General :: Using Dovecot IMAP To Access User Mail?
May 24, 2010
I am having some trouble finding the information i need, here is what i am trying to accomplish.
1. Download POP email messages from cody@clearsky.net.au using fetchmail and assigning them to account "cody"
2. Connect and view the emails via IMAP using dovecot server logging in using "cody"
So far i have the fetchmail part working fine, but i cannot see any emails in the inbox. The messages are going thru however as they are visable in MUTT. i have edited my /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to change the mail directories, but no luck

I'm somewhat familiar with Linux and became pretty decent at installing and configuring packages in Ubuntu. One of the things I was able to do with my tinkering was set up a functioning imap and pop3 mail server using dovecot-postfix. Now I'm experimenting with Slackware to get the feel of another distro, and I noticed that the mail server packages were already installed. On my client computer they can pick up that I have users configured and my mx record is working.
However it is failing to send mail saying that it is failing to relay the e-mail message and that the server responded 5.7.1 which was a problem that I was having in Ubuntu when first configuring the mail server. The fix was to edit the postfix.conf file and adding the localhost name of my server. Does anybody know of the file that I need to edit to make it possible to relay my messages with both pop3 and imap.

I'm running Dovecot version dovecot-1.0.7 on CentOS 5.4. I'm trying to create subfolders and I can't. I've tried Mac's mail application and Thunderbird; they both come up with an error, basically saying that the server doesn't support level one folders(subfolders). Squirrelmail can't create subfolders neither. I did some reading and thought that perhaps the problem lies in the /etc/dovecot.conf file; specifically with the "mail_location" directive. I currently don't have that directive active which means Dovecot uses defaults settings: saving users' mail in the %u/mail folder. Is there any way to configure Dovecot to use subfolders?

I'm trying to configure dovecot in RHEL6, but seems system won't accept local user login. I've already disabled pam. I've tried mutt -f imap://xxxx, and Thunderbird to connect as imap and pop3, but both failed, seems dovecot won't accept the password of the login user.the dovecot info log as, Jul 03 20:48:42 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.1.3, lip=192.168.1.3, mpid=0, secured

I just setup dovecot to use imap. I'm using the same cert and key that I'm using on Postfix smtp over ssl. It's a self signed cert. After running this
Code:
openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect localhost:993
I get this
Code:
CONNECTED(00000003)

i have some problems to start my dovecot server. I tried to install it from webmin using "un-used modules" but it was allways the same error: "E: Unable to locate package dovecot-pop3d".When I tried to install it from console using the commands: apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common - and there are no problems with dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common, but still the same error with dovecot-pop3d. After command: service dovecot status: could not access PID file for dovecot ... failed!
After try to start dovecot with comand "dovecot": Error: mail_executable: Can't use /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3: No such file or directoryFatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.confI've read a few similar threads in this forum about dovecot errors but still can't to fix it.

Does anyone know if there are only personal preferences between the two IMAP servers or does one of a slight advantage over the other? I've used Dovecot only in the past but my package manager loads tons of MySQL libraries with Dovecot which is a problem since that's not authorized on my server right now. I can either install it from source or try another application like Courier.

I have a problem connecting my roundcube to my imap server.
So, here it is : I have a working imap server (dovecot), installed following the guide provided here [url]. I can successfully telnet it, or ssl it (from localhost or from another ip of my local network). I can even use my thunderbird from another local computer. Well, for me it is working fine.
Then I installed roundcube (0.3.1-3) with synaptic, but I cannot connect to my localhost imap server.
I have set auth as plain ($rcmail_config['imap_auth_type'] = 'plain';)
Looking in my dovecot log, i see two different behaviour. One is when it seems correct, and roundcube log in imap server, but is disconnect immediately :
Second is when server is refusing the password :
I am working with a plain text passwd, with no encryption at all. Does roundcube encrypt the password I type before to sent it to imap ?
I cannot explain the first behaviour, when roundcube sometimes managed to connect but disconnect immediately. I manage ONE time to reach my mailboxes, but i don't know how, and this never happens again.

I am running SquirrelMail version 1.4.8-5.el5.centos.10 on a CentOS 5.6 64-bit distribution with MailScanner 4.83.4, Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8, and Dovecot 1.0.7 release. One user is having problems connecting via the SquirrelMail interface to his e-mail. Whenever he tries to connect, he gets the following error message:
Quote:
Error: Connection dropped by IMAP server with dovecot
I have tested another user account, and that user is able to connect without issue. I confirmed the presence of dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache, and dovecot.index.log files in the user's <HOME DIR>/mail/.imap/INBOX folder. The /var/log/maillog files do not list any apparent error messages with SquirrelMail.

