Have you configured Dovecot deliver as your MDA? See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA N.

Re: [Dovecot] How can I configure dovecot as gmail imap proxy
by Supratik Goswami 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Here the proxy server should authenticate the user. If the user is in the list of authenticated users then dovecot will allow to connect to imap.gmail.com. Consider a scenario where a client tries to read his mailbox from imap.gmail.com:993. Client executes the command "mutt -f imaps://imap.gmail.com", the request is first authenticated at the proxy server. If the request is coming from a valid user, dovecot will allow to connect to imap.gmail.com and fetch mails for that user. Can you please help me with the steps to configure the server. Warm Regards Supratik

[Dovecot] LDA and POP3/IMAP user_query
by Michael 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

How do I get IMAP+POP3 vs. LDA to use different user_query statements? The problem is that the input fields are different. IMAP/POP3 is an email address LDA is a username I have written a long statement to try and cater for both however it still only works 99% of the time, and the remaining 1% fails. The 1% that fails sees the mail being delivered to the wrong mbox. In this particular case the same client owned both mboxes so it was ok, but if this had not been the case things could have gotten real embarrassing. Think of the following: abcwidgets(a)theirdomain.tld mailuser1 mailuser1(a)adomain.tld mailuser2 Now when using the Postfix LDA, email for each address is properly delivered to the specified mbox, however in this case because their is a matching name for the mbox and the email address lefthand content, the compound SQL query returns both results and the LDA will use the first one, which in this case was the wrong one. This is the query used: user_query = \ SELECT mailboxes.username AS user, mailboxes.uid, mailboxes.gid, \ concat('*:storage=',mailquota,'M') AS quota_rule \ FROM mailboxes JOIN accounts ON accounts.username = mailboxes.username \ WHERE ((mailboxes.username = '%n' AND accounts.active='1') || \ (mailboxes.email = '%u' AND mailboxes.active='1' AND accounts.active='1') || \ (mailboxes.email = CONCAT('@','%d') AND mailboxes.active='1' \ AND (SELECT COUNT(email) FROM mailboxes WHERE email='%u') = '0')) which additionally caters for the few catch alls our users have. I think this is a massive oversight in the design of Dovecot to use one query to for 2 separate and distinct processes, that both use different parameters. From what I can tell it seems to assume that a mail system will always use username@domain addresses, and never anything more arbitrary. Has anyone found a way around this? Michael

[Dovecot] shared namespaces with common prefix prefix
by Frank Cusack 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Can shared/public namespaces' prefixes have a common prefix? :) namespace public { separator = / prefix = zz/shared/ location = maildir:/var/maildir/shared:INDEX=/var/maildir/%n/shared subscriptions = no } # to share other employees mailboxes (term'd or admin access) namespace shared { separator = / prefix = zz/shared/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/maildir/%%n:INDEX=/var/maildir/users/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Since I added the shared namespace, I can no longer access the public namespace. The folders show up but then trying to access one gets the error that the mailbox doesn't exist. If they can't have a common part of the prefix, is that an IMAP limitation or could dovecot conceivably handle it? -frank

[Dovecot] Log the virtual email address and not the local account - dovecot 1.2.2 w/ MySQL
by Bill 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

I recently started using dovecot and have it working well but I have one item I haven't been able to find an answer for. I am using MySQL with Dovecot for authentication with my virtual email customers. When the user logs in and checks email a log entry is recorded. Instead of the email address (bob(a)bob.net) being logged it records the local account (vemail101) in the POP3 log. How can I get dovecot to reflect the email address that the customer logged in with instead of the local account? Thx, Bill

[Dovecot] fts squat non-english search for 2 words
by vuser1＠test123.ru 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hello, It looks I encoutered a bug or misconfiguration. fts_squat search for subject and body works excellent for English mails. For non-English (in particular, Russian) it works only when query consists of 1 word. Phrases - 2 and more words - always returns nothing. Example: search for "planet" ("планета") returns results, search for "Earth" ("Земля") also returns results, but "planet Earth" ("планета Земля") returns nothing. But there are emails having exact phrase "planet Earth". This problem occurs only for non-English queries, both for search in subject and in email body. I tried web-mail Horde 3.2 and Thunderbird. I turned fts plugin off and it correctly finds phrases with 2 and more russian words! So problem is squat. Is it a bug or known config issue?

[Dovecot] virtual namespace question
by Josephus 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to create a virtual namespace on a prefix other than "virtual/". My goal is to mix IMAP folders with virtual folders on the same folder level (prefix = ""). mail_location = maildir:/data/mail/%d/%u/ # Virtual namespace private { prefix = separator = / location = virtual:/data/mail/%d/%u/virtual } # Default namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } With this configuration the folders show up on the same level, but I'm unable to subscribe to them. When I change the prefix back to "virtual/" it works, but folders are still gruoped under "virtual". Funny thing is, when I use a prefix something like "vfolder/", the root folder is no longer greyed out in my MUA (TB3), and I get a "Mailbox doesn't exist: vfolder" error msg if I click on it. BR, Jos
