[Dovecot] cannot delete emails in inbox
I am working on upgrading our current squirrelmail and replace uw-imap with dovecot. I have what looks like a successful installation. My current setup is: Centos 5.2 sendmail 8.13.8 dovecot 1.1.17 (imap) squirrelmail 1.4.17 I can send and receive email fine. However when I try to delete an email in my Inbox, it doesn't get deleted. It only sends a copy to the Trash folder. But the email is still in the Inbox. I can purge and delete the contents in my Trash and Sent folder, no problem. I am not sure if this is a Squirrelmail issue or a Dovecot issue. Please advice. Thank you -- Jane
[Dovecot] Warnings compiling on OpenBSD 4.4 i386
Hi,
probably just nothing to worry about, but I get the following warnings
when building 1.1.7 on OpenBSD 4.4 on i386. If I remove the
--with-bsdauth config option, they all disappear. I won't use it anyway,
but maybe there are others.

Hi! I try to build a new 1.1.7 installation. Since I'm not a large sysadmin, just my own private mail server admin, I just wonder why the sysconf and state dirs defaults to $prefix?

Looks like using "As home" in the sql request corrected the problem :)

Your userdb returns /root as home directory. Show your

OK. Looks like I was a bit wrong. Your userdb doesn't return any

http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers#homedirs) and deliver
preserves HOME environment which is set to /root in your case.
That causes the chdir() error. I think I'll have to do something
about this in v1.2. The HOME environment shouldn't be preserved
when using -d parameter.

[Dovecot] convert non-standard mbox to maildir
Hi, Let me start with wishing you all the best for this new year, and I hope we'll see a lot of new features and not so much new bugs ;-) I'm trying to convert a number of PSTs to maildir. Just plain drag&drop in Outlook doesn't work (gives a very cryptic error message in a certain folder, but that folder is perfectly all right), and using the import option also barfs when it's not even half-way through the PST. So, I took aid4mail and it converted the PST to mbox wihtout any problem. But now, I have a directory structure, filled with mbox mailboxes. Like: INBOX INBOX/mailbox INBOX/subfolder INBOX/subfolder/mailbox INBOX/subfolder/subsubfolder INBOX/subfolder/subsubfolder/mailbox INBOX/subfolder2 INBOX/subfolder2/mailbox etc. This differs from normal mbox setup, but given the fact that there are both folders AND messages below inbox, this is indeed the only useful way to do it. But now I cannot convert this to maildir using either dovecot or mb2md, since it's not the usual mbox setup. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Maarten

[Dovecot] Dot in user name. Was: Re: Apple patch 9
Sorry for sneaking in this thread, but it might be a reason for a patch on the Apple side. Up until 10.3.9 Server, and 10.4 Client, I used to be able to create users with short name containing a dot. The latest OS doesn't allow that easily (there seem to be some not so clean workarounds), but the closest thing I can do is to create the primary short name with another character in place of the dot (for instance an underscore) and add an extra short name with the dot as I want it. Now, if I use PAM for authentication dovecot will not permit using the alternative dotted short name as it will seem to fail authentication. I do not remember exactly what is the issue, but I can do a test if you like. Other servers seem not to have an issue, just dovecot. Perhaps it is just an issue when interacting with PAM. Giuliano
