[Courier-imap] Sub(sub)folders creation headaches
Hello list, For a couple of days now, I've been trying to have the following MUAs create subfolders on a Courier IMAP (4.0.6) server, using Maildir storage (of course) and IMAP as a protocol: * KMail 1.9.6, * Thunderbird 1.5 (Windows), * Outlook 2003 So far, the only successful attempt was with KMail, but I had to use the quite ugly syntax INBOX.firstleveldir.secondleveldir. No way with OutLook or Thunderbird. From what I could google off the web, I've learned that: * the original Maildir specification does _not_ allow for nested subfolders, * Maildir++, however, does, and has been developped specifically for and by the Courier IMAP team, * Courier IMAP claims to implement IMAP as well as it can be, given the state of specifications. On our internal system, which uses wu-imapd (I know) and mbox storage, I have no trouble at all creating subfolders, even if a folder cannot contain messages. I can even migrate the whole mbox tree to a Maildir tree and it's viewed correctly by all MUAs cited above. But creation is a no no, except with the KMail hack. For this reason, I cannot envision a move to Courier IMAP for our internal system and am considering Dovecot and... mbox storage, since Dovecot suffers the exact same problems when using Maildir (except that I cannot even create subfolders with KMail this time). What's more, I don't see any relevant configuration directive in the IMAP server configuration file that could help --- at least, not a directive that is documented. Do you have any enlightenment on whether this can work at all? Is it written somewhere in the documentation and I have overlooked it (which I certainly do not reject as a possibility)?

[Courier-imap] [OT?] Migrating from uw-imapd (MAIL env var + mboxes) to Courier-IMAP (full Maildir): any suggestions?
Hello everyone, At work, we have a middle term project (planned for this summer) to migrate all mail to a newer server. This implies changing the authentication scheme (this I can handle, after all _I_ will make the authentication scheme and have prior experience with Courier IMAP) and the mailboxes --- and it's this latter point which causes me headaches. The situation is as such: for now we use uw-imapd, which stores the INBOX in the MAIL environment variable, which is setup to /var/spool/mail/$USER. For the subdirectories, everything is stored in $HOME/mail for each user (so, for instance, a mailbox named Test in the IMAP tree would be in an mbox file named $HOME/mail/Test). I know programs to convert from mailboxes to Maildirs exist (I have even used one at some occasion, with success). But the problem here is that the INBOX and the subdirectories are _not_ located at the same place, so I cannot use this tool to migrate both the INBOX and subdirectorires separately - or can I? Would you have any suggestions on how I can achieve this? I'm at a loss here and would appreciate any pointers, even if it's the RTFM kind of pointers.

Which kind I should use (ex. md5, encrypt), so imap courier as well as postfix and squirellmail understand encrypted passwords too? I do use crypted passwords here, the classical crypt(3) way. MySQL has the ENCRYPT() function to do that. For Courier authlib, you'll need to set the MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD variable instead of MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD. If Courier handles these, Squirrelmail will, too, provided it uses Courier for authentication. For Postfix, it's a little more complicated, and out of the scope of this mailing list, I think. I suggest you join the #postfix channel on Freenode (irc.freenode.net), I hang by there and do use encrypted passwords with Postfix and Courier, using saslauthd and pam_mysql. I'd also advise you to do it step by step: Courier is the easiest to set up, so add a field to your database containing the crypted password, test with Courier, and only then try Postfix. SASL is a pain. -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] One2team - 12bis rue de la Pierre Levée - 75011 PARIS +33683877875, +33143381980 - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Courier-imap] Courier Imap cant authenticate virtual users

When i try to authenticate using pop3, work perfectly; i fetch my messages without any problem; but if try to use imap, simply the auth cant be stablished; exist some difference between the courier-pop auth process and the courier-imap? how can i find the cause about this problem? Both use the Courier authlib mechanism to authenticate. Try and debug what happens at this level. Add DEBUG_LOGIN=1 or DEBUG_LOGIN=2, but beware, the latter shows passwords in the logs. -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] One2team - 12bis rue de la Pierre Levée - 75011 PARIS +33683877875, +33143381980 - Take Surveys.

Re: [Courier-imap] Removing quotas

The guide is http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/ - with some adaptations as I run Gentoo and not Debian. I've already removed the necessary configuration from Postfix. try: rm $HOME/Maildir/maildirsize If the quota is stored in your MySQL or LDAP backend you may need to clear that field also. No maildirsize... Probably because I created maildirs by hand using maildirmake. There is a quota field in the users table but it's not referenced anywhere. So I guess I'm all set already.

