[Dovecot] [OT] dovecot appliance
Hello all. I am reading the mailinglist for a long time now, and there was a thread i believe called webgui or something. In this thread there was a company i believe german, that was working on a dovecot appliance with a web based gui to administrate a dovecot mail server. The problem is i did not save the URL of that company. Does anyone know which company make the appliance. Or does anyone knows a good webbased tool for dovecot. The reason is that in a windows environment, with only a few FreeBSD machine's , my collega's get frustrated if they can not use a mouse. They even want a mouse on there smartphone's :D I am doing the administration of the mail server, but when i am not there, it would be nice if they can do things them selves. thanks for your time. regards, Johan Hendriks
Re: [Dovecot] [OT] dovecot appliance
Hi, Or does anyone knows a good webbased tool for dovecot. Actually, you may use Dovecot with any existing courier-Mailserver-GUI. E.g., there is Postfixadmin: http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/ You only have to setup Dovecot to use the SQL-schemes defined by the GUI, which is actually not too hard. Anton

I think that is autotools related, but not sure.

All seems to work fine
But if I do (like the atrpms package spec):

I get the error:

Thans, I've seen so, but I have a question does not will be necessary to

[Dovecot] Can you POP a specific folder in Dovecot?
Hi all, I am in the middle of migrating from an old, Windows based mailserver, and have run into a small challenge I hope someone here can help me with. In my old setup, a user could have folders on the server, and by using his login with the mailbox appended, could pop a given folder specifically. For instance, logging in with u...@example.com would pop INBOX, and logging in with user-fol...@example.com would pop just that specific folder. Is it possible to do something like this in Dovecot, or is the only possible way of popping folders by using the virtual plugin?

Re: [Dovecot] problem with folder creation
Torsdag 28. oktober 2010 01.58.31 skrev John Watson :
I am running dovecot 1.2.12 on Free BSD 8.1. We also have postfix and a
version of squirrelmail for the UI. We are using MySql database to store
the email account info. I wrote a script to insert about 100K users into
mysql. Those accounts seem to work well and I'm able to see things like
'Drafts', 'Trash' and 'Sent'. Now I am working on code to create new
accounts - one at a time. The accounts get created and I can send and
receive email from them but when I go go Drafts, Sent or Trash I get an
error that says:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT INBOX.Drafts
Reason Given: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.Drafts
When I go out and look at the mailbox folders for these users I only see
cur, new, and tmp whereas on other accounts that work well I also
see things like INBOX.Drafts etc. I have examined the sql that is
inserting the accounts in bulk versus the one by one case and can not see
any differences (other than a new mailbox name/password etc). Everything
that I'm reading online indicates that Dovecot should just create these
extra folders on the server and there is really nothing for either an
admin or a user to do. Does anyone have any more information on this?
Thanks in Advance

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but the auto-create plugin
can create the folders for you upon login first time to the account.
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate
plugin {
autocreate = Trash
autocreate2 = Junk
autocreate3 = Sent
autocreate4 = Drafts

[Dovecot] Problem with quota and mdbox and quota warning
Hi again,
I just recognized that my dovecot forgets the quota for a mailbox.
This is what the maildirsize looks like:
1 read mail present, 1 new/unread mail

0 0
There are no errors logged.

Might be possible.. Assuming you're using Maildir? First you'll need to extract the folder from the username in passdb and change the username to u...@example.com. Put the folder into userdb_folder or something, so that you can access it in post-login script. The post-login script then would do something like: if [ $FOLDER != ]; then MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir/.$FOLDER fi Probably needs some more complexity, but basically I think that idea should work.

You should upgrade to v2.0.6 in any case. It'll also give you better error

The Debug: expunge is written by doveadm, because you gave it a -D parameter. It tells what messages it's about to expunge. The Info: expunge is written by mail_log plugin when anything gets expunged. 1.A. Would not it be faster not to enumerate for large mailboxes (30-40GB - Maildir)? Is it possible to add a switch, to select single user expunge behavior? ref: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg32322.html I don't understand. The default is to expunge only a single user. And why do you mention maildir if you're using mdbox? In any case the size of the mailbox is rather irrelevant. Number of messages is more relevant. 2. Also. expunge does not appear to remove empty mailboxes, is this a bug or intentional? If intentional, why? Any way to automated removal of empty mailboxes? Well, for your situation when removing mails from .EXPUNGED/ it makes sense, but for anything else it definitely shouldn't be automatically deleting any mailboxes. Maybe there could be an option to do this, although it's a bit problematic if doveadm expunge is being run at the same time as user is expunging more messages. It shouldn't delete mailbox if new messages just got added there. (And that probably isn't very easy to implement.)

