doveadm sync issues (revised)
by Sven Strickroth 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hi, I'm experiencing serious issues using doveadm sync; mails are not replicating and/or mails are duplicating. I wanted to use this for migrating external mailboxes to my server (in order to overcome the time when some servers/clients still use the old server and some already my server, as described on <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync>). Finally I was able to reproduce this with the 2.3 branch (cf. <https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-April/115600.html>). I'm sorry that I can only test the version 2.3.4.1, but according to the changelog I think this is still an issue with the latest version. I tried to find a few steps in order to replicate this easily: For testing purposes I simulate both the remote and local server on my Dovecot instance. I created remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD and local(a)DOMAIN.TLD accounts and both use mdbox and are empty. First, send two mails to remote(a)DOMAIL.TLD (Subjects: Test1 and Test2). Start backup remote IMAP account (remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD) to local account (local(a)DOMAIN.TLD) $ doveadm -o imapc_user="remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD" -o imapc_password="PW" -o imapc_host="localhost" backup -R -u local(a)DOMAIN.TLD imapc: Both mailboxes are in sync now (containing Test1 und Test2). Now send two messages to remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD (Subjects Test3 and Test4) and two messages to local(a)DOMAIN.TLD (Subjects Test5 and Test6). Run sync: $ doveadm -o imapc_user="remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD" -o imapc_password="PW" -o imapc_host="localhost" sync -R -u local(a)DOMAIN.TLD imapc: See that syncing fails: remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD contains: Test1,2,3,4,5,6 (as expected) local(a)DOMAIN.TLD contains: Test1,2,5,6,4 (Test3 is missing here) When not using the "-R" parameter it seems to work. Running sync again: $ doveadm -o imapc_user="remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD" -o imapc_password="PW" -o imapc_host="localhost" sync -R -u local(a)DOMAIN.TLD imapc: causes messages to duplicate: remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD contains: Test1,2,6,5,4,3,5,6,4,6,5,4,3,5,6 local(a)DOMAIN.TLD contains: Test1,2,5,4,6,4,5,6 (3 is still missing) This is independent of the "-R" parameter. I could also experience this issue when using one-way sync, however, the first one-way sync is still ok, but then messages start duplicating as for the two-way sync without "-R": $ doveadm -o imapc_user="remote(a)DOMAIN.TLD" -o imapc_password="PW" -o imapc_host="localhost" sync -R -1 -u local(a)DOMAIN.TLD imapc: Hope you can replicate this, too, and finally fix the issue. -- Best regards, Sven Strickroth PGP key id F5A9D4C4 @ any key-server

Re: Dovecot does not recognize imported messages

I changed the user permissions, this is a must.

Dovecot not surviving OpenLDAP restart
by Dag Nygren 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi! Running Dovecot 2.2.36 and authenticating against an OpenLDAP 2.4.45 server. Now since some update of dovecot it will not be able to authenticate your logins after a restart of the LDAP service is restarted without a reboot of the dovecot server. Anything new here that I should be aware of? Best Regards Dag

dovecot dict protocol
by Peter Hudec 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi there is there any written specification for dovecot dict protocol instead of the code? Small example is in docs on https://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict and theere is link for all commands/reply in the code https://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict I’m writing small dict server and need some explanation for CMD: I, what does the flags means and how should the result looks like CMD: D, I thing this is the same as C, but coud be done later /async/ The reply codes are not very clear. I understand O, N, F. The rest is strange to me. Maybe this is good question do devel mailing list. regards Peter

UID to file?
by Carles Pina i Estany 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hello, In the past I was in a situation that given an email UID I wanted to know which file in the Maildir directory this UID was saved. I did a small parser for $HOME/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist where, if the file had: 1000 W1838 S1796 :1557351041.10447_1.example I would ask for the UID 1000 and would return :1557351041.10447_1.example (and I knew that it was in $HOME/Maildir/new) Is there any other way using dovecot tools to do the same, to avoid parsing an internal dovecot file? Thank you! -- Carles Pina i Estany GPG Key 0x8CD5C157

Push Notification clarification (MessageNew w/o LMTP or LDA)
by Christian Balzer 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hello, Both the examples on the Push Notification wiki page and the XAPS plugin docs seem to suggest or state that LMTP/LDA is required. However IMAP IDLE notifications work without either of these (please no religious discussion of why Dovecot LMTP is the best thing since sliced bread and that everybody should use it). The LUA part of the push notification docs however states that events other than MessageNew are supported. So my question is, when not using LMTP/LDA and a LUA script and of course the correct mail_plugins definition (either global or for IMAP), will a message delivery trigger MessageNew?

How to auto-subscribe to virtual namespace/prefix?
by MRob 09 May '19

09 May '19

In virtual namespace I can have: namespace myvirt { location = blah prefix=Virtual/ separator=/ mailbox "My folder" { auto = subscribe } } And i see email clients successful display subscribed "My folder" but the top-level prefix "Virtual/" is not subscribed. I see the Virtual/ prefix available as a noselect folder in the list of unsubscribed folders and if I manual subscribe to it, folder tree display is perfect. So how can i also make auto-subscription to the "Virtual/" prefix noselect folder?
