[Dovecot] IMAP Label Updates not showing up across shared account
by Ricardo Branco 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Dovecot 2.0.13 Centos 5.4 x86_64 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 (on ESXi) OS/Logs on local storage, /home all on NFS server for datastore (NFS Store Centos 5.5 x86_64 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) Thunderbird 3.1.10 on XP/W7 Desktops We are seeing a werid issue where there is a delay of up to a few mins in seeing label updates on messages. I have confirmed that Thunderbird is sending the update to the server with WireShark, its just additional users connected to the same mailbox do not see them. Marking a message as Seen/Un-Seen happens faster just not labels. If you have a label set when you mark a message as Seen/Un-Seen the other clients then see the update straight away. -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

[Dovecot] Bug: Fixed a duplicate
by Tom Sommer 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I restored a dovecot mailserver today, and when I started the server again, the logs filled up with "Fixed a duplicate" warnings. This in itself it not a problem, the problem is that it appears the fix is not done correct. Consider this: Warning: Fixed a duplicate: [X]/cur/1305907573.V807I37682f3M146183.mail8.xxx.com:2,S -> 1306601066.M382668P27710.mail8.xxx.com The problem appears to be the timestamp of this new file isn't updated correctly. Now I got hundreds of mailboxes filled with mails named 1305907573.* with random (in the past) timestamps, leading to mangled miss-sorted inboxes for customers. 3575 May 25 02:05 1306600913.M982997P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 55313 May 6 01:50 1306600913.M982998P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 9839 May 7 23:59 1306600913.M982999P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 3453 May 10 01:32 1306600913.M983000P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 16616 May 14 00:22 1306600913.M983001P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 68850 May 25 00:46 1306600913.M983002P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S etc. Dovecot is v. 2.0.11 I guess I should have deleted all dovecot.* files after the restore, before I started dovecot? // Tom

[Dovecot] dsync: Invalid mailbox first_recent_uid

For the life of me I can't get dsync to work. Please help! Remote server runs dovecot out of /usr/local/dovecot2. Everything makes sense until this line: dsync-local(djonas(a)vitalwerks.com): Error: Invalid mailbox input from worker server: Invalid mailbox first_recent_uid The local uid is 8989 and the remote uid is 89. I added "first_valid_uid = 89" to the local conf but to no avail.

[Dovecot] solr substring schema.xml
by Daniel Miller 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I'm trying a modified schema.xml with solr - it appears I now have substring searches! I took the schema.xml file shipped with Dovecot, and modified the text field definition to be: <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.NGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="3" maxGramSize="15"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> Changing to the new "SnowballPorter" instead of the deprecated "EnglishPorter" filters is probably minor - the magic is the "NGramFilterFactory". 3 & 15 seemed reasonable defaults for the min/max size to search on. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] unexpected subfolder locaton in Maildir/.INBOX.subfolder
by wulf 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hallo, I try to migrate existing imap server to dovecot 1.2 in debian squeeze if I connect to imap://user@host/INBOX Inbox works as expected and I get the content of Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.subfolder already exists if I connect to imap://user@host/INBOX.subfolder I get "folder not found" if I do a imap directory listing (raw mutt config, no subscriptions) - I see "../" - If I navigate to "../" I se all my existing subfolders if I create a new folder via imap the folder is created in Maildir/.INBOX.new_subfolder I expect the creation of Maildir/.new_subfolder This doesn't fit to the client configs and if I move the existing folders it doesn't fit to existing delivery agent filters and settings. I enabled mail_debug and the expansion looks ok for me: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<wulf>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.178.xx.xxx, lip=80.81.xxx.xxx, TLS dovecot: IMAP(wulf): Effective uid=112, gid=114, home=/var/mail/home/wulf dovecot: IMAP(wulf): maildir: data=~/Maildir dovecot: IMAP(wulf): maildir++: root=/var/mail/home/wulf/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/home/wulf/Maildir the existing subscription information from courier-imap looks like INBOX.subolder Yes I can sed them to subfolder (of course I have to copy them to Maildir/subscriptions anyhow) But is that the idea? I like to avoid trouble with all the users and their already configured mail-clients. Where is my mistake?

[Dovecot] slow squat fts index creation
by Cor Bosman 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi all, ive been playing with squat indexes. Up to about 300.000 emails in a single mailbox this was working flawlessly. The search index file is about 500MB at that time. Ive now added some more emails, and at 450.000 or so emails im seeing a serious problem with squat index creation. It takes...f o r e v e r . The .tmp file is being so slowly, it will probably take 2-3 hours to create. Upto this point it took maybe a minute. Im doing this in an openvz container, so theoretically i may be hitting some openvz resource limit. But ive upped all the limits and dont see any improvements. I dont see any resources starvation either. Could there be some dovecot issue when the search index reaches say 1GB? (im estimating that it's now trying to save about 1GB search index). Regards, Cor

[Dovecot] passdb: password contains illegal chars question
by Torsten Krah 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, some question about passdb backend: I'll receive this (using dovecot 2.0.13, pgsql passdb backend) for some users: mail dovecot: auth: passdb(account-username,127.0.0.1): Attempted login with password having illegal chars Password schema ist crypt-md5. So what "chars" does dovecot not like (why?) and whats the preferred way to fix this? regards Torsten -- Bitte senden Sie mir keine Word- oder PowerPoint-Anhänge.
