POP3 UIDLs with virtual INBOX and migration from maildir->mdbox

Hi,

Considering the scenario, where you have some old account with a 
different POP3 UIDL format and you migrate them to dovecot.

So these old UIDLs would be saved to dovecot-uidlist.

At some later time you want to introduce a virtual POP3 INBOX like 
described on:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual

So you decide to make the new UIDL format "%f" - to make them unique 
across folders.

So far so good.

But then you decide to migrate to mdbox with all your old UIDLs.
The docs says that saving old UIDLs is only supported in Maildir and 
that %f is only supported in Maildir.

So is this at all possible?

Would pop3_uidl_format = %g solve this (except for the old legacy UIDL's) ?

Fedora 16 configuration

Hello,

I am trying to get dovecot to work on a fedora 16 install with sendmail.
I have been able to get it to work in the past with dovecot.conf but not
with the new conf.d directory and associated config files.
I keep seeing this in maillog:

Feb  7 14:28:59 sendmail dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth
attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x

And the mail client comes back with username or password invalid.
Is there instructions somewhere regarding fedora 16 installs?
I found this one and tried it to no avail:
http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_16&p=mail&f=2

Thanks in advance,

Cliff

Multiple userdb possible?

Hello,

I am running v2.0.13. In my dovecot.conf I have:

userdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-usrdb-ldap.conf
   driver = ldap
}

passdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-passdb-ldap.conf
   driver = ldap
}

Is it legitimate to include multiple ldap userdb's, like:

userdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-usrdb-ldap1.conf
   driver = ldap
}

passdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-passdb-ldap1.conf
   driver = ldap
}

userdb {
   args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-usrdb-ldap2.conf
   driver = ldap
}

Synchronization error in NFS


Hi there,

Not sure whether it's a bug or env setting issue.

I am running some concurrent testings under NFS.

The dovecot (version 2.0.13) are deployed in 2 servers (same setup), whose
maildir are on the file server via NFS.  Here are the output of dovecot -n:
[root <at> MyMachine src]$dovecot -n

Possible broken indexer(lucene/solr)?

Hello,

try to use the new 2.1rc and don't get any data in the searchindex.

Tried first lucene, and switched than back so solr.

If I do an search in an mailfolder, i get in the dovecot-log

 2012-02-06 22:17:11 | dovecot:                | 
indexer-worker(xxxxxx): Indexed 0 messages in INBOX/dovecot

Log from solr.
Feb 6, 2012 10:17:11 PM org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore execute
INFO: [] webapp=/solr path=/select
params={fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc&fq=%2Bbox:120ed10bbe9dcd4c8d2e0000f8146a47+%2Buser:"xxxxxxx"&q=body:"solr"&rows=9159}
hits=0 status=0 QTime=1

Maybe I miss something. Upgraded from 2.0.15 to 2.1(head from repository
yesterday)
With 2.0 i see, if i start an search, solr had to work on the mail, now
happens nothing.
Upgrade the schema.xml, delete the old index.

ENVELOPE mishandling of Subject lines with quote(s)?

Hi,

I am running dovecot version 1.2.9 on a Ubuntu 10.04 server.  To obtain 
the message's header info from this dovecot imap server, I run the 
following imap command on a client side's imap session:

. fetch 88:90 (envelope)

which returns (in this case)

-------------------------------------------------------------

* 88 FETCH (ENVELOPE ("Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:45:35 -0500" "Linear Actuators Bring Flexibility to Packaging"
(("Design World" NIL "subscription" "designworldonline.com")) (("Design World" NIL "subscription"

Multiple instances

v2.1 now saves the base_dir and instance_name to /var/lib/dovecot/instances when starting up. If you
have for example two instances with names "backend" and "proxy", you can then use:

doveadm -i proxy proxy list

instead of something like:

doveadm -c /etc/dovecot-proxy/dovecot.conf proxy list

The same -i parameter works for all dovecot programs. I also added a couple of new doveadm commands:

# doveadm instance list
path                            name  last used           running
/var/run/dovecot                proxy 2012-02-06 21:41:39 yes    

# doveadm instance remove proxy

It would be possible to add commands to start/shutdown some/all instances using doveadm, but is it all that
useful? I'd guess people would have their own init.d scripts anyway doing that.

Anything else that could be useful related to this?

doveadm purge on shared storage

We've finally (!) started to put some users on mdbox instead of maildir,
and now I'm wondering about the purge step. As we're running GPFS for the
mailboxes (and dovecot director in front of every dovecot service), is
it important to run the "doveadm purge -u $user" on the same host as 
$user is logged into to avoid index corruption ?

If so, will we need to run the "doveadm purge" trough the dovecot director as
well?
