[Dovecot] body search very slow since upgrade from 1.0.15 to 1.2.10
by Stan Hoeppner 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Did you mislead me Timo? You said search in 1.1+ is faster than 1.0. I'm seeing approximately 20x *slower* search times in 1.2.10. Via Thunderbird, a full body search of my 11,000+ message IMAP folder hosted by 1.0.15 used to take less than 10 seconds. Since upgrading to 1.2.10 the search is taking over 3 minutes, the imap process servicing the client pegging one CPU at 100% for the duration of the search. Here's the mbox file: -rw------- 1 stan stan 50M Feb 23 07:41 1-Spam-l Doing the same search via grep results in a time of: real 0m0.361s user 0m0.204s sys 0m0.140s grep takes less than half a second, yet dovecot 1.2.10 takes 3 minutes for the same search? Actually grep is searching the entire file including headers, so it's doing more work than the imap process. Something is *SERIOUSLY* wrong here. Did I somehow nerfed something in dovecot.conf that's causing this? I deleted all the index files as per the upgrade instructions. However, checking the directories shows they're apparently rebuilt: [08:09:15][root@greer]/home/stan/mail/.imap/1-Spam-l$ la total 28M drwx------ 2 stan stan 4.0K Feb 23 07:41 . drwx------ 35 stan stan 4.0K Feb 15 11:14 .. -rw------- 1 stan stan 358K Feb 23 07:18 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 stan stan 27M Feb 23 07:41 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 stan stan 616 Feb 23 07:41 dovecot.index.log What do I need to check/change/do to get these search times back down to reasonable/respectable levels, i.e. around 10s? Thanks. -- Stan

[Dovecot] 1.2.10: namespaces and still no luck
by Toni Mueller 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, I'm trying to set Dovecot up in a way that is compatible with console usage of the same mailboxes (ie, w/o IMAP). My mailboxen are almost all maildirs (I can ignore all other formats), and are laid out as follows: INBOX = ~/Maildir All other folders are maildirs in ~/Mail Eg. ~/Mail/archive, ~/Mail/sent, ~/Mail/some-mailing-list I configured this, along the lines of http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces: # I unset 'mail_location' namespace private { separator = '/' prefix = location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = archives/ location = maildir:~/Mail hidden = no #subscriptions = yes inbox = no list = yes } which I thought should do it, but it doesn't. In TB (3, if it matters), I see: Inbox Trash archives Trash Inbox (shaded) directory (shaded) And that's about it. I don't see any of the pre-existing maildirs in ~/Mail. I also can't delete the two additional "Inbox" and "Trash" folders, and I can't subscribe to the second "Inbox", nor to "directory". I proceeded to create a new folder under "archives", which mostly ended up to be a new maildir + index files under ~/Mail, but it had a '.' in front of it. Also, the separator was automatically reset to '.' for the second namespace, as I found out when I renamed one of the directories from 'dir.1' to '.dir.1'. Am I still doing something wrong, or is this a bug or limitation in Dovecot, or in this version of it? Kind regards, --Toni++

[Dovecot] Occasional problem with POP3-Download
by Andre Tann 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hello everyone, I have two mailservers [1] running dovecot. Mail store format is maildir. Every once in a while I have the following problem: When a User downloads his mail via POP3, the client says something like "the server has closed the connection unexpectedly, and gives this reason: [...blahblah...]". One can now cancel the download, and restart it, and the problem shows up again and again. The first few mails get downloaded, and then the process stops. Strange to say the "blahblah"-portion is a piece of text out of the email that doesn't want to get downloaded. Then I remove this single message out of the Maildir/cur-directory, and everything is fine again. It is easy to figure out which mail to delete because it's the first one that is not market as seen [...] filename...:2,S otherfilename...;2, <= this file must be deleted [...] For me it looks as if dovecot had a problem with some byte sequence in this mail, and for some reason it gives an error message to the client which is taken out of the mail. On the SuSE-Machine, before dovecot there was a courier-imapd running, which never showed this kind of problem, so it should not be a client problem. Hopefully my description is clear enough. Does anyone have an idea what's going on here? Thanks. Andre [1] One machine is a openSuSE 11.2 with # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot12-backend-sqlite-1.2.9-0.1.1.i586 dovecot12-backend-mysql-1.2.9-0.1.1.i586 dovecot12-backend-pgsql-1.2.9-0.1.1.i586 dovecot12-1.2.9-0.1.1.i586 The other machine is a Debian Lenny with # dpkg -l | grep dovecot dovecot-common 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 dovecot-imapd 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 dovecot-pop3d 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 -- Andre Tann

