[Dovecot] IMAP IDLE, Virtual mailboxes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, K-9 Mail (on Android) has been mentioned on this list multiple times recently, I think it's definitely an IMAP client on the rise. :) It supports IMAP IDLE, and so brings push mail to Android mobile phone users. To bring this into the context of this mailing list: I guess a lot of people on this list are making use of server-side filtering (using sieve), so that mails from certain persons or mailing lists end up in the right mailboxes, right on delivery. Now, this is all great, but there are issues when server-side filtering and IMAP IDLE come together: Only one mailbox can be watched with one IMAP IDLE connection. So, people who have set up elaborate server-side filtering with say, 50 different sieve fileinto calls, will constantly have a *lot* of IMAP IDLE connections open, if they really want to get informed of any mail arriving in any of their mailboxes. Keeping those 50 IMAP connections open wouldn't cost much bandwidth, and who cares about the Internet router's connection tables getting unnecessarily big, anyway? But then there is the problem of a mobile phone being carried around constantly, switching physical connections (from WLAN access point 1 to WLAN access point 2 to 3G to 2G to no connection at all and back), every time needing to terminate* those 50 IMAP connections, and then establish 50 new ones (with SSL handshake overhead and all). So, all in all, not an optimal solution. *) (which does not always happen the way it should, see http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=1255) I see two ways to improve the situation (one of them quite dovecot-centric): 1) A new extension of the IMAP protocol: IMAP MULTI-IDLE, which somehow allows a client to get notified of changes to more than one mailbox within one IMAP connection. This conflicts with the basic IMAP design though, AFAIK, and is thus not likely to be feasible. 2) Enhancing dovecot's Virtual plugin, so virtual mailboxes do not only get updated on select and expunge, but also when anything changes that affects the set of messages shown in the virtual mailbox. I guess that would have an impact on performance, and thus should be optional. Let me explain the second one: With the help of the Virtual plugin, it is possible to pull all those 50 mailboxes that receive incoming mail together again, just like the INBOX of the pre-server-side-filtering times - the user could configure a virtual mailbox to show all unread mails from those 50 mailboxes. Now the mobile IMAP IDLE users could just watch that one virtual mailbox, needing only one IMAP IDLE connection. After having read the mail (directly in the virtual mailbox), it would disappear, but of course still be in the real mailbox, determined by the sieve filter on delivery.

Re: [Dovecot] push mail support
Hi Robert, I am testing dovecot imap idle feature on Nokia N97 with profimail client 3.X I configured profimail to use imap-idle I enabled use push email option and set IDLE ping time 5 min imap_idle_notify_interval=120 Here is the explanation of profimail parameters. - *Use Push email* - enable or disable Push email (IMAP IDLE) connection mode on this account. - *IDLE ping time* - tweak settings for keeping IMAP IDLE connection alive. By default you don't need to change this. You may set it lower if your mail server closes IDLE connection after shorter time. Profimail works fine after configuring for a while. It receives mails from imap successfuly but after 5-10 minutes later profimail gets *failed to connect(time out)* error. There are following entires in the /var/log/maillog *dovecot: IMAP(user): Connection closed: Connection reset by peer bytes* I could not find the root cause of the problem. I changed IDLE ping time from 1 to 10 on the phone. Unfortunately the result is the same. It gets timeout error after working short time. Should I change imap_idle_notify_interval or any other parameter in server side?

Re: [Dovecot] Problems with masteruser
Quoting Неворотин Вадим nevoro...@gmail.com: It's look like a big bug. As I understang there shouldn't be any different between logging in with masteruser and normal log in. But in my system I can't use masteruser at all due to IMAP errors. It works for me, with two exceptions: 1) The acl issue I mentioned. 2) It doesn't work right in my webmail for anything but the e-mail part, since the webmail retains the user as master*real instead of just real. So it does log me in and show me the mail, but everything else (preferences, filters, address book, etc) don't work right. The webmail has hooks which should allow me to fix this, but I've not had time to figure that out yet. So basically, it works for me, which just two little annoyances (one is dovecot specific, the other is actually my webmail and not dovecot). -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!

