Hi
I am having problems with users accessing their maildir mail stores through dovecot I am working on version 0.99.11-1 (on fedora core)
At the very least, you should look for version 0.99.14, as there were a considerable number of fixes between these versions.
If possible, current wisdom is to recommend the 1.0-stable branch, which has far too many improvements to list here.
It seems to be when the email size is large (450KB +)
Are you using mbox or Maildir storage?
The errors are (the server disconnected unexpectedly) Have read through logs and looked for clues but am just getting no where ...
Do you have logging turned up full?
Have turned on the three Outlook and Outlook Express workarounds I found but no luck.
Heh... I turned these _off_ last week... but we have a company policy that OutLoo is not allowed. If people complain to me, I get to tell them they can't be having problems with it, because they can't be using it. Ah, the joys of having Engineers as company directors. :)
All the linux boxes here seem to be able to handle things fine ... (kmail evolution etc.)
Thunderbird is also giving me hassles when trying to pull large mail files.
Almost all my users run Thunderbird, no problems. Even when marketing decides to send a 9MB file to someone.
The server is a 2.8 P4 HT with 1024 MB RAM 200GB SATA RAID. +- 7 domains and +-1200 users.
Plenty of grunt, then. I'm assuming some Linux variant... FC perhaps?
Squirrel Mail seems fine and users are using that to get around the problem for now but I really need the pop3 access working ...
Such a popular tool... if only it weren't written in PHP.
My MTA is postfix and I am using virtual mailboxes using mysql_lookups.
I am also running MailScanner and ClamAV and SpamAssassin (using the hold queue method)
For once, someone providing an excess of information. Good work :)
