[Dovecot] possible bug with incoming mail
by Luke Ehresman 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

I've been using Dovecot for a couple months now and am very impressed. Thanks for a great package. However, I have noticed a problem that I haven't been able to solve. When a new message comes into my inbox, the last message that was received is marked as new as well as the new one. I originally thought this was a bug in my client (mutt) but I have verified that the same thing happens with Thunderbird, Sylpheed, mutt, and pine. My configuration is as follows: ------------------------------- using mbox: default_mail_env = mbox:/var/spool/vfolders/%d/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n using imaps Linux version 2.6.11-hardened-r1 (root@gondor) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)) #2 Thu May 5 13:14:52 EDT 2005 Thanks for any help you can give, Luke

[Dovecot] Dovecot + MySQL no auth
by Dylan Baxter 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

I haven't been able to login to my mail server using MySQL authentication and I believe I've found the issue. My POP log says: dovecot: Jun 07 09:58:56 Error: auth(default): sql(dylan(a)domain.com,127.0.0.1): Password query must return a field named "password" dovecot: Jun 07 09:58:56 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected [127.0.0.1] The password field in MySQL is called "passwd". Am I to understand that there is no way around this? I must rename the field to "password"? My config files all check out. I'm pretty sure I'm at a road block here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, aren't there anough Dovecot users to warrant a forum and/or IRC channel? I cant seem to find either (but thank you for the mailing list!). Thanks all for any help! Dylan

[Dovecot] Restrictions on User Basis
by Net Cerebrum 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi, I am running dovecot on Fedora Linux in our organization and use IMAP as well as POP3 protocols for mail retrieval. I want to impose the following user based restrictions: (a) I want to permit only selective users to access either POP3 or IMAP server or both. (b) The server can be accessed from LAN as well as WAN. However I want to allow only selective users to be able to access POP3 or IMAP server from the WAN side (or on the basis of IP addresses). What do I need to do to impose these restrictions ? Thanks,

[Dovecot] APPEND issue with Thunderbird
by Todd Burroughs 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

I'm getting a strange problem with APPEND and Thunderbird 0.8. This was working fine in the CVS version from June 8 and is not so fine as of June 20. It works fine using Pine. It appears that imap is hanging when trying to append to a folder. Right now, an imap process has the file open for about 1/2 hour. It wrote the headers out, but not the body. When Thunderbird disconnects from it, it closes the file, but does not finish writing the email. Here's the difference in the commands sent by Pine and Thunderbird from rawlogs. These are different accounts. (Thunderbird) (.in file) 2 append "Sent" (\Seen) {520+} Message-ID: <42BAC447.7050901(a)hostopia.com> (rest of headers and message follows) The .out file is empty --------------------------------------- (Pine) (.in file) 00000003 CAPABILITY 03000004 APPEND Sent {392} Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 19:35:42 -0400 (EDT) (rest of headers and message follows) 03000005 LOGOUT (.out file) * OK [RAWLOG TIMESTAMP] 2005-06-22 19:36:20 * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS 00000003 OK Capability completed. + OK 03000004 OK Append completed. * BYE Logging out 03000005 OK Logout completed. ----------------------------------------- Todd

Hi, Is there any planned support for FAM http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ in dovecot? One of my favourite features of Courier IMAP server is that it alerts my email client through IMAP when email has arrived. Regards, Mick

[Dovecot] pop3 retr error
by Marten Lehmann 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hello, I'm getting the following error while Mozilla Mail is downloading >4000 emails: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving message. Mail server xxx responded: Message is deleted. So what's the error? Can't I retrieve a message, that has been marked as deleted before? If the Mesage-ID wouldn't exist, the error message would be different. I don't know what Mozilla Mail is doing and on which message id it is failing. Also, there's no output in the logfiles. Any ideas? Regards Marten

[Dovecot] quetion about duplicate messages
by Michiel van Es 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi, we recently switched from Imap-Uw to Dovecot as a pop3 server. I was wondering why people who have the flag 'Leave messages on server' in their email client (Outlook, Outlook Expres) that they receive duplicates of their stored mail? Is it because Dovecot doesn't know that the messages has already been popped by Imap Uw or is the email client which thinks there are new messages on the server and if so..how can I avoid this behaviour? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Kind Regards, Michiel
