[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha5 released
by Timo Sirainen 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha5.tar.gz.sig It's been a while since alpha4 so I thought I'd release a new one while waiting for Apple's patches.. - mbox fixes. - Lots of Solr fixes - Virtual mailboxes + Solr works now nicely instead of duplicating the indexed data. - Added alias_for setting for namespaces, also useful to avoid duplication of Solr indexed data if you have multiple namespaces that point to the same location (e.g. both "" prefix and "INBOX." prefix compatibility). - %variables now support long %{variable_names}: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables. I was planning on using these to redesign LDAP configuration (e.g. home=/var/mail/%{ldap:homeDirectory}) - imap/pop3 proxy: Support master user logins. - Improved some error messages

[Dovecot] Syncing several emails accounts with offlineimap and dovecot
by Joe Bloggs 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hi, I have just installed dovecot and offlineimap on my laptop for syncing with my gmail, and reading in gnus, as outlined in this article: http://sachachua.com/wp/2008/05/08/geek-how-to-use-offlineimap-and-the-dove… I am using Debian Etch, and I am the only user. The only change I made to the default dovecot.conf file was to set: mail_location = maildir:~/MailDir I read that gnus doesn't handle Maildir very well, so I need to connect directly to dovecot, and this is what I have specified in my offlinemap conf file: [Repository Local] type = IMAP remotehost = localhost port = 143 remoteuser = me remotepass = secret I want to sync my other online email accounts aswell. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot >1.1.3 + antispam plugin issues
by Marcin Rzepecki 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Hello, i have following problems using dovecot-antispam plugin (Dovecot >1.1.3, FreeBSD 8.0-Current, dovecot-antispam 1.0/1.1) dovecot-antispam compiled using dspam-exec/mailtrain, with/wo debugging (i've tried all possibilities) When i try to move message to SPAM folder (using dspam-exec backend) i'm getting IMAP error: antispam signature not found and in dovecot logs: Nov 23 23:44:24 freebsd dovecot: IMAP(mr): Next message unexpectedly lost from 2708619 Using mail backend gives this error too(only IMAP error changes: failed to read mail beggining). Commenting out following code in mbox_read_from_line function (in src/lib-storage/index/mbox/istream-raw-mbox.c) helped and plugin was working correctly, but only with Dovecot <=1.1.3. if (stream->istream.v_offset - rstream->hdr_offset + new_pos > rstream->mail_size) { /* istream_raw_mbox_set_next_offset() used invalid cached next_offset? */ i_error("Next message unexpectedly lost from %"PRIuUOFF_T, rstream->hdr_offset + rstream->mail_size); rstream->eof = TRUE; rstream->corrupted = TRUE; rstream->istream.istream.stream_errno = EINVAL; stream->pos = 0; return -1; } Now, with versions >1.1.3 this won't helps and plugin fails. Anyone knows how to get it working? I would like to upgrade to newest dovecot release Best regards, mr

[Dovecot] Problem with managesieve (and virtual users?)

[Dovecot] Replace Domainname in Mail Location
by Manuel Schmidt 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hello, I dont fully understand how the domain name replacement in mail_location takes place. If I connect to the server using my username as in the text file i can not access my Maildirs as %d gets not replaced. If i user username(a)domain.com the %d is correctly replaced. But, how would i configure my mail_location, to take the domain part from the server name i connect to? So i could set up my client to connect to mydomain.com and have just my username set as login? I did not find a variable that seems to be more correct than %d. So i guess i have to configure that elsewehre? In userdb? Here is my conf # 1.1.1: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap listen: 80.69.46.51:143 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Druckbar!

[Dovecot] Horde IMP w/ dovecot folder list
by LÉVAI Dániel 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi! I'm using dovecot-1.1.7, Horde-3.3.2 and IMP-4.3.2. The left-side folder list has some folders, whos names contains localized (non-ascii) characters. This is displayed correctly when I select the "English (American)" language entry on the login page from the dropdown menu. But when I choose my locale, which is "Magyar" (Hungarian), the folders won't display the correct characters. It's like this: With "English (American)" locale: Ügyfél With "Magyar" locale: &ANw-gyf&AOk-l The latter is the same displaying as with the folder's name on the filesystem: # ls -1 user/Maildir/ [...] .&ANw-gyf&AOk-l/ [...] I've sent this message to imp@ but, they say it is a problem with my mailserver, which I suspected, because the wrong folder names are exactly the same as the folder names on the filesystem. Is there any way to solve this? Thanks in advance, Daniel -- LEVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1
