Now i have found the solution. It seems to help to ask you. ;)
The solution was to change from listen = [::] to listen = *, [::]
There is no explanation for it - just try and error ...
Hmm, [::] -> in6addr_any (any in IPv6 protocol), therefore you had no listener (er, Dovecot listener process) on IPv4, but IPv6 only. Maybe Dovecot v1 handled [::] differently and added *.
I can only say that it was working afterwards.
I lost many hours just to find out that i have to define e.g. service imap-login { Before there was no error, dovecot running and no ports listening.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveconf has the example:
" doveconf can be also used to convert v1.x configuration files into v2.x format.
doveconf -n -c /oldpath/dovecot.conf > /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.new "
Good to know - but to late for me. The utilites are a good idea!
I think there are (to many) details handled slightly different. Of course this is no problem - but not easy to find out.
I had some problems like this upgrading from exim 4.6 to 4.8 - but not so hard. Dovecot steps into the same problems as exim. It becomes so mighty that everything is possible - but it is hard to understand how to master it. The wiki is a good solution, but i miss a description of the dependencies that are not clear. You only understand it when you have mastered it.
Has someone an idea how to migrate the emails from charset ISO8859-1 to UTF-8?
The mailbody? recode Latin1..utf8 < in > out, but IMAP defines, that you cannot change messages inplace. The client need to redownload them.
The client should left the message on the server with no local copy.
No, I mean: IMAP defines that messages are immutable, you must not change a message file on the server. Therefore you cannot recode a message file on the server and hope that the clients pick up the change. You need to cause that the MUAs think that the modified message is new. E.g. with Maildir backend you rename each message file:
Yes - i understand. The encoding is defined in the email - so this should be no problem.
I had the problem that Thunderbird deletes some Emails because he thought they should be deleted. Is this marked somewhere?
1367436834.P516Q0M961879.server:2,Sa -> 1367436834.P516Q0M961879.server.a:2,Sa
Ahh - good to know.
see change before ":". Then each MUA thinks that it had not seen the message, because Dovecot assigns a new UID to it.
At least i deleted all the index files and stepped with the client through the directories. Now everything is working fine.
Thanks for your help and tips!
