here is my new doveconf-n: ------------------ # 2.0.17 (684381041dc4+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: OpenBSD 5.1 i386 auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1 mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl mmap_disable = yes passdb { driver = bsdauth } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } ------------------------
now the retrieving pop-up window gets closed almost immediately but no messages get downloaded! Also the detailed debigging doesn't show any extra info in the log! The only info that I still get is: -------------------------- Jul 31 15:16:23 [myserver] dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, mpid=26976, TLS --------------------------- Thanks On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 7:53 PM, Pascal Volk < user+dove...@localhost.localdomain.org> wrote: > On 07/31/2012 05:35 PM GVG GVG wrote: > > Dear list members, > > > > first my doveconf -n output: > > > > -------------- > > # 2.0.17 (684381041dc4+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > > # OS: OpenBSD 5.1 i386 ffs > > mail_location = mbox:/var/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u > > mbox_write_locks = fcntl > > mmap_disable = yes > > passdb { > > driver = bsdauth > > } > > ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem > > ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem > > userdb { > > driver = passwd > > } > > protocol imap { > > imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep > tb-lsub-flags > > } > > protocol pop3 { > > pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > > } > > --------------- > > > > when using evolution from a remote linux machine, and try to > download/fetch > > the e-mails from my e-mail server, I get a pop-up window indicationg that > > is trying to do so (after I did sign-in with my user-id and password!). > The > > problem is taht this process stays there forever and no messages get > > downloaded! > > Your mail_location setting looks a little bit strange to me. > I'd suggest to use: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u > > If that shouldn't solve the issue, make Dovecot more verbose: > mail_debug = yes > > > Regards, > Pascal > -- > The trapper recommends today: c01dcafe.1221...@localdomain.org >
