[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.x or 1.2, which way to go for Kolab Server?
Hi Timo, Hi *, was written the other day we started to use Dovecot 1.2 for our Kolab with Dovecot project, but it turned out that there are quite a bunch of issues with 1.2 (which is ok, as it hasn't even been announced as beta till now). We have a customer who should get a first test installation of Kolab with Dovecot in the first week of September and for that we need the features mentioned in my other mails, especially the enhanced name spaces for shared folders. (%%h, listing of shared folders, an checkpassword like backend for userdb). So the big decision to make is: - stay with 1.1.x and port the needed shared namespace stuff back from 1.2 or - build on 1.2 and resolve all issues caused by it Timo, do you have any opinion/advice on this? How far from being production ready is 1.2 in your view? How hard would it be to get the shared folder/namespace stuff in 1.1.x? (or for that matter: who much harder than to do it in 1.2?) We are currently evaluating these questions, but I would highly appreciate your comments on this. cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner pgptpp8Ir37ut.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Dovecot] Transition from Courier-IMAP
Hello all, Currently we are looking at the possibility of moving from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot (the one that comes with Debian Lenny: version 1.0.15). I'm currently testing it on a non-production server and have a few questions: 1) Currently all our clients use Thunderbird as their mail client to read mail from our IMAP server. Thunderbird is configured with INBOX. as the IMAP server directory. As we certainly do NOT want to reconfigure over 150 desktops, we would like to know if it's possible to make Dovecot work with Thunderbird Configured this way - Simply make Dovecot act the same as Courier-IMAP. With the default configuration of Dovecot I can see the (IMAP) Inbox but not its subfolders when IMAP server directory is NOT empty. Is there a way to let Dovecot ignore this setting and/or make it compatible with Courier? 2) About a year back we already test-drived Dovecot but we weren't able to get Delete as marked option to work in Thunderbird in combination with Expunge to trash. Any messages marked as deleted would simply be deleted permanently when Thunderbird was closed. This did work properly with Courier where any messages were expunged to Trash (as it should). Is this a known problem and has it been addressed yet? Basically both questions can be brought together as How can we make Dovecot as compatible as possible with Courier-IMAP? Thanks, -- Ing.

The same group you're trying to help will see the long, wordy error message, glaze over it, and go straight to my password doesn't work and I know it's right. It doesn't help for everyone, but I think it could reduce the number of these questions. I think I'm going to do this: If /var/lib/dovecot/auth-success file doesn't exist at startup and protocols != none, print at startup: If you have trouble with authentication failures, enable auth_debug setting. http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork If the process printed that and a successful login comes in (master process sees it easily internally), create the auth-success file. This should be only about 10-20 extra lines of code, doesn't change behavior for end users and shouldn't annoy sysadmins since it stops after the first successful authentication.

[Dovecot] sieve multi-line parser bug

When a message header is split along several lines, it seems only the
first one is parsed by sieve.
The following header:

Something like hash:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/aliases in Dovecot. Damn! I just removed everything from the virtual_mailbox_maps file and now have no delivery of mail.

Re: [Dovecot] Cyrus MailDir to Dovecot mbox
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Timo,
Thanks. The cyrus2dovecot looks to have worked. So if I understand
the process I now just move the MailDir folder that was created to the
users home directory on our mail server. I will try the dovecot convert
plugin. Just make sure I'm doing this correct in the config file:
mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/userM/mail/%u
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = convert
}
plugin {
convert_mail = Maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/userM/mail/%u
}
Is this correct? The example on the website only shows how to convert
from mbox to MailDir.

Thunderbird to move the messages over. But he has over 100K messages so
not as easy to do.
Is there a tool out there for doing this sort of conversion? I tried
to simply cat all the messages into a single file, but just got a Not
valid mbox format when I tried to read the mail folder.
You could use either cyrus2dovecot or cyrus2courier tools to convert to
Maildir format (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Cyrus). From there use
some maildir to mbox conversion tool (e.g. Dovecot's convert-tool).

I guess it depends on the size of your mails. With mboxes it can be used only with read-only archives, so it's not all that useful. With maildir it can be used transparently with read-write mailboxes. I've no idea what the performance difference or space improvements are. I guess that'll also depend on your system. I use zlib compressed maildirs on my primary server (12000+ users) and it achieves average compression ratio of 1.8, so if your system is io-bound you can spend some cpu cycles to significantly decrease disk load. But is that 1.8 in bytes or disk blocks? Or does it make much of a difference either way? Does 2x less space per message even matter with small messages since most disk I/O probably goes to seeking, so reading a single 4 kB message takes pretty much the same time as a 8 kB message? Just throwing in my 0.02 currency units... ... obviously, which messages you choose to compress is up to you, and should be tuned depending on your system. Certainly, I wouldn't bother compressing anything smaller than 1 allocation block (whatever that is on your FS), and even 2, unless your CPU is really idle. The larger the message, the greater the potential rewards. PS: Timo... 2x smaller? ... somehow, I expected better of you :) -- Curtis Maloney [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dovecot] postfix/dovecot/mysql quotas not working, default dovecot.conf does.
I'm having problems getting dovecot to set imap quotas that are
defined as individual quotas for virtual users using mysql. I'm using
postfix/dovecot 1.1.3, just built from source about a week ago.
I've been testing using telnet and getquotaroot. when I define the
quota in dovecot.conf
quota = dirsize
quota_rule = *:storage=102400
I get the following response from Dovecot:
# telnet 127.0.0.1 143
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
* OK Dovecot ready.
. login [EMAIL PROTECTED] password
. OK Logged in.
. getquotaroot inbox
* QUOTAROOT inbox
* QUOTA (STORAGE 276273 102400)
All is good (the mailbox IS currently very full as part of my
testing). However, when I define that data in the dovecot-sql.conf
file, it doesn't appear to pick the data up, either as an override,
or, if I delete
quota_rule = *:storage=102400
from dovecot.conf, I get no quota at all
. getquotaroot inbox
. OK No quota.
# grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-sql.conf
driver = mysql
connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=password
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
password_query = \
SELECT username, domain, password \
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND domain = '%d' AND active = '1'
user_query = \
SELECT 1015 as uid, 105 as gid, '/var/spool/mail/%d/%n' as home, \
'maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir' as mail, \
'dirsize' as quota, \
concat('*:storage=', quota, 'B') as quota_rule, \
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND domain = '%d' and active = '1'
the results remain the same in telnet.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I've done a fair amount of
digging, and have no idea why it's not working. ASsociated other
configuration below.
Thanks!
Rick
