Support of unicode in then recipient names
by Александр Егоров 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi Dovecot Community, We are using ltmp to deliver messages through postfix to dovecot. During testing we have found that dovecot does not understand recipient email address if it is composed from national symbols : e.g. ยจฆฟคฏข(a)xn--22cdfh1b8fsa.xn--22cdfh1b8fsa Question is are there any plans to either add native support for such email addresses or to translate it to punycode and then try to find such a recipient? -- Александр Егоров (Alexander Yegorov)

Syslog PID

Hi! How to write PIDs to syslog? Example: Sep 19 00:57:00 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=< username(a)domainname.com >, method=PLAIN, rip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, lip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, mpid=14407, TLS, session=<6LYlcmYDAQC4reGs> Sep 19 00:57:00 hostname dovecot: pop3( username(a)domainname.com ): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 Sep 19 00:57:09 hostname exim[14423]: 2014-09-19 00:57:09 dovecot_login authenticator failed for s16010629.onlinehome-server.info (User) [82.165.16.9]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=front) Sep 19 00:57:09 hostname exim[14424]: 2014-09-19 00:57:09 dovecot_login authenticator failed for s16010629.onlinehome-server.info (User) [82.165.16.9]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=front I need it because i write all logs to postgresql and analyze them with Adiscon LogAnalyzer. Perhaps, per-process logs entry with PID would be better.

unable to see mail when using telnet / open ssl
by Dave Myers 19 Sep '14

Dear dovecot list. I'm setting up my own VPS and working through getting mail to work. Here is my dovecot -n $dovecot -n maildir:%h/%d/%n/mail : layout=fs # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.3 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_gid = 1002 mail_home = /var/mail/virtual/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail: layout=fs mail_uid = 1002 namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 user = mail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes I can successfully log into dovecot using telnet and open ssl from a remote terminal, so authentication and everything is working fine. From the above dovecot -n I asume that mails should be going to /var/mail/virtual/domain/user/mail However when I view this directory I can see a number of test mails that I have sent using echo "Hello me" | mail -s "Dovecot test" $USER (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/FindMailLocation) Why am I not seeing them when I use telnet / openSSL to log in? All help is greately appreciated. -- Tel: + 33 6 50 14 39 34 email: david.myers.24j74(a)gmail.com Addres: 22 Rue de L'Eglise 77700 Coupvray. 77700 France

negative auth cache?
by Will Yardley 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

I am using Dovecot 2.2.13, which doesn't yet seem to have the $auth_cache_negative parameter. Should the negative cache value honor $auth_cache_ttl then? I had a problem where some of our ldap systems were reinitialized. Some users, presumably those who tried to login while their records were returning a failure, became unable to login after the records were once again returning normally. I currently have: auth_cache_size = 5 M auth_cache_ttl = 5 mins # Not yet implemented #auth_cache_negative = 2 mins yet the problem seemed to persist for more than an hour. Also, how can I flush the cache for a non-default instance's cache using doveadm -- "doveadm auth cache flush" doesn't seem to have an '-a' option AFAICT. # doveadm auth usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] auth <command> [<args>] cache flush w

LDAP and dovecot
by dovecot＠outputservices.com 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

