[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2.8 to 2.0.6: INBOX not selectable in Thubderbird (greyed and italic)
by Michele Bergonzoni 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

I recently upgraded from 1.2.8 to 2.0.6, I am using Maildir, and Thunderbird is showing the INBOX grayed out and in italics, and does not show new messages in it (it shows messages previously downloaded). This occurs when Thunderbird is restarted (if I upgrade dovecot, TB keeps working fine until I shut it down, and at next startup it greys out the inbox). All the subfolders of INBOX work fine. Accessing with horde+imp webmail works fine. I'm using TB 3.1.6 After some traffic capturing, The first difference I see in the IMAP exchange is the answer to 6 list "" "INBOX" Which for 1.2.8 is: LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" and for 2.0.6 is: LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX" Of course for the same user and same maildir. I enabled tb-extra-mailbox-sep in 2.0, but it doesn't appear to differ (I don't really think it should). Any help will be very much appreciated. My 1.2.8 config for the namespaces is: namespace private { prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir } namespace public { prefix = shared. location = maildir:/usr/local/shared list = yes subscriptions = no } And the config for 2.0.6 is the same with new syntax: namespace { type = private prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir } namespace { type = public prefix = shared. location = maildir:/usr/local/shared list = yes subscriptions = no } Regards, Michele Bergonzoni

[Dovecot] Can you POP a specific folder in Dovecot?
by Peter Reinhold 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Hi all, I am in the middle of migrating from an old, Windows based mailserver, and have run into a small challenge I hope someone here can help me with. In my old setup, a user could have folders on the server, and by using his login with the mailbox appended, could pop a given folder specifically. For instance, logging in with user(a)example.com would pop INBOX, and logging in with user-folder(a)example.com would pop just that specific folder. Is it possible to do something like this in Dovecot, or is the only possible way of popping folders by using the virtual plugin?

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole v0.2.1 for Dovecot v2.0.4
by Stephan Bosch 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Hello Dovecot users, There haven't been that many Pigeonhole developments lately, not even really significant bugs were reported. That is why this release is pretty small in terms of changes. However, one issue got some attention: the fact that not recompiling Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.0.3 would result in rather interesting message delivery. Normally, Dovecot would complain about a version mismatch, but unfortunately Pigeonhole's Sieve plugin didn't record the Dovecot version it was compiled with. Starting with this release, such problems should not occur again. Changelog v0.2.1: + Incorporated distinction between original and final envelope recipient in Sieve interpreter, as recently introduced in Dovecot. + Regex extension: added support for regex keys composed from variables. - LDA Sieve plugin: added _version symbol to enable Dovecot's plugin version check. Without this check, people can forget to recompile the plugin, which can lead to unexpected effects. - LDA Sieve plugin: turned debug message about an unconfigured home directory into a proper error and added script path information. - Fixed unnecessary reporting of dummy extensions in ManageSieve SIEVE capability; the comparator-i;octet and comparator-i;ascii-numeric 'extensions' were reported explicitly. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.1.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.1.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.0 wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

[Dovecot] problem with virtual plugin/index files?
by Lutz Preßler 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Hello, with latest 2.0.6 (601065674f74), the following virtual mailbox is not behaving correctly. I'm quite sure that the problem has not existed in some earlier 2.0.x (maybe only INBOX as mailbox then though): ~user/Maildir/virtual/.week/dovecot-virtual contains INBOX INBOX.* -INBOX.Trash inthread refs younger 604800 This works as expected for the first time. But later on, also older messages/ threads are included until I delete the virtual/.week/dovecot.index*.

[Dovecot] dsync, separator, but really - Default Namespace
by Daniel L. Miller 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

Just made the leap from 1.2 to 2.0.6 - and several maddening config typos I think I have a working system again! Getting closer to converting from maildir to mdbox, but first... Trying to use dsync gives me: dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Ok - I 've never configured namespaces before...time to learn. So my first attempt - is the following config the same as having no explicit namespace declaration?: # My Default Namespace namespace { type = private separator = '.' prefix =. location = /var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Problem with quota and mdbox and quota warning
by Patrick Westenberg 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Hi again, I just recognized that my dovecot forgets the quota for a mailbox. This is what the maildirsize looks like: 1 read mail present, 1 new/unread mail 2097152S 0 0 909936 1 and later, with 2 read mails: 2097152S 0 0 There are no errors logged. Moreover, my quota warning script doesn´t work because dovecot doesn´t recognize my specified folder. I specified /usr/local/etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh but the log shows that dovecot looks somewhere else: Error: quota: connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/quota-warning) failed: Permission denied # 2.0.1: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.5 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;octet comparator-i;ascii-casemap fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+50M quota_warning = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning2 = storage=75%% quota-warning 75 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_global_path = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } protocols = lmtp imap sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { service_count = 1 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh user = vmail } ssl = no userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota }

[Dovecot] migration 1.1.7 to 2.0.6
by Brian D 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

I'm thinking of migrating from 1.1.7 (default RPM on SUSE 11.1) to 2.0.6 compiled from source using the default locations. Any Gotchas to expect that are different to an upgrade from 1.2? Any hints from moving from RPM to compiling from source and retaining the default configuration under /usr/local?

[Dovecot] Can quota_rule be inherited by child mailboxes?
by ian+dovecot＠comtek.co.uk 28 Oct '10

28 Oct '10

Is there a way to make quota_rule apply to subfolders? I've got some symlinked mailboxes which I want to exclude from quotas. This would work, but is verbose: quota_rule6 = USERS.aaa:ignore quota_rule7 = USERS.bbb:ignore ... quota_rule9999 = USERS.zzz:ignore But simply writing this: quota_rule7 = USERS:ignore doesn't apply to USERS.xxx and so on. The wiki says '*' isn't supported as a wildcard and frankly I'm struggling with the source code!
