[Dovecot] IMAP LIST command query.
Dear All, Can any one help me to give some clarification on LIST command (IMAP4ev1), actually I want to use a single INBOX in server and and supporting CREATE command i.e. not a single user can make any hierarchy I mean the inbox is not editable it will be fixed. So in this case on LIST command I think server will replay only with hierarchy delaminater and inbox name only. Am I right in this case. Regards, darshan

One minor point: make check is currently a noop but it exists sucessfully. I have a build system which tries make check and if unseccessful tries make test. Obviously, it does not work with sieve since make check always succeeds. Can you make check: an alias for test: or make it fail? No big deal if you can't.

[Dovecot] Problem with hard links in lda - please help
Hello, I'm trying to enable hardlinks for messages sent to mutiple users. (I need this because I have mailing lists with 5000 users used many times a day). I've read that, to do this, I have to write a script that uses the /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver command in this way: deliver -p FILE -d USER1 -d USER2 Of course, I enabled the socket listen option in the configuration file to get the command line work, and set the maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes The deliver command works, so I have the messages correctly in the new directory in the maildir folder. But if I list the files, they have the links number = 1, so I see that the file was copied, not hardlinked! I see in the page http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA that is possible, in fact it says Parameters [...] -p path: Path to the mail to be delivered instead of reading from stdin. If using maildir the file is hard linked to the destination if possible. This allows a single mail to be delivered to multiple users using hard links, but currently it also prevents deliver from updating cache file so it shouldn't be used unless really necessary. (v1.1+) Of course, I use a version 1.1+ (1.2.12). Please help, thanks in advance Fabio Ferrari

The important part is that your MTA calls a script (that you need to create) that gets multiple users as parameters, and then you can call deliver -p for each one of them separately. I don't think MTA can call the delivery script with 5000 parameters, so there must be some duplication always. Also mailing lists often send separate mails to users. If this is happening, hard linking can't be done because the mails are different.

[Dovecot] Questions about dbox (sdbox?), mdbox
Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one you're using). Is there any docs/wiki page for migrating from maildir - dbox? Searching for dbox on the wiki only returns two results, and only one is actually for dbox. What I have (maildir format) is working, but who doesnt like shiny new toys? =P I have ~450gigs / 14k pop accounts I would have to migrate. Oh thats another question, I have seen hybrid throw around, can I take this to mean dbox/mdbox/both support both formats, maybe only new mail goes into the dbox stuff? And if so (or even if not) is there any way to actually convert from maildir to dbox? If anyone has any links that I cant seem to find by consulting the oracle (google) that would be fantastic =)

I'd anyway recommend setting pop3_save_uidl=yes and sometimes after that (when you think everyone's logged in at least once) switching to pop3_uidl_format=%g while still running maildir. With Maildir the new UIDLs are then the filenames and with dbox the UIDLs will be message GUIDs. Those are much more permanent than anything based on IMAP UIDs. Not a requirement, but still :)

I came across a 2009 mailing list entry where you showed some benchmark tests that had mdbox as the fastest. Without any experience yet, my only possible hangup is being able to restore individual (lost, whatever other reason) mails for customers. Doesnt really happen but being able to restore individual versus their whole mailbox is nice, but it happens so rarely it may be a non issue.

Or does it have to perform some kind of list or other action? Any main/major/big reasons to try to go with mdbox over sdbox? sdbox being really simple = less prone to typos and other bad things happening? Oh, what about if i migrate to sdbox, then decide to go with mdbox, will I want to know for sure ahead of time? Granted I guess thats kind of an obvious yes, but any big gotchas to know about if I did? Oh yea and dovecot kicks ass btw =P

Daniel may be wanting to know if Dovecot v2 sources have to be patched to use managesieve as v1 sources do. I believe I read that Dovecot v2 will not need to be patched to use Pigeonhole Managesieve. Does Dovecot v2 need to be patched to use either of the Pigeonhole sieve or managesieve? Thanks, Bradley Giesbrecht
[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 (latest on website), client workarounds?
What are the current valid imap_client_workarounds and pop3_client_workarounds? I had a tb-folder one, and outlook-idle i imap, and i kept getting errors. The only one that would seem to not give an error was imap.conf: imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail pop3.conf: pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh

