Re: dovecot Apple Mail maildir lots of Mail

I finally found out what the problem was. My mail is in the folder $HOME/Mail. For that reason, dovecot assumed I must be using mboxes (even though it only contains maildirs), and handled each mail = maildir file as a separate mbox. I've renamed $HOME/Mail to $HOME/Maildir and configured procmail and mutt to look there, and now it works fine even with Apple Mail. Thomas
Re: dovecot.index.log files: what are they?

This was a by-product of dovecot thinking that I had mbox mailboxes, while they were maildir mailboxes. So dovecot created one of these _for every single mail_, which is why I had so many of them.

I still don't know what they are good for, why they stay there for days and if I can remove them. After all, they are not the caches, but some transaction logs (I don't know what this is). Thomas

Re: fixes for quota support on NetBSD
This patch still applies cleanly against 2.2.14, and is still needed.

Hi!
dovecot-2.2.13 already has quota support for NetBSD, but it's buggy.
The attached patches by Manuel Bouyer bou...@netbsd.org fix the
issues.
There is one thing that's not nice in them: one include is now for
/usr/include/quota.h since dovecot comes with its own file quota.h
which is earlier in the search path. Perhaps dovecot's copy can be
renamed to dovecot-quota.h or to some other non-conflicting name?
