Re: How to unsubscribe

That's not at all clear (quite apart from the double protocol prefix). A lot of the potential audience of this list "know" how Mailman works, so why have you broken that knowledge by delivering to those who have disabled mail delivery?

Problem (bug?) copying mail folders
I have reported a bug to Claws Mail
(http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3601);
however, I see some behaviour from Dovecot that looks odd to me.
Background: I am trying to copy a folder to another part of the IMAP
folder hierarchy. The destination parent folder is ACL protected; I
have lirwstpeak rights. Claws initially tries to create the destination
folder and then copy the mails from the source to destination.
The destination parent folder is 'public/accounts'; the folder being
moved there is 'test' and 'public/accounts/test' does not exist at the
start of the process. This is from Dovecot's rawlog:
11 LIST "" "public/accounts/test"
11 OK List completed.
12 CREATE "public/accounts/test"
12 OK Create completed.
13 LIST "" "public/accounts/test"
13 OK List completed.
14 SUBSCRIBE "public/accounts/test"
14 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: public/accounts/test
15 UID COPY 1:2 "public/accounts/test"
15 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: public/accounts/test
What I don't understand: the response to command 12 suggests that the
destination folder has been created; the response to commands 14 and
15 suggest it hasn't.
At the completion of the process, the 'public/accounts/test' folder
DOES exist, but it's empty, supporting the fact that it may not have
existed when command 15 was executed.
Is there some kind of race condition here - or have I just
misunderstood how this should work?

[Dovecot] Subfolders of Inbox with LAYOUT=fs
We've just converted to LAYOUT=fs. Some users had subfolders under Inbox,
and for those users some MUAs no longer show those folders.
The directory structure is that the cur, tmp and new folders are in the
'location' directory, but the subfolders are in
$location/INBOX/$foldername.
I am suspicious of this:
12 list INBOX
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) / INBOX
12 OK List completed.
I have tried moving the cur, tmp and new folders to $location/INBOX, and
changing 'location' in dovecot.conf, but the subfolders still do not show.
Question: is it legitimate to have subfolders of INBOX when using
LAYOUT=fs? If so, what am I missing?
Thanks,
Keith

Oh, looks like this has been broken for a while. Fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/589d2f485a6e Thanks Timo. Unfortunately we're using the packaged Debian version (2.1.7) and the current version of mailbox-list-fs-iter.c is a bit too different to apply that patch (but thanks for the very quick response). -- You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
Re: [Dovecot] Folder layout after Cyrus to Dovecot migration
Problem: We have some folders (eg, Trash) appearing both as sibling folders
to INBOX and as subfolders to INBOX. We want them only to appear at the
sibling level.
In order to put some folders (Sent, Trash, some others) at a peer
level to INBOX, and all other folders under INBOX, we've defined
namespaces as follows:
mail_location =
maildir:/shared/imapmail/users/%u:INBOX=/shared/imapmail/users/%u:LAYOUT=fs
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = INBOX/
inbox = yes
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = Trash/
location = maildir:/shared/imapmail/users/%u/Trash:LAYOUT=fs
inbox = no
}
In the file system, the mail_location for each user has all the top-level
mail folders plus the cur, tmp and new directories for INBOX, so, for
example, there is a directory in mail_location called Trash.
Is there a way to configure Dovecot to show Trash at the top level (as the
last namespace definition above does), yet not also show it as a subfolder
of INBOX?
Thanks,
Keith

[Dovecot] Folder layout after Cyrus to Dovecot migration
# dovecot --version
1.2.15
We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly
there.
On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is:
INBOX
subfolder
subfolder
...
Sent
Drafts
Queue
Trash
Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and
sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:
mail_location =
maildir:/shared/imapmail/users/%u:INBOX=/shared/imapmail/users/%u:LAYOUT=fs
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = INBOX/
inbox = yes
}
...however, the Sent/Drafts/Queue/Trash folders are now subfolders of
Inbox. Cyrus seems to default to the above layout (at least, I can't find
anywhere that defines it). There are no special settings in the MUA to
achieve the abovev. Is there a way of replicating the above within
Dovecot? We can probably go to V2 if we have to, but 1.2.15 would be
preferable.
Thanks,
Keith

[Dovecot] Managing public folder ACL files
We have a customer with a large public folder hierarchy. They occasionally make requests to have the public folder ACLs changed; for example: please give user X access to all public folders (that's nearly 1700 folders). Worse: please give user Y access to all sales folders (there are 1450 sales folders). The problem is that there are (naturally) spaces in the folder names, which makes command line manipulation challenging. We've ended up with some astonishingly hacky Python scripts that enter each folder starting with (for example) .sales and replacing the dovecot-acl file to try to fulfil the above requests. One day our script are going to get it wrong, or requests will become more complex (give X access all sales/CustA folders, Y access to all sales/CustB folders, and Z access to all sales folders). There must be a Better Way. How do others manage divergent ACLs within large public folder hierarchies? Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] ACL in public folders
# dovecot --version
1.2.1
I'm trying to configure ACLs for public folders. I have:
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = shared2/
location = maildir:/home/pubfolders2:INDEX=~/Maildir/public2
subscriptions = no
list = children
}
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = acl
}
plugin {
acl = vfile
}
I have /home/pubfolders2/dovecot-acl containing:
user=xyz lrwstiekxa
I've also hardlinked the file to /home/pubfolders2/.info (one of the
public folders: that dir contains cur,tmp,new).
Since enabling ACLs in dovecot.conf, none of the users see the 'shared2'
namespace.
I've clearly misunderstood something. I'm expecting user xyz to be able to
see the public folder.
Grateful for any pointers.
Thanks,
Keith
Re: [Dovecot] ACL in public folders

I think the Wiki is misleading: it says (on page http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL): Dovecot v1.0 and v1.1 supports administrator-configured ACL files. v1.2+ supports also IMAP ACL extension... If 1.2.1 doesn't read the dovecot-acl file, how are ACLs configured in that version? Also, which from which version is the dovecot-acl file supported? There's no mention of it being version specific (other than =v1.0) on the Wiki. Thanks, Keith
Re: [Dovecot] ACL in public folders
[Sorry, sent to Timo at first attempt]
With older versions you'd have to
put the dovecot-acl file to each maildir separately
Thanks, but it still isn't clear to me. I have (the same, hardlinked)
dovecot-acl file in lots of different places:
# tree /home/pubfolders2/ -a
/home/pubfolders2/
|-- .info
| |-- cur
| |-- dovecot-acl
| |-- dovecot-shared
| |-- new
| | `-- 1251457688.H922394P13547.magenta.tiger-computing.wbp
| `-- tmp
|-- Maildir
| `-- dovecot-acl
`-- dovecot-acl
There isn't a 'maildir' folder as such for the public folders (I created
the one shown above in desperation just to see if Dovecot would look
there). Here's the dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps
disable_plaintext_auth = no
log_timestamp = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {

auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {

That isn't working, so exactly where should the dovecot-acl file go for it
to work?
Thanks,
Keith
Re: [Dovecot] Public folders, individual SEEN flags
This file probably isn't in the right place. It needs to be in each maildir under the publicfolders/ directory (i.e. where the dovecot-uidlist files are also). Thanks Timo.

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and INBOX
I'm trying to implement a shared mailbox: in other words, we have a generic email address (security@) which we want a number of users to be able to monitor.

All the users in question have their own INBOX in their private namespace, so does this raise a conflict with monitoring another mailbox's INBOX?
