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?

dsync to backup to directory?
by Felipe Gasper 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hello, We have a hosting operation and are interested in offloading mail for some of our machines to a separate machine. We want the ability, though, to migrate accounts between the “offloaded” and “unified” configurations. Toward that end, is it possible to “merge” two different mail directories (either maildir or mdbox) via doveadm? “doveadm backup” looks like the closest match, but it doesn’t appear to accept an arbitrary directory as its synchronization source. Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Mississauga, Ontario

Dovecot does not recognize imported messages
by lty 08 May '19

08 May '19

Today I tried to import mail directly on the server's home directory on the server. I copied it directly. I didn't use the imap protocol. Dovcot didn't recognize these emails. I didn't display these imported emails on my page, recalculating disk quotas. It will not increase the used capacity. I try to send an email to this user, dovcot recognizes all the emails, and recalculates the disk cooperation, this time is correct. Why can't I identify the mail I imported? > [root@imap2 ~]# dovecot -n > # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # Pigeonhole version 0.4.24 (124e06aa) > # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) > # Hostname: imap > auth_master_user_separator = * > auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN > default_internal_user = vmail > default_vsz_limit = 2 G > deliver_log_format = msgid=%m, subject=%s, from=%f, %$ > dict { > acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf > quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf > } > disable_plaintext_auth = no > first_valid_uid = 2000 > last_valid_uid = 2000 > listen = * > mail_fsync = never > mail_gid = 2000 > mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/ > mail_plugins = quota lazy_expunge zlib fts fts_solr > mail_uid = 2000 > maildir_stat_dirs = yes > managesieve_notify_capability = mailto > managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext > mmap_disable = yes > namespace { > list = children > location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u > prefix = Shared/%%u/ > separator = / > subscriptions = yes > type = shared > } > namespace { > hidden = yes > list = no > location = maildir:/var/vmail/backup/expunged/%d/%n > prefix = .DELETED/ > separator = / > } > namespace inbox { > inbox = yes > location = > mailbox Drafts { > auto = subscribe > special_use = Drafts > } > mailbox Junk { > auto = subscribe > special_use = Junk > } > mailbox Sent { > auto = subscribe > special_use = Sent > } > mailbox Trash { > auto = subscribe > special_use = Trash > } > prefix = > separator = / > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-fallback-password-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-fallback-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-users-password > driver = passwd-file > master = yes > } > plugin { > acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl > acl_globals_only = yes > auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > fts_autoindex_exclude = Junk > fts_autoindex_exclude2 = Trash > fts_autoindex_exclude3 = Sent > fts_autoindex_exclude4 = Drafts > fts_autoindex_max_recent_msgs = 20 > lazy_expunge = .DELETED/ > mail_replica = tcp:10.0.11.152:1111 > quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict > quota_grace = 0%% > quota_max_mail_size = 70M > quota_rule = *:storage=1G > quota_rule2 = *:messages=0 > quota_warning = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u > quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u > quota_warning3 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u > sieve = /%Lh/sieve/dovecot.sieve > sieve_default = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve > sieve_default_name = managesieve > sieve_dir = /%Lh/sieve > } > protocols = pop3 imap sieve > service anvil { > client_limit = 20500 > } > service auth { > client_limit = 20500 > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-master { > group = vmail > mode = 0666 > user = vmail > } > unix_listener auth-userdb { > group = vmail > mode = 0660 > user = vmail > } > } > service dict { > unix_listener dict { > group = vmail > mode = 0660 > user = vmail > } > } > service imap-login { > process_min_avail = 24 > service_count = 0 > vsz_limit = 2 G > } > service imap { > process_limit = 1024000 > process_min_avail = 24 > vsz_limit = 2 G > } > service pop3-login { > service_count = 0 > } > service quota-warning { > executable = script /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh > unix_listener quota-warning { > group = vmail > mode = 0660 > user = vmail > } > } > ssl_ca = </etc/pki/tls/certs/c.cn.ca-bundle > ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/c.cn.crt > ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it > syslog_facility = local6 > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-fallback-user-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > protocol lda { > auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes > mail_fsync = optimized > mail_plugins = quota lazy_expunge zlib fts fts_solr sieve > syslog_facility = local6 > } > protocol imap { > imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep > imap_id_send = NAME dovecot VERSION 2.1.17 > mail_max_userip_connections = 20 > mail_plugins = quota lazy_expunge zlib fts fts_solr imap_quota mail_log imap_zlib notify > } > protocol pop3 { > mail_max_userip_connections = 20 > mail_plugins = quota lazy_expunge zlib fts fts_solr mail_log notify > pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv > }

Question about GIT repository
by Juan C. Blanco 07 May '19

Hello, just a question, I can't see a core "release-2.3.6" branch, nor a pigeonhole "release-0.5.6" branch on the GIT repository, it is outdated? or do you have changed your policy to create a new branch for each new release of dovecot and pigeonhole?

Symlinked mailboxes and dovecot-uidlist.lock
by Dave 07 May '19

07 May '19

I have a scenario where I have two users, one account (user1) with it's own Maildir account, and another account (user2) (which I wish to see the same messages) with a symlinked Maildir to user1's Maildir. I.E.: /home/user1/Maildir /home/user2/Maildir (where this Maildir is symlinked to /home/user1/Maildir) Both users are in a group together (usergroup), and so all of the permissions on the Maildir, new, cur, etc folders are rwxrwx--- or rw-rw----. All mail gets created and delivered correctly, both users can move and create files, and everything generally seems to be working fine. However, I did notice one error showing up in the system logs: May 2 11:35:13 userserver dovecot: imap(user1): Error: inotify_add_watch(/home/user1/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Permission denied May 2 11:36:27 userserver dovecot: imap(user2): Error: inotify_add_watch(/home/user2/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Permission denied May 3 10:10:11 userserver dovecot: imap(user2): Error: inotify_add_watch(/home/user2/Maildir/.Folder1/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Permission denied I've managed to catch a glimpse of a lock file, as it comes and goes very quickly, and it is permissioned as so: -rw-rw---- 1 user1 usergroup 10 May 5 11:39 dovecot-uidlist.lock So I'm not sure what exactly the permissions issue is then? The file seems to have the appropriate group permissions for each user to read from and write to it. Again, this is the only error I'm getting, and everything has been working fine. I did read the Dovecot wiki talking about symlinking mailboxes, and it refers to symlinking each box/folder individually and not the entire Maildir folder as I've done, but since each individual box/folder has its own dovecot-uidlist I imagine I might run into this same issue anyway? Anyway, I'd like to squelch the error if I can, so are there any thoughts as to why the lock files are having trouble with inotify_add_watch? -Dave

doveadm - mailbox to filesystem directory?
by Joaquin F 07 May '19

07 May '19

Is it possible to get the filesystem location (directory name) for a given mailbox? The closest I found was parsing the output of "doveadm -D mailbox create", but this only works if the mailbox doesn't exist yet and prone to failure if the debug output changes in future versions. Using "doveadm mailbox mutf7" helps, but there's some ASCII characters which are encoded. So far I've found "\" turns in to "\5c", "." into "\2e" and "/" to "\2f" and the separator to ".". But maybe there are others. Thanks in advance. Version: dovecot 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) Relevant config: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocols = imap namespace inbox { separator = "$" }
