Hallo I build my Installation after HowTo with Archlinux packages: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I can send e-mail, but pop3 failed: "unknown user" For good popularity needed one or more 100% complete howto step-by-step reusable for full folk.

[Dovecot] v1.1 alpha6: Log synchronization error ... Append with UID 0
by Asuka Sato 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Hi. I am testing E-mail delivery by using dovecot 1.1 alpha6. But, The following message(syslog) is output while receiving mail. And, I'm try to looked for this reason in that source code. Hum... I think why the deliver is not using a 'MAILBOX_TRANSACTION_FLAG_ASSIGN_UIDS' flag. # deliver/deliver.c:142::deliver_save() function - calling mailbox_transactio n_begin() The imap's COPY/APPEND commands is using this flag.

[Dovecot] Broken header

Hi, I just upgraded to version 1.0.5 hoping to get rid of a problem that made Thunderbird download all mails from time to time. I now see this error (below). Does anyone know what it means?

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1alpha6 deliver+quota bugs
by Andrew Garner 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

I was playing around with dovecot-1.1 and maildir++ quotas, and ran into a reproducible error with indexing. This only seems to be a problem for new maildirs. If I send a message without the quota plugin on, and "seed" the index/control files, future deliveries with the quota plugin seem to succeed without errors.

[Dovecot] quota reporting and mail.app
by Mike Horwath 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi everyone. I can't get mail.app to report back correct quota information using mail.app and dovecot (though it works with courier-imap). I am looking at migrating away from courier-imap to dovecot but this issue is something I need to have resolved <somehow>. Thunderbird is fine and reports back good info on either connection. I am off to read RFCs (can't I just read the sendmail book again? Might be easier...) to see what should really be done.

[Dovecot] SASL from remote server
by Daniel L. Miller 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Is there a way, using Dovecot and Postfix, to use SASL from a remote server? Since it appears the communication uses Unix sockets, does this mean it is restricted to local services only? I have a two-server configuration, where my firewall also runs the mail gateway/filter (Postfix + ASSP). My internal server has Postfix + Dovecot. Right now I have my internal server configured to use Dovecot SASL, but the external server is still using the Courier authdaemon against the LDAP database. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Running a script when a mail arrives
by Dennis Becker 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, I'm trying to execute a script when a mail arrives in a given user's mailbox. Something like .dovecot.sieve. The reason I'm not using sieve itself is that I need to do stuff on mail arrival, which is beyond sieve's features. So is there a way to tell dovecot to run a script when a mail arrives in a certain mailbox? Optionally a solution to forward the whole mail to a script would be good too. -- Dennis Becker
