[Dovecot] sdbox-format and sa-learn(spamassassin)
by Ingo Thierack 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hello, is it somehow possible to use sa-learn on sdbox-mailboxes? Maybe i can use dsync to "mirror" the mailboxes(only the spam-subfolder) to another location and convert it to mbox or maildir and act then on it with sa-learn? I know the antispam-Plugin, but until now no success, to get it running. So I think about an way, to learn via sa-learn on an file which i can process. Regards Ingo

[Dovecot] automatic un-subscribe ?
by Per Jessen 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Is there a way for an unsubscribe from a previously (auto-)subscribed folder? I'm building an email archiving system, and archived mails are organized by annum. A user will have e.g. 3 years of archive available. Currently that would mean this user would be auto-subscribed to private folders named 2007, 2008, 2009 and current. Starting January 2011 though that would change to 2008, 2009, 2010 and current. Is there a way of auto-unsubscribing 2007 ? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Know when a Folder is Expunged or Deleted
by Alex Baule 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi Timo and Everyone.... There is a way to know when a folder it's been deleted ? And if this folder is empty ? Let's explain why... I intercept the expunge function, to treat my files expunged, but when i expunge a folder, this function it's not called, and my emails don't get my treatment to be expunged. Basically i need to do something like this: It's empty ? No --> return OK but Dont Delete folder, because it's not empty. Yes --> Return OK and Delete the Folder to be expunged. Tks !

[Dovecot] Virtual inbox folder bug
by Antonio Henrique Oliveira 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi all, I've been using dovecot as our internal mail server for quite some time. It works very well. Each of our mailboxes have 1000+ messages (some have more than 4-5000 messages). I have recently started using virtual folders and, using an adaptation of an example script in the dovecot site (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual) to have a virtual folder changed to act as inbox. All of my email is delivered in some folder other than the real inbox via sieve scripts. My inbox is, therefore, a virtual folder, which only displays the unread emails on all the folders in the account. Everything works fine *except* that, when I mark an email as read or when I open an email directly on the inbox, it does not disappear from the inbox (as it should since it is not unread after being open or being marked as read). I'm not sure if this is a bug, a "feature", or a misconfiguration.... :) I'm using dovecot 1.2.13 on Debian Etch (installed using the backports repository). Attached is the file with the output of "dovecot -n", the script for the virtual folder and the custom login script to change the virtual folder to act as the inbox. I'm using Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows XP SP3 as the main mail client and also using an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) to access the same account. Regards, -- Anto'nio Henrique A.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.20 on OS X - ACL deliver Problem
by R. Svejda 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I am trying to create an archive postoffice by bcc all e-mail from the "real" mail server to an existing OS X server and by setting all ACL to read-only. Problem: deliver reports: "Fatal: mail_full_filesystem_access=yes is incompatible with ACLs" It seems, that the failure is independent of the existence of an ACL file. I cannot change machines (must be OS X) and I do not like to compile anything on that box (but I could re-configure stuff). Can anybody help how to get around this error with existing hard and software?
