Hello,I wanted to upgrade my email server, so I decided to install Bookworm (current debian testing) on a new machine.postfix, postgresql auth, virtual users, courier imapd.ii courier-authdaemon 0.71.4-1+b1 amd64 Courier authentication daemon
If it's the testing release of a current Linux distribution, I'd expect to get the current version of Courier, 1.1.10. That one is from 2013.
I got a message from thunderbird: (set debug, cut&paste from imaplog.datWRITE: * OK [ALERT] Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)This bug has a long history in debian bugtrack, suggest to install fam, but there is no fam in debian testing.
The preferred solution now is to update to the current version that uses inotify natively on Linux, no more gamin or fam.
The current versions can be built directly to installable .debs from the source tarballs, although this was done on Ubuntu. It's very likely to work on Debian, although I have not checked. Note that going that route requires rebuilding all dependencies, courier-unicode and courier-authlib; as well as uninstalling and purging the old debs. These debs are not compatible with the Debian-provided ones.
