[Dovecot] Disable/patch iOS7 Full Body Search
by Chris Laif 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

As mentioned in other posts [1], iOS7 Mail App uses a multi-folder full body search by default. As to my knowledge, this behavior cannot be disabled within the Mail App. Is there any way to disable/patch this behavior on the server side? My users complain that searching now takes 'forever'. They were happy with the old behavior (searching From/To/Subject only). I do NOT want to setup/maintain a dovecot FTS. I just want to have the 'old' behavior. Chris [1 ]http://blog.fastmail.fm/2013/09/17/ios-7-mail-app-uses-multi-folder-body-searches-by-default/ ("Our plan at FastMail is to detect iOS clients, and convert all searches into FUZZY searches.")

[Dovecot] Finding memory leaks
by Philipp Brüll 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I try to find a memory leak in a dovecot plugin that I develop. In order to find it, it would be helpful to print the total amount of memory that is currently allocated. This print could than spread over the source code and the memory consumption can be tracked. I've tried i_debug("pool size %u", (unsigned int)pool_alloconly_get_total_alloc_size(system_pool)); But that failed. Does someone has a good advice? I would like to avoid complex solutions like valgrind.

[Dovecot] Doveadm?
by Tommy Berglund 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

I have a question? Is it possible that with doveadm delete all but the last x-number of messages in a folder. For example to retain the last 200 messages in the folder. If it is possible, how do you do it? Something like "doveadm expunge -u jane.doe(a)example.org mailbox xxx" Thank you! -- //Tommy

[Dovecot] Suppress IMAP Disconnection Messages
by Ron Scott-Adams 12 Mar '14

In syslog, I frequently see messages such as: "dovecot: imap(user): Disconnected for inactivity" I understand why these happen, but is there anyway to configure logging to suppress these messages?

[Dovecot] Can I create multiple sockets and listen on them in parallel.
by Alan Chandler 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

I currently have a setup which is postfix -> dovecot via lmtp over a unix socket. The socket is located at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp I am calling dspam as a milter from postfix. However I am struggling with getting dspam knowing the correct user for the incoming mail, because after its been through the milter, the virtual alias maps etc end up turning it into my "dovecot" user name, and the two are not easily comparable. So instead I want to try and set up postfix->dspam->dovecot But I want to take it in easy stages, and therefore ideally would like to set up dovecot to listen on two sockets simultenously = one for the existing connection from postfix, and one for the future connection from dspam - preferably in the context of the /var/spool/dspam or /var/lib/dovecot directories That way I can continue to receive existing mail whilst sending a few test mails through dspam. Does 10-master.conf config file work that way? (debian configuration) can I change something like this ... service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = postfix user = postfix } } into this ... service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = postfix user = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/dspam/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = dspam user = dspam } } and still have dovecot work? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk

[Dovecot] POP3 and mail retention
by Roman Gelfand 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Using outlook 2010 as mail client, I have noticed that once an email is moved from inbox, it is deleted from the cur/ directory on the server. Is there a pop3 setting on dovecot that would keep emails, with possible retention period, and recognize that this email has been moved from inbox, etc.. If all of this is doable, would setting outlook to delete the email after 14 days work? delete email from the server when emptying deleted folder? Thanks in advance

by Scott Geiger 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

I am working on setting up dovecot 2.2.12 with an installed qmail + vpopmail 5.5.0 base. So far I have not had much luck getting the auth to work with vpopmail. Does dovecot 2.2.12 work with vpopmail 5.5.0? So far when I try to authenticate I always get back User Unknown in the log. Thanks
