Hello,
With the same basic configs as in my previous messages, I tried with the
maildir format instead of the mbox format.
That is, in both cases ("virtual" uids/gids vs a single "real" uid/gid),
doveconf -n shows:
mail_location = maildir:~/maildir
instead of:
mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox
Here too, with "virtual" uids/gids, connections thru pop hang forever, while
imap connections behave flawlessly.
And with a single "real" uid/gid, connections thru both pop and imap behave as
expected.
As a result, it could be inferred that the problems I am encountering with pop
connections do not depend on the mailbox format in use, and that they are
entirely related to "virtual" uids/gids.
To recap: with this very basic config
# 2.1.14: /_ETC/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Darwin 12.2.1 x86_64
auth_verbose = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox
passdb {
args = /_ETC/dovecot/db.conf
driver = sql
}
ssl = no
userdb {
driver = prefetch
}
a pop connection hangs forever after the pass command
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user user2
+OK
pass pass2
and the log shows (here, when the user connects for the first time)

With exactly the same config, imap connections are fully functional.
Does someone have an explanation?
TIA,
Axel
