[Dovecot] Dovecot Setup as just a local IMAP server.
by David Terei 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and hence OS and Computer) I just set up my mail client to access Dovecot and then I'm done. So I am trying to set up an IMAP server to store my emails instead of just storing them on my local hard disk really. Now so far Ive set up Dovecot and Its working fine, but How would I get my email accounts mail to be placed in the Inbox of my IMAP account? I'm think I would need to use either fetchmail or getmail to grab my mail. After that do these programs just save it in the appropriate IMAP folder on disk (which would be new?) or do I need a MTA such as qmail setup and fetchmail or getmail passes the email to the MTA which just transfers it locally on the same computer? So any help would be greatly appreciated as well as advice on which software to use, the getmail site attacks fetchmail quite strongly, but I'm not sure of its performance being written in Python as I'm running on an old Pentium MMX(100MHz) using OpenBSD 3.7. Sorry for the long email I never can seem to keep them short :) Cheers, David Terei

[Dovecot] extra characters after mailbox names
by Paul 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

After installing alpha3, when I view a list of my IMAP mailboxes in Pine 4.64 on Linux, several of the mailbox names are followed by odd characters: ., ~, and _. So the list of mailboxes looks like: INBOX saved_ sent-mail~ Biz Service. Home_ and so forth. The distribution of the characters remains the same throughout the Pine session, but is different every time I restart Pine. It doesn't happen in Pine 4.63 or any other client, but I associate it with Dovecot rather than Pine because it started exactly when I upgraded Dovecot today, rather than five days ago when I upgraded Pine.

[Dovecot] I need to enable percent hack in dovecot logins
by Eero Volotinen 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I am using dovecot with vpopmail and qmail and problems is percent hack that works with qmail-pop3d does not work with dovecot. So login works like that: firstname.lastname%domain.ext I need that function to work with dovecot too, and I am using stable 0.99.x series of dovecot. Problem is that some Apple machines client can't use at-symbol in their login names. So, where I need to hack sources to convert % -> @ to get login working. By default percent-hack does not work with dovecot. Any help? Thanks. -- Eero