At my company I have users who are now becoming remote and using their mobile devices for email. I use Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86 as an operating system and I now need a more secure email solution than the generic sendmail / imap solution. I want to use dovecot and postfix because I have read good reports on these products for ease of setup and use. I need to use both with SSL certificates and username / passwords for both receiving and sending emails. I am having difficulty getting dovecot to work with my ldap password solution. I have read all the documentation, there is a lot of it, and find it confusing. But I have tried very hard to get the solution to work. I have not compiled postfix because I want to use the dovecot authentication solution it mentions. Therefore I need to get dovecot to work first. I have dovecot 2.2.10 & postfix 2.11.1 with openldap 2.4.33. I have tested dovecot with /etc/passwd /etc/shadow password authentication and password flat files. Those work, but not what I need. I need to use ldap so the users only have to set one password. Below is the information I have. I have created self signed SSL certificates for testing purposes. We will get real SSL certificates once everything is operational. ********* I compiled dovecot with the following command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/tools/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl --with-solr --with-zlib --with-bzlib --with-ldap=yes ------------------------------------------- dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /usr/local/tools/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.10 i86pc base_dir = /dovecot/var/run/dovecot log_path = /dovecot/log/log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/posta:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/posta/index:CONTROL=~/posta/control passdb { args = /dovecot/etc/dovecot/tests/ldap.settings driver = ldap } protocols = imap service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } ssl_cert = </dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </dovecot/certs/dovecot.key ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = /dovecot/etc/dovecot/tests/ldap.settings driver = ldap } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep } ------------------------------------------- /dovecot/etc/dovecot/tests/ldap.settings hosts = ldap.outputservices.com tls = no ldap_version = 3 base = dc=ldap,dc=outputservices,dc=com ------------------------------------------- If I use ldap for passwords: 2014-09-18 09:44:23 master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.10 starting up for imap 2014-09-18 09:44:33 auth: Fatal: LDAP: Buggy LDAP library returned wrong fd: 1 2014-09-18 09:44:33 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs 2014-09-18 09:44:33 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<> , rip=137.106.101.127, lip=137.106.76.215, TLS handshaking, session=<d1Nt3FgD1wCJamV/> 2014-09-18 09:44:48 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=18992 uid=0 code=kill) ------------------------------------------- If I use a flat file for passwords: 2014-09-18 09:42:23 master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.10 starting up for imap 2014-09-18 09:43:05 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<dave>, method=PLAIN, rip=137.106.101.127, lip=137.106.76.215, mpid=16769, TLS, se ssion=<vAny1VgDywCJamV/> 2014-09-18 09:43:05 imap(dave): Debug: Effective uid=6010, gid=131, home=/export/home/sun/dave 2014-09-18 09:43:05 imap(dave): Debug: maildir++: root=/export/home/sun/dave/posta, index=/export/home/sun/dave/posta/index, indexpv t=, control=/export/home/sun/dave/posta/control, inbox=/var/mail/dave, alt= 2014-09-18 09:43:10 imap(dave): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=223 out=1122 2014-09-18 09:43:22 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=17115 uid=0 code=kill) ------------------------------------------- If I use /etc/passwd /etc/shadow for passwords: 2014-09-18 09:39:56 master: Info: Dovecot v2.2.10 starting up for imap 2014-09-18 09:40:14 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<dave>, method=PLAIN, rip=137.106.101.127, lip=137.106.76.215, mpid=13053, TLS, se ssion=<uaT5zFgDwACJamV/> 2014-09-18 09:40:14 imap(dave): Debug: Effective uid=6010, gid=131, home=/export/home/sun/dave 2014-09-18 09:40:14 imap(dave): Debug: maildir++: root=/export/home/sun/dave/posta, index=/export/home/sun/dave/posta/index, indexpv t=, control=/export/home/sun/dave/posta/control, inbox=/var/mail/dave, alt= 2014-09-18 09:41:01 imap(dave): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=219 out=1118 2014-09-18 09:41:33 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=14765 uid=0 code=kill) ------------------------------------------- I am using openldap 2.4.33.

With dovecot I have to put them in a different folder, I called it posta for now. It then makes them . Files. (.Sent, .Trash ?)

If you only want to dump a few auth cache entries, you can just authenticate with a bad password. When a different (and possibly correct password) is supplied, there will be a cache miss and the new credentials will be cached. echo "1 login someuser badpassword\n2 logout" | netcat --ssl your-imap-server:993 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Exit status code 134; what is it, in the context of Dovecot Antispam plug-in?
by Ben Johnson 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hello! I just migrated from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and thereby from Dovecot 2.0.19 to 2.2.9. I've been using dovecot-antispam plugin with great success for the past year with 2.0.19, but after this migration, I've been seeing the exit status code 134 in the syslog when attempting to debug the Dovecot Antispam plugin not working after the migration.

replicator only starts for users who log in at least once
by Alan McGinlay 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi! I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c). All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first (mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server. It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have logged into either of the dovecot servers at least once, is this how it is supposed to work? I was hoping to get full replication of all mail accounts before starting to move users into the new system. Thanks, Alan

Case sensitivity
by John Oliver 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

I think I've answered my last question by changing mail_location But I'm still getting duplicate mailboxes: [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/ total 8 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:30 testuser1 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:36 testUser1 The cn for my user is 'testUser1', and that's where postfix writes mail. But dovecot wants to use 'testuser1', even if I log in as 'testUser1' I suppose one answer may be to try to get postfix to always use lower-case, but in case that can't happen, how can I get dovecot to ignore case when looking for mailboxes? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