My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for
production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the
other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with
running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one you're
using).
sdbox is really simple. mdbox is more complex. A few people have used sdbox
with v1.x, but it's more or less rewritten with v2.0. With v2.0 I'm not
aware of any sdbox installations, but there is at least one somewhat large
mdbox installation. They've had some problems, but I think those are mostly
gone now.
Any recommendation of one over the other? I came across a 2009 mailing
list entry where you showed some benchmark tests that had mdbox as the
fastest. Without any experience yet, my only possible hangup is being
able to restore individual (lost, whatever other reason) mails for
customers. Doesnt really happen but being able to restore individual
versus their whole mailbox is nice, but it happens so rarely it may be
a non issue.
Is there any docs/wiki page for migrating from maildir - dbox?
dsync migrates between any two mailbox formats and does it as perfectly as
it can. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync
Awesome, I'll go do some reading and mess with that
I have ~450gigs / 14k pop accounts I would have to migrate. Oh thats
another question, I have seen hybrid throw around, can I take this
to mean dbox/mdbox/both support both formats, maybe only new mail goes
into the dbox stuff? And if so (or even if not) is there any way to
actually convert from maildir to dbox?
v1.x had some kind of a maildir/dbox hybrid.. until I realized it was just
a bad idea. You can have per-user mail location defined in userdb though,
so you can convert users a few at a time.
Another question, if there is such a conversion tool, does it break
UIDLs and require pop3 clients to redownload messages?
dsync is awesome and preserves everything. But test it anyway just in case.
I'd anyway recommend setting pop3_save_uidl=yes and sometimes after that
(when you think everyone's logged in at least once) switching to
pop3_uidl_format=%g while still running maildir. With Maildir the new UIDLs
are then the filenames and with dbox the UIDLs will be message GUIDs. Those
are much more permanent than anything based on IMAP UIDs. Not a
requirement, but still :)
Cool, if anything I could just have a script login to every users
account and logout and that would do the same thing right? Or does it
have to perform some kind of list or other action?
Any main/major/big reasons to try to go with mdbox over sdbox? sdbox
being really simple = less prone to typos and other bad things
happening?
Oh, what about if i migrate to sdbox, then decide to go with mdbox,
will I want to know for sure ahead of time? Granted I guess thats kind
of an obvious yes, but any big gotchas to know about if I did?
Oh yea and dovecot kicks ass btw =P
Ok I got all migrated over to dovecot2 configuration, and started to
dive into this converting business... one thing I immediately fell
into is that the wiki doesnt say anything about namespace issues. I
return maildir:~/maildir in my current setup via prefetch/sql, and I
got errors trying to do
dsync -u bran...@olypen.com mirror mdbox:~/mdbox
Do I need some special namespace configuation/setup?
I think I may have got it, I added the following to my 10-mail.conf
# maildir
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix =
# location = maildir:~/maildir
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
# mdbox
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix = #mdbox/
location = mdbox:~/mdbox
inbox = no
hidden = no
}
[Dovecot] namespace trouble
I am having some trouble with dovecot 1.2.12 and some namespace issues, or at
least that's what I think is the issue. I setup a virtual mailhosting using
mysql and postfix. I can receive email and send email without a problem, but
when I use mutt to sign in to dovecot, I can't list any Folders, it see's
INBOX but it doesn't see any mail. I generally try to not post my problems
online, but I searched around on the Internet and I couldn't find anything
similar to this issue.
I also used kmail to connect to the and it is able to see the mail, but when I
can't create any folders.
mutt connecting option:
mutt set spoolfile=imaps://server.here/INBOX.
Here is the mutt debug (mutt -d 3)
4 a0001 OK Capability completed.
4 * LIST (\Noselect) .
4 a0002 OK List completed.
4 a0003 STATUS Drafts (MESSAGES)
a0004 SELECT INBOX

dovecot.conf (part of it, tell me if you want more)
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
namespace private {

Thank you Very much.
