The drawback of course is the complex javascript environment surrounding it. http://www.opensolutions.ie/open-source/vimbadmin

[Dovecot] Thunderbird caching problem
Using a fairly simple dovecot config (which obviously needs some max limit tweaking) we have problems with IMAP synchronization between thunderbird clients. Two TB clients in the same IMAP mailbox will, from time to time, show different views of the same INBOX folders, when TB caching is enabled. The only fix is to right-click on the folder, go to "Properties" and use the "Repair Folder" option which repairs the local TB .msf cache file. Is there any server-side fix/workaround that would keep TB from regularly going out-of-sync ? This happens with TB3 and newer versions, in concert with either dovecot 1 or 2. The obvious fix is to disable TB local caching, which unfortunately also disables certain search features and can be a pain for large mailboxes. # dovecot -n # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (7168) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=2048 } is lower than required under max. load (3075) # OS: OpenBSD 5.0 amd64 ffs auth_default_realm = dovecot.org auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 apop auth_username_translation = :@ default_client_limit = 2048 default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull default_process_limit = 1024 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 125 first_valid_uid = 125 mail_location = maildir:/mail/%d/%n/ managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/default.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { user = mail } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } ssl_cert =
[Dovecot] web interface for user creation/vacation
What are the best web interfaces for user/domain management, perhaps one that also allows individual users to edit vacation msgs? Right now I'm using a postfixadmin based mysql control panel. Curious what is the better stuff out there that people are using with dovecot/sieve these days? Are there any decent front-ends to setup/manage per-user sieve filters?
Re: [Dovecot] Max OS X 10.5 Mail + Dovecot
Well the symptom is that the OS X mail client just times out. It talks to port 993 on the server for a while, but just shows the user a moving icon. Eventually it complains the mail server didn't respond. 10.3 and 10.4 work fine, strangely enough. It times out as it's "checking connection to the mail server." I did upgrade from dovecot 1.0 to 1.1 without doing much of any config changes on the dovecot side. But other clients work fine... Actually I just realized while watching tcpdump that Mail.app is testing port 25 after 993. So it may be a Postfix SSL failure of some sort.

[Dovecot] Max OS X 10.5 Mail + Dovecot
Hi, People using the new OS X mail client are unable to connect to the unsigned dovecot-mkcert.sh certificate on my Dovecot installations. Turning off SSL fixes the problem. Is there any way to make it work automatically, or do I just have to get the certificates signed? Has anyone figured this one out before? Thanks, Chris
[Dovecot] Stopping imap synchronization on spool failure
Is there any way to tell an IMAP client to not synchronize/delete old mail through IMAP? Let's say that recent events cause a mail spool to not exist, but people may still want to see old messages that are already cached on their machines.
