Hi all,
I'm using dovecot 2.0-beta4's sieve plugin and it works great but here is an idea for improvement:
When creating the first sieve script for an account whose home dir does not yet exist then dovecot *does* create that homedir but the sieve client times out. Tried Thunderbird's sieve addon as well as horde's ingo.
The log says:
dovecot: managesieve-login: Login: user=<me@example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: managesieve(me@example.com): sieve-storage: sieve_storage_verify_dir(/mnt/data/vmail/dovecot-homedirs/example.com/me//sieve/tmp) failed: File exists dovecot: managesieve(me@example.com): Fatal: Failed to open Sieve storage.
Because the homedir was created (great!) when I retry the same action then all works perfectly well. So why not make that homedir creation transparent so that the clients' first try succeeds instead of the second try?
Cheers, Felix
