Pigeonhole : how to automatically subscribe to newly created folders

[Erwan David via dovecot]

Hello,

In my sieve script I use

fileinto :create "mailbox"

Is it possible that the created mailbox is then automatically added to 
the subsccribe list for the account ?

Hello all!

Recently I upgraded my mail server to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and ever since then I am 
periodically getting some dovecot errors like the below in my mail log. As far 
as I can tell, my unix perms are just fine. What is ACL/MAC?

Aug 20 14:41:58 mail dovecot: imap(u...@domain.com)<56316><1NieGKPmuOdKwxVI>: Error:

egid=1000(austin) UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?))

And here is the listing showing the permissions for that file.

What in the world is causing these errors, and what can I do about them?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check wether your linux distribution uses SeLINUX or Apparmor ? In that 
case you would have to check their policy to give dovecot access to this 
directory.



No, I’m not familiar with SeLinux or Apparmor. Tell me what I should do or 
check.

Thanks!

I'm not sure. apparmor logs in kern.log

You can try a grep mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com /var/log/*.log 
for a start

I see same symptoms when opening a mail in thunderbird 2 or 3 weeks 
after I received it, without moving it in another folder.
Burt using "repair folder" in TB, I get it back, so for me it looks more 
like a TB cache problem.

Hello

I am trying to move authentication from ldap to passwdfile. 
Autentication works, but clients do not find the mails.



With ldap I have :

root@email:~ # doveadm auth login erwan x
passdb: erwan auth succeeded
extra fields:
 user=erwan
userdb extra fields:
 erwan
 home=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan
 /var/db/mailboxes/erwan=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan
 uid=587
 gid=587
 auth_mech=PLAIN

With passwdfile I get

root@email:~ # doveadm auth login erwan x
passdb: erwan auth succeeded
extra fields:
 user=erwan
userdb extra fields:
 erwan
 home=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan,uid=587,gid=587
 uid=587
 gid=587
 auth_mech=PLAIN

The only difference is this 
"/var/db/mailboxes/erwan=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan" (which is the place 
where email is stored).



There is an obvious other difference in the home field... Sorry I only 
saw it when reading again my email...

auth configuration is :

/usr/local/etc/dovecot/users

}

userdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users

  # Default fields that can be overridden by passwd-file
  #default_fields = quota_rule=*:storage=1G

  # Override fields from passwd-file

You must not put an opening parenthesis before the "header :contains",
it is the second clause of the anyof

Hi,

Is there a way to transform  a "*mbox*" structure ( in the folder : like 
/var/spool/mail/ ) into a *maildir* structure ?


I would dream to see a doveadm instruction doing something like :

this.. That would be great !!  :-)


Thanks and regards

Just the server running alone.

Is that normal to get "lsub" ... empty ? Evertything available should be 
available ?


So, how can I reactivate the vsibility via Dovecot cmd line ?

It used to work fine.. and suddently, it disappeared.. Done nothing.. ( 
se server was on test only and visible just by me )


Thanks




LSUB shows you the list of subscribed mailboxes. If you want a 
mailbox/folder to appear in the result of LSUB you must use the 
SUBSCRIBE command.
However it is usually much easier to do through an imap client other 
than telnet (what you call "dovecot cmd line" is indeed using telnet as 
an imap client)

Check the subscribed mailboxes, thunderbird shows only them.

In thunderbird, right click on the account, then "subscirbe" (sorry I do
not remember the Imap command to get the scuscibed mailboxes)

Thunderbird has native caldav support, you get carddav with the cardbook
extension, no problem.

Better to use DNS SVR records than guess from MX or domain.  I provide 
email SVRs but does any mail client use them?

There is config-v1.1.xml, again I do not know which clients use, hence 
what I should provide, maybe I carry on providing as many methods as I can.





Here is what Thunderbird does :

Here it is the certificate presented on the pop3 port (either port 110
with a STLS command or port 995)

Here it seems te site tests the smtp server (on port 25), which is not
handled by dovecot. You probably have different certificates on both.
