mbsync updating new emails but dovecot not reading them ? [2.3.3]
Hi,
Once again sincere apologies for emailing here.
My dovecot isn't reading the newly updated e-mails from the mbsync.
I have tried running doveadm -D -v force-resync -u ema...@example.com
"Inbox/Public/Other Users/us...@example.com"
Plese help if possible. Highly appreciate if someone could help here...

ACL Folders are open but not being displayed ? [2.3.3]
Hey, Could someone help figure out whats wrong with my config based on the debug below? What I am trying to achieve is to get ema...@example.com to read emails in the Public directory that is stored on /run/media/computer/Storage/Email/fastmail/Archive with the preface Public/Archive . The ACL has been set for anyone with permissions to lookup,read,write as shown below:- doveadm acl get -u ema...@example.com Public/Archive ID Global Rights anyonelookup read write But when I try to access the emails for ema...@example.com , there are no folders. Could someone here help review my debug log and advise what could be causing this (dovecot -n output is provided below the debug message) Many thanks for assistance.

Dear Martin,
Many thanks for the advise and yes I agree I should set debug mode to on

Dovecot 2.3.3 Mailbox does not exist
HI,
I would deeply aprechiate if someone here could help me address a problem
with ACL. I would personally refrain from e-mailing ever so often as I
understand other users have more important issues to discuss about. Anyways
I hope someone here could help.
When I run ;-
doveadm acl get -A Public/Archive
I keep getting an error that says Mailbox does not exist . See erorr
message below : -
Error: Can't open mailbox Public/Archive: Mailbox doesn't exist:
Public/Archive
In the fastmail folder there is a folder called Archive, why isn't it being
read? The folder is drwxr-xr-x. with vmail as owner.
Deeply appreciate if someone could help with this.
Many thanks

Re: Linking mailboxes
Hey Aki, Sorry for the trouble but I am still unable to get it working. The file permissions for upper files are now drwxr-xr-x. but I think they need to be drwxr-x--x+ ? Any idea how to change it to that? Error log is below:- doveadm(lightdm): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=976(lightdm) egid=976(lightdm) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(setroubleshoot): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=975(setroubleshoot) egid=975(setroubleshoot) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) doveadm(dovenull): Error: stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=974(dovenull) egid=973(dovenull) missing +x perm: /run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700) ~ On Mon, Feb 25, 2019 at 11:58 AM Kunal A. wrote: > Dear Aki, > Many thanks again.

Re: Linking mailboxes
Dear Aki, I have given permission to the folders Storage/Email to vmail. But the upper hierarchy is not under vmail . Full directory = /run/media/computer/Storage/Email /run/media/computer = not vmail Storage/Email = vmail How do I get this corrected ? It seems like vmail needs access through all through run/media/computer . Please excuse my ignorance as I am not very familiar with filesystem permissions. :-/ Sincere apologies for the trouble.

Re: Linking mailboxes
Dear Aki, Many thanks for your feedback. Its what I figured I should do but I was not sure how safe it was. Would it make sense to execute the following to /run/media/computer so that the user/group is vmail? sudo chown -R vmail:vmail to the /run folder ? Also if this practice is safe to perform?

Hey Guys!
Many thanks for your feedback. I have kind of gotten it to work but I just
struggling to get the permissions of the folder correct. Highly appreciate
if someone could help me set the correct permission settings for it .
Terribly sorry for my ignorance.

Linking mailboxes
Hi,
I am new to Dovecot and I am trying to link an email account folder to
another Maildir(its a backup of the older email). I want the email account
to be able to access the older emails.
I am assuming this is done by creating a symlink?
Currently reading instructions on this page:-
https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks
At the moment I have the folder:-
/var/mail/vhosts/example.com/email1/Maildir/.INBOX.newfolder
Inside the folder:-
drwx--. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 cur
-rw---. 1 vmail vmail 232 Feb 23 13:43 dovecot.index.log
-rw---. 1 vmail vmail 51 Feb 23 13:43 dovecot-uidlist
-rw---. 1 vmail vmail0 Feb 23 13:39 maildirfolder
drwx--. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 new
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root45 Feb 23 13:46 Other ->
/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/mail/Other
drwx--. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 tmp
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 Feb 23 13:46 Users -> Users
I am not able to access the folders in the Other folder structure(inside
other there are other email inboxes
ie(ema...@example.com,ema...@example.com,etc.).
I want to get access to all the email subfolders. Could someone here advise
how to do this or point me to some tutorials for this. Sincere apologies
for this and many thanks in advance for helping...

Re: Troubles with Dovecot 2.3.3 - mkdir permission denied due to +w perm: /var, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755)
Dear Ralph, Ah! You are right. My eyes are not working correctly. I kept thinking I was reading /va/mail/vmail etc. Sorry for this and thank you very much for catching it!

Troubles with Dovecot 2.3.3 - mkdir permission denied due to +w perm: /var, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755)
Hi,
I am quite new to Dovecot and I followed a tutorial on Linode to set up
Dovecot, Postfix and MySql on the following site:-
https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-mysql/
Everything seems to work fine(telnet etc) except dovecot does not create
mailboxes.
Highly appreciate if someone could check the error messages and the dovecot
-n on the bottom and provide some advise. I was unable to get the SQL
config but I don't think its related to SQL but more of permission related.
Please help
Thanks
Kevin
