[Dovecot] How Dovecot 2 create folders and subfolders ( MBOX format ) with TB ?
by Frank Bonnet 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder. If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA. Very useful :-) I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?

[Dovecot] restore lost emails
by Daminto Lie 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I am running Postfix 2.7.0, Dovecot 1.2.9 and squirrelmail. Every week, I perform a back-up on both Postfix and Dovecot (maildir and conf folders). That's good because I have all the emails backed up. And now what I would like to ask is whether or not there are any easy way of restoring e-mails if some emails got deleted by accident or for other reason. So far, I have tried to look up the answer on the Internet but got a bit of vague answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello folks, I recent update my dovecot 2.0.6 to the version 2.0.13 cause i wanted to use dovecot index to build fts squat for users! I noticed that there is no log for the fts build action, it does log all actions to the normal index.cache. Timo, could you add some logging please? And also, if possible an option to cache all mailbox of the users! Thanks a lot! Right now is already helping me a lot. []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Subject: IMAP crash on index
by Ruan Kendall 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I'm running Dovecot 1.2.15 as an IMAP server on an up-to-date Debian v6 VM. I've recently upgraded the server from a pretty crusty old Debian v4 installation, though I don't recall exactly which version of Dovecot that would have been running. I guess I could try crawling through the old logs to check if it is likely to be useful. The upgrade seemed to have gone fine and I've been using the new server for about a week, but this morning I'm finding that whilst I can successfully connect to the IMAP server using Mutt, it can't display a mail index and a quick peek at the logs shows the IMAP process falling over: (account and server IP replaced) Jun 6 10:39:27 xen dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) Jun 6 10:39:27 xen dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to localhost (mail) Jun 6 10:39:34 xen dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<example(a)example.org>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, TLS Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 264 (view_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): Raw backtrace: imap() [0x80f0e1e] -> imap() [0x80f0e82] -> imap() [0x80f0809] -> imap() [0x80ceb17] -> imap(mail_index_lookup_seq+0x26) [0x80ce5f6] -> imap() [0x80c481d] -> imap(mail_index_modseq_hdr_update+0x2e) [0x80c48ee] -> imap(mail_index_sync_ext_hdr_update+0xbb) [0x80de91b] -> imap(mail_index_sync_record+0x40f) [0x80cd57f] -> imap(mail_index_sync_map+0x2dd) [0x80cdfed] -> imap(mail_index_map+0x5c7) [0x80c3557] -> imap() [0x80bfd87] -> imap(mail_index_open+0x23f) [0x80c01ff] -> imap(index_storage_mailbox_open+0x71) [0x80abc81] -> imap(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x188) [0x8086c18] -> imap(mailbox_sync+0x31) [0x80b59d1] -> imap(imap_status_get+0x8a) [0x806f0ea] -> imap(cmd_status+0x123) [0x8065dd3] -> imap() [0x8067b5c] -> imap() [0x8067c32] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x175) [0x8067eb5] -> imap(client_input+0x5f) [0x80686ef] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xd6) [0x80f9aa6] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x20) [0x80f8f20] -> imap(main+0x5b4) [0x8070f24] -> /lib/i Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): 76] -> imap() [0x80603a1] Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: dovecot: child 20617 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) I've not been able to find any mentions of this error occurring for other people. I've not looked at the source to see what the server is trying to do at this point. Restarting the IMAP service doesn't help. Any suggestions or advice?
