[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha2 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz.sig Mainly the same fixes as in v1.1.3 -> v1.1.4 plus some more v1.2-specific fixes. Not many people have been testing v1.2 releases. Wonder if there's something I could do to improve that. I guess v1.2 is kind of missing those killer features that would get a lot of people to try it. :) I've slowly started working on replication, but I've been pretty busy with school recently. I'm hoping to become a bit less busy when some of the courses end in a few weeks, but then again I should also write my B.Sc. essay ("Scalable high-performance email setups" in Finnish) before christmas and that'll probably take some time if I want to do it well.

[Dovecot] Mbox problem in 1.1.3 solved in 1.1.4
by Tomas Ögren 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello. This is just a FYI mail to get the problem (and solution) into a searchable archive.. I ran into the following problem with mbox: Panic: IMAP(XXX): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Which was fully reproducable in 1.1.3, but in the newly released 1.1.4 this does not happen anymore. All is well, birds are singing etc. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, stric(a)cs.umu.se, http://www.cs.umu.se/~stric/ `- Student and SysAdmin at Computing Science, University of Umeå

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1.4 managesieve patch
by Geoffroy Desvernay 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm maintainer of managesieve's FreeBSD port. (cc to dovecot's port maintainer) Stephan, do you plan to make available a 1.1.4 specific patch ? Dovecot's port assume that managesieve patch include dovecot's version number: so it may help the port's upgrade process. (seems that 1.1.3's patch is applying smoothly) Another question: I didn't found anything about managesieve support in dovecot 1.2x: - is the patch still required ? - should managesieve server work with dovecot 1.2 in actual state (0.10.3) I'll soon try it on a small setup (FreeBSD+Maildir+fs quotas+managesieve) - -- Geoffroy Desvernay -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjp79sACgkQGbFYzwF8gKrubACfYBDeX88iGNAePPfeut/YksJ4 6zgAoJAmOTvx6fKjNQ4Vs7VWkxFHjMCp =8G2x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] v1.1.4 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.4.tar.gz.sig - SORT: Yet another assert-crashfix when renumbering index sort IDs. - ACL plugin fixes: Negative rights were actually treated as positive rights. 'k' right didn't prevent creating parent/child/child mailbox. ACL groups weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Fixes to rebuilding when quota limit wasn't specified in Dovecot (0 limit or limit read from maildirsize). - mbox: Several bugfixes causing errors and crashes. - Several fixes to expire plugin / expire-tool. - lock_method=dotlock could have deadlocked with itself. - Many error handling fixes and log message improvements.

Not sure what happened here, but today, all of a sudden, pop3 emails are not being deleted. I was using the 1.1.3 version then upgraded to 1.1.4 now it no longer deletes emails.

[Dovecot] LSUB strangeness continued
by Don Steiny 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, I wrote earlier to mention that I am having touble with LSUB command reporting "permission denied' on some accounts and not others that are identical as far as I can see. I am trying various combinations of stuff, so i set up a new IMAP account in Thunderbird that went to one of the accounts I am having trouble with. I was not surprised to get "Server says permission denied". I was surprised that after a minute or so, it went ahead downloaded the mail messages? What the heck? Does Thunderbird try another command? -Don
