Very good point, will do.

Thanks.

This changed, because the previous behavior was unnecessarily accessing the disk all the time at each login. I wasn't really planning on adding the old behavior back anymore. Maybe you could create the folders when the user is created?

Re: How the does "new" autocreate method works?

Attila Nagy — 2013-05-23T12:06:05

Exactly what I see, but I thought this was an error. Could you please 
clarify this somewhere appropriate?
BTW, this is a problem for us, because we have a custom software 
accessing the maildir, which won't see these until created.
Would it be possible to set the laziness of this process and provide the 
possibility to create the folders on disk?

Thanks!

The new method is creating the folders lazily to disk. They will be visible in IMAP session, but they won't be actually created to disk until the folder is opened.

Your config looks correct to me.

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate from the deprecated autocreate plugin to the 
mailbox { auto }setting without success.
What do I forget, or misunderstand?

I deliver mails via LMTP and log in on IMAP, neither of them create the 
folders other than the inbox itself.

Hi all,

i could solve my problem.

the solution is to set the unneeded fields to "NULL" - it's described in 
WIKI, but i overlooked this important statement.

Sorry for my blindness

Mail.App is known to utilize many concurrent connections. Look again, most likely it maxes out the limit:

protocol imap {

Virtual Servers, or different authentication setups.

Joshua Gardner — 2013-05-23T00:30:32

I want to know if there is any virtual server functionality in Dovecot?

I would like to have two separate configurations, that access the same
email, running in the same Dovecot instance. They would bind different
ports and/or IPs, but have different authentication settings. In
particular, one would use a PLAIN password scheme, the other SSHA.

How would I go about setting up these virtual servers? Or, would I
have to run separate instances of Dovecot? If I do have to run
separate instances, how do I keep them from interfering with
eachother?

Re: auth with passwd file , doublepoint in paasword

Ben Morrow — 2013-05-22T23:47:19

I don't think it can be; that is, I don't think any of the fields can
contain a colon if you're using passwd-file.

Surely a password would usually be crypted, and so cannot contain a
colon?

Re: should dovecot store maildir files with CRLF or LF?

Christoph Anton Mitterer — 2013-05-22T20:22:06

I see... hmm that seems to be missing from the documentation?! Can it be
added? What values can it have?

What exactly happens there? Any LF or CRLF converted to the value set?
or does it also handle single CRs (and therefore also LFCRs)?


Are there other such options which control what of a mail / how they are
stored into maildirs? I mean regarding the content of the mails?
I'm aware of the one that controls how subfolders are made in maildirs
(LAYOUT=fs)... but anything else?


Perhaps you should add handling single CRs (to CRLF or LF depending on
mail_save_crlf) as well.


I'll try to debug that further.



Thx,
Chris.

Speed up mail retrieval by keyword

Manfred Usselmann — 2013-05-22T19:31:56


Hi, 

I' m using a roundcube plugin for adding attributes to mails, which are
stored as IMAP keywords (https://github.com/umount/message_label [1]). 

This plugin allows me to retrieve mails with a certain attribute across
all my mail folders. 

Selecting mails this way is very convenient, but also very slow,
probably because I've got a lot of mails and folders. 

Is there a way to speed this up somehow by changing any configuration
options? 

Versions in use are Roundcube 0.9.0 and Dovecot 2.1.10 (Maildir).

Thanks

Manfred

Hi Timo,
it looks like a problem with dsync migration in 2.1.16, with "that"
source server, a friend reported dsync migration form cyrus to sdbox had
worked fine with 2.1.15


i think i wont invest more time in this, dsync has/will much changed
code in 2.2.x , so i may retest again with 2.2.x sometime, meanwhile for
this case i might use imapsync, but thx for repeat anyway

however in case i would discover any more big news with dsnyc migration
2.1.16 , i will report

Thanks for this hint. It seems I should upgrade our server in near future.

Public namespaces do not have this problem. While I was looking for a 
solution for my problem, I also played with them instead of a shared 
namespace. With this config snippet:

namespace public {
    separator = /
    prefix = "Shared\ Folders/"
    location = 
maildir:/home/mail01/shared/Maildir:INDEX=/srv/dovecot/index/shared:CONTROL=/srv/dovecot/control/shared
    subscriptions = no
    list = children
}

This leads to this folder layout:

/home/mail01/shared/Maildir/.project1/cur
/home/mail01/shared/Maildir/.project1/new
/home/mail01/shared/Maildir/.project1/tmp
/home/mail01/shared/Maildir/.project1/dovecot-acl
