I managed to test it successfully using MailKit: https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit I used the IMAP demo in samples/ImapClientDemo. I limited the available mechanisms presented by the server to SCRAM-SHA-256 exclusively, so the demo needs no modification. So, from our end it seems to work fine. Regards, Stephan.

Reloading dovecot after certificate renewal?
by ＠lbutlr 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Is it enough to issue a `service restart dovecot` when a certificate renews or do I need to service stop/start? -- "A thousand years ago we thought the world was a bowl. Five hundred years ago we knew it was a globe. Today we know it is flat and round carried through space on the back of a turtle. Don't you wonder what shape it will turn out to be tomorrow?"

Sorry I mistakenly overlooked at the ip:s. But anyway that is multiple connections and seems that PAM has some concurrency limit and refuses the third connection Thunderbird opens. so you probably have pam_limits with maxlogins=2 enabled.

Need help deduplicating messages fetched with getmail into dovecot mailbox
by Gabriel Kaufmann 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello everyone, I'm using getmail to fetch some external mails from POP3 into a dovecot mailbox (providing IMAP). Getmail seems to have some serious problems keeping track of mails already fetched. I have every Mail exactly twice in my Mailbox delivered by Dovecot. Of course they are not in the original external POP3 Inbox. I hope I'm in right place here. I think the problem is not dovecot related, but getmail. As there is a huge number of user complains about getmail (and obviously no alternative?!) I hope to find some help here for a workaround. I noticed getmail can be configured for some kind of filtering to sort out Mails for local delivery to dovecot. http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/configuration.html#filter-examples Does anyone know how to query the message-id (given by mail-headers) with doveadm? My first test was this: > doveadm fetch -u my-mailbox(a)domain.net "mailbox date.sent" message-id > "<369408722.286104911.1547114312259.Foo.root(a)someone.org>" But then I noticed this is only ment to be used with dovecot internal GUID - I think... Is it possible to query for the mail message-id also? Is it posible to reconfigure indexing to include this propery from the original message-file? I made a small perl-script to extract it using Perl-Lib Email::Simple. > To: my-mailbox(a)domain.net > *Message-ID: <369408722.286104911.1547114312259.Foo.root(a)someone.org>* > Subject: Some test I also already tried the doveadm deduplicate, but this also doesn't work as it is also basing on the internal GUID of dovecot and every duplicate-message seems to have a new, unique GUID. > doveadm deduplicate -u gabriel.kaufmann(a)gmx.net mailbox-guid May be anyone know a better solution. -- Best regards Gabriel Kaufmann

Accidentally deleted .imap folder, how can I reindex?
by Les 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello, I have several users with Maildir format. After upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3, some directories could not be opened from thunderbird. The server log shows all kinds of errors including these: Corrupted record in index cache file /home/user01/Maildir/.Elk&APw-ld&APY-tt/dovecot.index.cache: UID 2802: Broken physical size in mailbox Cached message size larger than expected (18 > 17, box=Sent, UID=2802) While trying to fix the problem, I have accidentally deleted some of the index/cache directories. In particular, Maildir/.Sent/.imap and Maildir/.Sent/cur/.imap folders were deleted, but all of the mail message files are there. When I try to open the "Sent" folder from thunderbird, it does not show all of the messages. It only shows messages until 2019.01.12. If I send out an email from thunderbird, then a new message is copied into the Maildir/.Sent/ folder, but it is not visible from thunderbird. I have already tried to unsubscribe + subscribe to the Sent folder, but it did not work - it re-downloads all messages until 2019.01.12, but not after that. Can I somehow regenerate the index files, force dovecot to recreated .imap foder, and force thunderbird to re-download and show all of the files somehow? Thank you, Laszlo

Please report the problem to ler(a)FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the "/wrkdirs/usr/ports/mail/dovecot/work/dovecot-2.3.4/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command.

Import mailbox from different domain
by Sergio Belkin 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Hi folks, Let's say that I have on dovecot the domain example.net and on MS Exchange example.com. I've tried to import a mailbox from MS Exchange to Dovecot but it fails, I've run: dsync -Dv backup -R -u joe.doe imapc: dsync(joe.doe(a)example.net): Error: imapc(192.168.0.2:993): Authentication failed: AUTHENTICATE failed. Is there a way to submit different domains both on MS Exchange and Dovecot and to make everyone be happy :) ? Thanks in advance -- -- Sergio Belkin LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org
