Define "exact". 

Trust me, you don't want to include any meta data or filesystem overhead
in the quota value presented to the user. Doing so is just asking for
trouble and grief.

Thank you for your prompt answer.
Why does dovecot count only the raw size? Does this mean, dict quota is
not usable with maildirs? Is this true for sdbox also?

In addition to the answer from Timo:

deletes all those mails and expects a quota usage of 0 bytes. But the
quota is still at 20MB, because the directory inode has not been reduced
by the filesystem.

I guarantee you, you will get numerous support calls.

At least I got them while using filesystem-based quotas.


I'm sorry for the late response.

So, there is no exact or something closer solution with normal maildirs?

Re: [Dovecot] IMAP vs. POP3

If you do use IMAP, server disk space capacity can become an important
number to watch as most POP3 clients by default will delete the mail
from the server once downloaded.

Additionally there are end user support "load" as well. Do you have a
lot of users with a variety of skill levels and mail clients? Supporting
a large variety of user configurations can cause support problems.
Example, a user is using IMAP then switches to POP3 (either by accident
or otherwise) and suddenly you will get a call about how someone hacked
into their mail account and deleted all of their mail.

[Dovecot] Help a newbie...

[Juan Bernhard]

Hi every one! Im new to the list, and to dovecot. I foud this program
very usefull, scalable and with a serious security focus. So Im trying
to implement it here at work.
The first logical step is to read as much as I can, to build the best
possible configuration avaible... but i found that the wiki es a pour
source of serious information, filled with examples... examples are
great to learn, but I was loocking for something that describes every
dovecot.conf option (for example: mail_location = *string* default:
mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u bla,bla,bla...)

Or perhaps some one can give me some directions to start reading... any
help will be great.

Thank you!

Do you mean you would want both master and non-master users be
authenticated from a single PAM passdb? That won't work, you need
separate passdbs. You could probably configure two different PAM
services and use them both..

[Dovecot] example-config mail_log plugin options

Hello,

dovecot-2.0.12/doc/example-config/conf.d/10-logging.conf
contains

# mail_log plugin provides more event logging for mail processes.
plugin {
  # Events to log. Also available: flag_change append
  #mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename
  # Group events within a transaction to one line.
  #mail_log_group_events = no

}


"mail_log_group_events" seems to be gone (when and why?). And it's now
"save" instead of "append", with "mailbox_create" also available.

dont top post

configure outlook to use a imap folder i.e for sent
depends on outlook version
i cant remember if its allready possible with 2007 ( google says its
working )
for sure it works with 2010, before versions you need some macic with

The problem is that homeDirectory in there. It's not used at all currently. You

So Outlook doesn't give any error, just doesn't write the mail to the intended 
folder? I think it's Outlook configuration problem. There is nothing on 
Dovecot's side that you can do anyway. (Unless there's something really wrong, 
and in that case Dovecot should log error message about it.)

Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not

I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook
can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other
email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent
mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?

you should choose one default folder layout , and autocreate and

default folder layout, as TB works on all major plattforms
then configure your clients to use these default folders
should be no problem with roundcube, in outlook 2010 this works

you should choose one default folder layout , and autocreate and
autosubscribe it with dovecot, i would recommend to use thunderbird
default folder layout, as TB works on all major plattforms
then configure your clients to use these default folders
should be no problem with roundcube, in outlook 2010 this works
without the outlook spam folder,
in windows you can use reg patches gpo etc to auto configure folder
setup with outlook, but the truth is at recent you will not
goal a valid default auto folder configuration for all imap clients
you can only workaround it

jupp, 

hosts = ldap.domain.foo ldap2.domain.foo
auth_bind = yes
#auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=foo
ldap_version = 3
base = cn=accounts,dc=domain,dc=foo

[Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem

[Ceyhun Ganioglu]

Hi all,

 

I installed Dovecot-Postfix as an IMAP mail server and also RoundCube as
webmail. When I create an account using Postfix Admin and login to webmail,
roundCube creates the Junk Mail, Deleted Emails folder automatically. I also
added this account to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Following some tutorials on
the internet I created an Outlook rule to move the sent emails to the IMAP
server's sent mail folder. When I  send an email, the email disappears from
the default sent items of Outlook but it doesn't appear on the IMAP server's
sent items folder.

 

Do I have to set some kind of other permissions on the IMAP server to fix
this problem? My version of Dovecot is 1.2.16.

 

I want my clients use Microsoft Outlook and reach all received and sent
emails via webmail anywhere they go.

 

Many thanks

Ceyhun

Oh, I didn't notice earlier:

Don't use two auth {} blocks. That's the one causing this.
