[Dovecot] Incorrect listing of shared mailbox names
by Markus Werner 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

After the LOGIN do STATUS "User/somemailbox": a0007 STATUS "INBOX/Rechnung" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT) a0008 STATUS "User/lists(a)example.com/Announce" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT) a0009 STATUS "User/system(a)example.com/INBOX-root" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT) a0010 STATUS "User/test(a)example.com/Shared" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT) a0011 STATUS "User/system(a)example.com/INBOX-mueller" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT) * STATUS "INBOX/Rechnung" (RECENT 0 UIDNEXT 82 UIDVALIDITY 1225738300 UNSEEN 0) a0007 OK Status completed. * STATUS "User/lists(a)example.com/Announce" (RECENT 0 UIDNEXT 103 UIDVALIDITY 1240061761 UNSEEN 0) a0008 OK Status completed. * STATUS "User/system(a)example.com/INBOX-root" (RECENT 0 UIDNEXT 4 UIDVALIDITY 1240060869 UNSEEN 0) a0009 OK Status completed. * STATUS "User/test(a)example.com/Shared" (RECENT 0 UIDNEXT 3 UIDVALIDITY 1225742113 UNSEEN 0) a0010 OK Status completed. * STATUS "User/system(a)example.com/INBOX-mueller" (RECENT 0 UIDNEXT 80 UIDVALIDITY 1240060873 UNSEEN 0) a0011 OK Status completed. The first listing of "User/%" also lists the first folder of each user, which has been polled by STATUS before.

[Dovecot] How do I get my mail from fetchmail into dovecot?
by Michael Steinbeck-Reeves 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I have dovecot (with squirrel mail etc.) running without any problems but cannot understand how to get e-mail from a pop server into dovecot. I have fetchmail configured to pick up the mail from the pop3 server but don't understand how to get it from there into my dovecot mbox structure. New to mail servers! Thanks, Michael.

[Dovecot] Quota: ldap dict
by Marcio Merlone 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi, I have set a dovecot-1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.1 server on top of a Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box and everything goes fine. All my users are on a LDAP database integrated via nss_ldap, so from the dovecot point of view they are all local system users. Now I want to set maildir quota for everybody, and was wondering if I could store quota limits per user on LDAP. As I read on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, there seem to be no way to do that, am I right? It is ok for me to manage the current usage on Maildir++, but would like to retrieve the quota information from the LDAP server. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for any hint or rtfm. Best regards. -- Marcio Merlone

[Dovecot] Dovecot v2.0 hg tree
by Timo Sirainen 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/ I just did the initial commit for master process rewrite, which marks the beginning of Dovecot v2.0. Several things are still missing/broken, but at least I was just able to successfully log in using imap :) I left v1.3 hg tree there for now, but once v2.0 tree is fully usable I'll just delete the v1.3 tree. Note the new dovecot-master-example.conf, which you'll need to !include to get the services running. Some settings have also been removed because they're now more generically set in the dovecot-master.conf. I'm thinking that perhaps the config process could still be run in compatibility mode where it's able to use an existing v1.x dovecot.conf and translate the old settings to new settings.

[Dovecot] Slow connections with POP3 service
by V S Rao 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi All, I am facing a very strange issue with the pop3 server for the past one week. I run my mail service using sendmail & use UW-IMAP for POP3 & IMAP service. We have around 5000 users. Suddenly for the past one week I am facing very slow connections for POP3 alone on that server. Other services such as SMTP, IMAP, telnet, ssh etc work fine. Assuming that UW-IMAP may have an issue, I download the latest dovecot, compiled it and installed it. This also gives the same issue. I do not any firewall issues nor iptables is enabled. I have checked on the network to ensure that I do not have any kind of virus or DoS attacks using an IDS. I am unable to see any 'Strange' messages in /var/log/messages or maillog. What is strange is that it works one day without any issues and the next day the problem persists. Even a telnet to localhost on port 110 is very very slow. Can someone help with any ideas on how to troubleshoot? This is our production box. Thanks V S Rao

[Dovecot] Links on MainConfig wiki page not working
by Matthijs Kooijman 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi all, while looking through the wiki page MainConfig, I noticed a lot of wannabe-links, for example: <doc/wiki/SSL> This looks like it should have been converted to a wiki link automatically, but apparently isn't. Would be good to have this fixed? Gr. Matthijs

[Dovecot] Quota/Dict Postgres Trigger
by Warren Volz 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I posted the trigger for v1.1 versions of Dovecot on the Wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict ) and while I understand the comment posted about two process inserting at the same time, I'm not sure I understand how this is fixed in v1.2 other than via the revised trigger in the Wiki. Does someone have a known working trigger that will handle a double insert correctly? Also, out of curiosity why wasn't the code for dict written to do an update first and then an insert if this failed? That would eliminate the need for this trigger. Thanks. -Warren
