[Dovecot] Mails don't get deleted after POP3

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is configured to remove the messages from the server - it was working already.) I guess that dovecot cannot write to some files / has problems with write permissions. But it doesn't tell me anything... Can you tell me, what configuration might be wrong or how can I enable more debugging to see what dovecot is doing after the mails got sent out via pop3? Here is the configuration: # dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-8-server x86_64 Ubuntu 11.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -----8<----- # dovecot -a # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-8-server x86_64 Ubuntu 11.04 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot log_path: info_log_path: log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: mail protocols: pop3 pop3s listen: * ssl_listen: ssl: yes ssl_ca_file: ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_key_password: ssl_parameters_regenerate: 168 ssl_cipher_list: ssl_cert_username_field: commonName ssl_verify_client_cert: no disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: no shutdown_clients: yes nfs_check: yes version_ignore: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_user: dovecot login_greeting: Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements: user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format: %$: %s login_process_per_connection: yes login_chroot: yes login_trusted_networks: login_process_size: 64 login_processes_count: 3 login_max_processes_count: 128 login_max_connections: 256 valid_chroot_dirs: mail_chroot: max_mail_processes: 512 mail_max_userip_connections: 10 verbose_proctitle: no first_valid_uid: 500 last_valid_uid: 0 first_valid_gid: 1 last_valid_gid: 0 mail_access_groups: mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: mail_gid: mail_location: mail_cache_fields: mail_never_cache_fields: imap.envelope mail_cache_min_mail_count: 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval: 30 mail_debug: no mail_full_filesystem_access: no mail_max_keyword_length: 50 mail_save_crlf: no mmap_disable: no dotlock_use_excl: yes fsync_disable: no mail_nfs_storage: no mail_nfs_index: no mailbox_list_index_disable: yes lock_method: fcntl maildir_stat_dirs: no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: no maildir_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_read_locks: fcntl mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mbox_lock_timeout: 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout: 120 mbox_min_index_size: 0 mbox_dirty_syncs: yes mbox_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: yes dbox_rotate_size: 2048 dbox_rotate_min_size: 16 dbox_rotate_days: 1 mail_drop_priv_before_exec: no mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_process_size: 256 mail_plugins: mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_log_prefix: %Us(%u): mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 10 imap_max_line_length: 65536 imap_capability: imap_client_workarounds: imap_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o imap_id_send: imap_id_log: imap_idle_notify_interval: 120 pop3_no_flag_updates: no pop3_enable_last: no pop3_reuse_xuidl: no pop3_save_uidl: no pop3_lock_session: no pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds: pop3_logout_format: top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s dict_db_config: dict_process_count: 1 managesieve_max_line_length: 65536 managesieve_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o managesieve_implementation_string: dovecot auth default: mechanisms: plain realms: default_realm: cache_size: 0 cache_ttl: 3600 cache_negative_ttl: 3600 executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth user: root chroot: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ username_translation: username_format: master_user_separator: anonymous_username: anonymous krb5_keytab: gssapi_hostname: winbind_helper_path: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth failure_delay: 2 verbose: no debug: no debug_passwords: no ssl_require_client_cert: no ssl_username_from_cert: no use_winbind: no count: 1 worker_max_count: 30 process_size: 256 passdb: driver: pam args: deny: no pass: no master: no userdb: driver: passwd args: -----8<----- Please let me know if you need more.

[Dovecot] Dovecot ok for port 110, but not for SSL (beginner asking)
by ycc_Swe 09 Nov '12

Hello, I just installed Dovecot. It works for plaintext autorization, port 110. It has connected with Telnet, Thunderbird and an on-line pop3 client. Telnet: +OK Dovecot ready. user nnnnn -ERR Unknown command. user nnnnn +OK pass xxxxxxxxxx +OK Logged in. stat +OK 1 1553 retr 1 +OK 1553 octets Return-path: <sssssss(a)hotmail.com> Envelope-to: nnnnnn(a)mydomain.com Delivery-date: Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:02:28 +0100 Received: from bay0-xcvxcv-xvxcv.bay333.hotmail.com ([123.123.123.123]) by deb7.pc with esmtp (Exim 4.80) But when I try ssl (port 995) with an on-line pop3 client, it will not work: /var/log/mail.log Nov 7 02:46:55 deb7 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=12.12.12.7, lip=123.123.123.123, TLS: Disconnected, session=<Iza75N3NlABBNykH> Nov 7 02:46:56 deb7 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=12.12.12.7, lip=123.123.123.123, TLS: Disconnected, session=<nWTF5N3NlQBBNykH> root@deb7:~# doveconf -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae i686 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_gid = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap pop3" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } I know very little about mail and ssl.

