This may or not be related, but I had a lot of trouble getting SM to work in it's "dovecot" mode, I'm not sure it's entirely up to snuff - I haven't spent the time to debug. Instead I switched it back to Courier mode (we migrated from Courier) and it works like a champ - you just need to adjust your $default_folder_prefix if you don't actually run Dovecot in Courier-like mode (namespace), I do believe.

Here are what I believe to be the bits out of my config.php that matter:

$imapServerAddress = '127.0.0.1'; $imapPort = 143; $imap_server_type = 'courier'; $invert_time = false; $optional_delimiter = '.';

$default_folder_prefix = 'INBOX.'; $trash_folder = 'Trash'; $sent_folder = 'Sent'; $draft_folder = 'Drafts'; $default_move_to_trash = true; $default_move_to_sent = true; $default_save_as_draft = true; $show_prefix_option = false; $auto_expunge = true; $default_sub_of_inbox = false; $show_contain_subfolders_option = false; $auto_create_special = true; $delete_folder = true; $noselect_fix_enable = false;

$allow_thread_sort = true; $allow_server_sort = true; $allow_charset_search = true; $uid_support = true;

$no_list_for_subscribe = false; $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; $use_imap_tls = false;

The matching namespace in dovecot.conf that goes along with this is:

# Courier-IMAP friendly namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }

Hope this helps some, -te

I have been struggling with getting my Fedora 7 box set up to use dovecot with Squirrelmail and Maildir. It works correctly with the exception of writing outgoing mail to the right folder (.Sent) or drafts (.Drafts). If I send a mail with Mutt, it writes the mail to the right place, so it has to be squirrelmail config or dovecot config. I want to use .Sent for sent-mail (~user/Maildir/.Sent) and .Drafts for drafts (~user/Maildir/.Drafts).

Here is what I see in /etc/squirrelmail/config.php

$optional_delimiter = '.'; [snip] $default_folder_prefix = ''; $trash_folder = 'Trash'; $sent_folder = 'Sent'; $draft_folder = 'Drafts'; $default_move_to_trash = true; $default_move_to_sent = true; $default_save_as_draft = true;

The error in the browser is:

• ERROR : Bad or malformed request.*

Server responded: {830} BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command.

and in the logs I see this:

As you can surmise from the logs, the mail does get sent.

Anybody see my mistake?

Further to my last email about tcpdump to see the imap commands itself this is how you could use it:

tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s 1500 -X tcp port 143
