[Dovecot] upgrade from version 1.0.3 to version 1.0.7
Im working on upgrading to dovecot-1.0.7 from version 1.0.3 which I installed using yum. I backed up my init.d stuff so everything still works. However, when I shutdown my old dovecot version and start the new, I get an empty mailbox when logging into mail. My current config for dovecot.conf on version 1.0.3 has this for my mailbox location:mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u I went from uw-imap to dovecot some months ago and necessary changes to the .mailboxlist to .subscriptions. Is there a different format for version 1.0.7? -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools rarely do people communicate, they just take turns talking

So I don't think the problem is with the version number change, but something else. Setting mail_debug=yes (and maybe auth_debug=yes) and looking at logs would show what Dovecot is really using as home directory and mail location. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I went from uw-imap to dovecot some months ago and necessary changes to the .mailboxlist to .subscriptions. Is there a different format for version 1.0.7? No. There should be no changes between 1.0.3 and 1.0.7 that could cause this. So I don't think the problem is with the version number change, but something else. Setting mail_debug=yes (and maybe auth_debug=yes) and looking at logs would show what Dovecot is really using as home directory and mail location. Have done. When initially logging in, Messages show (using horde/imp). After reading first message I get a no messages message. This is in my logfiles for each user: Nov 26 09:28:10 mail dovecot: IMAP(someuser): mbox: data=/home/someuser/:INBOX=/var/mail/someuser Nov 26 09:28:10 mail dovecot: IMAP(someuser): mbox: root=/home/someuser, index=/home/someuser, inbox=/var/mail/someuser Nov 26 09:28:10 mail dovecot: IMAP(someuser): open(/var/mail/.temp.mail.harrisonburg.k12.va.us.23157.22aab3df3f835fed) failed: Permission denied Nov 26 09:28:10 mail dovecot: IMAP(someuser): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/someuser: Permission denied. Now the only difference other than the version I can see is the new version built with ssl. Which I would like to use. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools rarely do people communicate, they just take turns talking

Typical workaround to this is to set mail_extra_groups = mail. Alternative is to change /var/mail directory to be world writable (and with sticky bit). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Typical workaround to this is to set mail_extra_groups = mail. Alternative is to change /var/mail directory to be world writable (and with sticky bit). That seems to have done it. I saw this in the wiki I think. Sorry to bother you with a problem that is already documented. Is there any other tweaks or settings that I should know about? ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools rarely do people communicate, they just take turns talking
