[Dovecot] Sieve, before script - Can it include "personal" scripts?
by Steve Fatula 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Using sieve_before, can the script it references include a file from the personal space? I want to set some parameters (by user using the variables extension) there to control what the before script does, so, every user would have the file in their personal include space. If not, is there another way? Can the sieve_before and sieve_global_path be set from userdb extra fields?

[Dovecot] BestPractice to migrate imap mailbox from one machine to another
by Tobias Hachmer 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hi list, currently I use dovecot v1.2.15 with maildir++ mailboxes. (Debian Squeeze) I want to set up a different server with dovecot v2, also maildir++ mailboxes. (also Debian Squeeze) What is the best way to copy the existing mailboxes from the older machine running dovecot v1.2.15 to the new naked machine? Greetz, Tobias

[Dovecot] debug user's message retrieval
by Костырев Александр Алекс еевич 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hi there! Is there any method to log user's activity with pop3 service? I'll try to explain situation: In maillog I saw that my dovecot lmtp saved four letters in user's mailbox. After a while I got a call from that user saying that he received nothing. Is there any method to log that that user RETR every single letter, maybe with full names of letter's id or something like that?

What webmail is this? It's Horde webmail. Webmail does pop. Yahoo and Gmail do it too. When I first set up the server, it did it on first login - obviously because the server had changed but it's doing it once a week now (and in fact, it did it twice today). It's not fatal, no one will die. It is a PITA though. Simon

[Dovecot] Mails repopping
by Simon Brereton 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the webmail client repop this account 4 times (there are about 230 mails in the account). Is there a setting I need to tighten to prevent/remedy this? I have no idea if it's happening on other accounts, but this is one that I see. The format is maildir. There has been no changes to the webmail client. Thanks. Simon

[Dovecot] Quota fs (ignore mount)

> I set "quota: fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/spool/mail", but receive: "fs quota add storage dir = /home/pit/mail"... > Why ? Well .. I'm not entirely sure if the current behavior is good or not, but what you need to do to get it working is to add two quota roots. One for /home/pit/mail (i.e. without specifying mount=) and another for the INBOX's /var/spool/mail.
