[Dovecot] [SUGGESTION] Managesieve: Transparent home dir creation
by Felix Leimbach 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.0-beta4's sieve plugin and it works great but here is an idea for improvement: When creating the first sieve script for an account whose home dir does not yet exist then dovecot *does* create that homedir but the sieve client times out. Tried Thunderbird's sieve addon as well as horde's ingo. The log says: dovecot: managesieve-login: Login: user=<me(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: managesieve(me(a)example.com): sieve-storage: sieve_storage_verify_dir(/mnt/data/vmail/dovecot-homedirs/example.com/me//s… failed: File exists dovecot: managesieve(me(a)example.com): Fatal: Failed to open Sieve storage. Because the homedir was created (great!) when I retry the same action then all works perfectly well. So why not make that homedir creation transparent so that the clients' first try succeeds instead of the second try? Cheers, Felix

[Dovecot] dovecot server down, dovecot deliver keeps mail?
by mimosinnet＠gmail.com 03 May '10

03 May '10

My dovecot server was down las friday, and it seems that mails have been lost. This is what I have got in my logs since the server has been down: May 3 03:35:34 generatech dovecot: deliver(mail(a)domain.org): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory I guess that because the server was down dovecot transport could not deliver the mail. Nevertheless, I am wondering if dovecot deliver agent keeps undelivered mail somewhere. Thanks! I have been using this howto for the configuration: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Mail_server_using_Postfix_and_Dovecot This is dovecot 1.2.6, and my configuration: # dovecot -n # 1.2.6: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-hardened-r9 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.1 rootfs listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:52003 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/dovecot.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 8 last_valid_uid: 8 first_valid_gid: 12 last_valid_gid: 12 mail_uid: 8 mail_gid: 12 mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir/:INDEX=/var/mail/%d/%n/indexes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)generatech.org mail_plugins: quota sieve auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: mail group: mail plugin: sieve: /var/mail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/var/mail/%d/%n/sieve -- Ningún Lugar Activisme Cultural per a la Transformació Social Cultural Activism for Social Transformation ningun_lugar(a)riereta.net http://ningunlugar.org/ http://generatech.ningunlugar.org/ http://video.ningunlugar.org

[Dovecot] What causes dovecot to rebuild dovecot-uidlist?
by Pat 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hello, In what situations will Dovecot 1.2.11 rebuild its uidlist? I am using the maildir storage format, and I am also modifying the uidlist manually (so it's possible I could jack* things up). I have found some related code in maildir-uidlist.c: maildir_uidlist_next. 1) Blank filename or UID 0 2) Any UID not being greater than the proceeding UID 3) Any UID being greater than ~4 billion. 4) Any UID being greater than the suggested next uid. 6) If a filename contains a / 7) General header line sanity checking. Are there any other sections of the code that do sanity checks on dovecot-uidlist (for Maildir type storage)? And optionally do you agree that maildir_uidlist_set_corrupted is the best place to watch to see if I have mangled the uidlist? Thanks in advance, Pat * I insert into dovecot-uidlist manually when I deliver new messages, or discover a message that is not in uidlist for some reason. For compatability reasons I maintain a completely separate cache. If there is a better way to keep the uidlist up to date when the user isn't necessarily accessing the account via dovecot imap, I'm open to suggestions. However my situation is fairly unique I think.

[Dovecot] My dovecot does not store Thunderbird flags
by Julien Buratto 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hi all, my Dovecot 1.1.20 does not store flags (I mean, Thunderbird Labels like ToDo, Important and so on..) When logging in via telnet, I get: . examine INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent Junk $Forwarded NotJunk receipt-handled $Label7 $label1 $label2 $label3 $label4 $label5 expired_2w expired_2m delete rimandata forwarded) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. As per Thunderbird mozillazine page about tags (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Tags#IMAP) that's what the issue is. PERMANENTFLAGS should allow /* while in my server it's empty. Could someone point me how can I change this behaviour or some hints ?

[Dovecot] UK Blackberry BIS and Dovecot - 2-way sync
by Lucio Godoy 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hi All; I have search the net and i cannot find any answers or fixes for this issue. I have a RHEL5 server running Dovecot Version 1.2.11 all worked well until i have diceded to subscribe to Vodafone's BIS service (BB Bold 9700). Internally I use outlook, and it does 2-way sync without any issues, but the blackberry only syncs new email and it does not sync deleted emails when I delete them in Outlook. Is there any special setting to allow such synchronisation? My server is secured by a pix firewall with ports 993, and 995 open for email sync (Secure IMAP and Secure Pop), i have setup the blackberry to use port 993. Many thanks for your help.

[Dovecot] 1.0.15 --> 1.2.11 --> got too little data
by Andre Hübner 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Hello, did updates from 1.0.15 to 1.2.11 and is in most cases succesful. Sometimes dovecot leaves errormessage in Log: IMAP(username): FETCH [HEADER] for mailbox INBOX UID 5106 got too little data (copying): 516 vs 528 Until now only Inbox was effected and no other folders. I delete cachesfiles in ~mail/.imap to solve this but is there a way to do this automatical (self healing)? Dovecot could recreate complete caches if there was a difference in calculation. Thanks, Andre
