[Dovecot] Quota Display with Horde and LDAP
by Raja T Nair 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Hi All, I am using dovecot-1.0.rc15 wth LDAP authentication configured. My webmail is Horde/IMP. While logging in, Horde gives `Unable to retrieve quota' message, instead of the usage report. capability string is: OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. There is no QUOTA shown as part of capability, whereas courier-imap used to show it. I have uncommented the quota = maildir line in dovecot.conf. Do I need to do something extra to enable quota query from LDAP and proper reporting? regards, raja. -- +91 944 715 5548(Cell)

[Dovecot] Pre-rev1 compatibility
by Hans Werner Strube 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

What about adding some compatibility for pre-rev1 IMAP4 clients which are still around (e.g., CDE dtmail, even in Solaris 10)? Especially, the understanding of command FETCH message (... RFC822.HEADER.LINES (parameters)) instead of FETCH message (... BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (parameters)]) (with correspondingly changed replies) would be desirable and shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

[Dovecot] quota question
by Kenny Dail 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

I'm afraid I'm being a little confused by the whole quota setup with dovecot. I see references to quotas about, but I'm not certain how many of them apply to 1.0rc15. I currently have the conf setup as indicated on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota So, in my setup, I'm using Postfix, Maildrop and Dovecot. Mailstore is on NFS. Dovecot is handling the pop3 and imap connects. There seems to be some trouble in the quotas because Courier counts quota one way and Dovecot in a different way. Quotas are stored on a per user basis in the MySQL DB. The trouble I'm getting is that very frequently the quota being reported is quite different from reality. This leads to erroneous over quota delivery errors. So what is necessary to make sure the quotas work as they are supposed to in my environment? Once again thank you very much for your help. -- Kenny Dail <kend(a)amigo.net>

[Dovecot] Quota's KB or MB
by Richard Mayhew - Nashua Mobile Broadband Division 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi, Did dovecot ever implement quota's in MB's or has it always used quota's in KB's? I have RC15 using quota's in KB and beta8 somehow using quota's in MB's. Am I going mad? Regards Richard

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and Quota
by Richard Mayhew - Nashua Mobile Broadband Division 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Ok, I found my problem, I run a backend IMAP/POP3 Server (DoveCot) with a front end IMAP/POP3 Proxy Server (DoveCot). I found that the proxy server was not advertising the fact that it supported QUOTA's. Once I enabled mail_plugins with quota support for the 2 protocols it all worked. Is this correct for a proxy server config. I have included my config below for comments? ################################## base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no shutdown_clients = yes syslog_facility = mail ssl_disable = yes login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 5 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_connections = 256 login_greeting = POP3/IMAP Server Ready. protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } auth_cache_size = 16384 auth_cache_ttl = 1800 auth_verbose = no auth_debug = no auth_debug_passwords = no verbose_proctitle = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } userdb static { args = static uid=1000 gid=1000 home=/dev/null } user = root count = 1 } plugin { quota = maildir }

[Dovecot] checking during authentification if imap or pop3 connection
by wiki kaha 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello. I'd like to know if there is a way to differ between imap and pop3 during mysql-auth. I would need the possibility to allow some users imap and only allow pop3 to the rest. I think there could be a flag that'll be substituted in my auth query. Thanks for infos. Regards. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?

[Dovecot] maildir quotas, dovecot-lda
by Dean Manners 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hey guys, Running rc15, I have maildir quotas working with deliver - however I seem to be unable to get the maildir quota ignore option to work. Am trying to ignore a user wide directory "Maildir/Filtered/", where detected virii/spam gets sorted to. Does deliver take notice of the maildir ignore option ? Applicable line from dovecot-sql.conf: user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mailstore/',Domain,'/',Partition,'/',Email,'/') AS home, CONCAT('maildir:/var/mailstore/',Domain,'/',Partition,'/',Email,'/') AS mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=10240:ignore=Filtered') AS quota FROM Mailbox WHERE Email = '%u' AND Status = '1' As a side note is there a configurable variable/template to set the "Your message was automatically rejected by Dovecot Mail Delivery Agent" messages. Or is customization only possible by modifying the source ? Regards __________________________________________ Dean Manners

[Dovecot] maildirsize update error
by Maykel Moya 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

According to [1], Trash is a reserverd folder name. When moving a message to it, maildirsize should be update with a negative byte count. If I move a message from any folder to Trash, maildirsize gets two lines, one positive and one negative. The problem is that a user can't move messages to Trash while being overquota because the positive entry goes before the negative. I'm using dovecot-1.0rc14. Regards maykel [1] http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html
