doveadm: Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting
by Ben 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi, I am trying to migrate mail from an old server and am receiving the following error : doveadm(user(a)example.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. Only namespaces with empty location settings are converted. (One namespace should default to mail_location setting) I found an old thread (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-September/068269.html) that referred to "location" being set. However this is not the case with me, my config reads: namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } My dsync conf looks as follows : imapc_host = old-server.example.com imapc_user = %u imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_features = $imapc_features fetch-headers mail_prefetch_count = 20 imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_ssl_verify = yes The command I'm calling is: sudo -u my_dovecot_user doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dsync_config.conf -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u user(a)example.com imapc:

Hello, we are using doveadm sync to export mdbox to maildir format, so we can use an external tool to convert into an pst file.

IMAP directory structure.
by C5ace 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello, I use Dovecot 2.1.7. and like to know how to force the IMAP directory structure to be: The IMAP server's desired directory structure is: root@server-2:/var/vmail/c5ace.com/test/Maildir# /.INBOX /.INBOX.Archives /.INBOX.Drafts /.INBOX.Junk /.INBOX.Sent /.INBOX.Templates /.INBOX.Trash and to prevent the mail clients like Thunderbird, Claws Mail, etc. to add additional out of tree directories. Thanks in advance. Elmar

v2.2.28 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc1.tar.gz.sig Pretty large release. Please test before the final v2.2.28, which should be out in a few days. BTW. Our plan is to start making new releases approximately every month from now on. * director: "doveadm director move" to same host now refreshes user's timeout. This allows keeping user constantly in the same backend by just periodically moving the user there. * When new mailbox is created, use initially INBOX's dovecot.index.cache caching decisions. * Expunging mails writes GUID to dovecot.index.log now only if the GUID is quickly available from index/cache. * imap: When BINARY FETCH sees invalid content, return NO [PARSE] reply instead of [UNKNOWNCTE] (which is now used only for actually unknown Content-Transfer-Encoding headers). * pop3c: Increase timeout for PASS command to 5 minutes. * Mail access errors are no longer ignored when searching or sorting. With IMAP the untagged SEARCH/SORT reply is still sent the same as before, but NO reply is returned instead of OK. + Make dovecot.list.index's filename configurable. This is needed when there are multiple namespaces pointing to the same mail root (e.g. lazy_expunge namespace for mdbox). + Add size.virtual to dovecot.index when folder vsizes are accessed (e.g. quota=count). This is mainly a workaround to avoid slow quota recalculation performance when message sizes get lost from dovecot.index.cache due to corruption or some other reason. + auth: Support OAUTHBEARER and XOAUTH2 mechanisms. Also support them in lib-dsasl for client side. + auth: Support filtering by SASL mechanism: passdb { mechanisms } + Shrink the mail processes' memory usage by not storing settings duplicated unnecessarily many times. + imap: Add imap_fetch_failure setting to control what happens when FETCH fails for some mails (see example-config). + imap: Include info about last command in disconnection log line. + imap: Created new SEARCH=X-MIMEPART extension. It's currently not advertised by default, since it's not fully implemented. + fts-solr: Add support for basic authentication. + Cassandra: Support automatically retrying failed queries if execution_retry_interval and execution_retry_times are set. + doveadm: Added "mailbox path" command. + mail_log plugin: If plugin { mail_log_cached_only=yes }, log the wanted fields only if it doesn't require opening the email. + mail_vsize_bg_after_count setting added (see example-config). + mail_sort_max_read_count setting added (see example-config). - Index files: day_first_uid wasn't updated correctly since v2.2.26. This caused dovecot.index.cache to be non-optimal. - imap: SEARCH/SORT may have assert-crashed in client_check_command_hangs - imap: FETCH X-MAILBOX may have assert-crashed in virtual mailboxes. - imap: Running time in tagged command reply was often wrongly 0. - search: Using NOT n:* or NOT UID n:* wasn't handled correctly - director: doveadm director kick was broken - director: Fix crash when using director_flush_socket - director: Fix some bugs when moving users between backends - imapc: Various error handling fixes and improvements - master: doveadm process status output had a lot of duplicates. - autoexpunge: If