Director process actually doesn't know anything about mail protocols, it simply does username -> backend mapping. The regular Dovecot IMAP/POP3/LMTP/doveadm proxying code handles the rest.

[Dovecot] dovecot and unison
I am successfully using dovecot purely as a personal local mail store on my desktop. (There is only one account, and it's only ever accessed by local mail clients on the machine. The point is to have a common store I can use with any client; plus, I prefer dovecot's Mailbox storage to Thunderbird's mboxes.) Now I'd like if possible, to replicate this setup on my laptop and keep both in sync with unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/), which I am already using to sync much of my home dir about once a day. I found at least one positive message regarding this topic (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-April/048092.html), but I feel I could use some more advice. Namely, which of the ancillary files should I be syncing (or perhaps deleting before sync)? In addition to the mails themselves I'm seeing: -rw--- 1 fz 501 13 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot-keywords -rw--- 1 fz 501 2483 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot-uidlist -rw--- 1 fz 501 1040 Mar 29 14:50 dovecot.index -rw--- 1 fz 501 44032 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot.index.cache -rw--- 1 fz 501 9772 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot.index.log and at the top level (in .local/var/Maildir/): -rw--- 1 fz 501 8 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 fz 501 0 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot-uidvalidity.4efb323d -rw--- 1 fz 501 3288 Apr 1 17:10 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw--- 1 fz 501 4104 Mar 28 10:53 dovecot.mailbox.log.2 -rw--- 1 fz 501 5114 Apr 1 17:10 subscriptions In my naive trials I ended up at least once in a situation where Thunderbird would not see some subfolders (even though they were there). That's since fixed but I guess my question is, what's the safe recommended way to not have this happen? Thanks, FZiegler

[Dovecot] imapdir still a configuration option?
I've been looking at moving an old IMAPdir-based solution to dovecot. I came across references that dovecot (to my pleasant surprise) added imapdir support in 1.1. However, in trying 2.0.13 (from an OpenBSD package) things start okay, but I see in the logs: "Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Unknown mail storage driver imapdir" Poking around in the sources, I still see lots of references to imapdir, but see very little in the documentation. Is IMAPdir still supported in 2.0.x (or even 2.1.x)? I'd prefer not to have to migrate users via renaming, especially since they like the IMAPdir layout for their own searching. --Kurt

[Dovecot] imapsync, namespaces and Dovecot 2.x
Hi people, I recently tried to migrate from Exchange using imapsync. It didn't work because it complained that dovecot had no namespace capablity. After looking through Dovecot's config files I found that namespaces could be defined, but if you did not a 'private' default one was created. In the 2.x wiki documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration) it says nothing about Namespaces. I don't know if I have to create one or not. If I add the parameters --sep2 . --prefix2 '' to imapsync then it works fine. I'm proxying using dovecot as frontend and backend, version 2.0.18 (The one that comes with Debian Wheezy). Any thoughts, please? Thanks, Aleix.
[Dovecot] lmtp sometimes fails to deliver a message to all recipients
Dovecot version: 2.1.3
lmtp config:
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = zlib acl sieve
}
Running strace on lmtp reveals that when lmtp delivers a message to multiple
recipients it saves the message to a file in the first mailbox and hard links
that file to other mailboxes. But when in the meantime of delivery that file is
deleted, lmtp fails to deliver the message to remaining mailboxes. For example a
message for 46 recipients is delivered by lmtp to the first 12 only (fortunately
postfix retries delivery for remaining recipients) and for the rest lmtp logs
the following error messages:
lmtp(3344, foo@domain): Error: RU1WMnueeU9QDQABxjIODQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified:
failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Message was expunged (guid)
lmtp(3344, foo@domain): Error: RU1WMnueeU9QDQABxjIODQ: sieve: script
/vmail/domain/foo/.dovecot.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit keep (user
logfile /vmail/domain/foo/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details)
I'm seeing this error for about 10 messages per hour.

[Dovecot] Connection queue full on dovecot 2.0.13
Hi,
i have a problem with dovecot 2.0.13.
I have one dovecot in Front-end that has only:
passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y host=10.0.0.6 nopassword=y }
In Back-end i have one dovecot that does auth and exports imap/pop3 ports.
In dovecot's log of Front-end i see:
/Apr 02 14:33:34 imap-login: Info: proxy(//u...@example.com/
/): started proxying to
10.0.0.6:143: user=mailto:amministrazionevend...@pec.gmatica.it>/>, method=PLAIN,

*(auth failed, 1 attempts): user=mailto:amministrazionevend...@pec.gmatica.it>/>, method=PLAIN,
rip=//xx.xx.xx.xx//, lip=//xx.xx.xx.xx//, TLS/
I see this wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess but i read:
It works by using a number of long running login processes, each
handling a number of connections. This loses much of the security
benefits of the login process design, because in case of a security hole
(in Dovecot or SSL library) the attacker is now able to see other users
logging in and steal their passwords, read their mails, etc.
Is there another way?
Thanks

