[Dovecot] Missing Messages on IOS device
by David Morsberger 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Resending because I didn't get any responses from my first post: I just converted my old server running UW/Panda to a Mac Mini Server running Mountain Lion (ML) Server. I'm using the postfix / dovecot setup provided by Apple. My IMAP clients are not showing all my emails. The Mail App on my iPhone and iPad is behaving the worse. I can see the emails that are not showing up in the cur directory. The ML Mail App is stating there are 3854 emails in my INBOX. There are 3948 files in the 'cur' directory ('ls cur | wc -l' returns 3948). Other mailboxes and directories have the same behavior. I'm not sure what to expect here. My method of conversion was to bulk copy (drag and drop) all the messages from one the UW server to the Dovecot server using the Apple Desktop Mail App in Mountain Lion. Any idea why these messages are not showing up on my devices and how I can get them to show up? bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/dovecotd --version 2.0.19apple1 bash-3.2# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/dovecotd -n # 2.0.19apple1: /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 12.2.1 x86_64 hfs aps_topic = com.apple.mail.XServer.fc3bb7c3-c8ef-4fe2-aff3-95ecd927fb11 auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 x-plain-submit plain login apop digest-md5 auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb auth_username_format = %n default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 6 first_valid_uid = 6 mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/%u mail_log_prefix = "%s(pid %p user %u): " mail_plugins = quota zlib fts fts_sk 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 mdbox_rotate_size = 200 M passdb { args = /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/submit.passdb driver = passwd-file pass = yes submit = yes } passdb { driver = od } plugin { fts = sk quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-exceeded %u sieve = /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/%u/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/%u } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mini.mmpcrofton.com protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { extra_groups = _keytabusers idle_kill = 15 mins unix_listener auth-userdb { user = _dovecot } } service dns_client { unix_listener dns-client { mode = 0600 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } service_count = 0 } service imap { client_limit = 5 process_limit = 200 service_count = 0 } service lmtp { unix_listener lmtp { mode = 0600 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service pop3 { client_limit = 5 process_limit = 200 service_count = 0 } service quota-exceeded { executable = script /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-exceeded.sh unix_listener quota-exceeded { group = mail mode = 0660 user = _dovecot } user = _dovecot } service quota-warning { executable = script /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { group = mail mode = 0660 user = _dovecot } user = _dovecot } ssl_ca = </etc/certificates/*.chain.pem ssl_cert = </etc/certificates/*.cert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL ssl_key = </etc/certificates/*.key.pem ssl_key_path = /etc/certificates/*.key.pem syslog_facility = local6 userdb { args = partition=/Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/partition_map.conf enforce_quotas=no driver = od } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota zlib fts fts_sk sieve push_notify } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota zlib fts fts_sk sieve push_notify } protocol imap { imap_id_log = * imap_id_send = "name" * "version" * mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = quota zlib fts fts_sk imap_quota imap_zlib imap_fts urlauth } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 6 }

[Dovecot] Problem with mail_location and INDEX location
by Matt Jones 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

HI, I'm pulling my hair out a little trying to get dovecot to save it's index locally rather than in the NFS mount. No matter what I do it seems to save the indices in the Maildir on the NFS. I'm using dovecot 2.0.18 on CentOS 6.3. The relevant config I'm using: mmap_disable = no dotlock_use_excl = no # only needed with NFSv2, NFSv3+ supports O_EXCL and it's faster mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = no lock_method = dotlock # Mail location and mailbox format. mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%Ld/%Lu/ Dovecot runs under the user:group vmail:vmail, and the user has write access to those directories.

[Dovecot] Shutting down my Dovecot server?
by Bjørn T Johansen 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

I am planning to shut down my own Dovecot server and start using the other Dovecot server I am administering together with a friend.. And I was thinking that I don't want to copy the emails I have on my server so I want to start from scratch on the other server.. But I would like to be able to look at the old emails if I need to, so was wondering if there is a way to do this without using an imap server? Can I convert my mails stored in the maildir format to mbox or is there a better way to solve my problem?

Hi, I know it's a while since you've had this issue, but still do you remember by any chance how you solved this? I'm having the same problems, when all the directories are created with 700 and I need a group permissions to be at least 750. Thanks! regards,

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes and indexes
by Angel L. Mateo 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hello, We are deploying shared mailboxes in our mail system. We are running 2.1.9 and mail backend is maildir. As described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared when shared namespace is configured as namespace shared { separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } each user accessing this folder has its own index, stored in ~/Maildir/shared/%%u/<shared mailbox>, hasn't it? Our mail is store in NFS disks so we are very concerned about indexes optimizations (we had performance problems until we got all of our indexes and nfs tunned). So, is there any way so those indexes could be shared for all users (and they always would be updated). Regarding this... if we'd use dbox instead of maildir, indexes are a really important part of the mailbox and they can't be re-constructed when they are outdated. So, how do shared mailboxes work with dbox backend? Do I have to configure indexes in any particular way? -- Angel L.
