[Dovecot] where is subscribed list stored?
by Michael Makuch 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

I'm using $ /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 2.0.15 on $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) and version 8 of Thunderbird. I use dovecot locally for internal only access to my email archives, of which I have many gigs of email archives. Over time I end up subscribing to a couple dozen different IMAP email folders. Problem is that periodically my list of subscribed folders get zapped to none, and I have to go and re-subscribe to a dozen or two folders again. Anyone seen this happen? It looks like the list of subscribed folders is here ~/Mail/.subscriptions and I can see in my daily backup that it reflects what appears in TBird. What might be zapping it? I use multiple email clients simultaneously on different hosts. (IOW I leave them open) Is this a problem? Does dovecot manage that in some way? Or is that my problem? I don't think this is the problem since this only occurs like a few times per year. If it were the problem I'd expect it to occur much more frequently. Thanks for any clues Mike

[Dovecot] [PATCH] autoconf small fix

Hi Timo, the attached patch seems to solve a warning from autoconf: libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. Best regards, Luca

[Dovecot] Password auth scheme question with mysql
by Ed W 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi, I have a current auth database using mysql with a "password" column in plain text. The config has "default_pass_scheme = PLAIN" specified In preparation for a more adaptable system I changed a password entry from "asdf" to "{PLAIN}asdf", but now auth fails. Works fine if I change it back to just "asdf". (I don't believe it's a caching problem) What might I be missing? I was under the impression that the password column can include a {scheme} prefix to indicate the password scheme (presumably this also means a password cannot start with a "{"?). Is this still true when using mysql and default_pass_scheme ? Thanks for any hints? Ed W

Dear friends, I try configure a webmail on my server using Postfix + Dovecot + MySQL + Squirrelmail. My system is a Debian6 and dovecot version is: #dovecot --version 1.2.15 But, when I try to access an account on squirrel I recieve this message: “ERROR Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused” Looking for a problem I foud this: #service dovecot start Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotLast died with error (see error log for more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down If you have trouble with authentication failures, enable auth_debug setting. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork This message goes away after the first successful login. . And the status of doveco is: #service dovecot status dovecot is not running ... failed!

by Matteo Cazzador 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hello, i'm using postfix like smtp server, i need to choose an imap server with a special features. I have a customer with 3 different geographic locations. Every locations have a mail server for the same domain (example.com) If user1(a)example.com receive mail form external this mail going on every locations server. I've a problem now, is it possible to syncronize the state (mail flag) of user1 imap folder mails on every mail locations server? Example, if user1 read a mail on server one is it possible to change flag of the same mail file on server 2 and server 3? Is it possible to use dsync for it? I need something like imap cluster. Or an action in post processing imap mail read. I can't use distribuited file system. Thank's a lot -- Rispetta l'ambiente: se non ti è necessario, non stampare questa mail. ****************************************** Ing.

[Dovecot] v2.1.rc5 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc5.tar.gz.sig I'm still lagging behind reading emails. v2.1.0 will be released after I've finished that. RC5 is already stable and used in production, but I want to make sure that I haven't missed anything important that was reported previously. Most of the recent fixed bugs existed also in v2.0 series. Changes since rc3: * Temporary authentication failures sent to IMAP/POP3 clients now includes the server's hostname and timestamp. This makes it easier to find the error message from logs. + auth: Implemented support for Postfix's "TCP map" sockets for user existence lookups. + auth: Idling auth worker processes are now stopped. This reduces error messages about MySQL disconnections. - director: With >2 directors ring syncing might have stalled during director connect/disconnect, causing logins to fail. - LMTP client/proxy: Fixed potential hanging when sending (big) mails - Compressed mails with external attachments (dbox + SIS + zlib) failed sometimes with bogus "cached message size wrong" errors. (I skipped rc4 release, because I accidentally tagged it too early in hg.)
