Re: [Dovecot] Mailbox consistency with multiple clients
I'm confused by this as well. Additionally with 1.1.3 we were getting lots of reports of people deleting/moving items from their inbox and the items remaining in the inbox?! Also read items not being marked as read. Both of these are from squirrelmail, which as you say should be impossible as squirrelmail logs in, performs the operation and logs out. We aren't using any kind of IMAP proxy. We are using the dovecot index files. As I said before, this was not a problem when we were using dovecot 1.0.8. In an effort to resolve this I will be downgrading to 1.0.8 this morning, I'll let you know if this sorts out the problems!

In an effort to help the situation I changed the following settings from the original, from enabling lazy writes to disabling: mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no As long as you're using Dovecot's index files, these should make no difference. Do they? I find this problem really weird. If you're using a shared account, it's exactly the same as if there were just a single user using multiple clients. Or in Squirrelmail case the same as if the same user was logged in multiple times with different web browsers. And in Squirrelmail case it connects, does something for a short time and disconnects. Dovecot doesn't even know if there are different users using it. So if it shows different views for different users, then the exact same thing should be happening also randomly to the same user even if s/he's the only one logged in. Are you using any kind of an IMAP proxy?

oh, right, userdb_quota_rule. Otherwise it's treated as a passdb field

cyrus2courier 1.5.ts should work with Cyrus 2.2.12 if the seen (and
subscription) states are available in flat text files; otherwise, they
must first be converted using cvt_cyrusdb(8).
My last try has nothing good :
cyrus2courier-1.5-dev : segfault
cyrus2courier-1.5-ts : segfault
I dont understand why ? But it's happening only with -e my_seen_dir option!
However, for our conversion, we've written our own cyrus2dovecot which
also supports skiplist databases (amongst another few features not
provided by the other tools):
http://cyrus2dovecot.sw.fu-berlin.de/
I've tried this one too and I'm stuck too :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] testimap]# ./cyrus2dovecot -C /root/Mail/%u -D dovecot-mail/
mketchn
cyrus2dovecot [mketchn]: (error) No Cyrus INBOX at: /root/Mail/mketchn
I've red the perl code and found this :
if (-e $boxpath/cyrus.header and -e $boxpath/cyrus.index) {
//code
} else {
#
# The folder we're in is not in a Cyrus mailbox.
However, we
# don't simply return here because this folder might contain
# other folders which might be Cyrus mailboxes (unless
we're in
# the INBOX, in which case something is going wrong).
#
error('No Cyrus INBOX at:', $boxpath) if $box eq 'INBOX';
debug(Skipping $boxpath as it's not a Cyrus mailbox.);
$mailfolder = 0;
}
But I'm sure cyrus.header and cyrus.index exist.
Any idea (maybe this is a format problem because even cyrus2courier is
doing segfault)

[Dovecot] Debugging password schemes
Hi, all. I managed to get my new password scheme routine written, but a couple of things: 1. The example module lacks an init routine. Since I used it as a model, my module also lacks one. As such, my newly-built module is seen but not registered. In the meantime, I moved the routines into password-scheme.c instead where I had access to all the MD5 routines already set up for me. 2. Once in password-scheme.c and modified to the point where it builds without warnings or errors and it doesn't gag on itself, it doesn't seem to work properly. What's the best way to debug password-scheme.c so I can see what's going on so I can fix things accordingly? I have to manually break apart the value stored in a database a bit differently than other salted values (it's using salted MD5 values a bit differently than normal). The password format from a Post.Office server, but apparently, Netscape Messaging Server uses this same format. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.

Stupid mistake I completely failed to see, even after a lot of cleanup. Was passing the wrong value to a function (and it was an explicit constant value of 32 when it should have been 16!). And on that note, would there be interest in code to allow use of Post.Office/Netscape Messaging Server SMD5 values? Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.

It would be nice to get its backtrace to get that bug fixed.
