immediate delete of mails
Hello all!
I've got a home server running on an ARM Cortex-A7 with my custom Linux distribution. It's also responsible for handling incoming and outgoing mails. The SMTP server is OpenSMTPD-6.0.3p1. I'm using Dovecot-2.3.2.1 to export the mails (mailbox storage format) using IMAP.
My old server used to have Dovecot-1.2.0 and honestly, it was absolutely sufficient for me. However, I've decided to use the latest Dovecot on my new system, since all other software components of my system are up-to-date.
With my simple IMAP-configuration Dovecot is running fine, expect for one thing: when I press DEL in the mailer client, the mails don't get deleted. They simple reside in the mailbox file. It annoys me a lot, since the mailer client regularly makes them appear with a different (grey) color.
The mailer client is Sylpheed and I'm not willing to use another one. I've already tried Thunderbird, Evolution, Claws-mail, Sylpheed, and Sylpheed suits best to my needs.
The funny thing is that with the same Sylpheed the old Dovecot was willing to physically remove the mails from mailbox file, but the new Dovecot isn't willing to do so.
I've tried to search for an appropriate configuration option, but didn't find what I exactly need. Auto expunge, command-line expunging are nice, but I do want immediate mail delete from mailbox file when I press DEL in the mailer client. I know this can be dangerous and degrades performance.
Is there any option to configure Dovecot to behave like this? If it needs to recompile Dovecot I'm also in ;)
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
most imap clients don't delete mails immediately, instead they are marked as deleted and expunged a few days or weeks later.
From Sylpheed docs / Interface tab: https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/doc/manual/en/sylpheed-8.html
• If Execute immediately when moving or deleting messages is not selected, a new button appears in the button bar marked Execute. When deleting or moving messages, they are first marked as deleted or moved but Sylpheed does not move or delete them until you press the Execute button (or the Execute entry of the Tools menu).You could check if the filename of a deleted email has changed in your maildir.

This setting is enabled in my Slypheed and mails don't disappear. Even if I switch this off and try to manually execute the expunge operation, the mails still remain.
You could check if the filename of a deleted email has changed in your maildir.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, Dovecot is using mbox files on my machine.

I don't think it's relevant, since with the very same Sylpheed an older Dovecot (1.x) could erase the unneeded mails. Perhaps some file permission issue on my server...?

Do you see anything in Dovecot logs? It should definitely log if there were permission issues.
Good luck, Reio

With 'mail_debug=yes' I see nothing relevant. Just something like this when I want to expunge deleted mails:

Can you enable mail_log plugin as well?

Sure.
I've sent myself a mail from another account, opened it, deleted and then tried to expunge. Here's the log output:

When I press DEL on a mail, the file /home/tselmeci/mail/Trash increases and the deleted mail is appended to it. But it doesn't disappear from /var/spool/mail/tselmeci. Once I expunge, /home/tselmeci/mail/Trash becomes empty but the original mail is still present in /var/spool/mail/tselmeci.
Maybe the SMTP server holds a write lock on the spool file thus preventing Dovecot from erasing the mail?

How do you deliver then mails to the server?
also mbox is very unoptimised mailbox format for this. Each time mail is deleted from mbox mailbox the whole mbox while needs to be rewritten to remove the mail.

OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and stores them in a mailbox (/var/spool/mail/user). Dovecot then fetches mails from this mailbox file.
Mailbox file is indeed very unoptimal, but at this moment I'm more curious about the reason why I can't expunge mails... perhaps it'd simpler with maildir, where it just means a simple file deletion.

The answer to "2 select inbox" contains "Read-only mailbox", it's suspicious to me...

doveadm user <yourusername>
check the UID/GID value (or look mail_uid / mail_gid from config)
namei -vl /path/to/your/mbox/file
and check permissions are correct

That's it! I've set /var/spool/mail/user_mbox_file to root accidentally, and haven't thought that Dovecot will try to open it as the logged in user (therefore having no right to change it). After modifying the mbox file's permission the mails can now be deleted.
Many thanks!

How do you deliver then mails to the server?
OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and stores them in a mailbox (/var/spool/mail/user). Dovecot then fetches mails from this mailbox file.
Regarding locks, OpenSMTPD's config should match methods AND order of dovecot's mbox_write_locks.
Methods known by dovecot are dotlock, flock, fcntl and lockf. I couldn't find out, which methods are used by OpenSMTPD.
Dovecot's mbox_read_locks should match too, but dotlock isn't used.

You could use LMTP instead of direct delivery, too.

Well, some dirty cronjob could periodically expunge all emails marked as DELETED from a specific user. You would need to exchange USERNAME with the real username in this little bash script. This should work, use at your own risk. (^.~)
#!/bin/bash doveadm mailbox list -u USERNAME | while read -r i do doveadm expunge -u USERNAME mailbox $i DELETED done
Finding the real issue would be best of course.
