Everything works, eventually. All mail will sooner or later get
delivered, using dovecot LDA from postfix, but these errors rampage the
log several times. I recently added managesieve, expires, and finished
the quota which I thought was achived by simply having quota_rule as a
result of mysql.

On another note, Thunderbird is starting to get on my nerves, sending
this message before I was finished.
Here is the relevant config:
dovecot-mysql query:
user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/',
mailboxes.username, '/') AS home, CONCAT('/home/mail/',
mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/',
mailboxes.username, '.sieve') as sieve, CONCAT('/home/mail/',
mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/') as sieve_dir,
CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username,
'/mail/') AS maildir, uid AS uid, gid AS gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=',
ROUND(mailboxes.quota/1200), 'M') AS quota_rule, 'Trash:ignore' AS
quota_rule2 FROM mail.mailboxes WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d'
AND active = '1'
dovecot.conf:
protocol managesieve {
listen = localhost:2001
managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot
managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o )
mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve
login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login
}
auth_debug = no
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb sql {

# scheme = cram-md5

userdb sql {

}
user = mail
socket listen {
client {

user = postfix
group = postfix

}
master {

}
}
}
dict {
# # NOTE: dict process currently runs as root, so this file will be
owned as root.
expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-expire.conf
quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-quota.conf
}
plugin {
quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict
expire = Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Spam 30
expire_dict = proxy::expire

}
As said, everything works, eventually, but mail delivery is delayed a
lot. With The dict {} and expire-related parts commented out,
operation has no errors or delays; performance is exceptional with
maildir, quota, sieve, and managesieve. I don't think managesieve would
patch any part of the dictionary code as it only has to do with another
service process, not a plugin; if the patching was to cause problems
with other services, for the service definition coding, the other
services would have a problem, correct?
The expires dictionary mysql table was being correctly used, with one
day of use, as there are 10000 records; I'm going to have to revise the
mysql indexes for performance in case I am able to fix the dictionary
problem. We like the 1.2.13 version of dovecot, as far as security, and
wonder how I can find a correct defintion scripting for the dict {},
from a previous version, and merge. We are use to windows compilations.
I am skeptical to go to dovecot 2.0 as our services are in production
and 2.0 is beta.
I have recompiled several times with fresh sources of dovecot 1.2.13,
managesieve 0.11.11 patchl, and sieve 1.0.17 as directed by the Dovecot
Wiki.