See http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/054310.html It's possible that the same change to SUBSCRIPTIONS would fix it on 1.2? -Brad
Re: [Dovecot] Can you POP a specific folder in Dovecot?

If you want to access folders, then use IMAP. This might be, but I like to be able to access my mail via webmail during the day, and then pop it to my local computer when I get home. Even easier then. Just reconfigure your home computer for IMAP. Then the webmail and the home computer will both see the same folderised mail store. Being on a couple of medium to high traffic mailinglists, and you quickly loose overview when in the webmail, and thats when its nice to be able to file the mails into folders. OK. File it into folders on the IMAP. IMAP supports server-side filing --- the message does not have to be downloaded to the client and re-uploaded; the client just tells the IMAP server to re-file it. (Yes yes yes pedants, I know, IMAP doesn't support MOVE in the core, and by default it's copy-then-delete. The point is there is no download-upload cycle --- in any case under Dovecot, under Maildir, sdbox or mdbox, copies are all done by some form of reference-copying and therefore cheap.) While you're at it, you might as well set up rules on the server to file it for you. Then when you file stuff at home (or the server-side rules file it for you), it will all appear magically filed on the webmail. While you may not agree on the practice, it has worked pretty well for me the past many years, and i'd like to continue doing so, even on a new mailserver (and Dovecot has many nice features that my old one didn't) Weird because you seem to have a perfectly good folderised mail store on the server, then go and break the paradigm by moving everything down on to a single client machine.

[Dovecot] What causes the quota information to get updated?
Hello,
if new mails arrive, the quota information is updated and reported via
imap immediately. However, after deleting a message, nothing happens.
Even if I delete all messages and the mailbox e.g. was over quota, new
mails won´t be accepted because the mailbox is over quota.
Is this the way it should be or a misconfiguration?

Re: [Dovecot] problem with folder creation
OK I tried that and it still isn't working as expected. I added configuration
like this to dovecot.conf ( and restated dovecot):
plugin {
# Here you can give some extra environment variables to mail processes.
# This is mostly meant for passing parameters to plugins. %variable
# expansion is done for all values.
autocreate = INBOX.Trash
autocreate2 = INBOX.Drafts
autosubscribe = INBOX.Trash
autosubscribe2 = INBOX.Drafts
My new accounts are getting folders like this:
drwx-- 2 postfix postfix 512 Oct 28 10:33 cur
-rw--- 1 postfix postfix 17 Oct 28 10:33 dovecot-uidlist

drwx-- 2 postfix postfix 512 Oct 28 10:33 new
drwx-- 2 postfix postfix 512 Oct 28 10:33 tmp
what I would like to see is them getting folders like this:
drwx-- 5 postfix postfix 512 Oct 27 16:33 .INBOX.Drafts
drwx-- 5 postfix postfix 512 Oct 27 16:33 .INBOX.Sent

It seems to work with these 100K users that I created as part of a bulk create
operation against mysql. The new accounts that I create one at a time seem to
behave differently.
I can't see any difference in the database rows.
Another option that I am considering at this point is to create these folders
manually at the same time that I insert the account into mysql. Assuming I have
a good template and get
the folder permissions and ownership right is there a problem with that
approach?

I am running dovecot 1.2.12 on Free BSD 8.1. We also have postfix and a
version of squirrelmail for the UI. We are using MySql database to store
the email account info. I wrote a script to insert about 100K users into
mysql. Those accounts seem to work well and I'm able to see things like
'Drafts', 'Trash' and 'Sent'. Now I am working on code to create new
accounts - one at a time. The accounts get created and I can send and
receive email from them but when I go go Drafts, Sent or Trash I get an
error that says:
ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SELECT INBOX.Drafts
Reason Given: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.Drafts
When I go out and look at the mailbox folders for these users I only see
cur, new, and tmp whereas on other accounts that work well I also
see things like INBOX.Drafts etc. I have examined the sql that is
inserting the accounts in bulk versus the one by one case and can not see
any differences (other than a new mailbox name/password etc). Everything
that I'm reading online indicates that Dovecot should just create these
extra folders on the server and there is really nothing for either an
admin or a user to do. Does anyone have any more information on this?
Thanks in Advance

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but the auto-create plugin
can create the folders for you upon login first time to the account.
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Plugins/Autocreate
plugin {
autocreate = Trash
autocreate2 = Junk
autocreate3 = Sent
autocreate4 = Drafts
autosubscribe = Trash
autosubscribe2 = Junk
autosubscribe3 = Sent
autosubscribe4 = Drafts

