Hi, I have setup a new ubuntu on 16.04.. I have already a running system on 14.04 but wanted to migrate.

Dsync config help
by Jean-Luc Wasmer 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I’m having a hard time with the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication page. - for a master-master setup, does the configuration need to be mirrored on both masters? - after aggregating unrelated sections of the wiki page, there seems to be 3 different values for “mail_replica": - "remote”: for SSH - “remoteprefix": for SSH wrapper - “tcp”: for TCP connection using the Doveadm protocol Is this correct? - what’s the purpose of the replicator VS aggregator VS doveadm services? Who talks to who? Where can I find documentation about their configuration (i.e. not examples) - most examples are for a single vmail user setup… what should be done when using system accounts? Thanks, Jean-Luc

autoexpunge clarification
by Michael Fox 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

I'm trying to understand autoexpunge, but the documentation is just not clear. Hopefully, someone can clear up a few questions. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings says the following: autoexpunge=<time>: (v2.2.20+) Automatically at user deinitialization expunge all mails in this mailbox whose saved-timestamp is older than <time> (e.g. autoexpunge=30d). This removes the need for expire plugin <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire> if you don't care that the expunging may not always happen in time. What does "at user deinitialization" mean? What does "if you don't care that the expunging may not always happen in time" mean? I read the sub-bullets but they just aren't clear. When exactly does autoexpunge occur? Thanks, Michael

Help setting up IMAP account in Outlook 2016
by Spiro Angeli 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I need help setting up mail clients for my email accounts running on dovecot ver 2.2.18 on CentOS release 6.8 (Final) and Plesk Web Admin Edition in Italian. For better reading I posted a forum thread where you can get all detail info: Help setting up IMAP account in Outlook 2016 Forum link: http://www.emailquestions.com/threads/help-setting-up-imap-account-in-outloo k-2016.13439 I was advised to " ask dovecot list for help with the IMAP server. " So I did and a user kindly suggested me to customize "15-mailboxes.conf " file. I have some technical questions I need to ask. Hope someone knows the answers. As Plesk continuously updates itself and manages most of the server the majority of CentOS fils report this lines on top of each file: ## ## Authentication for Plesk mail users. ## # PLEASE DON'T EDIT ANYTHING IN THIS FILE! ANY CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON UPGRADE. So if I customize this "15-mailboxes.conf " I need to make sure that Plesk does not overwrite. Also I need to make sure that it gets updated if Dovecot changes in its settings. So, my first question is: how do I manage to keep this "15-mailboxes.conf " file updatable by OS (when I update system) but at the same time retain customizations upon system updates? Second question has to do with customization: Please consult attachment for this question a. I wish to see existing server folders (Draft, Sent, Spam, Trash) on my MS Outlook mail client software only in Italian and not in English. What should I do? Roundcube displays them in Italian. AquaMail (on Android) displays them in Italian. b. I was told to solve this server wise and not mail box per mailbox. Is this correct? c. Can you please share a complete customized code, for my needs, for this "15-mailboxes.conf " so I can learn from it? Thank you, Spiro