Per-folder (per-mailbox) message expiration with control from client side — is it possible?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm migrating from «old skool» solution with one mail client (MUA) on one computer, which retrieves mail via POP3, sorts it and manages it locally to installation when there are several MUAs on different devices, accessing mail via IMAP4, and all sorting and management should be server-side. Sorting is “easy”: sieve. Here are some nuisance (like, if I want to rename folder/mailbox I need to edit script manually. BTW, it looks like that such thing could be done automagically, as language is very simple and find all references to mailboxes is not too hard task), but it works. But is here good solution for expiration? I have abut 50 folders (mailboxes) and rules are very different for them. They are mostly time-based (like "last 30 days"), but some folders are count-limited ("last 2000 messages") and some folders should have time limit but non-read messages could not be deleted at all. Ok, Thunderbird almost could do it (it doesn't have “don't remove unread messages” option), but I don't want to have any meaningful configuration in MUAs, as each of it could be non-active for long time. Only thing I could find about expiration in dovecot documentation is "doveadm expunge" and helper "Expire" plugin, but it looks like very low-level solution for admins, it could not be managed from client side without direct ssh access to server and it is, in general, very inconvenient. Is here any better solution, maybe, 3rd party one? - -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUFf2BXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRGOTZEMUNBMEI1RjQzMThCNjc0QjMzMEFF QUIwM0M1OEJGREM0NzhGAAoJEOqwPFi/3EePphIQAJUlYIFgXWBcWcrejcbOFgYf op+g35YF4wfwboPkgb/mKk46V3lcjmQImcHir2fci0SCsSSfARcU1a8y4iaeSkPU l949PaMYD8stfukfCbXjoY5pD5FIpj1Os7dDtgdoygp0tfsA4mDg1O0exZoduR9s q4NNPlsnlKOjX2KMOdcWI2AR8/xiFi4zvDTB/vibQPMy8kXVB8ld4Mk0BF1TUyOv 80KKOKzFDxQeLzvoEiNm6FDAqYGEYmpECUaFGXyKG1a7wslhEmEeShJUH5lsj3Oz niMxoO/KTEW0U9QucHQogFJzrcsKkJiOByjqQovWKgZziJll38lCN0O1murMmRBC bDLmN9t53JC7Ef88AbKsaFeULy/AxriohdGU6ePb8j/4W9KlERSJyvgxFkcMxHTg 9mSPiYAHaPr+Ycrzs9SOqhki5b6tI8Q39W/etRorb2us9FS1JE7ib4XLk5ufiUje XOLc4TACUh1qnd/5UUgcIuUrg/akSJgJLZoXg36LqUF/1OeMJHec4RMJresvewAZ RwseWHH/KpD7KxOWlO2Zw1ceHlVFDLWOO/4KWoy/XwZ66fQxEAkLO8ZVyeKMh5Nh dYL+yLQKZdgNWAjalK4lFmwz3u/9jNITwtP5GYLbYnP28EcbDfiN/w9oKGOI8fsD ulD+ca3vx29qdmGGYcKt =9+bG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

sieve: is it possible to filter ALL mailing lists (with header List-Id) to their folders with ONE rule?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello, Dovecot. Is it possible to write one rule in sieve, which will: (1) Trigger on any message with "List-Id" header AND (2) Put this message to folder with name build from content of "List-Id" header, in such way, that message with List-Id List-Id: This is decription of list <list-name.host.org> will be put into folder "org.host.list-name" where "." is namespace separator (so, such folders will be shown as hierarchy in mail client)? I don't want to write ~50 rules by hands and add new ones from time to time. I'm speaking about dovecot/pigeonhole sieve implementation, of course. All examples on net shows only manual one-rule-per-list approach :( -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>

Migration - Getting it right the first time.
by Dan Carroll 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello All, I’m currently in the process of migrating a very old imap installation to a new server. I think I have everything in place now but I’ve not yet written the procedure on how to do it. The outline will be as follows: put MTA-OLD into store mode where it holds the incoming emails for an indefinite period. Copy all IMAP data across to the new server. Process the IMAP data, converting it from courier to dovecot. put MTA-OLD into forward mode, sending all mail to MTA-NEW Adjust MX records accordingly so MTA-OLD is no longer used. The “process” part is where I need to take some care. I am aware of the migration tool available for moving the data, but I’m not confidant that my courier databases are in a healthy state. Does anyone have any idea how I can verify that this is the case? I’m happy to do it either before, or after the migration to dovecot, but I’d probably prefer to do it beforehand on the old server. The biggest thing I am concerned about is losing the order of mail messages. It’s not always enough to trust the “received date” for sorting mail, I’d rather my imap clients trust the imap server to send them the correct order. A second question. Is there a possibility to make the MTA switch, and migrate the messages across in an orderly fashion at a later date? Again, I’d like to ensure that older migrated messages appear further down the “order” than new messages coming into the MTA. Lastly, thanks for an awesome piece of software. My limited experience so far has been refreshing! -Dan

Dovecot HA
by Hoggins! 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hello everyone, Following my previous message about replication (I'm still stuck), I was wondering in a more general way how to achieve high availability with Dovecot, and how to store the mail data. Do you have some thoughts about this ? Maybe one or two links leading to people who already have ideas or experience ? I don't host a big e-mail service, nor have a lot of clients connecting. I just need to ensure that data is always available, from the storage to the actual service. Thanks in advance.

