[Dovecot] Maildir hardlinks with sieve
by Benedetto Vassallo 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, First of all, excuse me for my previous posts (Maildir hardlinks). Today I realized the following issue. Maildir hardlinks works OK on dovecot 2.1.10 without sieve. If set sieve plugin in dovecot-lmtp hardlinks stop working. Is there a way to have both sieve and hardlinks working?

[Dovecot] namespace subscription problem
by Holger Hegmanns 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, my problem seems to be a cosmetic one (again). According to the docs: subscriptions: "yes" (default) if this namespace should handle its own subscriptions. If "no", then the first parent namespace with subscriptions=yes will handle it. Therefore is no way to create the following scenario: three namespaces (private, shared, public) the private namespace has to handle its own subscriptions the private namespace setup with "prefix = INBOX." the both shared and public namespace setup with "subscriptions = no" cause there is no so called "parent" namespace. Private namespace setup with "prefix = " works fine, but that's not what I want. namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/vmail/public subscriptions = no } namespace inbox { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = user.%%u. location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Any chance that the private namespace can subscribe to shared mailboxes with the principals above? ... Few hours later. Added a default namespace without any prefix: namespace { prefix = separator = . hidden = yes subscriptions = yes } Subscriptions works as expected, but when I telnet to dovecot now the LSUB command shows all boxes beneath the INBOX as well as without the prefix: b lsub "" * * LSUB () "." "Sent" * LSUB () "." "Templates" * LSUB () "." "Trash" * LSUB () "." "Drafts" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Sent" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Templates" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Trash" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.user.bar.Sent" * LSUB () "." "user.bar.Sent" b OK Lsub completed. Completely stuck Holgert

[Dovecot] migration to dovecot pop3
by Rajesh M 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

hi i am planning to migrate from qmail pop3 to dovecot pop3 the number of users on the server is large over 5000 also data volume is large - over 3.5 tb -- ie many users several 1000s of emails in their inbox email clients used are outlook / outlook express / windows mail, etc my questions 1) will the migration cause all the emails on the server to re-download 2) can dovecot be configured to allow only one download at a time - pop3 locking with time out setting that can be customized 3) can dovecot pop3 be configured so that it will allow download of emails only of the last say 15 days ie even if the same pop3 user is configure on another machine it will download only messages of the last 15 days 4) has anybody migrated from qmail pop3 to dovecot pop3 successfully without emails being downloaded again thankyou very much in advance rajesh

[Dovecot] environment variables not set

hi, all! I try to use relay-ctrl with dovecot's imap, but with no luck. I think that the problem is with environment variables. Here are some information: dovecot --version 2.1.12 dovecot -n # 2.1.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.29-smp i686 Slackware 14.0 auth_mechanisms = plain login debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 89 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = shadow } protocols = imap service imap { executable = /usr/local/bin/envdir /etc/relay-ctrl /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-chdir /usr/local/bin/dovecot-settcpremoteip /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-allow /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } /usr/local/bin/dovecot-settcpremoteip: #!/bin/sh # # Wrapper for relay-ctrl-allow that sets TCPREMOTEIP.

[Dovecot] Upload / migrate old mails: iPhone shows oldest mails first
by Denny Schierz 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

hi, I've got a very strange behavior: I uploaded old mails from a local folder (thunderbird / osx) to my Dovecot (Debian Squeeze) and now, the iphone (ios6) show the oldest mails first. The only thing I can imagine is, that Dovecot got from Thunderbird the newest mails first and last the old mails, so that in the last mdbox are the old one. So, if it is correct, how can I fix it? cu denny

[Dovecot] Too many imap connections in state "idling"
by 3.listas＠adminlinux.com.br 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi, I have a "Ubuntu12.04 + dovecot-2.0.19" configuration in my server. My mailbox server is shared by ~ 10k domains. It works fine with ~50k accounts. On average, my server has about 6K simultaneous imap connections during office hours. But I've noticed that this server has an average of approximately 4k connections in state "idling". On other Dovecot servers the average connections in state "idling" is only 10%. My doveconf -n: http://thiagoh.prv.digirati.com.br/doveconf-n.txt Can someone help me? Thanks -- Thiago Henrique adminlinux.com.br

[Dovecot] Dsync help, new attempt
by Torbjorn Astlind 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

I observe that dsync fills Maildir correctly incl. cur, if I delete Maildir just before dsync runs. Can the failed mbox to Maildir conversion be caused by dovecot creating Maildir automatically if a client connects to dovecot? Should dovecot be shutdown when running dsync? All the best, Torbjörn 9. dsync help?

Message-ID: <50C600B4.4040603(a)dbb.su.se> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi all, I have dovecot serving aprox 200 users through mbox, but the time has come to migrate to a new server, and to use Maildir. Using rsync from the old server I get all user data, i.e /home/*, and inboxes i.e /var/mail/* to a new server. This has worked well for some time as backup. The dsync should convert everything to Maildir, and it does... to an extent. (linebrakes for easy viewing) What I see, is that often, the /home/mail/xxx is NOT resulting in /home/xxx/Maildir/cur All mailboxes from /home/xxx, are properly converted to /home/xxx/Maildir/.name_of_ box Am I misunderstanding something? I get it to work sometimes if I delete the ~/Maildir completely before doing the dsync.

[Dovecot] Advice on sieve vacation for aliases
by Marcio Merlone 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Greetings, I have a working mail server with sieve 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.5 working just fine. My commercial dept. has asked me to set a vacation message for comercial(a)domain.tld, but this is an alias to jhon(a)domain.tld and meggie(a)domain.tld. I have created a sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/global.sieve and it works, but not the intended way: it sends two vacation messages, each From: each employee, and not From: comercial(a)domain.tld alias. Is there how to make dovecot send only one vacation message From: comercial(a)domain.tld or will I have to survive with one message from jhon and another from meggie? Also, is there how to have a dovecot.lda-dupes for the alias instead the users? /etc/dovecot/global.sieve: require ["vacation"]; # rule:[Ferias coletivas] if anyof (header :contains "To" "comercial(a)domain.tld") { vacation :days 7 :subject "Férias coletivas de 20/12/2012 a 07/01/2013" text: bla bla bla. ; stop; } Thanks in advance and nice holidays. -- Marcio Merlone
