How do I set all my mailboxes to "subscribed"
by Steve Litt 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Hi all, I've had a great deal of trouble accessing my Dovecot IMAP from most supposedly IMAP aware email clients, and have been advised that it might be because some of my email folders are not subscribed. Is there s way I can subscribe all my folders? I see no reason to have a folder not subscribed. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt December 2019 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st Century http://www.troubleshooters.com/rl21

Dovecot 2.3.9 fails on FreeBSD
by Pascal Christen 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hi I've just tried to build the latest Dovecot 2.3.9 on FreeBSD 11.3. Without success...It fails on the following commit which was introduced in 2.3.9: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/c85f1bc3ce612c736c9d2c468cc08306db1b… Following output is the build log: https://pastebin.com/3nvSeDn8 So I guess it has to do with some changes FreeBSD made: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18630 What do you guys think? Greetings Pascal

dovecot sieve duplicates detection
by André Rodier 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hello, I have tested the sieve duplicate script with success so far, but I have a question. I would like to know if the "duplicate" sieve flag in Dovecot is global to all folders, or specific to one folder only. For instance, if I copy an email from one folder to another, and I have a discard action on duplicate email, is this action will be applied (in this case, discard) or not. If the duplicate is global to all folders, is there a way to restrict the search in one folder only. Thanks for your help. André

About "received" header when using Dovecot proxy
by ml＠riku22.net 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hello. My name is Riku. Currently, I use Dovecot as a proxy for another SMTP server. However, this seems to cause the IP address of the "received" header to be that of the proxy server. Is it possible to change this so that the IP address of the sender is entered? The version of Dovecot is "2.3.8 (9df20d2db)". Sorry for the incomprehensible explanation. Thank you. Best regards.

Environment variables in pgsql connect string
by Eirik Rye 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hi, We are trying to set up a Dovecot Docker image with dynamic database configuration based on environment variables, however the variables do not appear to be expanded in the "connect=" string of the SQL config. The documentation states that environment variables, being listed under global variables, work "everywhere": https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_variables/#… However, the source code for driver-pgsql.c indicates that the connect string is never expanded: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-sql/driver-pgsql.c#L297 For reference, this is my configuration. dovecot.conf: import_environment = PASSDB_USER PASSDB_DBNAME PASSDB_PASSWORD passdb { override_fields = proxy=y driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = pgsql connect = host=mail-passdb dbname=%{env:PASSDB_DBNAME} user=%{env:PASSDB_USER} password=%{env:PASSDB_PASSWORD} Does anyone have any suggestions for how to connect to a database without hardcoding the connection parameters in the Dovecot config, which does not involve patching driver-pgsql.c to make the variable expansion? Best regards, Eirik Rye

Fast searching from android device with Dovecot/Maildir
by John Gateley 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hello, I am using dovecot as an imap server, mail is stored in mail directories. Configuration is below. One mail directory has about 14 Gb of mail in the inbox and .Sent directories. Searching from an Android phone with gmail is slow or doesn't work (it times out). Is there a configuration for Dovecot that can improve this? A better e-mail client for Android? Thanks, John root@giraffe:~# dovecot --version 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) root@giraffe:~# doveconf -an # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.11 ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } ... protocols = " imap" ...

Hi, Dovecot wiki says the solr url is something like 'solr/dovecot/' but this gives a 404, if I install solr as per the docs I have a 'solr/#/dovecot/' url: https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr I have installed dovecot 2.3 from https://repo.dovecot.org/ and solr 8.3 as per the wiki on a Ubuntu 18.04.
