[Dovecot] enabling IMAP SORT and THREAD extensions
by Colin Brace 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi all, The home page of the Dovecot website indicates: "Supports multiple commonly used IMAP extensions, including SORT, THREAD and IDLE." However, I cannot find instructions in the Wiki for how to enable these extensions. Can someone tell me how to do this? I will add this info to the Wiki myself if need be. Thanks. ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/enabling-IMAP-SORT-and--THREAD-extensions-tp27673898p… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dovecot blog
by Timo Sirainen 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

http://blog.dovecot.org/ I was thinking that I could blog about: - ideas for new Dovecot feature designs - when I actually manage to implement some new great feature - maybe some stuff about IMAP/email in general - and maybe whenever I happen to be moving to a different country I wasn't really planning on announcing new releases there. Dovecot feature designs are also sent to Dovecot mailing list, as before. But there have been other things I've thought about mentioning somewhere, but Dovecot ML didn't really seem like the right place. I doubt I'll update the blog very often. But that probably makes it even more useful, since casual readers find the useful stuff quickly. :)

[Dovecot] Virtual POP3 Inbox question
by Josephus 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi, I'm having trouble implementing the virtual pop3 inbox solution in Dovecot 1.2.x. As the following wiki page describes (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual) one should only set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace which then flattens all mailboxes in the realmails/ prefix. In the above example when I set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace, the inbox in the realmails/ prefix gets left out for obvious reasons. How did the original author intend this to work? Regards, Jos

[Dovecot] Dovecot design-question
by Werner 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi everybody, we're currently in the process of drafting our new mailserver-setup. Instead of a single-server-setup we'd like to have two equal servers behind a loadbalancer like LVS and shared mailhomes on NFS. We'd like to use dovecot for POP/IMAP, dovecot-deliver as LDA. - It's probably the best idea to direct SMTP and POP/IMAP always to the same server behind the loadbalancer (because dovecot-deliver is used which updates indexes?) - If we think of a "active/passive" setup: dovecot index-files locally or on the nfs-share? - Is it possible to activate loadbalancing for SMTP in this environment if dovecot index-files are held locally on each machine (POP/IMAP is directed only to one of the two servers?) Any comments welcome :-) Werner

[Dovecot] exporting client socket to postfix
by zhong ming wu 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Dear List, I have a few questions regarding dovecot sasl authentication that are somewhat related to each other. I have a working dovecot config with ---------- ssl_verify_client_cert = yes .. . ssl_require_client_cert = yes ssl_username_from_cert = yes --------------- (With this set up I need not set a correct user name in my mail client so long as I have it correctly in cert.) It turns out that I cannot export client socket to postfix to do smtp authentication unless I comment out ssl_require_client_cert=yes Does it mean that postfix is not passing to dovecot any information about certificate? Is passing certificate information not part of sasl framework? If so I won't be able to use it with a different sasl implementation. Also if I comment out ssl_require_client_cert=yes, then I can no longer use username from cert to log in to retrieve my pop mail. I prefer to get username this way otherwise my thunderbird mailbox reads user@domain.org@domain.org; I could have more than one domain in my dovecot servers. Thanks mr.wu

[Dovecot] passing parameters to deliver
by kjonca＠wp.pl 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Is any posibility to pass parameters/environment variables to deliver with sieve plugin? I have some procmail rules to decide where mail should go, which can't be migrated to sieve (uses external programs). So far I write it to maildirs, but I wonder to migrate to mdbox, and procmail can't handle it. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Feature request? Make deliver quota inclusive!
by Joachim Boltz 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

hi all, I'd like to make deliver put mail into a nearly full mailbox even when they become overquota as a result. The same problem came up a few weeks ago: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/045695.html Since no solution was offered may I suggest this topic as an additional feature for future releases? ;-) This is a important for me because sometimes users are lazy. They think "oh, still 10% left, no reason to delete mail" while in the meantime large messages are already bounced, while some small ones arrive in the users inbox. cheers, achim

[Dovecot] Client behaviour with sieve
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I have a working dovecot imap-server, with sieve. I find it odd that my mail-clients (Thunderbird 2 and 3) don't report anything that's new in the folders. What I mean is this : Postfix get's a mail and hands it over to dovecot's LDA and sieve moves it to a folder. When I log in with Thunderbird, I see new messages in my Inbox. But that message that was moved to a folder is "invisible" until I click on the folder. Then Thunderbird sees there are new messages in that folder and reports the number of new messages and makes the foldername bold. Is this the expected behaviour ? Or did I configure something wrong ? Thanks for any clarification. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

[Dovecot] wish now I'd not upgraded...
by Stan Hoeppner 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Upgraded from Debian Dovecot 1.0.15 to Debian Dovecot 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. I use Postfix local delivery to and Dovecot mbox. As per upgrade directions, I stopped dovecot processes and deleted all dovecot.index.cache files in /home/%user/mail/.imap. Performed upgrade to 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. Modified new dovecot.conf for my environment. Started dovecot. Problem: Instantly noticed in TB 3.0.1 Win32 that all emails in all folders were marked as unread. Stopped TB, stopped dovecot, deleted *all* files in /home/%user/mail/imap/ so indexes and caches could be rebuilt from scratch. Started dovecot, started TB. Same problem. Then I got ugly, stopped TB and dovecot, deleted all ~.imap/ files *and* deleted *all* TB cache and index files with a time stamp of today. Restarted dovecot, restarted TB. Same damn problem. I sit hit right clicking folder after folder and selecting "mark as read", only to see all the emails in the folder go "read" and then within seconds go back to marked as unread (bold). Opening messages one at a time and moving to the next doesn't even keep them marked as read. WTF is going on? Why won't they stay marked as read? I've got over 25,000 emails in these folders and I get a few hundred list mails a day. I really need to get this read/unread business straightened out. What the heck am I missing? Is this a bug in the Debian backport? Good thing I have no hair or I'd have pulled half of it out by now... -- Stan
