Re: [Dovecot] Bug#564633: dovecot bug: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file

See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking or thunderbird. Yes, when both clients access the mailbox it usually locks up Outlook or alpine.. I suppose the maildir format may be the better option but alpine has issue with that format.? Alpine does not support local access to Maildir. If you prefer local access to the mailbox, switch to mutt, which supports Maildir. There is no locking problem with Maildir.

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes show up twice
Hi all,
I've been struggling a bit getting Hastymail webmail to work with my virtual
mailboxes. After a while, I discovered that my virtual mailboxes are listed
twice: Once with \NoSelect and once without. See the following (partial) LIST
reponse:
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "virtual"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/foo"
...
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/foo"
This makes somewhat sense, since my "virtual" namespace is a subdir of my
default namespace:
mail_location = Maildir:~/Mail:LAYOUT=fs
# Default namespace, uses mail_location above
namespace private {
prefix =
separator = /
inbox = yes
}
# Virtual mailboxes
namespace private {
prefix = virtual/
separator = /
# Store virtual mailbox in a "virtual" subdirectory. We use the fs layout,
# so nesting of mailboxes is done using normal filesystem nesting.
location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual:LAYOUT=fs
}
Now, should dovecot handle this configuration transparently by hiding the
virtual directory from the default namespace, or is this configuration just
not supported and should the virtual directory be outside of ~/Mail?
The current wiki documentation on the virtual plugin currently does suggest
this configuration, its examples point to ~/Maildir/virtual.

Or you can run any TB 3 version, just turn off CONDSTORE support in the config. Doing so won't hurt anything.

I'm using mbox format mailboxen and Postfix local delivery to /var/spool/mail/. IMAP folders are stored in /home/user_name/mail/.

[Dovecot] Plugin question
Hi All. I am developing plugin for Dovecot. And I needs for read some configuration file at startup and store configuration in application wide variable. As I see the plugin_init() method calls multiple times and allocates plugin's variables each time. Could you suggest better way to store variable in application context. Thank you Valery Gorbunov

No one was complaining about these problems before TB3 was released.. You could look at the IMAP traffic and see if Dovecot actually replies something wrong.

If you want to share state between multiple processes, you need to use files or something else.

[Dovecot] dovecot2 Beta2: different certs for imaps and pop3s
Hello,
is it possible to use differnent ssl certs for pop3 and imap ?
I like to have differnet dnsnames for pop3 an imap services configured at
customers clients.
I tried to configure ssl_key and ssl_cert inside a -login {} section
but this failed.
Of course I know sslcerts containing multiple dnsnames.
But this seemes not a real, clean solution to me.
Thanks,
Andreas
