Re: [Dovecot] [OT] preferred clients
I lost the thread on the Sylpheed suggestion so I am replying here to let everyone know that installing (dead easy) and using (even easier) Sylpheed on my Windows XP netbook solved all of what I thought were Dovecot/IMAP problems. Apologies to Timo for the unnecessary complaints about non-existent problems. Both Dovecot and Sylpheed out-of-the-box will work without a lot of config if any at all. --David.

Re: [Dovecot] Postfix issue but I want to fix it here...
Not too lazy. At least here I got an answer. On Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:15:45 -0600 (CST) da...@davidwbrown.name wrote: > Hello, Dovecot bunch and Timo.

[Dovecot] dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections)
Hi, has anyone seen this issue before as I have not. I'm a long time dovecot user and I don't see anything in the config that should cause this. The mail.log gets hit a lot of times with this same log message: dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections) I have noted that it is more evident when I try to mass delete many messages. Any ideas of how to diagnose this issue? The dovecot -n follows: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.34.1-rscloud x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 5 login_max_processes_count: 256 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock auth default: realms: davidwbrown.name default_realm: dobbeltganger.com username_format: %n verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix
