[Dovecot] userdb override?
Hi, I used to change the mailbox root for some users using a custom userdb file which contains lines like: doe::2:200::/u/doe::userdb_mail=mbox:/u/doe/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The logfiles shows the mail location stays default ( rc15 worked ): --- dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 250 doe system_user=doe uid=20324 gid=200 home=/u/doe dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: imap-login: Login: user=doe dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: IMAP(doe): Effective uid=2, gid=200, home=/u/doe dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: IMAP(doe): mbox: data=/u/doe/:INBOX=/var/mail/doe dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: IMAP(doe): mbox: root=/u/doe, index=/u/doe, inbox=/var/mail/doe --- Configuration: # 1.0.3: etc/dovecot.conf mail_location: mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/userdb_extra passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd args: /etc/userdb_extra userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/userdb_extra -- Leroy
Re: [Dovecot] userdb override? [SOLVED]
userdb: driver: passwd args: /etc/userdb_extra userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/userdb_extra Got it working again. The userdb driver: passwd shouldnt point to the userdb_extra file and the passwd-file should be configured first. The sequence does matter, after the first hit it doesnt look futher. -- Leroy

Re: [Dovecot] Subscriptions - delivering to different folders
May be wrong (am I?), but i think that perhaps you'are looking at the wrong hammer. If I had to do that i'd use the lda (e.g procmail, modifing .procmailrc in the backup user homedir) to achieve that. My half cent, Luis bichumo escribió: Hi,
[Dovecot] Exim-dovecot-Horde/imp-Mysql
Dear all, I'm running a linuxbox with ' Dovecot-Exim-horde/IMP- Mysql ', this is a very good combination and works excellent for the system users. Now I want to change the configuration and authenticate against the mysql database from horde. That way it is much easy for me to create (virtual) mail users. I also want to use the mail alias of the horde users for Exim and Dovecot. My questions are; is it possible to use the horde mysql database for this? And is it also possible for the mail alias of horde? If this is possible, is there a howto of this configuration? The packages i'm using are: Exim 4.67 Dovecot 1:1.0.3 Horde 3.1.4 Mysql 5.0.45 PHP 5.2.3 -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, André Eisvogel

I tried resyncing my IMAP but I didn't see the new folder. Does it matter that the UW-IMAP folders are in mbox-like format? It appears each folder is a single file, similar to mbox format. Yeah, it does matter. Dovecot doesn't allow you to mix-and-match different mail storage formats very easily. You may be able to set something like that up with the Namespaces support in Dovecot, but the easiest thing to do is to convert your mbox files into Maildir. ~Kyle Thanks Kyle, but how do I convert the mbox-like IMAP folders into something Dovecot can read with the new config?

I just set up an IMAP account that is having the issue and I didn't specify any folders. I just used the defaults. What's even more odd is that when I created a new folder within Outlook Express, I see it in /home/USERNAME/Maildir/subscriptions, but I don't see the folder anywhere...how does Dovecot see these IMAP folders? Is there some sort of tag that is contained within each Maildir email that tells what folder it goes in to? Patrick

Hi, i have just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot. im using it
with vpopmail, the pop service is working ok but the imap service for
imp webmail is not writing the quota information to the maildirsize
file, as recommended in the docs, i have this in dovecot.conf :
plugin {
# Quota plugin. Multiple backends are supported:
# dirsize: Find and sum all the files found from mail directory.
#Extremely SLOW with Maildir. It'll eat your CPU and
disk I/O. # dict: Keep quota stored in dictionary (eg. SQL)
# maildir: Maildir++ quota
# fs: Read-only support for filesystem quota
quota = maildir
}
This only happend with imp/imap, there is not problem using a pop
client Regards,
Have you added the quota plugin to the imap service?
As far as I've understood the docs it needs to be in every service.
However, I'm new to dovecot, too, so I may be wrong.

[Dovecot] maildir question
If I copy message files (from a command prompt) will dovecot get upset or confused? Do I need to delete index files or anything like that? I ask because I need to restore some messages from a backup, but not restore the entire maildir. I tried some the other day as a test, but the user is saying that they didn't appear.

That's good to know. I got word back that it showed in our webmail so it appears to be the client they are using (Outlook of course).
