Hi!
I'm using dovecot-1.0.rc7 with pop3 and imap. The pop3 is ok, really, no
problem at all. With imap, I have the following problem:
From the client side it looks like it logs in - logs out - logs in -
logs out... can not see any emails or directories.
From the server side, I can see these in the logs:
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1
PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=x.x.x.x rip=x.x.x.x
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1

dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1

dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST

dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 30
teszt uid=8010 gid=8010
home=/var/mail/virtual/teszt/Maildir/./
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): Effective uid=8010, gid=8010
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: data=/
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: root=, index=,
control=, inbox=
dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<teszt>,
method=plain, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, TLS
These messages are repeating, but with an incrementing number:
"USER 30 teszt". This number after the 'USER' word increments with
every login.
The user's mail directory has 770 perms, and owned by 8010:8010 (the
teszt user's UID and GID). The cur/new/tmp folders gets created, but
nothing more. The MTA on the server puts the messages inside the new/
folder, and I can get the mails with pop3 from the 'teszt' account.
Only imap is acting funny.
This "infinite loop" happens with Thunderbird, but I tried it with KMail
too. The latter says right after the login procedure: "The connection
to the server IMAP Account was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It
will be re-established automatically if possible."
Is there some script which makes the maildir folder "ready" for use
(like the mkmaildir with courier imap), or is there some special file
which I must put in it to make it work?
Thanks for the help!
Daniel
