[Dovecot] ssl_ca_file
by Jacob Elder 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I am very fond of Dovecot, but it would be nice to have a more useful SSL implementation. When do you think we'll see a non-beta version that supports ssl_ca_file? I am running 0.99.11-3 from Debian testing. -- Jacob Elder

[Dovecot] Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command..
by Ingo Lantschner (Lists) 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi all, I have just installed dovecot on my Fedora Core 2 box. I would like to use it only for reading archived email from within my Mozilla 1.7.3. I syminked my old opera-files (*.mbs whoch seems to be same as mbox) into ~/mail. Seems to work fine, mostly I can open the mailfiles - sometimes it hangs with the following error: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command.. And then: The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Error in IMAP command MYRIGHTS: Unknown command.. ALthough I searched in Google and in the Wiki on dovecot, I did not find any hint - am I the first with this problem? TIA Ingo. -- Ingo Lantschner T (+43-1) 59 55 766 M (+43-664) 143 84 18 -- Ingo Lantschner T (+43-1) 59 55 766 M (+43-664) 143 84 18

Re: [Dovecot] [OT] Apple Mail.app access to localhost imap when no network

"localhost" does resolve (I tried to ping it, and it worked), and 127.0.0.1 does not change anything. So I guess my initial guess was wrong, and Mail must be trying to see if the network is up before even trying to log in. Alan Schmitt

[Dovecot] .INBOX required?
by Todd Slater 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi, Newbie to Dovecot and IMAP in general. The system in question is RH 9, Dovecot 0.99.11, Maildir, accessing mail with SquirrelMail, Thunderbird, Kmail, Mutt, Entourage and Mail.app. I've set up the maildir for users in ~/Maildir. Inside that I have other folders, .Sent, .Drafts, .Trash, .Junk, .MakeJunk, .MakeGood. ~/Maildir itself has the cur, new, and tmp folders, but I note that there is also an .INBOX folder. Mail to the account does end up in ~/Maildir/new and it's readable in the various MUA's (as Inbox). I'm just not certain why the .INBOX is there, and if I'm supposed to be creating the other folders as .INBOX.otherfolder. Thanks, Todd

[Dovecot] [PATCH] add initial response support for NTLM and RPA
by Andrey Panin 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hello, this patch adds initial response support for NTLM and RPA authentication mechanism. It can be useful if dovecot acts as authentication backend for SMTP server. RFC2554 permits initial response in AUTH command, so it's legal to send NTLM type 1 message or RPA token 1 in it. Please consider applying. Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke(a)donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net

[Dovecot] [Fwd: Re: [Evolution] evo confused when searching message bodies on large folders?]
by Dan Stromberg 19 Nov '04

Is this possibly a problem with dovecot 0.99.10.9? Maybe it's been fixed in a later release? Might it be a security issue? Thanks!

[Dovecot] (mail_index_expunge): assertion failed: (!t->view->external)
by Mark Lidstone 18 Nov '04

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone's seen anything like this? Nov 15 14:16:13 olympic dovecot: imap-login: Login: postmaster [192.168.0.32] Nov 15 14:17:05 olympic dovecot: IMAP(postmaster): file mail-index-transaction.c: line 247 (mail_index_expunge): assertion failed: (!t->view->external) Nov 15 14:17:05 olympic dovecot: child 20184 (imap) killed with signal 6 Nov 15 14:17:19 olympic dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Nov 15 14:17:19 olympic dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test52 starting up I'm running (as you might have guessed) test52 on Linux (i386) using maildirs. The client is Thunderbird. This only appears to be happening when viewing certain mail folders in the IMAP account. As a temporary fix, it seems to stop happening when I delete the ".imap*" files in the affected folder, but this is hardly an ideal solution. If you want any debug-type information please send me "idiots guide" type instructions as to how to do it - I'm not a software engineer :?
