I have installed rc22 and tried it with my mbox-based mail - fine. Then I converted that mbox to Maildir to see if new feature (saving state without QUIT) works -
first run - I get time out. Second run - I get rest of the Maildir scanned and get into mailbox. Fine. but....
# telnet enders2 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user filonovd +OK pass ****** +OK Logged in. uidl +OK .
where is the list of pop3 uids ? When I connect to mbox I get something like .......... 84904 d8f096c72c24719bd7d13d78a3694114 84905 9074b40ab4283ec38a151587f34690d9 84906 06a40afeaca43fc76bea2231b13b1a33 84907 cdae771ec2407df89a25321f3792d9e9 84908 9f84415625d77dd3cde7d9441847318e
but with Maildir I get nothing. Doesn't look like proper behavior.
P.S. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir #mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
pop3_reuse_xuidl = no pop3_uidl_format = %m

I think that recommended setting is
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
Maybe it could help?

I'd say Dovecot just doesn't find any mails. Try STAT and LIST
commands? I think they'll also show that there are no mails.
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
Looks correct, but you can verify with mail_debug=yes if Dovecot is
really looking at the right place. And are there really files in ~/
Maildir/cur/ and/or ~/Maildir/new/?
No, LIST and STAT are working.
This is only about UIDL command.
Looks like %m is not implemented for Maildir, but why? Am migrating from mbox and would like to keep the UIDL format. What should I use then?
P.S. Tried %Mf - works fine, but I don't know what does it do. Will play with it a bit later. Sorry for the confusion.

Well, you're right that %m doesn't work with maildir. The biggest
reason is that as far as I know there is no other POP3 server that
uses MD5 headers for POP3 UIDLs and it's just extra work for Dovecot.
But if it just didn't return anything, that's a bug. I'll get that
fixed..

What about mbox 2 Maildir migration? It would be nice to keep UIDs if you do one. Unfortunately popa3d uses a bit different MD5 sum, than dovecot, so it doesn't help me in any way.

You could use pop3_reuse_xuidl, to keep UIDLs, but I think popa3d doesn't support adding X-UIDL header. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration#head-772de8b2d0ccc7b14f0d4d546e43b3a017507...

There is a patch for that, though I am not sure it will apply cleanly to current dovecot. http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-January/019045.html ftp://ftp.ufanet.ru/pub/boco/dovecot/popa3d-uidl-patch/

I saw that message. But this is about mbox, not Maildir. I'd like to retain UIDs migrating mbox to Maildir. From what I got in the other thread - it's just impossible. Whatever, I don't have that many pop3 users, so they will have to deal with it.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Timo,
On another note, would it be a good idea to allow the use of message-ids as output to UIDL? Some pop3 servers (e.g., Openwave Email-MX) do so and it will facilitate migrations from this platform.
It keeps those who leave mail on server sane. :P
Cheers.

Well, there's pop3_reuse_xuidl setting which uses X-UIDL header. I
haven't yet heard of anyone really wanting to use Message-ID
directly. Also I'm not sure how exactly that would work. Like would
it just include the parsed Message-ID without any comments and <> an
such, or something else?
Nowadays I'm trying to resist changes that don't affect more than a
few people :)
