[Dovecot] Cannot STORE \Seen flag on some mails
by Frerich Raabe 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 on FreeBSD (exact output of 'dovecot -n' is atttached to this mail). The machine is serving a public mailinglist archive which is read-only; all mail arriving for the archive is marked as \Seen using Sieve script. This setup works well most of the time, but I noticed that for *some* mails, the \Seen flag doesn't seem to be stored. Right now I have 31255 mails in one of my folders and I can't seem to mark five of them as \Seen - the others work just fine. I first suspected a client issue so I did a little IMAP session by hand: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. . LOGIN "xxxxxx" "yyyyyy" . OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in . SELECT "Lists/Archive/squish" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $NotJunk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 31250 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 27126] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1350573750] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 31265] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 9512] Highest . OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. . SEARCH UNSEEN * SEARCH 27126 27127 28484 29835 29838 . OK Search completed (0.000 secs). . STORE 27126 FLAGS \SEEN . OK Store completed. . SEARCH UNSEEN * SEARCH 27126 27127 28484 29835 29838 . OK Search completed (0.000 secs). . LOGOUT * BYE Logging out . OK Logout completed. Note how the first 'SEARCH UNSEEN' command shows that '27126' is unseen, the subsequent 'STORE' command succeeds - but then 'SEARCH UNSEEN' still shows 27126 as unseen! I have all four logging levels being piped to /var/log/maillog (I verified this by running dovecot --log-error) but the file does not show any problems. I checked the file permissions of the Maildir directories, and it all looks dandy to me. Does anybody have some suggestions how to debug this further, or what the reason for this may be? -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

[Dovecot] dsync: error with hierarchy separator
by Jakub Jedelsky 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi list! I have a problem with transfering mails from mbox to maildir format. On dovecot wiki I found a dsync tool, which looks good, but returns me an error: # dsync -u mail(a)example.com mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/virtuser_808 dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) I found a solution with namespaces, but it doesn't work for me, there is still same error - I tried to add "-o separator=/" as option or add it to config file as mentioned there [1]. Can you push me to any solution? My dovecot -n: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { autocreate = Spam autosubscribe = Spam sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { mail_plugins = autocreate } [1] http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-September/053186.html Thanks a lot. -jj

[Dovecot] Message Flag definitions
by Chris Dutton 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello, I am in charge of migrating our mail system from dovecot to another server, and I am having to write a script to do this as tools like imapsync are too slow. What I am trying to find is the definitions of the flags that dovecot adds to the Maildir file name it uses for the IMAP messages. For example what the a and b mean in the following: 1176236036.P7260Q1438.sucia:2,RSab I am looking for all definitions not just a and b. Thanks Chris chris(a)rosepointnav.com

[Dovecot] How can I force FTS reindexing?
by Dave Abrahams 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I threw out my lucene-indexes folder because it seemed to be missing something, and I figured it would get regenerated. Unfortunately, dovecot is only FTS-indexing new mails that come in. Is there a way to get it to reindex everything? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost

I'm pretty sure, but I've run it again, confirmed that the imap-login process is using 100% of a CPU until I kill it, and have attached the tcpdump. Looks like one packet from SERVER to CLIENT shifted slightly in chronology, but otherwise the same. >>> #ifdef SO_ISDEFUNCT >>> + if (getsockopt(proxy->fd_ssl, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ISDEFUNCT, >>> + (void *)&err, sizeof(err)) == 0 && err) { >>> + errstr = t_strdup_printf( >>> + "%s: socket is defunct", func_name); >>> + break; >>> + } >>> +#endif >> >> Nope, SO_ISDEFUNCT isn't defined. > > Oh, sorry, that needs > > #include <sys/socket.h> > > at the top.

I've got both 10.7 and 10.8 SDKs in Xcode and neither have SO_ISDEFUNCT defined in sys/socket.h (or anywhere else in the usr/include directories) -- there's a SS_DEFUNCT mask defined in sys/socketvar.h -- is that what you're looking for?

[Dovecot] Update configuration for separate mail directory
by eehmke 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I have a small mail server with virtual users. In my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10- mail.conf I have this setting: mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u which is also the home location of each user. Now I learned that this is not the prefered configuration, and in fact some of my sieve subdirectories are mistaken as mail directories. While I understand that I have to create separate mail subdirectories in each user folder, I am not sure where I have to adapt the dovecot configuration files. I could not find a guide, only some scattered hints and of course http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home I guess I have to shut down the server for the reconfiguration, or is there a way to do it on a life system?

[Dovecot] When are search indexes updated?
by David Abrahams 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I noticed that occasionally searching in my huge archive mailbox can be really slow, so I tried doveadm index on it and it seemed to do a lot of work, which seemed strange given, for example, that dovecot-lda says it keeps Dovecot index files up-to-date. Then I thought, "maybe these are different files than the search indices." If so, that's not entirely clear from the docs and Wiki. So, questions: * When are search indexes updated? * Are they updated incrementally? * If not, why not? * If so, why would a mailbox's index drift out-of-date, as mine had? BTW, I'm using the clucene search backend. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
