[Dovecot] Multiple Concurrent IMAP Connections For Same User
Hi I've been using courier for some time, but have just built a new box and am using dovecot (V1.2.9), Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I have a question regarding multiple concurrent imap connections and how to get dovecot to behave in the same way that courier does. I have searched the wiki, but find little relevant to my specific issue. Courier-Imap Behaviour If I have thunderbird pointed at the 'Inbox' folder via IMAP, then connect another IMAP client to the same mail account (in this case an iPhone), and then delete an email using the iphone, then after a couple of seconds, the inbox shown by Thunderbird updates, removing the now deleted email. It does this without my having to touch Thunderbird. Dovecot behaviour Performing the same test on a different mailbox, this time hosted via Dovecot, I again see the two views, one in Thunderbird and one on the iPhone, but when I delete the email on the iPhone, the change is not reflected in the view on Thunderbird. If I select the email on Thunderbird, then it has no content. If I restart thunderbird, the deleted email is still shown. I have to delete (the already deleted) the email also in thunderbird before it finally dissapears. How can I get the courier behaviour where the inbox in one email client automagically reflects the changes made to that inbox in another client? If I am better sticking to Courier to get this functionality, thats fine, but if I can configure the behaviour I desire and still retail the benefits of dovecot then thats even better! Kind Regards Nigel

I don't have an iPhone, but use the Android mail application. I can't replicate your problem. Either it's iPhone specific, or something to do with your dovecot configuration. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

One is the mailbox transport and another one is the virtual transport. # postconf|grep mailbox_delivery_lock mailbox_delivery_lock = fcntl, dotlock # postconf|grep virtual_mailbox_lock virtual_mailbox_lock = fcntl In the above case, if you used the mailbox transport, you'd have to change Dovecot's configuration to mbox_write_locks = fcntl dotlock or vice versa for Postfix. If you used the virtual transport, it doesn't really matter if the dotlock is missing, since the fcntl is common with Dovecot and Postfix. -- Best Regards, Giles Coochey NetSecSpec Ltd NL T-Systems Mobile: +31 681 265 086 NL Mobile: +31 626 508 131 GIB Mobile: +350 5401 6693 Email/MSN/Live Messenger: gi...@coochey.net Skype: gilescoochey smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

cant see this in your conf
there is no right or wrong, there are different types of

try using or simular
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = /
location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
inbox = yes

you might play around with prefix
first try comment out mail_location for 1.x
or use
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
cant remember all i am on 2.0x now

Are any written to the telnet session? mailbox_idle_check_interval is the only setting related to this, and since you have set it to 5 seconds it really should be sending changes. If no changes are sent, I guess it's a bug in v1.2.9.

We are now testing more ocfs2 clusters, becasue one of yours theorys is that iff all mail resides in only one ocfs2 cluster, it takes too long to find the file. ocfs2 i guess does not support index. using ocfs2 1.4 My last production environment using OCFS2 was with quite recent ocfs2/dovecot - linux 2.6.35 and dovecot 1.2.15 with dbox mail storage. We got a lot of problems - high IO, fragmentation and exponential grow of access time etc. We tested also with directory indexes but this hasn't helped a lot. Finaly we scrapped the ocfs2 setup and moved to less advanced setup: We created distinct volumes for every worker on the SAN, formated it with with XFS. The volumes got mounted on different mountpoints on workers. We setup a Pacemaker as cluster manager on the workers, so if worker dies its volume gets mounted on another worker and its service IP is brought up there. As a result we are using a fraction of the IO compared with OCFS, the wait time on the workers dropped significantly, the service got better. You have different options to distribute mailboxes through the workers. In owr setup the load is distributed by domain, because we are servicing hundreds of domains. So every domain MX/pop3/imap was changed to the service IP of the worker. If there are a lot of mailboxes in one domain you should put a balancer that knows on which server the mailbox is located and forward the requests there. So now, we are gettins smallers luns from your storages and mounting 3 ocfs2 clusters that way we think the DLM will work better. Sorry if i did not answer your question. Anyway, we had some tests with NFS and it wasn't good also. We prefere sticky with ocfs2. My test with NFS3/NFS4 were not good also, so it was not considered an option. We are balacing with IPVS, not using dovecot director. With IPVS you could not stick the same mailbox to the same server - this is important with ocfs setup because of filesystem caches and the locks. We were using nginx as proxy/balancer that could stick the same mailbox to the same backend - we did this before there was director service in dovecot but now you could use the director.

I posted about this quite awhile ago (more than a year), and STILL have not gotten around to implementing the feature idea I had: Allow ':' to separate the user name from a named module which will limit the folders shown to the client. eg by logging in as 'frank:subscribed' instead of 'frank', the IMAP client is never even informed of non-subscribed folders. The module names are arbitrary and 'subscribed' in my example is just that, an example. ':' is generally an illegal username character so using it as a separator should prove to not be a problem. Doing some kind of shared folder thing on the server would probably work as a hack today. Login as the alternate user, who has permissions on the subscribed folders of the real user, to see only those folders.
