[Dovecot] Get the size of a maildir
by Nicolas Letellier 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hello. I would like to know it a 'proper' solution exist to get the size (in MB) of a maildir. Actually, to get it, I do a 'du -sh' but I'm not sure it is a good solution. And it does not return the same value than imap-quota. Is there a command, a tool, in Dovecot to get it? There is the maildirsize but it's very difficult to get the value with a script shell and with this file. Thanks for your help. Best regards, -- - Nicolas.

by JOHN ROMAN 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

i have a dovecot setup that uses an nfs backend to store maildir data. i want to enforce fs quotas, but whenever theyre selected and i attempt to query them from thunderbird...this appears in the log quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, /.amd_mnt/crock/vol/v_user1/jdoe) failed: Operation not supported i also occasionally see this. dovecot: statfs(/users/jdoe/Maildir) failed: Permission denied i can manually query quotas from a terminal on the mail system though.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD port for 1.1, some bits more...
by Geoffroy DESVERNAY 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

I did (re-)compile dovecot (1.1rc8) today, with managesieve (0.10.2) and sieve-plugin (1.1.5). I did modify the existing dovecot-devel port, adding managesieve patch as an OPTION, and I added a 'dovecot-managesieve-devel' port, and a 'dovecot-sieve-devel' one to be complete... Not sure everything is very complete, but at least it works for me=E2=84=A2= , and if it can help anybody to save some time... The tree ports are there: http://dgeo.perso.ec-marseille.fr/dovecot Not sure I used the very good way of building FreeBSD ports...

[Dovecot] Re maintenance of the dovecot-uidlist files
by Dann Daggett 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Greetings all, I am new to dovecot, using ver 1.0.13 and IMAP with ~/Maildir delivery. I have noticed that the entries in the dovecot-uidlist files don't seem to get updated when an email is deleted or moved to .Trash. It appears that this list list would just keep growing over time, being full of no longer used filenames, and must tend to increase its processing overhead. I have also noticed that if I manually delete that file and the 3 other dovecot* files, that it gets rebuilt with only what's present. Is there provision in the dovecot code to automatically clean this up periodically? If so, are there any configuration params for it? If not, what is the preferred method for maintenance in this regard? Thank you, Dan

[Dovecot] Error using antispam plugin
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi When activating antispam plugin in imap protocol, when sending an email, Evolution/Thunderbirdkeeps infinitely "Sending authentication information", and Dovecor logs shows "dovecot: May 28 10:14:35 Error: child 6910 (imap) killed with signal 11"; lots of empty folders in /tmp are created with names like "antispam-mail-ZvyWeZ". I am using Dovecot1.1 rc15 compiled from Debian source repositories (http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/) and last version of antispam plugin, obtained with git. Any idea or help to debug? Thanks.