mailbox's rename timestamp is newer than mail's save-timestamp, use it instead. This is useful when autoexpunging e.g. Trash/* and an entire mailbox is deleted by renaming it under Trash to prevent it from being autoexpunged too early. - autoexpunge: Multiple processes may have been trying to expunge the same mails simultaneously. This was problematic especially with lazy_expunge plugin. - auth: %{passdb:*} was empty in auth-worker processes - auth-policy: hashed_password was always sent empty. - dict-sql: Merge multiple UPDATEs to a single statement if possible. - fts-solr: Escape {} chars when sending queries - fts: fts_autoexpunge_exclude = \Special-use caused crashes - doveadm-server: Fix leaks and other problems when process is reused for multiple requests (service_count != 1) - sdbox: Fix assert-crash on mailbox create race - lda/lmtp: deliver_log_format values weren't entirely correct if Sieve was used. especially %{storage_id} was broken.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.17.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.28.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello Dovecot users, Several bugs were found in the course of the last few months, but no new features were created. So, this will be strictly a bug-fixing release. The previous Pigeonhole release should still work with the new Dovecot release, which means you are not required to upgrade. However, my advice would be to upgrade once this release candidate matures into a final release, since at least the first bug listed below is pretty severe. Changelog v0.4.17: - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed handling of an early explicit keep during multiscript execution. Action side-effects and the message snapshot would be lost at the final stage where the implicit keep is evaluated. This could result in the IMAP flags assigned to the message to be forgotten or that headers modified by the "editheader" extension would revert to their original state. - file script storage: Amended the up-to-date time stamp comparison for on-disk binaries to include nanoseconds. This will fix problems occurring when both binary and script are saved within the same second. This fix is ineffective on older systems that have no support for nanoseconds in stat() timestamps, which should be pretty rare nowadays. - file script storage: Improve saving and listing permission error to include more details. - imapsieve plugin: Make sure "INBOX" is upper case in static mailbox rules. Otherwise, the mailbox name would never match, since matching is performed case-sensitively and Dovecot only returns the upper-cased "INBOX". - imapsieve plugin: Fixed assert failure occurring when used with virtual mailboxes. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crash when setting Sieve script via attribute's string value. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Issue connecting to dovecot from remote machine
by Antoine Sirven 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Hi, I've set up a postfix +dovecot configuration on my debian jessie. But I have a connection issue. When I try to connect from thunderbird it doesn not work. When I check out my debug logs I get : auth-worker(22252): Info: pam(myuser,hostIP): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?) (given password: correctPassword) Running doveadm auth test tells me I can authenticate with the same password. So I tried connecting via openssl. When I connect from my local host, everything goes fine : * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. a login myUser myPassword a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in But when I run the same thing from my remote laptop, I never get any reply from the imap server. It's as if the request wasn't reaching the server.

If you absolutely can't test on a VM or another test host, you can run the new version along side your current version in another installation directory. Configure your new installation to run on alternate ports. You can work off copies of mail data as well if you really want to isolate your test. Then you can gradually phase in your new version by swapping alternate port/data with production port/data. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

doveadm backup and quota
by florent＠coppint.com 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi, I'm looking to convert all mailboxes from Maildir format to mdbox. When I try my procedure on a user having ~45GB of messages, its quota is growing very fast and is now up to 66GB. I run this command : doveadm -v backup -u user(a)domain.com mdbox:/mnt/maildata1/domain.com/user/mdbox I expected this command to make a copy of user mailbox, it does not make sense to count the backup in its quota. Maybe quota is simply recalculated ? But running a "du -sh" on its home directory is showing a 46G disk usage ! (backup is not stored in home dir) Can someone tell me what happens on my setup ? I use Dovecot 2.2.24. Thank you. Florent
