[Dovecot] Locally accessing IMAP folders from Windows
by Dídac Busquets 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi all, I've just configured Dovecot as my IMAP server in my Ubuntu machine. Everything works fine: I can access my IMAP folders remotely, I have also installed Squirrel webmail to access it thru the web... Although I'm most of the time working with Ubuntu, sometimes I boot my machine with Windows XP. However, since the server is not running then (because I'm not running Ubuntu), the only thing I can do is read the files directly. Is there any client able to display the messages directly from the files and folders stored in Maildir?

[Dovecot] Problem with MySQL
by Emmeran Sollner 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi there, I tried to setup a passwddb with mysql, but it wont connect to my database, even if I patch the driver-mysql.c Here a test program I wrote to check the connection: int main() { MYSQL mysql; mysql_init(&mysql); if (mysql_real_connect(&mysql, NULL, "root", "asd2sdf3", "ccc", 0, "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", 0) == NULL) printf("connection failed: %s\n", mysql_error(&mysql)); else printf("nos problemos\n"); return 0; } This program executed says "nos problemos" --> connection works The same data in dovecot.conf brings up this: Sep 15 03:08:38 suse10064lamp dovecot: auth-worker(default): ok... connecting to mysql: host='(null)', user='root', pass='asd2sdf3', db='ccc', port='0', sock='/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' Sep 15 03:08:38 suse10064lamp dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (ccc): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry I added a i_info() in front of the mysql_real_connect command to test if the data from the config file is transmitted correctly (first line above) --> it is So i tried to connect to mysql with the line from my test-program. this is the patched code: i_info("ok... connecting to mysql: host='%s', user='%s', pass='%s', db='%s', port='%i', sock='%s'", host, db->user, db->password, db->dbname, db->port, unix_socket); /* failed = mysql_real_connect(conn->mysql, host, db->user, db->password, db->dbname, db->port, unix_socket, db->client_flags) == NULL; */ failed = mysql_real_connect(conn->mysql, NULL, "root", "asd2sdf3", "ccc", 0, "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", 0) == NULL; And it still says: Sep 15 03:08:38 suse10064lamp dovecot: auth-worker(default): ok... connecting to mysql: host='(null)', user='root', pass='asd2sdf3', db='ccc', port='0', sock='/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' Sep 15 03:08:38 suse10064lamp dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connect failed to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (ccc): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Any ideas?

I am configuring dovecot 1.0rc7 to authenticate users (system users) in /etc/passwd. Is it possible to use a different auth mechanism, other than "plain", when the encrypted password is in /etc/master.passwd (BSD style)? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash(a)wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. -- Emerson

[Dovecot] Migrating from uw-imapd to dovecot
by Anne Hammond 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? This is a serious problem in switching. I've read the FAQ and documentation but it doesn't speak to this specific problem. Thanks in advance, Anne Hammond Tech-X Corporation

Hi all I've been doing research but haven't found anything yet. Is there a doc to show how to get Dovecot to authenticate directly against active directory.
