We recently encountered this with a new VOIP voicemail system. However,
using Thunderbird at least, the time the message file was written is used
(probably using "INTERNALDATE").
This might only apply if you're using Maildir'
Hello,
Occasionally, I get mail that's missing a Date header. The usual
suspects are iTunes weekly mailings and NYTimes email-to-a-friend
articles. I use qmail, which doesn't "fix" these malformed emails by
adding a Date header (like Sendmail does), so when they get to my
mailbox, they're jus

We found that on our server, *not* using imapproxy improved our
performance. We used to use imapproxy to great effect when we were
using BincIMAP, but Dovecot is so darn fast (and caches its own
authentication) that all imapproxy added was add

I'm switching from a pop3 only dovecot install to a pop3/imap install and
I'm wondering how many connections every 100 'normal' imap users might
have/keep open?
Mmmm, I usually estimate that most of the time users keep one
connection open. Oc

OS related tweaks, probably not. However you could utilize a imap
proxy such as up-imapproxy which if using FreeBSD is in ports.
Visit: http://www.imapproxy.org/ to learn more.
This should relieve the load on Dovecot.

Also, does someone know where I can find specification on what
characters are allowed for keywords? RFC 3501 is strangely quiet on
this, or I am blind.
Check out section 9, Formal Syntax. Specifically, "flag-keyword",
which is defined

What's even more odd is that when I created a new folder within
Outlook Express, I see it in /home/USERNAME/Maildir/subscriptions,
but I don't see the folder anywhere...how does Dovecot see these
IMAP folders? Is there s

Thanks Kyle, but how do I convert the mbox-like IMAP folders into
something Dovecot can read with the new config?
One way (the most straightforward) is to use any of the available
mbox-to-maildir converter scripts. Searc

I have, but it didn't do anything that I could tell.
I tried resyncing my IMAP but I didn't see the new folder.
Does it matter that the UW-IMAP folders are in mbox-like format?
It appears each "folder" is a single file,

Now that we're in the production environment, we've noticed that
every 20 minutes, Dovecot will stop running.
Meaning what? Is the dovecot process still alive? Is the service
unresponsive? Is it just not allowing logins?

This is exactly how I used to have it but then the need for

Well, the whole point of sieve, I believe, is to make it
something that an admin would want to let arbitrary users
modify on their own recognizance, and the ability to specify
arbitrary programs to run would be just *asking* to be hacked.

It also understands the 'seive' filter language (an alternative to
procmail).
I don't consider it an alternative to procmail because you cannot
pass mail to external programmes, like spamassassin or vacation.
Sure, sieve has its own vaca
