Just saw this new twist to an issue I reported last week with dovecot-2.0.alpha2. I logged into an IMAP account using telnet to port 143. After 30 seconds dovecot closed the connection. Mon Nov 2 16:00:07 server dovecot[52355]: imap: dup2(-1, 5) failed: Bad file descriptor Mon Nov 2 16:00:07 server dovecot[52355]: imap: service(imap): dup2s failed Mon Nov 2 16:00:07 server dovecot[52355]: imap-login: Login: user=<userV>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.10, lip=192.168.1.7, pid=59521 Mon Nov 2 16:00:37 server dovecot[52353]: master: service(imap): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Mon Nov 2 16:00:37 server dovecot[52353]: master: service(imap): child 59521 killed with signal 9 Mon Nov 2 16:00:37 server dovecot[52353]: master: service(imap): command startup failed, throttling

I'm trying to create nested dirs with my thunderbird 2.0.0.23 client but without any luck :( I can create dir in the root, but not subdirs. have you any ideas? here you can you see the small config and attached my full config dovecot -n # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.12.6-arm1 armv5tejl Debian 5.0.3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd # dovecot -a # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.12.6-arm1 armv5tejl Debian 5.0.3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot log_path: info_log_path: log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: mail protocols: imaps listen: * ssl_listen: ssl: yes ssl_ca_file: ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_key_password: ssl_parameters_regenerate: 168 ssl_cipher_list: ssl_cert_username_field: commonName ssl_verify_client_cert: no disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: no shutdown_clients: yes nfs_check: yes version_ignore: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_user: dovecot login_greeting: Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements: user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format: %$: %s login_process_per_connection: yes login_chroot: yes login_trusted_networks: login_process_size: 64 login_processes_count: 3 login_max_processes_count: 128 login_max_connections: 256 valid_chroot_dirs: mail_chroot: max_mail_processes: 512 mail_max_userip_connections: 10 verbose_proctitle: no first_valid_uid: 500 last_valid_uid: 0 first_valid_gid: 1 last_valid_gid: 0 mail_access_groups: mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: mail_gid: mail_location: mail_cache_fields: mail_never_cache_fields: imap.envelope mail_cache_min_mail_count: 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval: 30 mail_debug: no mail_full_filesystem_access: no mail_max_keyword_length: 50 mail_save_crlf: no mmap_disable: no dotlock_use_excl: yes fsync_disable: no mail_nfs_storage: no mail_nfs_index: no mailbox_list_index_disable: yes lock_method: fcntl maildir_stat_dirs: no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: no maildir_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_read_locks: fcntl mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mbox_lock_timeout: 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout: 120 mbox_min_index_size: 0 mbox_dirty_syncs: yes mbox_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: yes dbox_rotate_size: 2048 dbox_rotate_min_size: 16 dbox_rotate_days: 1 mail_drop_priv_before_exec: no mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_process_size: 256 mail_plugins: mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_log_prefix: %Us(%u): mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 10 imap_max_line_length: 65536 imap_capability: imap_client_workarounds: imap_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o imap_id_send: imap_id_log: imap_idle_notify_interval: 120 pop3_no_flag_updates: no pop3_enable_last: no pop3_reuse_xuidl: no pop3_lock_session: no pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds: pop3_logout_format: top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s dict_db_config: dict_process_count: 1 managesieve_max_line_length: 65536 managesieve_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o managesieve_implementation_string: dovecot auth default: mechanisms: plain realms: default_realm: cache_size: 0 cache_ttl: 3600 cache_negative_ttl: 3600 executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth user: root chroot: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ username_translation: username_format: master_user_separator: anonymous_username: anonymous krb5_keytab: gssapi_hostname: winbind_helper_path: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth failure_delay: 2 verbose: no debug: no debug_passwords: no ssl_require_client_cert: no ssl_username_from_cert: no use_winbind: no count: 1 worker_max_count: 30 process_size: 256 passdb: driver: pam args: deny: no pass: no master: no userdb: driver: passwd args:
