Thunderbird, server side filtering (sieve) and new email not in "inbox"
by Jesus Cea 25 Dec '19

25 Dec '19

Migrating my extensive thunderbird filtering rules to sieve has the unfortunate effect that thunderbird doesn't realize that there is new email in other mailboxes beside "inbox". According to ancient documentation, <http://kb.mozillazine.org/How_do_I_check_for_new_messages_in_other_folders#…>, I could configure Thunderbird to check each mailbox periodically, but I have >500 mailboxes and I rather prefer the server to notify the client when new email is avaliable somewhere. Reading between lines in that document, looks like Thunderbird would support STATUS updates while in "IDLE". Is that the case?. Do you know how could I configure dovecot to provide that kind of information to thunderbird?. Maybe some extension? I am aware of "notify", but thunderbird is not "notify" compatible. I can write an IMAP4 proxy to "inject" replies to thunderbird side-fetched via "notify", but I need to know what thunderbird expect. Do you have any idea?. Thanks for your time and expertise. -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz

Is there a way to hide the top level virtual IMAP folder when using the virtual plugin?
by Robert L Mathews 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

I'm experimenting with the Virtual plugin to give users access to folders like "All Mail", "Recent" and so on, similar to Gmail. Something like this works properly: mail_location = maildir:~/ namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { prefix = INBOX.virtual. separator = . location = virtual:virtual list = children ignore_on_failure = yes } I can then create "virtual/All Mail/dovecot-virtual" and "virtual/Recent/dovecot-virtual" in the maildir directory, and it works. However, when accessed using IMAP, an IMAP folder named "virtual" shows in the folder hierarchy, with "All Mail" and "Recent" descended from "virtual". It looks like: INBOX Drafts Sent Trash virtual All Mail Recent I'd prefer the virtual folders to be a level up the hierarchy without the "virtual" parent visible, like: INBOX All Mail Drafts Recent Sent Trash Is that possible? I've tried changing the "prefix = INBOX.virtual." on the virtual namespace to just "prefix = INBOX.", but that causes a "Duplicate namespace prefix" error. I also tried using "alias_for" to merge the namespaces, but that causes "namespace configuration error: Namespace virtual. can't have alias_for=INBOX. to a different storage type (virtual vs maildir)". -- Robert L Mathews

When is a new mail not unseen?
by Philip Colmer 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

I'm trying to diagnose a really strange situation where certain emails, when submitted to the mailbox by Postfix, are not considered to be unseen by Dovecot. During testing, I've shut down anything else on the server that might want to access the mailbox. I submit the email to the local postfix instance which then says it has delivered it to the mailbox: Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/smtpd[3283]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/smtpd[3283]: 5A0BF40261: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/cleanup[3286]: 5A0BF40261: message-id=<20191223095135.5A0BF40261(a)servicedesk.linaro.org> Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/smtpd[3283]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=5 Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/qmgr[1660]: 5A0BF40261: from=< philip.colmer(a)linaro.org>, size=702, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/local[3287]: 5A0BF40261: to=<local-it-support@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0.06, delays=0.04/0.02/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Dec 23 09:51:35 ip-10-35-194-108 postfix/qmgr[1660]: 5A0BF40261: removed I then use this command to query the state of the mailbox: sudo doveadm mailbox status -u local-it-support all INBOX and get this response: INBOX messages=142 recent=0 uidnext=5596 uidvalidity=1455577845 unseen=0 highestmodseq=1163 vsize=11315688 guid=2a997739f55ac2560d180000e171d23e firstsaved=1577094051 What can be happening that means that Dovecot doesn't treat a newly delivered message as unseen?

Sieve vacation not getting enough headers "no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers"
by Marc Roos 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

I am getting these errors[1]. With fairly default setup where sendmail is delivering mail via lmtp. Adding these, do not seem to make a difference. Should I add something to the sendmail configuration? sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = no sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient = no [1] discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers

Trouble using reverse dsync backup (log in successful but almost nothing happens)

I am migrating an old dovecot 2.2.30 (macOS High SIerra, macO S Server) to a new server with dovecot 2.3.7 (macOS Mojave, macports).

Is it safe to mix dovecot import/backup/sync between dovecot versions 2.2.30.2 and 2.3.7.1?
by Gerben Wierda 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

I am migrating a server. The old one uses dovecot 2.2.30.2 and the new one 2.3.7.1. I don’t want to use any tool that might influence flags on messages. I am using Maildir format on both ends and I have a way to let one server access the data on the other (either using an rsync or a direct access). Could I set up a sync between both to create a smooth migration?

dovecot rejecting connects
by Roy 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

I am a newbie to dovecot but not postfix and centos I created a new VM with Centos 8 and installed dovecot and postfix. Postfix is working fine but dovecot rejects connections from anything but the local machine. Locally Trying 10.10.100.157... Connected to 10.10.100.157. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. Machine on same subnet. Windows, Linux, etc. Doesn't seem to matter telnet 10.10.100.157 143 Connecting To 10.10.100.157... Could not open connection to the host, on port 143: Connect failed I made sure the iptables are empty so it doesn't seem to be a firewall issue I put some LOG statements in the iptables and it showed the connect packet arriving and the response packet was ICMP type 3 code 13. Any ideas? Roy

unable to edit wiki 2, here's the edit:
by Steve Newcomb 19 Dec '19

In https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier , mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace { prefix = INBOX. separator = . inbox = yes } ... is wrong. Apparently it should be ... mail_location = maildir:~/INBOX ...which at least seemed to work, although (by that time?) I wound up re-downloading all mail. Steve Newcomb srn(a)coolheads.com (Unable to edit the wiki page... Mysterious question stood in the way, something like, "How do you prevent spam?" Evidently I don't know the correct answer.

slow logins over login_trusted_network
by Wojciech Puchar 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

i've upgraded dovecot on my server to 2.3.9 works properly but saslauthd that uses it for rimap authentication over 127.0.0.1 works SLOW. You need to wait 15-20 seconds before authentication. only imap login over 127.0.0.1 is slowed down, while over any other IP is quick. i had this problem with older version of dovecot but it was about adding login_trusted_networks = 127.0.0.1 but i already have this and logins is slow. how to disable throttling (or better - put other limits) for 127.0.0.1?

Please tell me about Dsync replicator. The following are set to enable the "replication" plug-in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf *---mail_plugins = notify replication---* And I made the following file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/30-dsync.conf *---service replicator { process_min_avail = 1} dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%uplugin { mail_replica = remote:root@"ServerIP"} service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = mail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = mail }} service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 }} replication_max_conns = 10 plugin { # When saving a new mail via IMAP or delivering a mail via LDA/LMTP, # wait for the mail to be synced to the remote site.
