Hi Alex, list...
Which version of 1.0-stable are you running? Which version of pine?
It's Dovecot 1.0-stable test-59, like you're running. Pine is version 4.62.
I'm using 1.0-stable from 2002-02-25 (test-59) and i have a few pine users (pine-4.44) connecting via IMAPS to port 993. Both the client and server OS is Linux.
Just as a point of reference, i don't see the problems you've described. I had similar issues with squirrelmail when i converted, however an upgrade of squirrelmail fixed my issues. Is the version of pine you're using current?
I believe it's the latest Pine version. Outlook Express is the latest too.
We've a test server which runs Sendmail as MTA and Procmail as MDA. When using Dovecot 0.99 we have no problems with the 'from' fields or whatsoever. When using the same test server, nothing changed regarding the setup of Sendmail/Procmail, but using Dovecot 1.0 we've the problems.
When running
MAIL=~/Maildir /opt/dovecot/bin/imap
and use the command 'x fetch 1 envelope', the result is:
* 1 FETCH (ENVELOPE ("Sun, 6 Mar 2005 14:52:06 +0100 (MET)" "Test" NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL NIL "Pine.GSO.4.62.0503061452001.24401@pseudorca"))
In other words, no 'from' info.
Since you're running the same version of Dovecot without problems, maybe the wrong link is the mail delivery. Could someone send me an ZIPped Maildir with a few test emails? Is someone using the same MTA/MDA combination? If so, what is your sendmail/procmail config?
On the other hand: the right info is in the mail files, otherwise other email clients wouldn't work, right?
Thanks for your interest :)
