I'm still lagging behind in my email, but I guess it's time to release v2.0.9 anyway.
- Linux: Fixed a high system CPU usage / high context switch count
performance problem
- Maildir: Avoid unnecessarily reading dovecot-uidlist while opening
mailbox.
- Maildir: Fixed renaming child mailboxes when namespace had a prefix.
- mdbox: Don't leave partially written messages to mdbox files when
aborting saving.
- Fixed master user logins when using userdb prefetch
- lda: Fixed a crash when trying to send "out of quota" reply
- lmtp: If delivering duplicate messages to same user's INBOX,
create different GUIDs for them. This helps to avoid duplicate
POP3 UIDLs when pop3_uidl_format=%g.
- virtual storage: Fixed saving multiple mails in a transaction
(e.g. copy multiple messages).
- dsync: Saved messages' save-date was set to 1970-01-01.On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 01:21:26PM +0200, Timo Sirainen wrote:

Is this relevant to RHEL5 kernels (2.6.18-194.32.1.el5), or only bleading edge kernel.org versions? Any idea ?

Those directories are wrong.. Neither LAYOUT=maildir++ nor LAYOUT=fs, but a broken hybrid of some kind..

OS: Linux 2.6.35-24-virtual x86_64 Ubuntu 10.10
... mail_plugins = " quota acl listescape zlib lazy_expunge" ...
Ok, seems to be a bug in the listescape plugin. If I remove it from mail_plugins renaming works fine. Unfortunately, that's not an option because some users have folders with '.' in its name.
Another issue that is probably related: if a user shares a _sub_folder to other users, it is not visible for them while the listescape plugin is enabled. It works only for root level folders.

Quick question :
Is "listescape" a plugin that allows people own folders with period (".")in them ? AFAIK (and on mozilla thunderbird) one cannot have these :
"." "/" "\" "*" and "^"

With the listescape plugin you can have almost any character in mailbox names. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape

This bug has existed in previous 2.x versions also. And I'm not sure if there is any good way to fix it either. I tried a few ways but those failed. Maybe it can't be fully fixed before v2.1.

- Linux: Fixed a high system CPU usage / high context switch count performance problem
Is this problem also present in Dovecot 1.2.xx ?
Regarding critical resources in shared (XEN) servers, like CPU or RAM usage, will v.2.0.9 use more (or less) resources than v.1.2.12?
Do you feel that v.2.0.9 is already good enough to use in a shared server to serve less than a 100 users?

About the same I think.

Should be fine.

If it works for 15k users here, it will probably work for less than a 100 users as well.

Just wondering, what OS do you use? Is there actually any distro recommendation for dovecot 2.x?
And what's the status on debian? Sid still comes with 1.2.15, but it has like 210k lines of patches; is there any chance that it'll get 2.x.x any time soon? Or is debian just the wrong platform if I want to run the dovecot 2 series? What do other users do, roll your own .debs from source?

I'm just building from source. There are prepackaged *debs, though

In my case FreeBSD (not acctually an distro before people start correcting me :D ) And for you it can be another distro. Just use the distro you are comfortable with.

The next version of Debian, 6.0, which should be released "soon" will
get 1.2.15. No 2.x, unfortunately.
It's possible that there will be a backport of version 2.x, however.

Ubuntu (Debian based) server < http://www.ubuntu.com/server >
Main distro has Dovecot 1.2.12, but there are ppa's (a kind of user maintained, but publicly available repository) with the latest Dovecot (currently 2.0.9).
To install Dovecot 2.0.9, using Mauermann's ppa, you just execute: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mauermann/testing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
2.x.x any time soon? Or is debian just the wrong platform if I want to run the dovecot 2 series? What do other users do, roll your own .debs from source?
Debian is as good as any other. It is just a matter of finding a backported Dovecot 2.0.9 that suits your Debian version. For instance, as it seems that you are using the same Debian base, you could try to execute as root: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mauermann/testing/ubuntu maverick main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
And see if it works for you.
If it doesn't, just get back at were you started, execute as root: sed -i '/mauermann\/testing/d' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update

M.

Nice to hear that some people other than me are using my PPA :-) But I recommend using my main "stable" PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mauermann/ppa
However, above steps currently only work for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. The packages should work in Lucid and Natty too (feedback welcome), but you may have to manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list (or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mauermann-xx-yy.list)

The docs are from wiki2, where this page redirects to Pigeonhole. So that file shouldn't be there at all. Should be gone now in next release.

Uh? To my knowledge, there is nothing to catch up to. If you're getting a version error, you only need to recompile.

That is a great news.
However, how to solve the dsync bugs (1 - wrong size in the m.xxxx files, 2 - errors when converting large mailboxes) ? How can I help on this ?
Thanks Timo for the great tool anyway

Hmm...had a compile error last time, but after re-configuring yet again
and specifying --with-dovecot to my source path it worked fine now.
Sorry for the false alarm.
