[Dovecot] dovecot sendmail mysql no inbox error
hi guys, we are experiencing this particular problem with one of the webmail server we manage. the server is using dovecot as pop3 and imap server while sendmail is being used as mta. when this user tries to login via telnet, this is what i've got: $ telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. +OK dovecot ready. user user1 +OK pass password +OK Logged in. -ERR No INBOX for user. Connection closed by foreign host. when i looked at the maillog i saw this: Apr 25 20:52:32 samplemail pop3(samplemail): File isn't in mbox format: /var/mail/samplemail Apr 25 20:52:32 samplemail pop3(samplemail): File isn't in mbox format: /var/mail/samplemail Apr 25 20:52:32 samplemail pop3(samplemail): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-04-25 20:52:32] tried google but not much of help, they just suggested to update or replace dovecot. i already update dovecot and made some changes to default_mail_env parameter, still the same result. dovecot version is 0.99 on a fedora 4 box any idea?
Re: [Dovecot] Deferring, instead of rejecting, messages when at quota
Greetings - On 26 Apr 2007, at 10:36, Magnus Holmgren wrote: In Exim, you can set the temp_errors option of the transport. I don't know what code is returned in this case, but I have temp_errors = 73:75:77:78:89. If Exim takes care of all the hard errors (like nonexisting user...) you can almost set temp_errors = *. Hmmm... I'm continuing to peer at the source code of Dovecot's deliver and related libraries and have a feeling it's not going to be as straight forward as the above. It looks as though deliver calls routines in lib-storage to try and write out the message. If these detect a problem they flag the error, and the routine they use to do so indicates it is not a temporary one. Deliver sees the write failed and, seeing that temporary_error is FALSE itself generates and sends the error response. I'm currently trying to work out how this behaviour can be changed without affecting other things. For example it probably isn't safe to change the function used by the storage routines to flag that any and every error logged through it is a temporary_error: there may well be other places it gets called where the error is NOT temporary. Likewise I'm not sure if I can simply change the source of deliver to always return a temporary failure code because again there may be other problems that occur which should be permanently failed. I think I need help from Timo on this one, unless someone has already worked this one out previously?

[Dovecot] Hot to get rid of \DON\'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE\ messages?
I'm using Dovecot 1.0.0 (mbox) with Postfix 2.4 on my FreeBSD box, as a pop3-only server (imap is disabled). All account mailboxes are accessed using Outlook clients. I've noticed that, whenever I'm retrieving mail with pop3, a DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE is created in mbox. Although these messages are never sent to client MUAs, I found them very annoying. BTW I don't use (or used before) UW or Pine or any other c-client, therefore I assume it's a Dovecot issue. Previously I was using Cyrus and never had such a problem. Any idea how this can be fixed?

Re: [Dovecot] LSUB vs LIST (hacked Apple Mail problem)
Mulberry rocks! Best email client I know of. Reminds me of how good Eudora was when it first came out. eh, sorry, gnus (on emacs) is probably the best. but it's too difficult for most users. You're arguing with yourself? ;) I tried Mulberry after hearing about it here - and was very unimpressed. The interface was very clunky, and it just didn't click. Long live Thunderbird! ;) -- Best regards, Charles
[Dovecot] Troubleshooting - another suggestion...
Hi Timo, I'm the one who suggested the '-n' option to capture the actual config settings that the running dovecot process was using (ala postfix), and you implemented it very quickly - so thanks for that! Now, I'd like to suggest an enhancement... Many people still do not provide basic things like dovecot version, and there are secondary config files like dovecot-ldap, whose settings are not included in the dovecot -n output. How difficult would it be to add these to the output so that the output would include the running dovecot version, as well as any extra config settings from any other files that are loaded when dovecot starts? It would sure make it easier, both for us troubleshooting on our own, and when asking for help on the list. Many thanks, and terrific job on 1.0! Now all dovecot lacks is full support for IMAP ACLs/shared folders, and support for single-instance storage, and it will have no real competition... -- Best regards, Charles

Eyvind Bernhardsen I agree Apple's mail client is full of crazy bugs, but it has been working just fine for me since I upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.0. I've tried a variety of other IMAP clients on my mac from time to time, but I keep coming back to Apple mail. The second place is probably Opera's mail client, but I don't like the fact it won't use an IMAP trash folder, other than that, it is really quite good. -- Kenny Dail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There were some major config file changes, so it is not an update that you can perform blindly. i updated via yum update dovecot command, i think it is still version 0.99 .

I recommend seeing if you can find an RPM for 1.0.0 for Fedora4 (someone on this list can probably point you to one) or build one of your own (sorry, can't help you there)) but you'll also need to be aware of the changes, so be sure to read the upgrade instructions/release notes: http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot -- Best regards, Charles
Re: [Dovecot] LSUB vs LIST (hacked Apple Mail problem)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm using Apple Mail to Dovecot and have no real issues with IMAP to Dovecot. Certainly not as many as others. I'm also doing IMAP to Exchange and to Communigate Pro, and Exchange sucks royally, but Dovecot and CGP work fine. At work, we do IMAP proxying for crypto, and let me tell you we know lots about the idiocies in every client there is. Mail.app has had some major revisions in some of the point releases of 10.4, so what you thought six months ago isn't necessarily so now. Every IMAP client we know of (and we've seen them all) does crazy things. It's really an IMAP problem that there are several ways to do anything. Thunderbird has its own idiosyncrasies, as does Mulberry and anything else.

Re: [Dovecot] simple questions
Thank you for your help. I suspected that these question are really simple, but I did not know what expressions to search for. I don't use it, but look into: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-January/010968.html and look for Pine's rsh command. Also: http://wiki.dovecot.org/CommandLine I guess this works similarly for mutt, but what about thunderbird? Maybe, search for --exec-mail in the mailing list. It had been asked several times before. Thanks for the tip. It works like a charm. This is like Shared Folders, http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes Look for Read-only Maildirs I am coping with the details (namespaces, read only maildir visible for only one user and so on), but the wiki is very helpful. And I dont want to seem to be pushy, but what about the windows version? Is it absolutely of out question? Thanks Regards, A. Tudod már, hol nyaralsz?
