[Dovecot] Delete message
by Marius Stan 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Hello, I'm seeing that our favourite pop3 server only deletes the messages upon logoff: dele 1 +OK Marked to be deleted. quit +OK Logging out, messages deleted. Connection closed by foreign host. This is causing me some trouble with a certain webmail app. Is there a way I can instruct Dovecot to immediatelly delete a message ? 10x, Marius

[Dovecot] proxy plugin
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

I've updated the proxy plugin at http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota.c. It doesn't exactly work, even against latest CVS Dovecot as it crashes in save/copy, but it shows how it's basically going to work. Pretty ugly to do objects with C, but works.. If you're interested about writing support for some specific quota backend (maildir++, sql, ..), now would be a good time to begin :) Well, the reason it crashes is because it needs to find out the message's size, but Dovecot doesn't yet really like being asked about messages that haven't been committed to index. I guess that needs to change, hopefully won't require too large changes. I think I'm going to merge mail-index-view and mail-index-transaction into same thing..

[Dovecot] The Status: header is forced
by Olivier Tharan 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi, I started testing dovecot for our next POP/IMAP server (nearing production state), and noticed that the Status: header is always added, with a value of 'O' or 'RO'. This happens in `lib-index/mbox/mbox-rewrite.c'. This does not seem to happen in the Maildir case. Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'. My dovecot is 0.99.10.4 (FreeBSD port), but the behavior is still the same in the CVS version. -- olive

[Dovecot] 0.99.10.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

One more bugfix since rc2: - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely Quite rare because we were lucky before :) And list of all the changes one more time: v0.99.10.5 2003-12-27 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer + --with-moduledir configure option - mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags - mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug. - Custom flags couldn't be unset - Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails from new/ to cur/. - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely - Maildir: RENAME xx inbox.xx didn't result as uppercased ".INBOX.xx" directory which then couldn't be accessed - Don't crash with RAND_bytes() error messages anymore. This mostly happened with Fedora/RedHat.

[Dovecot] 1.0-test17
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Just mbox fixes since 1.0-test16. The logic is simpler and more correct now. Can anyone break it anymore? I actually tested it a while with Evolution and several mailboxes and it didn't break at least immediately. :) Now maybe a few more days and I dare trying this thing myself with my real mboxes (yes, I'm still using them). Dovecot mailing list archives could soon be served with 1.0-tests too, as soon as I get support for read-only mboxes working again (storing and comparing MD5 summed headers).

[Dovecot] 1.0-test18
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Again mostly just mbox fixes. The good thing is that the code is only getting cleaner and more understandable with every release. But I think it's clean enough now that this release should work :) It also has checkpassword passdb support. Supporting it as userdb isn't yet implemented. I think I'll make some generic caching thingy, so that if passdb is same as userdb, they both could be queried from database in one query. Probably by allowing pass_query/pass_filter to return them.
