Question about mail_location
by Laura Steynes 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

In using mysql, in the configuration file we need to specify, in the user query, '/path/ as home, yet but in dovecot.conf, we also are setting mail_location, the same thing is it not, so unless I've missed something, do we still need to use the path as home in the user query? Do we only need set that if it differs from mail_location? Thanks

Noel, thanks again for help and explanations. (what went wrong for me, I thought I knew actual password, seeing the long random string in dovecot_mysql file, then assumed it must be hashed version of what I knew as password, anyhow, that part working now) V

migrating 2.1 to 3.x, sql pass scheme, pass value?
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

I'm trying to migrate from Centos 6/dovecot 2.1.17/mysql to new server on Centos 7/dovecot 2.2.31 (65cde28)/mariadb I've dumped on oldserver 'dovecot.conf' and used it on newserver doveconf -n > dovecot.conf also, transferred /etc/doveconf/*.conf I've also dumped MySQL 'vmail' and imported database, created user vmail, vmailadmin dumb question: should the password hash from oldserver work 'as is' on newserver..? (different machine, different SQL..) I've tried 'as is', then, attepmted to change both "default_pass_scheme" and 'password=' values, but, no luck postfixadmin works, I can login and see domains/mailboxes what default_pass_scheme should I use ? where/how do I take password= value ? when I attempt to login to pop, I see this: # doveadm stop # dovecot # telnet 127.0.0.1 110 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Metrics service
by Aki Tuomi 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi! All of you running dovecot v2.2.27 or later, are now able to take advantage of our free metrics service at https://metrics.dovecot.org. To use it, set auth_stats=yes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins stats stats_carbon_server = 94.237.81.63 # or stats_carbon_server = [2a04:3542:1000:910:acc1:5bff:fe5e:8c2] stats_carbon_name = some-fancy-identifier-without-a-dot plugin { stats_refresh = 30s } And your server should become listed once someone logs in. Note that it will only work from backends today, it will not work from proxies or directors. This service is provided for free, and we might add or remove metrics from it. Please do not spam it (keep refresh and stats_carbon_interval *AT LEAST* 30 seconds). Also note that since this is a public service, all stats are viewable by anyone. We are open for any feedback, questions or comments for this service. Regards, Aki Tuomi Dovecot oy

Mailbox Alias
by zyrixx 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hello, I have dovecot with Outlook and Roundcube in the employment and with me the Mailboxaliase does not work. The folders are still different and each client creates its own. I thought that the aliases then fell away. Even on a new test system is not. local.conf: namespace inbox { mailbox Sent { auto = create # or subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = create special_use = \Trash } } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mailbox_alias plugin { mailbox_alias_old = Trash mailbox_alias_new = Deleted mailbox_alias_old2 = Sent mailbox_alias_new2 = Sendet mailbox_alias_old3 = Trash mailbox_alias_new3 = Gel&APY-schte Elemente mailbox_alias_old4 = Sent mailbox_alias_new4 = Gesendete Elemente mailbox_alias_old5 = Trash mailbox_alias_new5 = Trasher mailbox_alias_old6 = Sent mailbox_alias_new6 = Sender } Does somebody has any idea? Tanks for all.

Latest Virtual Plugin changes seem to have broken flag changes: 2.2.devel (bf2fa36)
by Thomas Leuxner 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi, I’m using several views like this: # cat Dovecot/dovecot-virtual :public/Archive/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot/* :public/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot all Before the recent changes read mail stayed in sync with the virtual folder. Now regardless whether mail is read in the original Folder or the virtual Folder, the flags are not synchronized anymore. Read mail is flagged unread in the corresponding folder. Regards Thomas