[Courier-imap] Courier POP3D{, -SSL} won't start, and logs remain silent
Hello,
I've a big problem starting courier-pop3d or courier-pop3d-ssl, neither
will start and I cannot figure out why. I have no logs _at_ _all_.
On this same machine, the IMAP server is already running (with TLS
support) along with the authdaemon. Both work flawlessly. This is Courier
IMAP 4.0.3 and Courier authlib 0.58, on a Gentoo 2006.1.
Here's the pop3d configuration file (comments stripped):
PIDFILE=/var/run/pop3d.pid
MAXDAEMONS=100
MAXPERIP=100
POP3AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN
POP3AUTH_ORIG=PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 CRAM-SHA1 CRAM-SHA256
POP3AUTH_TLS=PLAIN LOGIN
POP3AUTH_TLS_ORIG=PLAIN LOGIN
POP3_PROXY=0
PORT=110
ADDRESS=0
TCPDOPTS=-nodnslookup -noidentlookup
LOGGEROPTS=-name=pop3d
POP3DSTART=YES
MAILDIRPATH=.maildir
MAILDIR=.maildir
PRERUN=
LOGINRUN=
Here's the pop3d-ssl configuration file (the pop3d.pem certificate does
exist):
SSLPORT=995
SSLADDRESS=0
SSLPIDFILE=/var/run/pop3d-ssl.pid
SSLLOGGEROPTS=-name=pop3d-ssl
POP3DSSLSTART=YES
POP3_STARTTLS=YES
POP3_TLS_REQUIRED=1
COURIERTLS=/usr/sbin/couriertls
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL3
TLS_STARTTLS_PROTOCOL=TLS1
TLS_CERTFILE=/etc/courier-imap/pop3d.pem
TLS_VERIFYPEER=NONE
TLS_CACHEFILE=/var/lib/courier-imap/couriersslcache
TLS_CACHESIZE=524288
MAILDIRPATH=.maildir
MAILDIR=.maildir
Here's the authdaemonrc configuration:
authmodulelist=authmysql
authmodulelistorig=authvchkpw
daemons=10
authdaemonvar=/var/lib/courier/authdaemon
DEBUG_LOGIN=1
DEFAULTOPTIONS=disablepop3=0
LOGGEROPTS=-facility=mail
The authmysqlrc file:
MYSQL_SERVER localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME someuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD somepassword
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE mail_data
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 1001
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 1001
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD /home/vmail/mail
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD
CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')
Finally, here are the scripts used by Gentoo to launch the pop3d{,-ssl}
daemons. For both I verified that the different programs called did exist,
and they do. But the scripts themselves fail silently...
For pop3d (all comments stripped):
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
bindir=/usr/sbin
libexecdir=/usr/lib/courier-imap
source /etc/courier-imap/pop3d-ssl
source /etc/courier-imap/pop3d
export POP3DSTARTTLS=$POP3_STARTTLS
TLS_PROTOCOL=$TLS_STARTTLS_PROTOCOL
eval `sed -n '/^#/d;/=/p' /etc/courier-imap/pop3d | \
sed 's/=.*//;s/^/export /;s/$/;/'`
eval `sed -n '/^#/d;/=/p' /etc/courier-imap/pop3d-ssl | \
sed 's/=.*//;s/^/export /;s/$/;/'`
eval $PRERUN \
/usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger \
-stderrloggername=pop3d \
-maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \
-pid=$PIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \
$PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/pop3login \
/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-pop3d.indirect ${MAILDIR}
For pop3d-ssl:
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
bindir=/usr/sbin
libexecdir=/usr/lib/courier-imap
source /etc/courier-imap/pop3d
source /etc/courier-imap/pop3d-ssl
export POP3_TLS=1
eval `sed -n '/^#/d;/=/p' /etc/courier-imap/pop3d | \
sed 's/=.*//;s/^/export /;s/$/;/'`
eval `sed -n '/^#/d;/=/p' /etc/courier-imap/pop3d-ssl | \
sed 's/=.*//;s/^/export /;s/$/;/'`
eval $PRERUN \
/usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=$SSLADDRESS \
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger \
-stderrloggername=pop3d-ssl \
-maxprocs=$MAXDAEMONS -maxperip=$MAXPERIP \
-pid=$SSLPIDFILE $TCPDOPTS \
$SSLPORT $COURIERTLS -server -tcpd \
${exec_prefix}/sbin/pop3login \
/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-pop3d.indirect ${MAILDIR}
First thing, how do I obtain logs? Not having any is really troublesome
when you look into debugging what happens... And, well, the available
documentation is of no help.
Any help appreciated. Have a nice day,
