Everything works, eventually. All mail will sooner or later get delivered, using dovecot LDA from postfix, but these errors rampage the log several times. I recently added managesieve, expires, and finished the quota which I thought was achived by simply having quota_rule as a result of mysql.

Aug 10 15:07:57 server1 dovecot: IMAP(some...@sheltoncomputers.com): read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Timeout after 30 seconds Aug 10 15:07:57 server1 dovecot: dict: Fatal: dict_driver_register(mysql): Already registered

On another note, Thunderbird is starting to get on my nerves, sending this message before I was finished.

Here is the relevant config:

dovecot-mysql query:

user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/') AS home, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/', mailboxes.username, '.sieve') as sieve, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/') as sieve_dir, CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/mail/') AS maildir, uid AS uid, gid AS gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', ROUND(mailboxes.quota/1200), 'M') AS quota_rule, 'Trash:ignore' AS quota_rule2 FROM mail.mailboxes WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND active = '1'

dovecot.conf:
protocol managesieve {
   listen = localhost:2001
   managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot
   managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o )
   mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve
   login_executable =  /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login
}

auth_debug = no
auth default {

mechanisms = plain login

  passdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
#   scheme = cram-md5
  }
  userdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
  }
  user = mail
  socket listen {
    client {
      path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      user = postfix
      group = postfix
      mode = 0660
    }
     master {
    path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
    mode = 0666
   }
  }
}
dict {
# # NOTE: dict process currently runs as root, so this file will be owned as root.
expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-expire.conf
quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-quota.conf
}

plugin {
quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict

expire = Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Spam 30
expire_dict = proxy::expire
expire_altmove = * 2555

sieve_global_path = /home/mail/sieve/global.sieve
sieve_global_dir = /home/mail/sieve
sieve_dir=/home/mail/%d/%n/sieve

}

As said, everything works, eventually, but mail delivery is delayed a lot.

Thanks,

Removing the expires plugin, due to removing its dict, causes everything to work normally. for some reason, dovecot 1.2.13 with managesieve 0.11.11 doesn't like using any dictionaries such as:

#dict {
# NOTE: dict process currently runs as root, so this file will be owned as root.
#expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-expire.conf
#quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-quota.conf
#}


Since I use maildir, I don't need a quota dict, which means I can just work around this problem. I don't HAVE to use expires as I have put a cronjob to go around the spam and trash boxes, deleting messages over 60 days old, for spam, and 15 days for trash.

Please, someone, explain why the dictionaries do not want to work. I used the sql config for both from the dovecot.org, those configs relating to dovecot 1.2. I thought there may be a workaround of not using the proxy::, as the mysql is on the same machine as dovecot and multiple connections would not be a problem.