The following two files contain ssl keys: ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem I have tried changing the ssl parameter ("yes", "required") in 10-ssl.conf but with no change except that port 110 login becomes disabled. As you can see I am a beginner with Dovecot, I hope it is still OK to ask on this mailing list.

The current stable release is RHEL 6.3, released in June 2012. What is the valid reason preventing you from upgrading to the 6.x distribution? The packages in general in 6.x are 5 years newer than 5.x. And given the fact that RHEL runs miles behind the bleeding edge, you're way behind the curve even with a recent RHEL distribution. You can probably find a much newer version of Dovecot in an RPM somewhere, and Postfix for that matter. But it would be better for you if you simply upgraded to RHEL 6.3. -- Stan

[Dovecot] IP/SSL configuration

Is there a way I can have something like the following setup: 192.168.0.2 port 110/143, with no starttls/ssl 192.168.0.3 port 110,995/143,993 with starttls/ssl 192.168.0.4 port 110,995/143,993 with starttls/ssl I am looking to setup dovecot so that some IPs will run without any notion of SSL whereas other IPs will run with with ssl/starttls available, each with its own certs

[Dovecot] pop3 exim4 dovecot
by Patrick Shirkey 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, I have an exim4 and dovecot system. The system has multiple accounts. Exim4 is receiving emails in the /var/mail/user files and dovecot is configured to use /home/user/mail (mbox) folder. I have one account that dovecot is not processing replies/bounces/etc... The data is being written in the /var/mail/user file by exim4 but as far as dovecot is aware there is nothing in the pop3 inbox. Can anyone suggest how I can enable dovecot to know that the data is in the /var/mail/user file and deliver it to the pop3 inbox for this account? -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd

[Dovecot] v2.2.alpha1 released
by Timo Sirainen 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/alpha/dovecot-2.2.alpha1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/alpha/dovecot-2.2.alpha1.tar.gz.sig I wanted to start stabilizing v2.2 release some months ago already, but I somehow got stuck adding more and more features. Now it looks like all of the necessary API changes are done, so everything I'm planning on near future can still be added to v2.2 without major changes. The redesigned dsync hasn't had much testing yet, so avoid running it with important mails. Would be nice if people started testing and reporting any bugs. I was going to create some kind of a test suite for testing all the possible syncing combinations and also doing some random stress testing, but I haven't had time for that yet. The new dsync supports doing very fast syncs by saving the resulting state and giving it as command line parameter to the next sync. So for example doveadm sync -s "" > new-state saves the state and doveadm sync -s `cat new-state` continues from the saved state. The replicator code doesn't yet support this. * When creating home directories, the permissions are copied from the parent directory if it has setgid-bit set. For full details, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions * "doveadm auth" command was renamed to "doveadm auth test" * IMAP: ID command now advertises server name as Dovecot by default. It was already trivial to guess this from command replies. + Implemented IMAP MOVE and BINARY extensions + Implemented IMAP CATENATE, URLAUTH and URLAUTH=BINARY extensions (by Stephan Bosch). + Implemented IMAP NOTIFY extension. Requires mailbox_list_index=yes to be enabled. + Redesigned and rewritten dsync. The new design makes the syncing faster, more reliable and more featureful. The new dsync protocol isn't backwards compatible with old dsync versions (but is designed to be forwards compatible with future versions). + All mailbox formats now support per-user message flags for shared mailboxes by using a private index. It can be enabled by adding :INDEXPVT=<path> to mail location. This should be used instead of :INDEX also for Maildir/mbox to improve performance. + Improved mailbox list indexes. They should be usable now, although still disabled by default. + Added LAYOUT=index. The mailbox directories are created using their GUIDs in the filesystem, while the actual GUID <-> name mapping exists only in the index. + LMTP proxy: Implemented XCLIENT extension for passing remote IP address through proxy.

