Ever since Columbus day things have been strange with my two dovecot
servers, according to my Blackberry users.
We do not have a BES just the standard BIS that comes with a personal
account.
Several people have told me that since that Monday that they get
occasional duplicate copies of messages which only appear singularly in
their Maildir inboxes.
I myself even called VZW and got transferred to RIM themselves where
they 'reset' my account; (same as me going into the BIS server and
deleting and adding again) only to have the same thing happen; again
occasionally..
Below is relevant dovecot info..
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 164064 Oct 1 17:16 /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
(date it was built; prior to any problems.. *whew*) ;)
1 # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
2 # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3 i386
3 ssl_cert_file:

4 ssl_key_file:

5 disable_plaintext_auth: no
6 verbose_ssl: yes

14 maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes
15 mail_plugins: quota imap_quota
16 imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail outlook-idle

17 auth default:
18 mechanisms: plain login
19 user: vpopmail
20 passdb:
21 driver: vpopmail
22 userdb:
23 driver: vpopmail
24 socket:
25 type: listen
26 client:
27 path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
28 mode: 438
29 plugin:
30 quota: maildir:User quota
31 expire: Trash 7 Spam 30
Now what does not show here is something that I put in that it looked
like it was supposed to help but didn't..
mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30
after looking around at other people complaining about BIS and possible
dovecot issues it seemed that that entry was the 'magic' the BIS was
missing; except I never had it and never had troubles.
I'm assuming this is a BIS issue of some sort, but I can't tell.
After looking on the wiki I didn't see anything that says "BIS users
look here for tips.. "
So I'm assuming there aren't any; I think it should just work with the
IMAP server..
Any help would be appreciated as everyone thinks this is 'our problem'
and "if we had an exchange server we wouldn't be having these problems.."
Thanks in advance..
