Hi Kirt, Easy! Either connect to imap.tib.com instead of mail.tib.com, or create and install a new security certificate on the server which is for mail.tib.com instead. It's as simple as the message says - you've said your mail server is called "mail.tib.com" but your installed security certi

Is the certificate automatically created, from information in /etc/postfix/main.cf, when Dovecot is setup? If that is the case, I can uninstall Dovecot & re-install it unless there is an easy way. Did I mention that I am pretty new to Postfix & Dovecot (and LINUX in general). Thank

Hi Kirt, Right in that case, the installation of Dovecot has somewhere created a certificate with "imap.example.com" as the common name (CN.) I'm afraid I cannot help further as I don't use SSL in Dovecot, however what I'll say is lookup how to create a certificate in OpenSSL. Perhaps someo

Hi Nicola, I'm guessing Dovecot is failing at your % character in "like 'var/pop3/%' THEN." - notice in the log, it's missing the final apostrophe from that string ("like '/var/pop3/ THEN.".) Dovecot is trying to take %' as a substitution character (like %u) and converting it

[Dovecot] File Changes and IDLE

Hi Timo and all, I used to use Dovecot back in the 0.99 days a couple of years ago, had since moved to Courier IMAP, but with the release of Dovecot 1.0.0, I'm looking at moving back! One thing I currently have set up and working with Courier is the use of the enhanced IDLE mode, whereby Cou

Hi Adrian, I'm thinking this is more of an issue with your MTA, as usually that's responsible for delivering into the mailbox's Inbox. You might want to look at Dovecot's LDA, "deliver" (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA). Deliver takes an e-mail piped from your MTA, with appropriate options on th

Re: [Dovecot] read only bug?

2007-05-04 Thread Andy Shellam
I think the main question is, why do you have/want a read-only maildir? By definition a maildir is constantly changing. In your case, dovecot was trying to class a new e-mail as "read", hence the move from "new" to "cur." Other ways in which a maildir changes, is the changing of the message

[Dovecot] Converting Courier mailboxes to Dovecot

Hi, I have around 100 mailboxes (maildirs) to convert from Courier IMAP (4.1.3) to Dovecot. (From a recent backup) I've tested a few mailboxes on Dovecot 1.0.0, and while the client doesn't notice any difference (at least in Thunderbird) I'm hoping to get rid of the old Courier folders and c

Would it be better to have a shared mailbox called "office" with each user having their own login, and, where appropriate, with ACLs so only the relevant people can access it. I'm not sure completely how to do this as I'm in the process of learning 1.0 after a 2 year break from Dovecot, but I'

I love this idea! I know it wouldn't be part of the standard IMAP specification, and you'd probably have to have an extra capability such as CUSTOMEXECUTE or something in the IMAP capabilities, which Thunderbird would have to look for before it allows the use of the plugins. As you suggested,

Hi Wouter, We do this already, whereby mail is stored like, for [EMAIL PROTECTED], in /some/path/domain.com/user. The paths are stored in a virtual user database in PostgreSQL which Dovecot authenticates against. And yes, /Maildir is redundant, unless you plan on storing any non-mail stuff i

Hi Eric, SSH tunnelling requires an SSH login though, right? Even if that's via PAM or other authentication method, it's another set of authentication to set up, why not keep it all in the same system (i.e. Dovecot?) I wouldn't allow SSH access connections to a public-facing server, mainly

I disagree about SSH. Firstly, how do virtual users fit into your proposed setup? Secondly, as a service provider to the general public, the absolute LAST thing I want to be doing is opening up SSH access to my servers. Mark has a valid point in that you have to connect to the server via IMAP to
