[Dovecot] PC-Pine "Junk in end of group"
by Paul Adams 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

I am running PC-Pine under Windows XP, connecting via SSL to a Dovecot IMAP server (0.99.10-2 under Debian woody). When I open a mail folder (mbox format) in Pine I get the following non-fatal error: [Junk in end of group: pn=undisclosed-recipients al= dn=] A similar error was reported to comp.mail.pine as happening with a Lotus Domino server. Mark Crispin explained it as a server-side bug: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=… Is this something that can be easily fixed? Paul

[Dovecot] dovecot IMAP misserving problem?
by Warren Togami 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

http://togami.com/~warren/archive/2003/evolution-1.4.4-crash.mbox I suspect that dovecot-0.99.10 is misserving this message in some way that is confusing some IMAP clients. This behavior causes evolution-1.4.4 to segfault, and squirrelmail-1.4.1 to be unable to read the message. The same message served by uw-imapd works works fine in both evolution and squirrelmail. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104288 Red Hat Bugzilla dovecot report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104289 Red Hat Bugzilla evolution segfault report http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48418 Ximian evolution segfault report

[Dovecot] feature request: maildirquota
by Eero Volotinen 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Hope maildirquota++ is soon supported, without it, dovecot is useless in my use (mail hosting with maildirquotas). Also QUOTA cabability in dovecot is needed to get to use my webmail plugins that use a001 CAPABILITY to get quota support. Courier imapd supports this. --snippet from quota usage plugin to squirrelmail-- function sqimap_get_quota ($imap_stream, $mailbox) { if (check_quota_capability($imap_stream, "QUOTA")) { fputs ($imap_stream, "a001 GETQUOTAROOT \"$mailbox\"\r\n"); $read_ary = sqimap_read_data ($imap_stream, 'a001', true, $result, $message); for ($i = 0; $i < count($read_ary); $i++) { if (ereg("STORAGE", $read_ary[$i])) { $tempusage = ereg_replace("^.*[(]STORAGE +(.*)[)].*$", "\\1", $read_ary[$i]); $usagearray = explode(" ", $tempusage); return $usagearray[0].":".$usagearray[1]; } } } return "NOQUOTA"; } function check_quota_capability($imap_stream, $capability) { global $imap_general_debug; fputs ($imap_stream, "a001 CAPABILITY\r\n"); $read_ary = sqimap_read_data($imap_stream, 'a001', true, $a, $b); for($i = 0; $i < count($read_ary); $i++) { if (ereg("QUOTA", $read_ary[$i])) return TRUE; } return false; } -- end snippet-- -- Eero

I thought I'd write a small guide to what Dovecot's "secure coding techniques" are and how you'd use them: http://dovecot.fi/doc/securecoding.txt

[Dovecot] convert wu-imap Maildir format to dovecot
by Alin Osan 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Hello, I intend to migrate a mail server with Maildir from wu-imap to dovecot imap. Using horde/IMP, users can not access their imap forders, as wu-imap created Mail directory that holds all created folders. Dovecot could not detect the mail directory so I had to put default_mail_env = ~/Maildir in dovecot.conf. Before I begin to read the source-code of dovecot or try to migrate the the mailboxes using a shell script, is there any way I can make dovecot read the wu-imap folders format? Please suggest any solution that you find viable. Thank you. -- -- We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. -- Alin Osan
