Hi, having a nightmare trying to get dovecot working on my SheevaPlug (flash based ARM embedded device). I need to use virtual users, and I need to store all the mail on an external USB HDD (not in home directories which live in the limited flash space). However I can't even log in via telnet. I've followed the Wiki troubleshooting tips, and still no further forward.
logging via telnet, I get: "user sheeva BAD Error in IMAP command received by server." the logs show: ubuntu dovecot: User sheeva is missing UID (see mail_uid setting)
What do I need to do? I know basic Linux stuff, but I wouldn't call myself an expert, so please no tech talks!!!
Thats kind of a silly thing to say on a technical support list, don't you think? ;)
Seriously... what you are trying to do *requires* some level of technical skill... to expect otherwise is - well, unrealistic.
