[Dovecot] download IMAP folders via POP3
by Jakob Grießmann 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

[Dovecot] DC testing observation and a question
by Stewart Dean 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I have been running a test DC IMAP server to evaluate the new release before migrating from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8. The test server access all the INBOX and homedir folder filesystems through NFS imports. The index file filesystem is local on both the production server and the test one.. This is messy in that when I ask some one tests using the test sever, the index has to be created or re-gennned, since the local index either doesn't exist or is several months old (from the last time a prospective upgrade was tested) and thus doesn't reflect data on the production DC IMAP server. 1) Watching the syslog maillog has been intriguing...different IMAP client show widely differently use patterns. a) Users running TBird and Seamonkey have 2-5 imap sessions (ps -aef | grep <userid>) *but* very little syslog activity...sparse occasional logins and disconnects b) Users running Exchange have only 1 imap sessions *but* every 5 minutes will generate login and disconnect messages (in and out in the space of a second) for each folders. So for a user with 22 folders, there will be 44 syslog messages in the maillog every 5 minutes. Just curious....any thought as to which is more efficient and by how much? 2) When I try to switch a MacMail client over, it sees the new mail, but not the old mail in the INBOX. How do I force re-indexing on the test server? -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] TLS timeout with 1.2a4
by Luigi Rosa 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a mail server CentOS 64bit (4 Gb RAM) with Dovecot 1.2a4 and three accounts. I use Thunderbird 2. If I enable SSL connection in Thunderbird 2, after three-five minutes I got a lot of different errors in Thunderbird (Server is not IMAP, Connection lost...). Everything comes back to normal if I restart Dovecot in the server, but after 5 minutes I got the same errors. This happens both with an ADSL connection (Thunderbird on Windows XP) AND with a direct 1 Gbit cross cable connection (Thunderbird on Ubuntu 64 8.10). If I disable SSL connection on Thunderbird, everything comes back to normal and I don't get any error. The SSL-related options in dovecot.conf are: ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 47 verbose_ssl = yes ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth = no What kind of logging can I enable to trace this error? On the logfile I find something like taht (there are only 3 seconds between the first and the last line) dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS handshaking dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS handshaking dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1028/49877 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=2253/49352 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=20466/553071 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=19417/163412 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=2937/69241 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=205/41166 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=609/217506 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy Ciao, luigi - -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ Fallo oggi, domani potrebbe essere illegale. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklBUKAACgkQ3kWu7Tfl6ZSQgwCbBoD6IEKjPNYriHrKmES4Zj+y ji0AnRZzU2ETJkVn72kmpR1C+cs3PNdf =T267 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] Master user with "user="?
by Alan Ferrency 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, In our configuration, we are using a "passdb passwd-file", with "user=" directives in each username, and a separate "userdb passwd-file" which contains the target usernames for the "user=" directives. This works fine, for normal logins via POP and IMAP. For customer support testing purposes, we also set up a temporary "master=yes" passwd-file. This works fine, for any passdb username that does not have a "user=" field. However, it seems that if we use the master user to log into a username that is in the passdb with a "user=" field, dovecot looks in the userdb for the original username, and not for the "user=" username specified in the passdb passwd-file. Is this a known bug? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks! Alan Ferrency pair Networks, Inc. alan(a)pair.com
