[Dovecot] Setting hierarchy separator
by ksrini9＠yahoo.com 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

I am trying to convert my maildir mail store to dbox using dsync (using "dsync -u username convert dbox:/mailstore2/dbox"). I get the following error message: dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace). My problem is that I do not know how to set separator in 10-mail.conf. I would appreciate any pointers. Here is the output from dovecot -n: # 2.0.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.el5 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) ext3 auth_cache_size = 20480 auth_cache_ttl = 7200 s base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:/mailstore/dovecot/maildir/%u maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes passdb { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster@localhost protocols = imap service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 67108864 } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks, Srini

[Dovecot] Upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3
by Jerrale G 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

What has changed in 2.0.3 to make dovecot start storing the inbox in a "com" subdirectory of "user@domain"directory in the inbox folder? I am guessing I need to add ":INBOX=/home/mail/%d/%n/mail/" to: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n/mail:CONTROL=/home/mail/control/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/mail/index/%d/%n The inbox was never defined as it automatically put the messages in either "cur" or "new" subdirectories of the "maildir" definition. Because it automatically used subdirectories, it was not a problem for it to use the "maildir" as both the Inbox directory and the directory to hold the other directories created by the user; so, I never defined the inbox. The mysql query is: user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/') AS home, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/', mailboxes.username, '.sieve') as sieve, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/') as sieve_dir, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/mail/') AS maildir, 600 AS uid, 600 AS gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', ROUND(mailboxes.quota/1200), 'M') AS quota_rule, 'Trash:ignore' AS quota_rule2 FROM mail.mailboxes WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND active = '1' iterate_query = SELECT concat(mailboxes.username, '@', mailboxes.domain) AS user, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/') AS home, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/mail/') AS maildir FROM mail.mailboxes I was looking at another thread and saw where the names of dovecot fields, such as "userdb_maildir", have been prefixed with userdb to equal "userdb_maildir". Please Let me know of any changes, or additions, I need to do above. As said, I'm guessing I need to just add ":INBOX=/home/maill/%d/%n/mail/" to dovecot.conf or add ", CONCAT('/home/mail', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxex.username, '/mail/') AS INBOX" to the mysql query. Am I correct? Thanks Jerrale G. SC Senior Admin

[Dovecot] Does Director only work with dovecot proxy?
by Edward Carraro 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

I was reading "conf.d/10-director.conf" and it mentions Dovecot proxy. I've been using perdition in the past for my pop/imap proxying needs and wasn't sure if Director could also use perdition or if it only works with Dovecots proxying. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Creating 'trash' folder
by Jerry 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

This might well be OT; however, I thought I would ask anyway. Please keep in mind that the IMAP server is Dovecot. I have a friend who uses Becky Internet Mail <http://www.rimarts.co.jp/becky.htm> on a Windows system. There us an options under the configuration menu in Becky to create the trash folder on the server. It suggest ".trash" for the name. He is aware that I use Dovecot and wanted to know if that would actually work. He claims to have activated that option in Becky; however, the trash folder was never actually created, or at least he was unable to locate it. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. I could gather more information, but I doubt that this really has anything to do with Dovecot anyway. -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Plain-Text & CRAM-MD5
by Leander S. 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi there, I'm currently running my auth against CRAM-MD5 only. But I face problems with customers who apparently have smart phones which ONLY support plain-text authentification ;( Bad - I know, but what should I do ... ;/ So my question now is: Is it possible to run CRAM-MD5 as well as Plain-Text auth together with Postfix if Postfix is using Dovecot's SASL auth service? Cause that's how my setup currently looks like - except the plain-text auth ... Thanks & Regards

[Dovecot] recursive locks
by Mike Abbott 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

How can a dovecot-2 plugin safely use file-locks or file-dotlocks when the processes into which it plugs handle multiple connections? (Via, e.g., service imap { client_limit = N service_count = 0 }) Dovecot's file-locks and file-dotlocks do not appear to support nesting/recursion. For instance, squat_trie_lock(). Imagine one user is connected to a single imap process twice.

[Dovecot] Expunged GUID mismatch for UID error
by Xavier Pons 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi, we have upgraded from v2.0.1 to v2.0.3 yesterday, trying to solve the "dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry" errors. Now, at the moment, we don't get these errors, but when I try to expunge mails from my trash folder I get a lot of errors: Sep 23 14:24:51 imap1 dovecot: imap(user): Error: Mailbox Trash: Expunged GUID mismatch for UID 20193: 442b5ef0c3d3bf3cf4cb619944dce8e4 vs 0431b9bee05471199fabbc05af3a87a5 (with different GUIDs, and UIDs) and the mails are not expunged from Trash mailbox. Also, I have tried with "doveadm force-resync -u user Trash" and "doveadm expunge -u user mailbox Trash ALL" but not resolve the problem... Thanks Xavier Pons