Re: [Dovecot] Android ICS stock client and IMAP Capability issue.
by Massimiliano Cianelli 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, Yes w/o prefix work as expected, try to add a prefix like courier does (eg. Inbox.) It will not work as expected. Due I'm upgrading an old installed server, I've to keep everything as much transparent I can... it includes IMAP folder and subscription. Looking at that I've encountered that issue, and analyzed for fix it (thank you open source), not everyone will want to use/use k9.. but you can be 100% sure the stock client is there. Due that Google act like BlackBerry, Microsoft,etc.. (hovewer they will not fix it soon, or really respect the rfc), it's much simple add Namespace on prelogin banner then wait or have to tell someone to install another client for that mailbox. I didn't know the history, but looking at change log seems that idle as been put back to prelogin client for some kind of compatibility with their service. Anyway, the most important reason that got me to subscribe the mailing list for write those emails, is share with the community that problem and provide a solution.. for someone in the future that have the same problem and will search on internet for a solution (like I've does.. before analyze it on my own). If the workaround will be added to the wiki or will be put in the source.. the important thing is that there is a solution simple and fast (two.. the source modify, and the configuration file) and someone can find it.. (Sarcastic) And if the mayans were right we can't wait for google to fix it :p Best Regards Sent from Galaxy Nexus Robert Schetterer <rs(a)sys4.de> ha scritto: >Am 07.11.2012 08:13, schrieb Massimiliano Cianelli: >> Hello, >> >> My phone: >> Android ics 4.1.2 on galaxy nexus. >> And yes, stock mean the default client that come with the os in IMAP mode. >> >> I already know about that configuration parameter, but it will display two time namespace in postlogin capabilities, and so I like much more to adjust the source code to fix the issue. >> >> Yes there is k9 but I didn't like it too much, I prefer the stock client and is much important to keep compatibility with stock client then user-installed client. >> >> About the issue on Google code, there is thr issue on google code... but Google is a lot slow in fixing those things. >> http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1811 >> >> In a few hour I'll update the issue noticing where is hidden the problem. >> >> Regards >> Sent from Galaxy Nexus > >Hi , i shortly tested this with android sdk jelly bean 4.1.1 and "my >setup" dovecot 2.1.10 with included orginal android mail app in imap mode, >,leaving IMAP prefix blank, everything works as expected, no double >shown inbox, namespace problems etc >so you might have to fit your namespace setup. >Also you might follow allready given advice from here. > >Anyway , i understand you using "stock client" >but you have to understand that the producers of mail clients >optimize their stuff fitting best in their own server structure >making money with it, therefor their motivation coding better imap code >is not very high, same case is for outlook and microsoft >however, i would say, fixing bugs is on the google site here, looks like >there is patch >at >http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1811 >and the issue seems long known > >i dont see any hard relation to dovecot in this case >meanwhile using k9mail seems the best way to workaround >there are lots of other bugs around android versions >over the years i dont expect google to fix them > > >> >> Robert Schetterer <rs(a)sys4.de> ha scritto: >> >>> Am 06.11.2012 07:08, schrieb Ben Morrow: >>>> At 6AM +0100 on 6/11/12 you (Massimiliano Cianelli) wrote: >>>>> Hi, >>>>> >>>>> My setup: >>>>> Dovecot 2 latest, installed to replace courrier IMAP, and off course >>>>> configured with the dot separator and all folder under INBOX.*. >>>>> >>>>> The problem: >>>>> My phone was driving me mad during the test, due that it will only >>>>> recognize Inbox. >>>>> >>>>> How found the solution: >>>>> I've started sniffing IMAP traffic on my server and ended up with one >>>>> difference: >>>>> On courier it ask for namespace, on dovecot it won't. >>>>> >>>>> I gives a better look, and noticed that courier show namespace >>>>> capability on prelogin banner, adding it too solved the problem. >>>>> >>>>> Reason: >>>>> Android ICS stock client seems do not honor the capability gived after >>>>> the login. >>>> >>>> See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0?highlight=%28capability%29 ; >>>> you need to set imap_capability and/or get your client fixed. >>>> >>>> Ben >>>> >>> >>> Hi, first ,what is the exact meaning of >>> >>> "Android ICS stock client" >>> >>> do you mean default included email client in standard android in imap >>> mode, when yes, which version of Android , i like to test my own >>> however is there changelog/code etc at google for this behave? >>> >>> conf example >>> >>> # Override the IMAP CAPABILITY response.
