Hello I am using dovecot 1.2.15 on ubuntu.
Is it possible to somehow log the MUA information that is connecting to Dovecot?
The reason I am wanting to do this is I would like to know if people are getting their email on personal devices instead of work secured / standardized phones.

from where should that information come?
dovecot has IP, auth-method, username, passwword, TLS that is logged - there is no more information available
grep the logs and analyze IP's reslove the PTR's and you get some useful informations

That is what I was not sure. I did not know what information was possible available. I was thinking or hoping something same as http logs

I see unfortunate but thank you for this information

not of use as their business device can be used from home where also their personal device may be

IMHO, client certificates would work work well here. I think Dovecot supports it.

yes, but you accept them or not
that's a different story than "log the MUA information"

Yes, it is a means to stop people from using insecure devices.
So possibly a useful hint the OP may be interested in! Might well be that its the reason for learning which MUA was used?

a client certificate hadrly makes a device secure if the device is compromised your cert is gone

well, "what client is used" is impossible
there is no user-agent like HTTP and even for HTTP the header is not mandatory and rqeuire it will break your web-app for anybody who cares for privacy while gain nothing

Not in general:
cyrus/imaps[9143]: client id: "name" "Thunderbird" "version" "24.6.0"
I guess, dovecot simply must learn it.

But this depend on if some Mailheader (X-mailer, User-Agent (k9), ...) are set. I'm sure this could be logged with sieve.
I haven't seen a option on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for normal dovecot log, maybe there is one.
Cheers Aleks

Dovecot already knows about the ID fields a client sends. It just doesn't log them by default. This default, of course, can be changed - by setting imap_id_log appropriately. For example imap_id_log = * will log all ID info a client sends.
Obviously, if a client doesn't send ID info, there's nothing dovecot can do about it, though.

UPGRADE! Dovecot < 2.x is no longer supported.
Is it possible to somehow log the MUA information that is connecting to Dovecot?
In the Dovecot v2.0 tree there was the following commit:
changeset: 9123:edcafb3efbbf
branch: HEAD
user: Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
date: Thu Apr 16 19:14:23 2009 -0400
summary: Added imap_idle_notify_interval setting.Some time later in the v2.1 tree there was fix:
changeset: 14197:32ffa616f249
user: Timo Sirainen <tss@iki.fi>
date: Sat Feb 25 07:29:15 2012 +0200
summary: imap-login: imap_id_* settings were ignored pre-login.So, if you would use Dovecot v2.1.x you would be able to log some information about the connected client. BUT not all mail clients are supporting RFC2971 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2971].
The settings for this feature are configured in conf.d/20-imap.conf:
* imap_id_log
* imap_id_sendThe reason I am wanting to do this is I would like to know if people are getting their email on personal devices instead of work secured / standardized phones.
That depends on the used software, see above

Oops, that was the wrong one. :-) Bad grep-voodoo, sorry. So you will need Dovecot v2.1.1 at least.