[Dovecot] managesieve build error
by Bradley Giesbrecht 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hello, dovecot-1.2.10 dovecot-sieve-0.1.14 dovecot-managesieve-0.11.11 I believe I patched dovecot successfully and compiled the dovecot and dovecot-sieve source tress. patching file README.managesieve patching file dovecot-example.conf patching file src/master/child-process.c patching file src/master/child-process.h patching file src/master/listener.c patching file src/master/login-process.c patching file src/master/mail-process.c patching file src/master/main.c patching file src/master/master-settings-defs.c patching file src/master/master-settings.c patching file src/master/master-settings.h Then I configure dovecot-managesieve and this completes without error. But when I make dovecot-managesieve I get this error: # Making all in managesieve .... main.c:195: error: variable 'managesieve_sieve_env' has initializer but incomplete type # Where should I be looking for a solution? Thank you, Bradley Giesbrecht

[Dovecot] v2.0 IMAP Capabilities announcement
by Thomas Leuxner 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, I have an Android Mail App which worked fine with IDLE pushes before (K-9 Mail) under 1.2.10. With 2.0 beta 3 it seems to be looking for an IDLE prompt from the server, otherwise it will disable connection idling (whether this is valid or not). Setting 'imap_capability = IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID IDLE ENABLE' does the trick, but is it possible to add additional values to the default reply like this? imap_capability = +IDLE ...or whatever syntax/form one would chose to preserve internal defaults. Thanks Thomas

[Dovecot] show only subscribed folders
by Frank Cusack 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

is there a plugin or some other method by which i could have a user ONLY have access to subscribed folders? having a separate login or a separate instance of dovecot is ok if necessary. the iPhone always shows ALL folders, not just subscribed ones. i'd like to be able to see only the subscribed folders.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.beta3 Configuration issue (I think)
by Mark Sapiro 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

I have been running dovecot 1.2.10 without problems. I am trying to install 2.0.beta3. I have I think translated all my configuration customizations correctly, but I have problems. I can start dovecot, but I can't login, at least not with SSL. Here's my dovecot -n # 2.0.beta3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 CentOS release 5 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain apop login auth_worker_max_count = 5 mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl dotlock passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd deny = no driver = passwd-file master = no pass = no } passdb { deny = no driver = pam master = no pass = no } ssl_cert = /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem ssl_key = /etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Note the files /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem and /etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem exist and are the same files I use with dovecot 1.2.

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta3 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta3.tar.gz.sig I had to break a few APIs in this release to get some other stuff implemented and fixed. And since I had to break some of them, I decided it could be a good time to do some other less necessary API cleanups. This made things again much simpler. I'm hoping to get v2.0.rc1 out in not too distant future. Pretty much the only big missing feature that I wanted to do is being able to add per-protocol auth settings (e.g. protocol smtp { userdb { .. } }), but that doesn't seem to be all that easy to implement. There are of course some bugs still left to be fixed, mainly related to mdbox and dsync. User visible changes: - imap_zlib plugin implements COMPRESS=DEFLATE IMAP extension - zlib plugin: Added support for compressing mails while saving - zlib plugin: fixed reading bzip2 compressed mail files - zlib plugin: Added support for dbox and mdbox formats - mdbox: doveadm purge moves old mails to alt storage (if using alt storage) - added support for tcpwrappers - added support for SHA512 password scheme (by Mark Washenberger) - mailbox deletion is now free of race conditions (e.g. quota calculations). if another session tries to access mailbox before it's fully deleted, it'll get "Mailbox is being deleted" error. - "key = $set" in config file now sets key's value to "set" setting's value. this is probably rather limited outside the only place where I created it for: service { user = $default_internal_user } - default_internal_user and default_login_user settings now specify what users should be used for them. currently the default is still dovecot and dovecot, but I'm hoping to change default_login_user to something else.. - Removed maildir_copy_preserve_filename setting. It's now always tried to be preserved (or rather: message's GUID is preserved) - auth failure penalty tries to avoid increasing penalty for IP if auth is failing always with the same user+password combination. - doveadm penalty command can be used to see the current penalties - login processes: config lookups are now cached, so it no longer asks for configuration from config process every time (except if there are remote {} blocks in config. also the local {} caching could be smarter.) - Tons of mdbox fixes - Tons of dsync fixes, especially with mbox So some of the changes visible to developers are: - dovecot-config file changed. if your external plugin uses this file, you need to change it to use the new format. - added dovecot.m4 file that can be used by external plugins' configure script to get Dovecot settings. This was mainly done by Dennis Schridde. - mailbox_alloc() no longer has stream parameter, instead there's mailbox_open_stream() - mailbox_close() renamed to mailbox_free(). added a different mailbox_close(), which only closes opened mailbox, but doesn't free it. - mailbox_delete(), mailbox_rename() APIs changed - notify plugin's delete/rename API changed as well - mailbox GUID is now looked up using mailbox_get_guid(), not mailbox_status() - dict_iterate*() API changed
