfolders beneath Inbox like this is usual with other IMAP servers?

[Dovecot] dsync-2.2.2 incorrectly synchronizes subscription status of deleted mailbox
by Karol Jurak 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi, It seems that dsync-2.2.2 doesn't correctly synchronize subscription status of a deleted mailbox. The situation is as follows. There are two servers: A and B, and a test user test_mdbox. Mailboxes (mdbox) of this user on both servers are synchronized. Specifically on both of them there is a Trash/x mailbox. Replication plugin is disabled. I delete Thrash/x mailbox on A with Thunderbird. The relevant IMAP commands issued are: 71 87.068176 10.4.0.13 10.1.107.144 IMAP Request: 9 delete "Trash/x" 72 87.072238 10.1.107.144 10.4.0.13 IMAP Response: 9 OK Delete completed. 73 87.073736 10.4.0.13 10.1.107.144 IMAP Request: 10 unsubscribe "Trash/x" 74 87.085263 10.1.107.144 10.4.0.13 IMAP Response: 10 OK Unsubscribe completed. Inspecting output of 'doveadm mailbox list' and contents of subscriptions file shows that everything is as expected, ie. mailbox was deleted and unsubscribed. Moreover in dovecot.mailbox.log on A the following records appear: #480: delete-mailbox 3f3eb117a51c9a51d8280000f671379f (2013-05-20 14:54:40) #504: delete-dir f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:54:40) #528: unsubscribe f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:54:40) Subsequently I run 'doveadm sync -u test_mdbox -d'. It causes an entry for Thrash/x to reappear in subscriptions file on both servers and the following records are appended to dovecot.mailbox.log on B: #2112: delete-mailbox 3f3eb117a51c9a51d8280000f671379f (2013-05-20 14:55:49) #2136: delete-dir f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:55:49) On A this record is added: #552: subscribe f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:55:49) So, in described situation, dsync subscribes a mailbox on a server it was deleted on instead of unsubscribing it on the other one. -- Karol Jurak

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.1 LDA and sieve (lack of) errors
by Jim McNamara 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hello again, all. Of course after posting yesterday that all was well with my setup, turns out all is not well. The problem I'm having is with dovecot-lda functioning and making deliveries to my mailbox, but the sieve scripts don't seem to have any effect. Attempts at logging what is/isn't happening have been total failures. Managesieve seems to work fine, port 4190 is open on the server and it allows the tunderbird plugin to function, I can create and edit scripts with the plugin. For some reason it doesn't seem to auto-compile the scripts to binary form, but if I just need to do that manually I can live with it. I only mention the lack of auto-compiling in case that sheds light on what is wrong with the LDA or sieve. I'm running the current dovecot, 2.2.1 along with pigeonhole 0.4.0. Here is the config: root@hostname:/usr/local/dovecot-2.2.1# doveconf -n # 2.2.1: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.0 auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_default_realm = mail.domain.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb debug_log_path = /dev/stderr default_internal_user = vpopmail default_login_user = vpopmail first_valid_gid = 89 first_valid_uid = 89 hostname = mail.domain.com last_valid_gid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes log_path = /dev/stderr mail_access_groups = 89 mail_debug = yes mail_gid = 89 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_plugins = " quota" mail_privileged_group = 89 mail_uid = 89 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave spamtest spamtestplus vnd.dovecot.debug namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } passdb { driver = vpopmail } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=2G quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u sieve = ~/.sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve sieve_extensions = +spamtest +spamtestplus +relational +comparator-i;ascii-numeric +vnd.dovecot.debug } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mail.domain.com protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/sendmail service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vchkpw mode = 0600 user = vpopmail } user = $default_internal_user } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl = required ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.priv userdb { args = quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q driver = vpopmail } protocol lda { info_log_path = /dev/stderr log_path = /dev/stderr mail_plugins = " quota sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = " quota quota" } I've set the lda specific logs to /dev/stderr because I'm running dovecot through daemontools, and that is what it logs.

Re: [Dovecot] Outlook 2013 - mounting folders with XLIST
by Hajo Locke 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hello, >> i do some tests with dovecot 2.1.7 and activated a default special-use >> config. To get it work with outlook 2013, i also added XLIST to imap >> capability string. basically this is working. >> >> is somebody also using special-use folders successful with outlook 2013? > yes, testet a few times, works fine, without Junk folder , cause > outlook wants this handled by it own, but i ve seen reg patches to > change this My serverside setup now is completed. I did a lot of tests last weeks and experienced some strange behaviour of some clients. Outlook 2013 is only working when adding XLIST manually to imap_capability imap_capability = +XLIST This is because outlook 2013 not supports rfc 6154 but the deprecated XLIST standard invented by google. So the problem with junkfolder is not a bug in Outlook 2013, in rfc 6154 spamfolder is tagged by \Junk, in XLIST standard \Spam is used. I did see that when using a gmailaccount in outlook 2013. Adding XLIST capability to dovecot seems to be a problem for other Clients. k9 is able to work with rfc 6154 servers. But if k9 finds XLIST and SPECIAL-USE together in capabilitystring it seems to prefer XLIST requests. Because of dovecot is accepting XLIST requests, but outputs rfc 6154 details, k9 seems to be confused and dont finds special Folders. rfc 6154 is similar but not identical to XLIST. If you dont test with really individual foldernames, you get tricked by clients behaviour. I looked around and the most imap-servers of hosting companies etc. provide XLIST feature, Special-USE unfortunately only a few. So i did now some changes to dovecot sources on my own. I added \Spam as allowed special-use attribute and created a new function for XLIST Requests. So if XLIST is requested, Clients gets lines of output with XLIST and \Junk is replaced with \Spam. So all is done in the code and i dont need to change my userdb-config. Testing this server with different clients was successful. All of them did find their special folders and worked fine, outlook 2013 also finds spamfolder now. So this changes contribute to consolidate a deprecated standard but i have to find a way where all users can benefit from new features. This is not a request to change something in dovecot, this is a call to decision makers to support one rfc Standard. Hajo
