Re: Issue with one user only, exceeding connections

I think if IMAP IDLE is used you need one connection per folder. If I remember correctly at least either Thunderbird or K9 Mail (I'm using both too) use one connection per selected directory. Simply increasing the number of connections was the easiest solution as I only have very few users too.

Re: set up for Dovecot redundancy -- store on edge server only if link to backofc server is down, otherwise deliver to final dest?

Perhaps I misunderstood the constraints, but (for a low nunber od accounts) what would be wrong with simply fetching the mail on the local server from dovecot1 and delivering it to dovecot2 with IMAP idle to prevent delays? If the VPN link is down mail will stay on dovecot1. You could even

wrong Messages in virtual Folder

Hello, I created a virtual Folder that should contain all Mails from several different Folders and their subfolders. Recently I added a new folder to the dovecot-virtual file and then found that most Mails from this folder were missing. I always restartet dovecot (is this necessary?) after

Re: Fast searching from android device with Dovecot/Maildir

I dont't know the capabilities of gmail, but IMAP supports server side search which is quite fast if the Solr full text search plugin for dovecot is used (wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr). For debian "dovecot-solr" can be used. For Android K9-Mail does not really support server side search,

clients out of sync after restoring backup

Hi, due to a failing disk I had to restore everything from a backup including dovecot (2.2.22) and the Maildir containing the stored mails. A period of some days must later be restored manuall, but that is beyond scope for this question. Naturally this causes confusion for the clients as they

Re: is a self signed certificate always invalid the first time?

I can't see any security advantages of a self signed cert. If the keypair is generated locally (which it should) a certificate signed by an external CA can't be worse just by the additional signature of the external CA. Better security can only be gained if all users are urged to remove all

Re: Updated my Dovecot certificate for the first time

What would be the use of a self signed cert that is not automatically checked? If you see a warning how can you be sure that the cryptographic key used is correct? Just manually checking the common name displayed lowers the security to almost zero. A big additional disadvantage is that one gets

Re: Moving Maildir folders

How did you verify that dovecot doesn't show these folders? Couldn't this be a client problem? In Thunderbird e.g. it might be necessary to update the list of displayed folders. Am 16. Juli 2016 19:07:39 MESZ, schrieb Mark Foley : >On Sat, 16 Jul 2016 08:53:27 +0200 Luigi Rosa

Re: Dovecot frequently full-text reindexes the whole maildir

Hi, I'm not an expert, but am doing something similar (moving messages and training the spam filter). To detect the existence of new messages looking directly at the maildir can be a quick and dirty solution to get a trigger event. But to move or delete I think you should use 'doveadm' to

doveadm-search-query pattern format

Hello, the doveadm-search-query documentation specifies a 'pattern' for many search keys. Unfortunately it does not mention the format specification of this pattern (special characters, wildcards, ...). I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 but also searched the current documention on dovecot.org. Where

modify message with doveadm?

Hello, I'm using dovecot with getmail and spamassassin. To re-learn false detected mails I created two folders and use an external script that checks the corresponding maildir directories for changes (with inotifywait). The mails found in these directories are passed to sa-learn (to re-learn
