[Dovecot] pop3 & imap
by Tommy 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi, I use dovecot as pop3 and imap(squirrelmail) server. When I create a folder through webmail and set some sieve rules(fileinto for example), messages will be delivered to that folder by lda, but will not be visibe for pop clients. Is it possible to download these messages ? (Dovecot 1.0, debian etch) regards

Thank you for the reference to the specification. Apart from the wrong name, I was using PUTSCRIPT instead of GETSCRIPT. Now, where do I have to put the scripts to GET them? My home directory does not work, nor do the /var/mail/user/ and /var/mail/user/Maildir directories. I get a "Script does not exist" response, though the script is in all three locations.

Hi all, I'm trying to get the sieve plugin to work, but with little result. I'm following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve but it won't work. As I have virtual users from several virtual domains, I added the "virtual users - with lookup" section from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, but now dovecot fails to start.

[Dovecot] generating passdb files
by Dave 14 Apr '08

Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.0.3 on an fc6 box. I've got postfix and dovecot set up for virtual domains, all look good. The issue is finding the password file generator. I googled and think i'm looking for mkpasswd but searching the system i'm not seeing this. Has the name of this prog changed? Thanks. Dave.