After some thinking, planning and consulting with my spiritual guides I realized I really should just go ahead and do it: From now on you can buy blessed Dovecot stones (http://www.dovecot.org/tmp/stone1.jpg), which are guaranteed to keep your email server running. I don't think there's really any further reason for me to provide commercial support. Probably the whole Dovecot mailing list will be pretty much useless after this as well, so I might as well stop posting there. If you have any problems, you'll just buy a Dovecot stone and the problem will go away. If for any reason that doesn't work, it means that your problem is more difficult than most and you need to buy a few more stones. Please remember that each shipment may take up to 3 weeks to reach you, so get your stones early and in sufficient quantities. A small email server will be happy enough with a single small Dovecot stone, but the more users you have the more stones you'll likely need. This is because most people are rather unhappy with their lives, and they project their negative energies towards their surroundings, including their email servers. To overcome this negative energy you need to have a counterbalancing positive energy, which the Dovecot stones will provide you. The Dovecot stones are hand painted from the finest materials available to the sister of the author of Dovecot that she could find in the local shops. Each stone contains such love and dedication towards the well being of Dovecot that you will shed tears when you lay your eyes upon their physical being. The images provided here unfortunately don't do justice to them. http://www.dovecot.org/tmp/stone2.jpg - This is how i keep my home desktop running all day every day. I have NEVER broken a single hard drive in my life. I don't even bother to keep backups, because I KNOW it is useless for me. A small Dovecot stone can be bought for 10 euros, a medium sized stone for 100 euros and a large stone for 500 euros. Each large stone can usually handle around 1000-2000 users before you need to buy more. If you have millions of users we'll need to find you a larger rock from my parents' backyard. There are only a limited number of such rocks available (we disposed of most of them to our neighbors' yards years ago), so their prices need to be negotiated in advance.

[Dovecot] setting up ldap for sasl
Greetings
im new to the list
dovecot --version
2.0.13
ubuntu 11.10
i want to use dovecot to authenticate my ldap users. My local users can
authenticate and send email. Using postfix sasl/tls dovecot pam.
I have read many docs/tutorials, which all have a plethora of options and
information. my file structure is different than most of the documentation.
I have ../etc/dovecot.conf which points to.
!include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol
!include conf.d/*.conf
!include_try local.conf
which leads me to /etc/dovecot/conf.d, which is full of config files. All were
traditionally located in dovecot.conf in previous versions.
im using PAM to authenticate my local system users. I have read that could
adjust PAM, to use LDAP.
How do I configure dovecot to keep using pam for local users and ldap for
remote ? Do i just add the passdb lines
dovecot.conf:
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb prefetch {
}
# The userdb below is used only by deliver.
userdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
dovecot-ldap.conf:
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,
homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid
# For deliver:
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid
any assistance would be helpful.

I have a box with dovecot/XMail (pop3/smtp) and two domains; DomainA and DomainB The company bosses decided to move about 20 mailboxes from DomainA to DomainB. As far as I can tell everything went well except for one user (so far) that he tries to move fresh mail to (mv'd) folders and it doesn't get there. Also when he tries to delete messages, they don't get deleted. I did "cp -r" actually and kept the old mailboxes nearby just in case. Thanks, s.

That worked for me when creating a backup copy of a mailbox, but with a different login. I copied mailbox A to mailbox B, then created an entry in the auth table that pointed to mailbox B. This was with maildir. I don't know if it works the same with all other types. Regards, Arne -- Arne K. Haaje http://www.drlinux.no/ LinkedIn: http://no.linkedin.com/pub/arne-haaje/27/189/bb

After some thinking, planning and consulting with my spiritual guides I realized I really should just go ahead and do it: From now on you can buy blessed Dovecot stones (http://www.dovecot.org/tmp/stone1.jpg), which are guaranteed to keep your email server running. I don't think there's really any further reason for me to provide commercial support. Alright Timo, where do I send the bill for my new keyboard?

Re: [Dovecot] Mail migration troubles
I have a suspicion that, as usual, no one is going to answer my message. Because of the fact that this is a call for help and no-one ever bothers, I 'll just have to re-phrase my question : Here's what I found on the dovecot wiki : imapsync Here's an example of how to run imapsync for a single user: imapsync --syncinternaldates \ --host1 192.168.1.57 --authmech1 LOGIN --user1 l...@example.com --password1 secret \ --host2 127.0.0.1--authmech2 LOGIN --user2 l...@example.com --password2 secret It is quite easy to script this for a number of users, assuming you have their passwords. Even if you do not, imapsync also supports logging in as an admin user that has the ability to copy message for sub users, and a variety of other authentication options. Is the above what I need if I migrate mailboxes FROM dovecot TO dovecot ? E.g. in my example, I only copy mailboxes from an old "u...@domaina.gr" to "u...@domainb.gr". Is the above all I need ? Is there a native dovecot tool for this or should I just use imapsync ? Thank you again, s.
