[Dovecot] Migration to Dovecot
by Frank Bonnet 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello all Tomorrow is the day , I'm gonna migrate all our mailboxes and imap folders from our old mailhub to the new one. In the same time I will migrate from UW to Dovecot , I've read all the stuff about it on the Dovecot web site. I have one question , do I have to care about the .imap cache directory created by Dovecot in any way or will it be "all automatic" when starting Dovecot ? Many thanks -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet

[Dovecot] iPhone 1.1.1 problems.
by Mike Meyer 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

I'm having problems with the iPhone client in the 1.1.1 version of the iPhone software. Things with other clients work fine, and the iPhone worked fine before it was upgraded to 1.1.1. Other phones on 1.1.1 failed. I'm still working on testing against the client with the iPhone 1.0.2 software on it. The problem is that the client simply doesn't connect to dovecot. I can see the packets passing back and forth in a number of ways, but haven't been able to see the contents. I tried turning on raw logging, but don't get log files for accesses from the iPhone. What I get are lines like so: Oct 13 00:08:34 bhuda dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1, TLS Turning off SSL both ways, and the message changes to: Oct 13 18:21:38 bhuda dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1 Tweaking the logging in the firewall reveals something interesting: apparently the phone makes the connection to 993, then dovecot drops the connection, but the phone keeps sending to it (and yes, I've tried setting the firewall to allow arbitrary traffic between the phone and the server). So, first question: is anyone who has clients using iPhone software version 1.1.1 working willing to share config information? Second question: suggestions for things to try to solve the problem? (Other than talk to apple as that process is underway)? For instance, a recipe to sniff the text of the interchange? Final question: Any other information I can provide that might help debug this?

[Dovecot] OT: Cron Output When Deleting Files
by Jeff Grossman 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

I have a Dovecot setup for a personal e-mail server. I have a cron job setup each evening which runs the following command to delete old messages from my Deleted Items folder. find ./ -type f -ctime +14 | xargs rm I don't know that much about bash scripting. I would like the output to tell me how many files were deleted. Can anybody share with me how can I get that done, or point in the correct direction? Thanks, Jeff

[Dovecot] Squirrelmail Problem with 1.1 Beta 3
by Jeff Grossman 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I just installed 1.1 beta 3 and noticed a problem when sending an e-mail with Squirrelmail. When I hit send, I get the following error in my log: Oct 16 11:35:54 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): Disconnected: EOF while appending bytes=1851/5926 Oct 16 11:35:54 apple imapproxyd[9132]: Raw_Proxy(): IMAP server unexpectedly closed the connection on sd 9 I am also using imapproxy. I wasn't sure if that line would help also. In Squirrelmail I get a LOGOUT message when it tries to redisplay the INBOX listing. The message does get sent correctly, but it does not get copied to my Sent Items folder. I went and deleted all of the dovecot.index* files and now I don't get that error anymore, but I now get the following error. The message is now copied to the Sent Items folder. Oct 16 11:44:45 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): Cache file /home/jeff/.maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache: Newly added field got lost unexpectedly Jeff

[Dovecot] namespace prefix issue with avelsieve and dovecot v1.1beta2
by Martin Konopka 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, I have installed dovecot v1.1.beta2 with the sieve plugin v.1.1.2. I have configured the following namespace: namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. location: inbox: yes hidden: no list: yes When I create a rule which should move messages into the subfolder "Junk", Dovecot's deliver seems to ignore the namespace and creates a new folder .INBOX.Junk . I think I read somewhere that in Dovecot v1.1+ deliver supports namespaces? Or have I misconfigured something? Thank you! Martin dovecot -n output: # 1.1.beta2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.key verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: quota: fs

[Dovecot] Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
by Maykel Moya 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I'm using deliver (1.0.5) with Postfix (2.1.6). I made a test for a few minutes in a moderated busy server. While most mails was delivered, a lot of them failed with this error: deliver(userfoo): Oct 15 09:58:31 Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Sounds to me something like not enough auth-master to answer every concurrent deliver. Any hint? Regards, maykel PD: If there any other info I could give let me know.

[Dovecot] assertion failure when appending
by Johannes Berg 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I get this assertion failure: file maildir-save.c: line 456 (maildir_save_finish): assertion failed: (ctx->seq != 0) once a while when I APPEND messages to a folder. My plugin doesn't touch the ctx, especially not the internal maildir one, but I have no idea where to start looking. Any hints? johannes