I have the mail_log plugin currently enabled like so: mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size -- 2. segfault reported in the system log (unrelated to the error above): kernel: pop3[6794]: segfault at 0028 rip 00403489 rsp 7fff20a24a20 error 4 -- Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net
Re: [Dovecot] Problems with masteruser
Well, the main idea of master users is to able to log in as normal user with master password. So IMAP client shoudn't know at all that it work with masteruser password. And IMAP process must be exactly the same. If you can find difference between login*master and login - then there is a bug in master users implementation. I see a big difference 2010/4/9 Eric Rostetter rostet...@mail.utexas.edu Quoting Неворотин Вадим nevoro...@gmail.com: It's look like a big bug. As I understang there shouldn't be any different between logging in with masteruser and normal log in. But in my system I can't use masteruser at all due to IMAP errors. It works for me, with two exceptions: 1) The acl issue I mentioned. 2) It doesn't work right in my webmail for anything but the e-mail part, since the webmail retains the user as master*real instead of just real. So it does log me in and show me the mail, but everything else (preferences, filters, address book, etc) don't work right. The webmail has hooks which should allow me to fix this, but I've not had time to figure that out yet. So basically, it works for me, which just two little annoyances (one is dovecot specific, the other is actually my webmail and not dovecot). -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!

wouldn't it be nice to have RFC 4468 Actually, Apple contributed such support a few hours ago but it's stuck in the mailing list queue because the patch is big. As soon as Timo approves the posting

If not, is there a plan to implement IMAP NOTIFY? Patrick. Keep in mind it still need at least one connection per mailbox if I correctly understood RFC. Also I don't know any client supporting IMAP NOTIFY yet.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.11, Quota and SQL
Sorry,
I have resolved my problem !
user_query wasn't executed because i defined a userdb_static. I have
defined a userdb_static because Dovecot couldn't find my maildir
locations... But it wasn't the good solution !
So :
1 - I removed userdb_static
2 - I modified my dovecot-sql.conf file to get an absolute path to
home (my first problem was here in fact) :
user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', path) AS home, uid, gid,
concat('*:storage=', quota, 'M') AS quota_rule FROM admin_mailbox WHERE
full_address = '%u'
Now, it's OK :)
Thanks for Dovecot !

Re: [Dovecot] RFC 4468
Erik Logtenberg put forth on 4/9/2010 9:12 AM: You know, I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have RFC 4468 (Message Submission BURL Extension) support in dovecot? Maybe we should ask the guys from Apple to contribute some support for it, I have a gut feeling they would gladly do so ;) There's an active BURL thread on the postfix-users list right now and it seems Wietse and Victor are open to looking at the idea. Timo have you had any chats with Wietse and/or Victor about BURL, Postfix, and Dovecot as of yet? I'm just assuming for some reason that you've interacted with Wietse in the past on one level or another. My apologies if this is not the case. Anyway, seems the time may be right to engage this feature and coordinate with some MTA devs to get it working correctly. Does anyone know if Firefox has support for BURL submission yet, or does it even need it? I've not looked at the actual message paths defined by this extension yet. My assumption is that with this extension, the MUA submits the message to the IMAP server and then the IMAP server forwards it to the MTA. Or do I have it backwards? -- Stan

The patch adds the concept of submit users. Submit users are like
master users in that they may log in as any user. However submit users
can use only a limited set of commands: just URLFETCH, ID, CAPABILITY
(although the capabilities are a lie since submit users can't use most
commands), and LOGOUT. This restriction enables an IMAP server to allow
a BURL-capable submission server to use URLFETCH commands without
risking a huge security breach if a submit user's credentials are
compromised. In other words, you can safely enable limited-power submit
users without enabling super-user master users.
Hmm. They are quite similar though. Maybe it could internally work pretty much
the same as master user, except have a single flag saying it's a submit user,
and based on that deny the commands. And actually this could be merged with the
support for checking if user is anonymous. So something like:
MASTER_USER=submit
USER_TYPE=anonymous | normal | submit
The patch adds a non-standard X-PLAIN-SUBMIT authentication method
specifically to allow plain-text submit user logins while plain-text
regular user logins are not allowed. This lets the system administrator
configure the same submit user and password credentials on both the
submission server and the IMAP server.
With v2.0 it's possible to do:
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
remote submit.domain.org {
disable_plaintext_auth = no
}
I think that takes care of the need for X-PLAIN-SUBMIT?

It could probably use lib-dict instead. I was actually originally thinking
about using METADATA plugin as storage for these, but just configuring a
lib-dict backend would probably be fine too. Like:
urlauth_dict = file:~/Maildir/urlauthkeys
or
urlauth_dict = proxy::urlauth
dict {
urlauth = pgsql:/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf
}