Thans, I've seen so, but I have a question does not will be necessary to
do it?, the configure was generated by a version of autoconf newer than
the one in CentOS and dows not it may cause problems to use it as is.
It doesn't matter, autotools, the collection of autoconf, automake,
libtool and gettext are only needed when preparing the sources for
shipping, e.g. they are (normally) not needed for builds. Normally means
unless you change any configure.ac, Makefile.am, *.m4 files that these
tools need as an input for generating the build system files.
So you don't need to run autoreconf. But if you do need to run it (which
I also had to yesterday while chasing for a bug), you sometimes need to
nuke away some files, especially if your autotools are older that the
authors', so try
rm -f m4/lt* m4/libtool.m4 build-aux/ltmain.sh
autoreconf -fiv
./configure ...
And that should work on CentOS5. But as said, you don't need it. I added
the two lines above in the latest dovecot-pigeonhole rpm (commented) to
allow future users to easily enable rebuilding of the autotools bit.
Also note that there are fresh rpms for CentOS at ATrpms. :)

Re: [Dovecot] rpath in pigeonhole (was: dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.1 installation in wrong lib dir?)

But this is in another specfile altogether, which doesn't even use --disable-rpath. So the issue is somewhere else. I'll do some more testing and report back. Best regards to all people in Zeuthen that can still remember me. :) Hi Axel, sorry, erst lesen dann posten, meine Mail ist doch nicht verloren gegangen... Ich werde die Grüße ausrichten Viele Grüße aus Zeuthen thanks :) I found the bug, it is removing the *.la files from dovecot which messes up with dovecot-pigeonhole. There are now new rpms at ATrpms that don't remove the *.la files, so dovecot-pigeonhole's libtool knows where dovecto libs live and can intelligently apply proper -rpath arguments. If you ask why the libtool libs have been removed in the first place, then the short answer is conformity to upstream packaging. The long answer is that some ages ago there was heated discussion at Fedora about using or not *.la libs for library dependency or using pkgconfig, *-config files and the like. Unfortunately autotools took a blow and the package guidelines forbid the use of libtool libs. This was inherited by RHEL and package lint tools etc., so we all started to conform. E.g. in a Fedora/RHEL world one would probably start patching -rpath arguments into dovecot-config, which would be non-portable, thus a patch that cannot be applied upstream, and which has to be carried into the package. Anyway lifing the strict *.la removal is easier and technically the sane thing to do. (FWIW I've been a pro-libtool proponent) Anyway, please check out the latest packages, you can test the binaries directly (which would give me also a great feedback, not many people are using managesieve and thus there were no bug reports other than yours :), or you can review the source rpm and rpmbuild --rebuild them. -- http://thimm.gr/ - http://ATrpms.net/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The Debug: expunge is written by doveadm, because you gave it a -D parameter. It tells what messages it's about to expunge. The Info: expunge is written by mail_log plugin when anything gets expunged. Thanks for the info. So is info message showing the wrong mailbox or is it deleting from the wrong mailbox? I did specify mailbox .EXPUNGED/*. Is the syntax wrong? debug: box=.EXPUNGED/INBOX/mon info: box=INBOX/mon 1.A. Would not it be faster not to enumerate for large mailboxes (30-40GB - Maildir)? Is it possible to add a switch, to select single user expunge behavior? ref: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg32322.html I don't understand. The default is to expunge only a single user. And why do you mention maildir if you're using mdbox? In any case the size of the mailbox is rather irrelevant. Number of messages is more relevant. Let me rephrase that. Some users are using maildir. and more than one of such users with 30-40Gb of emails, approx 100-800k/message. approx 85899345 messages. 20-50 mailboxes under each user. And messages get deleted often. When expunging, lazy expunged, messages from such mailboxes, individually at separate time. Would not it be faster/safer reading from expire database compare to enumerate everything? I was hoping to setup a script to expunge, lazy expunged, messages from each user, at diff intervals, based predetermined rate of delete. 2. Also. expunge does not appear to remove empty mailboxes, is this a bug or intentional? If intentional, why? Any way to automated removal of empty mailboxes? Well, for your situation when removing mails from .EXPUNGED/ it makes sense, but for anything else it definitely shouldn't be automatically deleting any mailboxes. Maybe there could be an option to do this, although it's a bit problematic if doveadm expunge is being run at the same time as user is expunging more messages. It shouldn't delete mailbox if new messages just got added there. (And that probably isn't very easy to implement.) thanks you.
