[Dovecot] dovecot and php imap_open
by Daniel 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hi I'm have problems with dovecot and the php imap_open function. Can't seem to get it to work. I just get a "Aborted login [127.0.0.1]" in the dovecot logs. The php error is: [client 192.168.1.254] PHP Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {127.0.0.1:110/pop3/notls/norsh/novalidate-cert}INBOX in /var/www/html/mail/auth.php on line 89, referer: [client 192.168.1.254] PHP Notice: (null)(): Can't open mailbox {127.0.0.1:110/pop3/notls/norsh/novalidate-cert}INBOX: invalid remote specification (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0, referer: Same type of error with ether imap or pop3. Anyone have a trick around this? Thanks for any help. Regards Daniel

Is this correct ? cmd_rset() if (mail_update_flags(mail, MAIL_SEEN, MODIFY_REMOVE) < 0) break; Args seems to be switched. /Jens ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 'This mail automatically becomes portable when carried.' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jens Låås Email: jens.laas(a)data.slu.se Department of Computer Services, SLU Phone: +46 18 67 35 15 Vindbrovägen 1 P.O.

When I move new mail to the inbox in the remote client, it moves the mail to $HOME/Mail, and creates cur/tmp/new/.customflags directly into that folder, instead of using .INBOX, which is the folder underneath that! Is it buffering some information/setting/mapping somewhere?

[Dovecot] (no subject)
by Brent Clark 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hi all I have just finished installing / configuring my dovecot IMAP server. Im seeing something weird happing. It seems my Winblows Outlook users are experiencing a problem whereby when they delete an email, Outlook puts a line though the email, but the mail does not delete. Im not sure if this is a an outlook problem or a dovecot IMAP problem. I cant see anything in the conf file to suggest that it is a IMAP problem. If anyone has any tips or advice, it would greatfully be appreciated. Kind Regards Brent Clark

[Dovecot] utime() failed: Value too large for defined data type
by Brian Hechinger 22 May '05

22 May '05

i have recently rebuilt dovecot on my mail server as i wanted to add SSL support for it. well, my OpenSSL libs are 64-bit, so what they hey, i'll build dovecot 64-bit as well. worked just fine, no issues at all. the setup is: Solaris 9/SPARC Sun C compiler Dovecot 0.99.14 after rebuilding it 64-bit, i now have a small problem however. I cannot save messages to IMAP folders from Mail.app on OSX 10.3.9. OE6 and mutt work fine, no problems there, but when I try to save a message from Mail.app, it tells me it couldn't save the message and i get the folloing in my log file on the mail server: May 19 16:24:37 wiggum.4amlunch.net imap(paula): [ID 702911 mail.error] utime() failed for /usr/home/paula/Maildir/.Sent Items/tmp/1116534277.P10885Q0M105223.wiggum.4amlunch.net: Value too large for defined data type does anyone have any clue as to what could be the cause of this? i would say simple 64-bit uncleanliness issue, but why doesn't it also affect OE6 or mutt? there is some way that Mail.app accesses IMAP that is specifically tickling this problem. thank you very much for your time, and if there is any other information you might need to track this down, please ask and i'll get it right away. -brian -- "I fear death only slightly more than I hate my life." --8-bit Theater

[Dovecot] dovecot deliver question
by Reuben Farrelly 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi Timo, How much of the code base is shared between dovecot-lda and the dovecot CVS? I'm asking because when I tried out 'deliver' a few weeks ago I was seeing all sorts of nasty index corruption errors in the logs...and obviously lots of fixes have gone into core dovecot (but haven't seen many go into dovecot-lda) Reuben

[Dovecot] Dovecot-stable rpms
by Topher Fischer 17 May '05

17 May '05

I've been searching, and I can't find any rpms of dovecot stable for RHEL 4. Does anybody know where I can get one? Ever since we went from IMAP-UW to Dovecot, we've been having frequent problems with mbox corruption, and I've read that 1.0 fixes many of those types of problems. Has anybody else found an rpm for RHEL 4 of any Dovecot greater than 1.0? -- Topher Fischer System Administrator - TMCB 1140 GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 javert42(a)cs.byu.edu

[Dovecot] Corrupted transaction log file, dotlocks..?
by John and Catherine Allen 16 May '05

16 May '05

I'm new to Dovecot but I've been able to get it up and running on a test basis without too much difficulty. I'm running dovecot-stable-20050508 with maildir, under Linux (an old Gentoo setup that's been stable for about 2,5 years). Mail client is Thunderbird. However, in the course of experimentally copying the accumulated household email (95000 emails from the last 10 years) from the existing IMAP server (UW-IMAP) using imapsync, I'm seeing some problems. While copying the 1000 or so messages from the main INBOX, Dovecot seems to hang after 50-100 messages and the following lines appear in the server log: May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): utime(/home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: No such file or directory May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Our dotlock file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was deleted May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Corrupted transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: Append with UID 1827, but next_uid = 1828 May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Lost transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 4 May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Lost transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 4 May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Corrupted transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: Append with UID 1827, but next_uid = 1828 May 15 18:45:21 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Lost transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 4 [...20 identical lines deleted....] May 15 18:48:27 [dovecot] imap-login: Login: allen [192.168.0.1] May 15 18:48:57 [dovecot] imap-login: Login: allen [192.168.0.1] May 15 18:48:57 [dovecot] IMAP(allen): Transaction log file /home/allen/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted I can restart after deleting the dovecot files in ~/Maildir, but the problem recurs. In other folders I've been able to copy large numbers of emails successfully with imapsync. I've not experienced any problems while accessing the folders with Thunderbird. I can't relate these log messages to anything in the configuration file or the documentation, so I'm wondering if I can ask for help?
