[Dovecot] Dovecot and horde issues
Hello,
First time poster to this list, please be kind.
I am having difficulties trying to get the current stable version of
horde's imp webmail to work correctly using dovecot 1.0rc15. I am
using a pre-release version of SME Server 8 which runs on top of
CentOS 5. I have also tried using the 1.0 release of dovecot as well.
What is happenning is that when I login to imp, I don't see any
folders. I can create folders in imp which do get created in my
Maildir directory, but I can't see them. If I revert back to
dovecot-0.99.14-1.2, then I am able to see my folders. I have been
looking in the wiki at the steps needed to upgrade from 0.99 to 1.0
and I thought everything had been taken care of, but since things
aren't working, I have overlooked something. I also browsed the
archives and see that others are using horde with various dovecot 1.x
releases, so I know it should be possible to get it to work.
My dovecot.conf currently only as the below, which works fine for 0.99: maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no
my /etc/pam.d/dovecot has: more /etc/pam.d/dovecot #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth session include system-auth
imp servers.php: $servers['_prompt'] = array( 'name' => 'Choose a mail server:' );
$servers['thebennetthome2.com'] = array( 'name' => 'IMAP Server', 'server' => 'localhost', 'protocol' => 'imap/notls', 'port' => '143', 'maildomain' => 'test.com', 'smtphost' => 'localhost', 'realm' => 'test.com', 'preferred' => '' );

I do get some php errors when logging into horde, and a lot of php
errors when creating folders that I can post if needed. I did post my
issue to the horde list as well, but there has been no answer to date.
Please let me know what other information is needed to assist me with
fixing this issue.
Thank you very much,

We have very simmilar problems to what you describe in pre 1.0 releases.

This this: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }
Or some other simmilar setup in namespace. That namespace setting we used for Courier compatibility so you may need to have it slightly different. However do check the namespace AND make sure to try this in the 1.0 Release.
We had on/off issues with some users until RC29.. Then upgraded to 1.0 when it was a week old and so far we are very happy with Dovecot.
Going to start migrating all our Courier servers to it.

Thanks for responding, but still no go. My updated dovecot.conf looks
like this:
dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot.conf login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 namespace: type: private separator: . location: maildir:~/Maildir inbox: yes hidden: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: * userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes
If I run through the testinstallation -
http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation, everything looks good.

What else can I check?

See where the newly created mailboxes are created in the filesystem. Sounds like v1.0 is using a completely different directory than v0.99.
Another reason could be subscriptions file.

Thanks for responding. The folders are being created in the same
place as before and are being created correctly. Previously, I stated
that I am trying to get this to work on a pre-release version of SME
Server, which runs on top of CentOS 5. But, what I failed to mention
was that this distro is using imapfront and stunnel. I have found
that if I bypass this (shutting the service down on this distro), then
start dovecot with a good dovecot.conf file, then horde/imp works just
fine.
I have been trying to do research on what exactly imapfront and
stunnel give me in order to try to trouble shoot this better. So, I
believe this issue isn't a dovecot one. Next question, anyone using
imapfront and stunnel with dovecot that could help out? If so, I
don't know what more information you need, so just please tell me and
I will provide.
Thanks again,
John Bennett