charset-specific searches, and continuation lines
by Eric Abrahamsen 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi there, I'm looking into improving IMAP search support for the Gnus Emacs mail client, and trying to add the ability to search non-ascii characters. So far as I know, I start this invocation with something like: . UID SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT {NNN} Where NNN is the number of bytes in my search string. Dovecot then responds with: + OK So... what do I do then? I don't actually know what the next statement is, to provide the actual search string itself. Googling has proved unhelpful, as most of the examples online don't actually show this "+ OK" response. Can someone just briefly outline what's meant to happen next? I've tried including the search string immediately after the byte-size, separated by various combinations of \n\r, but that always gives me a "Missing LF after literal size" error. I'm using the Archlinux dovecot package, which reports version 2.2.13-1. Thanks! Eric

Problem with virtual folders
by Urban Loesch 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hi, I'm trying to activate some virtual folders on a new installed dovecot server. My plan is to have two virtual folders like "All" and perhaps "Unseen", like Gmail style for the first step. - All: lists me all messages in the users mailbox - Unseen: all unseen messages in the users mailbox I'm using dovecot EE Release: ii dovecot-ee-core 1:2.2.13.8-1 amd64 secure mail server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and mdbox mailboxes ii dovecot-ee-imapd 1:2.2.13.8-1 amd64 secure IMAP server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and mdbox mailboxes ii dovecot-ee-lmtpd 1:2.2.13.8-1 amd64 secure LMTP server for Dovecot ii dovecot-ee-managesieved 0.4.3-1 amd64 secure ManageSieve server for Dovecot ii dovecot-ee-mysql 1:2.2.13.8-1 amd64 MySQL support for Dovecot ii dovecot-ee-sieve 0.4.3-1 amd64 sieve filters support for Dovecot But I can't get it to work. I can see the virtual folders in my Thunderbird, but the folders are empty and can't find any errors in mail log. I also tried it with "mail_debug = yes". Below is my doveconf -n: ... # 2.2.13.8 (71cc347a687c+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.4.67-vs2.3.3.9-rol-em64t-efigpt x86_64 Debian 7.6 ext4 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_cache_ttl = 0 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ %p %w disable_plaintext_auth = no login_trusted_networks = $INTERNAL mail_debug = yes mail_gid = mailstore mail_location = mdbox:/home/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/dovecotindex/%d/%n mail_log_prefix = "%s(%u pid:%p session:<%{session}>): " mail_plugins = " quota mail_log notify acl zlib stats virtual" mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = mailstore managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave duplicate mdbox_rotate_size = 15 M namespace { list = children location = mdbox:/home/vmail/%%d/%%n:INDEX=/home/dovecotindex/%%d/%%n prefix = [shared]/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = virtual:/home/virtual:INDEX=MEMORY prefix = [virtual]/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-account.conf driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/home/vmail/%d/shared-mailboxes mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change save mailbox_create append mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size from mail_log_group_events = no quota = dict:Storage used::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule2 = INBOX/Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_max_redirects = 15 stats_command_min_time = 1 mins stats_domain_min_time = 12 hours stats_ip_min_time = 12 hours stats_memory_limit = 32 M stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_session_min_time = 15 mins stats_track_cmds = yes stats_user_min_time = 1 hours zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 9 } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mailstore mode = 0660 user = root } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 25 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 25 service_count = 1 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = * port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 25 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 25 service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/rol/dovecot/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = mailstore } user = mailstore } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0600 user = mailstore } } ssl = no submission_host = localhost:25 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-account.conf driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_fsync = optimized mail_plugins = " quota mail_log notify acl zlib stats virtual sieve zlib" } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_id_log = * imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o session=<%{session}> mail_max_userip_connections = 40 mail_plugins = " quota mail_log notify acl zlib stats virtual imap_quota imap_acl imap_zlib imap_stats" } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = " quota mail_log notify acl zlib stats virtual" pop3_logout_format = bytes_sent=%o top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s uidl_hash=%u session=<%{session}> } ... The virtual folders are stored in "/home/virtual/XXX" and are containg only the file "dovecot-virtual". Like: "/home/virtual/All/dovecot-virtual": <--------------------- * all ---------------------> Note: I just have active virtual folders on a different dovecot server version "2:2.2.13-1~auto+74". I copied the configuration from this server. The only three differences between the two servers are: - Server version is different. - The prefix of the default namespace on the new server is "prefix = INBOX/" and not "prefix =" - Mail storage and index files are seperated in different folders on the new server. Here are the relveant namespace configuraiton from the server where it ist working fine: ... namespace { list = children location = mdbox:/home/vmail/%%d/%%n prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = virtual:/home/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = [rolmail]/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Items" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } ... Have you any hint for me how I can fix my problem. Thanks and regards Urban Loesch
