by Jonathan Siegle 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

I'm reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Install . I already use mercurial queues. These are the steps I see to install: hg clone http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2 cd dovecot-1.2 hg clone http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-patch .hg/ patches hg qpush Do the steps change? Thanks, Jonathan

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP-Quotas

Hi Timo, I solved the problem. The problem was the right order in dovecot.conf. "userdb ldap" should stand in front of "userdb static".

[Dovecot] Secondary groups from ldap
by Ian Levesque 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hello, I'm trying to configure my user_attrs using LDAP as the userdb so that dovecot knows what secondary groups a user is a member of. The LDAP backend is an Open Directory implementation, which stores secondary group affiliations as memberUid attributes in cn=groupname,cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server. With ldapsearch, my query would be: ldapsearch -x -b cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server "(memberUid=ian)" cn Is this possible to configure in Dovecot? Thanks, Ian

[Dovecot] Upgrade Question about mail_location
by John Dubchak 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, I plan on upgrading from 1.1.13 to 1.2.4 using an RPM. I have read the wiki [1] and have a question about the mail_location variable. Currently, in 1.1.13, I use: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h with virtual mailboxes. However, I am planning to change it to use: home=/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes mail_location = maildir:%h as part of the new configuration. Is that correct or have I misinterpreted the wiki? Thanks, John [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2

[Dovecot] signal 10 error under dovecot 1.1.8
by Thomas M Goerger 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, We're seeing a new error under Dovecot 1.1.8 that we haven't seen before. Sep 14 09:00:10 hostname dovecot: [ID 684838 local6.error] child 638 (imap) killed with signal 10 This is being seen under dovecot 1.1.8, on Solaris 10u6. This is the only server we've got running this software. We're not seeing this on any of our other 5 servers running the 1.1.x series. Namely 1.1.6 on Solaris 10u6. Any idea what might be causing this error to pop up?

[Dovecot] 1.2.5: quota.c + quota_fs.c crashs dovecot
by Ralf Becker 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi Timo, "quota.c" calls "root->backend.v.init_limits(root)", but "quota_fs.c" initializes this with NULL. On AIX e.g. this results in core dumping imap with SIGILL. I've attached a (quick and dirty) patch. Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] General question for Dovecot under OpenBSD
by jean-francois 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello All, First of all thanks a lot for providing a quality software such as Dovecot. I am having troubles for setting up the config files of OpenBSD's binary package of Dovecot, flavor sieve/mysql. Do you know where some documentation could be found for setting up correctly the .conf (dovecot.conf & dovecot-sql.conf) since it does not even load ("Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 871: Unknows setting: args"). I shall understand that the problem lies in dovecot-sql.conf, which is not a file I understand well and can configure correctly, as it seems. Some more docs/infos about this issue could be helpful. Thks, JF

[Dovecot] Thunderbird does not find the right folders :-(
by sterkel＠gmx.de 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Moika, Overnight, I migrated my user-mails from uw-imap to dovecot-maildir. I used the uw2dovecot.pl script to convert all mails and changed exim, too. Receiving mails works fine allready, but nobody can access the usual subscribed folders with thunderbird. Via "subscriptions" I can find the converted folders in a folder called "_" (underline). People getting mad about me as the cannot find their stuff any more in the usual folders. What can I do that they have the converted stuff in the same folders as they had before?
