I'm currently using dovecot 2.0.7 Regards, Laurent Upgrading did the trick. Thanks

[Dovecot] Accessing maildir snapshots through dovecot
Hi, I'm currently having a fairly simple setup: - users (real, not virtual) - Maildir storage (over NFS) - 1 namespace I'm currently trying to render the storage snapshots available through dovecot (to allow my users to browse their mail history). dovecot.conf: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. type = private } I did the following modifications: dovecot.conf: namespace snaps-h0 { prefix = INBOX.EmailBackup.h0. hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:/home/.snapshot/hourly.0/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/tmp/dovecot/indexes/hourly.0/%u:CONTROL=/var/dovecot/control/hourly.0/%u type = private } Problem: I don't see the content of the inbox folder contained in the snapshots (subfolders are perfectly viewed). Do any of you have a clue on how to render it visible ? Thanks Laurent

Hi, Maybe by sending them an email with a deadline for the end of clear text auth support ? If they don't amend their setup they'll be unable to retrieve their emails. Should you want to go the "nicer" way, you could throttle bandwidth to port 110/143 provided you use those for insecure connections.

[Dovecot] Server load while using Zlib compression
Hi, I wonder if some users are using this plugin on production setups. If yes, how does it perform in terms of cpu load compared with the same setup without compression ? Thanks Laurent
