[Dovecot] Outlook + Outlook Express
Hi
I am having problems with users accessing their maildir mail stores through dovecot I am working on version 0.99.11-1 (on fedora core)
It seems to be when the email size is large (450KB +)
The errors are (the server disconnected unexpectedly)
Have turned on the three Outlook and Outlook Express workarounds I found but no luck.
Have read through logs and looked for clues but am just getting no where ...
All the linux boxes here seem to be able to handle things fine ... (kmail evolution etc.)
Thunderbird is also giving me hassles when trying to pull large mail files.
The server is a 2.8 P4 HT with 1024 MB RAM 200GB SATA RAID. +- 7 domains and +-1200 users.
Squirrel Mail seems fine and users are using that to get around the problem for now but I really need the pop3 access working ...
My MTA is postfix and I am using virtual mailboxes using mysql_lookups.
I am also running MailScanner and ClamAV and SpamAssassin (using the hold queue method)
Regards
Andrew

At the very least, you should look for version 0.99.14, as there were a considerable number of fixes between these versions.
If possible, current wisdom is to recommend the 1.0-stable branch, which has far too many improvements to list here.

Are you using mbox or Maildir storage?

Do you have logging turned up full?

Heh... I turned these _off_ last week... but we have a company policy that OutLoo is not allowed. If people complain to me, I get to tell them they can't be having problems with it, because they can't be using it. Ah, the joys of having Engineers as company directors. :)

Almost all my users run Thunderbird, no problems. Even when marketing decides to send a 9MB file to someone.

Plenty of grunt, then. I'm assuming some Linux variant... FC perhaps?

Such a popular tool... if only it weren't written in PHP.

For once, someone providing an excess of information. Good work :)

Either FC3 is _extremely_ popular, or their packagers make a lot of mistakes. Either way, there are a LOT of queries for help with Dovecot on FC3. Search the lists ( there's an archive on http://www.dovecot.com ) and you'll find plenty of help.
