If not, maybe your syslog is redirecting them elsewhere. Try setting: log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log There's no point in guessing what the problem is, because the auth debug logs would tell exactly what goes wrong.
Re: [Dovecot] Telnet access creates new maildir folders
Hi,
Now running Dovecot 2.0.8 and still having the same issue:
Postfix sends emails to /var/mail/vmail/username (username is
u...@domain.com) but Dovecot looks for email in /var/mail/vmail/user
How to alignt he two ?
Dovecot -n gives:
-
auth_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
first_valid_gid = 0
last_valid_gid = 12000
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%u/
managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character

sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
protocols = imap pop3
ssl_cert = , method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1,
lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=20333, secured

dovecot: pop3(oren): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0,

-
But in Dovecot documentation, it says that the variable %u is the "full
username (e.g. u...@domain) ". So mail_location should indeed send Dovecot
to /var/mail/vmail/u...@domain.com, shouldn't it ? So why is Dovecot looking
at /var/mail/vmail/user instead ?
I'm lost...
[Dovecot] user x...@mydomain.com doesn't exist
new setup of Dovecot 2.0.8 with postfix local users are simply defined as Linux users named xxx, yyy et cetera; IMAP access is fine with that users. Postfix is delivering mails with two domains (to x...@mydomain.com or x...@mydomain.org) and these are rejected by dovecot with 550: user doesn't exist. I've tested the possible usernames with "doveadm user" xxx: okay x...@mydoman.com: "userdb lookup: user x...@mydomain.com doesn't exist" x...@mydoman.org: "userdb lookup: user x...@mydomain.org doesn't exist" Dovecot2 wiki says "Dovecot doesn't care much about domains in usernames" Okay, how to I get dovecot to ignore the domain part (or accept the two defined domains) when mails are delivered from postfix? Or do I have to configure Postfix to strip the domain part before delivering to dovecot? Regards Birte Nauer

[Dovecot] Can doveadm rebuild thread indexes?
I'm already using "doveadm search" to update my squat fts indexes (dovecot.index.search and dovecot.index.search.uids) but I'd like to also update dovecot's thread index file (dovecot.index.thread) using doveadm. I checked the new wiki and the archives but didn't see any option for this. (I'm running 2.0.8) The alternative (AFAIK) is to write a script that signs in to IMAP and does "thread references UTF-8 ALL" in each folder. As an aside, could the dovecot LDA do any of this work? I'd surely be willing to spend the resources at delivery time to keep those indexes updated if it meant I didn't have to run a cron job to keep them updated. -David Warden

Thank you Timo. Setting mail_home solves my problem.

So, that's why that wasn't working. Setting this and restarting dovecot provides the flag_change events as expected. Existing messages that are in the cur directory but not marked with the ,S seen flag do not get any flag_change logged when viewed by the mail client, but I'm assuming this is either because the message is already in the cur directory or because when the mail client shows the folder that had unseen messages in the folder list, there are none marked unseen so the client doesn't mark as seen? I'll watch today and see if there are any new messages that don't get marked. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Renaming IMAP folders does not affect children
Hi,
we're using dovecot2.0 since August and very happy with it.
Just recently Thunderbird users reported problems when renaming folders,
and it seems that RFC 2060 (sec. 6.3.5) requires children of a renamed
folder to be renamed, too. This however does not happen:
Talking IMAP I get:
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a"
. rename "INBOX.NNN1" "INBOX.NNN2"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2"
There seems to be no problem the filesystem rights, since this works:
. rename "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a"
Am I misunderstanding RFC 2060, or is my config wrong (doveconf -n
below), or could it be a bug?
Cheers,
Johannes

Get first 100 characters from the message body / first mime part:
FETCH n BODY.PEEK[1]<0.100>
This of course hopes that [1] MIME part contains something usable. You
should probably also fetch BODY.PEEK[1.MIME] to see what it contains.
(Interestingly enough Dovecot happens to return message headers as
1.MIME when there are no MIME parts, but this won't work for other
servers.)

Fixed the crash by having it give error message instead:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/a293626e09e2
Then fix your config:

This is ok, although that kind of WHERE query can't use SQL indexes.
Better to use:
WHERE mail='%n' and domain = '%d'
> password_query = SELECT mail || '@' || domain as user, password as
> password, '/mail/' || domain || '/' || mail || '/maildir' as userdb_home,

Remove userdb_quota from here and add a userdb_quota_rule matching
user_query's one.
I'd also remove home/userdb_home from the above query and just use
global settings, also not making home same as mail location
(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home):
mail_home = /mail/%d/%n
mail_location = maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=~/indexes

Right, there's no way to see what flags changed with the current API. I
guess you could modify the API for that.. In maildir_sync_flags() the
old flags are in ctx->flags after:
/* get the current flags and keywords */
maildir_filename_get_flags(ctx->keywords_sync_ctx,
fname, &ctx->flags, &ctx->keywords);
And new flags are set to ctx->flags also later.
The API change could be something like:
struct mailbox_sync_notify {
enum mailbox_sync_type sync_type;
uint8_t old_flags, new_flags;
};
void (*sync_notify)(struct mailbox *box, uint32_t uid,
const struct mailbox_sync_notify *notify);
I guess I could do this change for v2.1.

This isn't always reliable (e.g. hostname could have 'T' letter in it).
You should first find the ':' in the filename and look for 'T' only
after that.
