[Dovecot] How to pull /var/mail mbox leftovers to Maildirs?
by Jeff Kowalczyk 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

I just got my preferred postfix+dovecot(-1.1.1) configuration working on Ubuntu 8.04 server. Users and Maildirs migrated, etc. I wasn't seeing inbound mail (in the email client) until I set: sudo postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' Which I hadn't needed in the previous server's main.cf I have a few hours worth of inbound mostly-spam in /var/mail/(username) during the time I was figuring this out. What command line tools could I use to pull those message from the mboxes to the Maildirs? Thanks.

Re: [Dovecot] litte problems upgrade from 1.0.x to 1.1.1

Hi, > These are created by the University of Washington's implementation of > an IMAP server. Notice the date is nearly 2 years ago. At some point, > it seems your site was running imap-uw. > > -- > Fred nope, i dont think so. i created completly new mailbox and mailed to it from extern. after deleting this mail using pop3-client same text was left in mbox but with current date. it must be dovecot related. we use dovecot from 1.0rc7 to 1.0.15 and never a case like this occured. also this machine had a lot of updates. now, by updating from 1.0.x (most 13) to 1.1.1 some users have this problem of retrieving ~1000 - ~2000 Mails with this internal message. The messages are from one to other moment in mbox, there is no delivering by postfix etc. this is completely new to me. Hmm.... If users asking i say it is a one time incident, but i do not really know... Thanks Andre

[Dovecot] v1.1.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.1.tar.gz.sig Hopefully this release lives a bit longer than v1.1.0. - Maildir: When migrating from v1.0 with old format dovecot-uidlist files, Dovecot may have appended lines to it using the new format and later broken with "UID larger than next_uid" error.

[Dovecot] LDAP Auth
by Proskurin Kirill 03 Jul '08

Hello all. Im trying to configure Dovecot to auth at LDAP. Main idea what login = email of user. At dovecot-ldap: hosts = 127.0.0.1 dn = cn=root,dc=ForexClub dnpass = secret tls = no debug_level = 1 auth_bind = no ldap_version = 3 base = dc=Virtual-Domains,dc=ForexClub deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = user_filter = (&(objectClass=mailUser)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=mailUser)(mail=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT And... all works fine. Im can connect and auth. But in logs with debug_level=1 im see this: As im think it is *not* good. As im understand he not found anythink. BUT it is auth and work...

[Dovecot] 1.1 namespaces and message corruption
by Kyle Wheeler 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hello, I've been trying out the new dovecot's namespace support, and I'm having some issues moving messages between namespaces. Specifically, when I move some messages from a Maildir-based namespace to an mbox-based namespace, the message gets corrupted: its contents are removed, and an entirely empty message is added to the destination mailbox. This is 100% repeatable (some messages just *cannot* be copied intact). I have two namespaces, set up like so: namespace private { # Default separator = . hidden = no inbox = yes prefix = location = maildir:%h/Maildir } namespace private { separator = . hidden = no prefix = "INBOX.ArchiveTest." location = mbox:%h/Maildir/Archive } All I do is tell my client (mutt) to copy a message from a folder in the maildir namespace into a folder in the mbox namespace. Does anyone know what might be going wrong or how I can even debug this? No error messages of any kind are showing up in the dovecot log file, and the mail_debug setting doesn't seem to give me any useful information. Message corruption of this sort worries me... ~Kyle -- To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men. -- Abraham Lincoln

Re: [Dovecot] Poor pop3 over nfs performance
by Mark Zealey 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

In case anyone else is experiencing this issue, using the following in a postlogin script is a reasonable workaround: if [[ ! -e "$HOME/.lastlogin_imap" && "$HOME/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache" -ot "$HOME/Maildir/new" && "$HOME/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist" -ot "$HOME/Maildir/new" ]]; then rm -f "$HOME/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache" fi (whenever a user logs in via imap we touch .lastlogin_imap, so we only kill the cache file if the user is pop3-only and both the cache and uidlist are older than the new directory).

[Dovecot] 'Book of IMAP' ?
by Bob Gustafson 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hi I am needing a bit more detail on IMAP protocol and setup possibilities (for an application in mind). I note that 'The Book of IMAP' has recently been published in English (May 08). It seems to be focused on Cyrus IMAP rather than Dovecot. Does anyone on the list have the book? Is the book's treatment of Cyrus IMAP much different from Dovecot? Thanks for any comments. Bob G
