"oldmails" is the namespace prefix. You can't subscribe to it because
it's not a mailbox. Why would it even be needed? You should be able to
subscribe to mailboxes under it.

Re: [Dovecot] read only bug?
Hello, The boss is back: 10 replies in an hour :-))) Thanks for your reply. I split my mailboxes with mb2md which was a very bad decision: not every mailbox started with the INTERNAL FOLDER DATA email and it lost them. It seems to have mixed up the filesnames too, because ls 1154939281.5.pc1\,* | wc -l says 10 and they are different emails! Is there any way to make dovecot to not correct these? Or it is a very important that maildir files should have different basenames?

Re: [Dovecot] read only bug?
Hello, Thanks for your reply. I have some read only maildirs outside my home. Actually those files and directories does not belong to me, I am only a member of the group which can read those files and change to those directories. This is a bit overworried security: not to loose any data by accident deletion. I was happy to be able to use those read-only maildirs in mutt, therefore I tried to make it work under dovecot. I did not want all my emails in one folder, it would be too big, that is why I sorted them into very-old folder and not-so-old-and-recent folder. Hence the very-old folder does not change (except once a year or so). And I was happy when I saw that dovecot supports read-only maildirs. (And for some reasons, dovecot wants to rename the mail from cur to new!) So my questions is: Can I disable this renaming feature somehow? ACLs are great, but this option would be only the next, if this filesystem-permission approach fails to work. Regards, A. __ 2600 állásból Te is találsz megfelelőt!

[Dovecot] read only bug?
Hello All, I have been still struggling with the read only maildir and I think I found something: dovecot wants to rename a file but I/it have/has no rights to do that: dovecot: 2007-05-04 21:30:14 Error: IMAP(bela): rename(/home/store/oldmails/.personal/cur/1154939281.5.pc1.S=1879:2,S, /home/store/oldmails/.personal/new/1178307014.P8610Q0M347618.pc1) failed: Permission denied Why dovecot wants to rename it? It is really a read only directory. Regards, A. __ 2600 állásból Te is találsz megfelelőt! Mérnöki, értékesítői, asszisztensi, pénzügyi és IT állások a Jobline.hu-n! http://www.jobline.hu
Re: [Dovecot] read only maildir

The situation is getting better: mutt does not see the read-only maildir, even if I have two subscriptions file in Maildir/ and in CONTROL directory (empty directory). thunderbird now sees the folders in the read-only Maildir/ no matter what was specified in the subscriptions files (again, I have them under both Maildir/ and CONTROL). And I can subscribe/unsubscribe to them. But if I click on the name of the folder, thunderbird says: Mailbox does not exist. And there is absolutely nothing in dovecot's log. If it matters, I use Edgy, hence dovecot 1.0rc2, mutt 1.5.13 and thunderbird 1.5.0.10. Again, thank you for your help. By the way, do you have working read-only folders? If yes, would you please send me the details? Best regards, A. _ "Egy anya oda se bagózik a megjelenésedre. Szerinte gyönyörű vagy és punktum."

Re: [Dovecot] read only maildir
>If it's read-only, then your user can't write the 'subscriptions' file; >as root, edit that file and manually insert the subscription, then your >clients should pick it up. Thanks for the quick reply. Is it subscriptions or .subscriptions or in the singular (without the ending s)? Where should it be exactly? In the directory specified by the location option or by the CONTROL suboption? And what should it contain? Sorry to ask too much, but I am (very) new to dovecot.

[Dovecot] read only maildir
Hello All, I try to set up a read only maildir just as in the wiki, to no avail. The extra (public) namespace shows up but I can not susbscribe to it (in thunderbird) or if I change to that "directory" (in mutt), it is empty. Is it the problem mentioned in the wiki (SharedMailboxes#Subscriptions)? If yes, how can I see/use a folder which is not subscribeable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] read only maildir subscriptions
Hello,
I have some (possibly very simple) questions about
subscriptions:
I store my old mails in /home/oldmails/ in one Maildir
where I have only read-only permissions (I cannot delete, create or modify
any files).
Under thunderbird, I can successfully log in and read my new mails,
but I cannot subscribe (?) within thunderbird to oldmails
(it is grey not black as other folders).
What did I do wrong? What other permissions does dovecot need?
Here's the relevant part of dovecot.conf:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = oldmails/
location =
maildir:/home/oldmails/:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control-oldmails:INDEX=~/Maildir/index-oldmails
}
and when I try to subscribe to it, dovecot says:
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): Effective uid=7001, gid=1000
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): Namespace: type=private,
prefix=regi/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, subscriptions=no
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): maildir:
data=/home/oldmails/:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control-oldmails:INDEX=~/Maildir/index-oldmails
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): maildir: root=/home/oldmails,
index=~/Maildir/index-oldmails, control=~/Maildir/control-oldmails, inbox=
Thanks for any help in advance.
Regards,
A.

[Dovecot] simple questions
Hello Everybody, I would like to use Dovecot on my desktop with imap but before doing the real migration I have some (very simple) questions: - Is there any way to log in with imap automatically ? That is, from localhost without any passwords. - Can Dovecot work with only readable maildirs? I want to avoid accidental e-mail loss, therefore on some maildir folder I have only read permissions. Or shall I use ACLs only? - Is there or Will there be a windows version? (In case I had to use windows.) Thanks for any help. Regards, A.
