[Dovecot] global vs user script
What is the order of execution if both user and global sieve script exists? Thanks.
Re: [Dovecot] Return error instead of dying on time back skip?
Hello Amon, Amon Ott, 02.05.2007 (d.m.y): All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline for a while before they get contact to a time server, e.g. because of DSL problems. Define one of your internal systems as master time server that connects to other NTP servers outside your networks and make your other systems synchronize their system time with this machine.

Thanks for the tip, but these are customer systems. Most of them only buy one server system from us and have Windows clients behind. So there is no other system available, which could be master. Instead, our server is supposed to be time master. :) From customer point of view, the mail server does not work without reason. An error message would help to understand the problem and the proposed behaviour would keep dovecot running. Now some of them just reboot the system (Windows users...), this is not the desired solution.

[Dovecot] Moving new email from the mail spool to the inbox

Re: [Dovecot] Moving new email from the mail spool to the inbox
Hi Adrian, I'm thinking this is more of an issue with your MTA, as usually that's responsible for delivering into the mailbox's Inbox. You might want to look at Dovecot's LDA, deliver (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA). Deliver takes an e-mail piped from your MTA, with appropriate options on the command-line, and delivers it into the relevant mailbox correctly. Regards, Andy.

[Dovecot] sporadic slow/non response, problems copying to sent folder
After experiencing these symptoms through many of the release
candidates, we've been at v1.0.0 now for a few weeks, and they're still
there. Perhaps a config issue with my setup (mbox locks?). It's really
too disrupting to continue using this way. I've included symptoms,
client info, mta info, log entries and config file. What other
information can I provide? Please advise.
Thanks, Danno
symptoms:
1. Coming back to the idle client, and clicking on a newly arrived
message, often a long delay (seems like minutes, sometimes) will occur
before the message loads from the server.
2. Sending messages, as often as not, the client will stall, sometimes
indefinitely, on copying message to sent folder.
client:
* usually not more than 2-3 clients running at any time.
* Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 (on XP)
* Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (on FreeBSD 5.5)
mta:
* Sendmail 8.13.6/8.13.6
* $sudo sendmail -bt -d0.10 /dev/null | grep HASFLOCK

Re: [Dovecot] Moving new email from the mail spool to the inbox
I guess you're delivering mail to /var/mail/username, and UW-IMAP snarfs (to use the UW term :)) the messages to ~/mbox (if it exists) whenever the user opens INBOX in IMAP. If so, I guess the problem is the Unix file-system clients which expect to see mail in /var/mail/username? Dovecot can do both IMAP and POP very well, (and you can specify the mail location for each user independently if you have to). You could configure Exim to deliver directly to the user's ~/mbox if, say, /var/mail/username is empty and ~/mbox exists, and assume that file-system clients will never have a ~/mbox or let /var/mail/username be empty. A bit yucky though! It might also be possible to write a Dovecot plugin to emulate the UW-IMAP snarf behaviour, but as far as I know, nobody has. We never used the snarf behaviour ourselves (except accidentally, when the new version of UW-IMAP I'd compiled had it built in by default, unnoticed by me, and a few ancient users had ~/mbox files ...) I have to say that our UW-IMAP - Dovecot transition was painless (transparent!) and that the performance gains were huge (otherwise we'd still be pruning user's INBOXes into folders for them every few months).

[Dovecot] Converting Courier mailboxes to Dovecot
Hi, I have around 100 mailboxes (maildirs) to convert from Courier IMAP (4.1.3) to Dovecot. (From a recent backup) I've tested a few mailboxes on Dovecot 1.0.0, and while the client doesn't notice any difference (at least in Thunderbird) I'm hoping to get rid of the old Courier folders and convert any useful information they may have into Dovecot. I've tried Timo's migration script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) but it fails at line 230 with a no file/directory error. At that line, it appears to be finding Courier's keywords folder (courierimapkeywords), and looking for a file called :list. However in my mailboxes, there's no file by that name, only what looks like a set of standard IMAP filenames, most of which are empty files. If I can't salvage anything useful, is there any adverse effects to me deleting all the courier* files/folders from each mailbox and subfolders so when the client connects back when Dovecot's running, it creates it's own UIDs and keywords etc? Thanks Andy.
Re: [Dovecot] read only bug?
Hello, Thanks for your reply. I have some read only maildirs outside my home. Actually those files and directories does not belong to me, I am only a member of the group which can read those files and change to those directories. This is a bit overworried security: not to loose any data by accident deletion. I was happy to be able to use those read-only maildirs in mutt, therefore I tried to make it work under dovecot. I did not want all my emails in one folder, it would be too big, that is why I sorted them into very-old folder and not-so-old-and-recent folder. Hence the very-old folder does not change (except once a year or so). And I was happy when I saw that dovecot supports read-only maildirs. (And for some reasons, dovecot wants to rename the mail from cur to new!) So my questions is: Can I disable this renaming feature somehow? ACLs are great, but this option would be only the next, if this filesystem-permission approach fails to work. Regards, A. __ 2600 állásból Te is találsz megfelelőt!

I rsync'ed from one mailserver to another and excluded the courier related files. Then I crawled each user's imap folders on both systems with a perlscript and wrote out the results to two files. As you suggest various logs/indexes were created by dovecot and all my accounts were the same. Baring a few deliveries. You will loose folder subscription information remember and I know nothing about shared folder stuff. Btw, the difference between courier and dovecot is insane the dovecot machine I am using is not a 3rd of the courier machine and the speed is quite impressive. I hope to see an additional advantage to using dovcot's lda deliver to prep these indexes as well. -- Gabriel Millerd