Is there any Linux software that fetches emails from let's say 3-d party imap server (ex imap.gmail.com) and allows you to access it in nice format through web interface.
So - if I run my own LAMP server I could just type in my ip address and access emails/calendars.
I guess something like Outlook Web Access but free and for Linux?
Is that what Zimbra is?

I have 5 mailboxes provided by my ISP, which I have been using since 2005 with IMAP.1 month ago my Thunderbird client under both 9.04 (desktop) and 9.10 (laptop) started refusing to delete any incoming mail in one of my mailboxes (but not in the other 4).
Error message: "(...) Mail server responded: System I/O Error" 1 week ago, same problem for another mailbox (but not for the other 3), again affecting both machines. Evolution does delete incoming mail on these 2 mailboxes, no issues at all. Have googled, found only one solution (imap folder corrupt), but nothing makes sense.

I've set up an postfix+courier imap+mysql server.is it possible to 'move' mailfiles over to the imap store? I have another mail address at my isp provider. And I would like to get rid of my pop mail storing mails locally in my mail client (which is windows; ms outlook). My ISP doesn't support imap, and I would like to store all my mail on one server, which is located in a good server envirmonment. Plus it's nice to have access to all mail from a web interface when it's vacation/travel time. I was thinking something like having a pop client cheking for mail every couple of minutes on the server, some suedo code follows:
Crontab on local server:
0,5,10,15,20..55 * * * * /usr/sbin/checkmail
2,7,12,17,22..57 * * * * /usr/sbin/mv_mail
checkmail:
Checks and downloads popmail from external server
mv_mail:
moves mail from e.x /var/spool/mail/pop/user/cur/* to /var/spool/mail/imap/user/cur/*
Will this kind of setup be possible? is Maildir style popmail compatible with Maildir style imap?

I've got the problem that Dovecot won't show me my mail!
I've set up my mail_location to maildir:~/Maildir/, and set up a namespace
Code:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = no
[Code]....
I am able to copy mails from another account to the account on my server. But I've got no clue of where dovecot stores them. Not in /var/mail I've checked..
This happened after I re-installed with a 9.10 Ubuntu Server disc.

I am evaluating Horde Groupware Webmail Edition. I have completed the installation as follows:
RHEL 5 workstation 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5
sendmail 8.13.8
procmail v3.22
dovecot 2.0.9
php 5.1.6
[Code]....
How can the /etc/procmailrc be used to deliver mail to the user's Maildir with the correct permissions so that the user can read their mail without a .procmailrc file of their own?

I'm on a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 install and I'm trying to configure Evolution to grab my email from Gmail using IMAP.
For receiving mail my server is set to imap.gmail.com:993 and my user name is ___@gmail.com
I'm using SSL and the authentication type is "Password"
If I click the "Check for supported types button, the "Please wait. Querying server for a list of supported authentication mechanisms." window pops up, but it never finishes.
When I try to sync my mail, evolution doesn't ask for my password, and the send and receive mail window displays my account as "Scanning folders in "IMAP server imap.gmail.com" indefinitely.
Running Evolution from the terminal doesn't seem to print any IMAP related errors only
Code:
** (evolution:5565): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
POP works fine, but that isn't really an option.

I frequently receive e-mail from mailing lists in which I would like to stay active in, although when I access my e-mail I'd like to be able to have the unimportant e-mails in their specific IMAP-folders so I can read them later when I have time.
There is one very important requirement. It bugs me that people continuously keep advising me poor solutions that involve forwarding e-mail e.g. to blabla-mailinglist@domein.tld or storing the e-mail locally. I work frequently from different locations, use different e-mail accounts and see e-mail stored on the server rather than on my local machine as a great advantage.c.
I was thinking of preferably a simple solution that works via a cronjob to do sorting, so it will also work for Plesk and Gmail IMAP accounts. Sorting based on from/to/subject should be sufficient.

Last time I rebooted, sendmail & dovecot started from init and everything worked. I needed to reboot this weekend [new videocard] & yum had given me a new kernel etc.Now.2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686 running Thunderbird - with 2 accounts chuck@otherserver.com and chuck@localhost.
The "otherserver" account works fine. Localhost won't pull in the mail.
/var/log/maillog says
dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<chuck>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
dovecot: POP3(chuck): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0

After a April Fools' Day joke with fake mails (simply faked by forwarding & changing the text body) I tried to insert "real" fake mail into my online GoogleMail account. It was incredibly simple and that freaks me out a little.
I simply created the mail in Kontact, moved it to the folder I wanted it to appear in and synced - done. Someone with better knowledge might probably even manipulate the Kontact database on my computer and then sync, even changing old mails from years ago.
Is there a way to prevent this or find out that the mail wasn't really e.g. sent but just faked? I'm working at the university as a teaching assistant at the moment and from time to time you have those "No, I didn't miss the deadline, I send the mail with the paper to you" students. It was never necessary until now, but I always thought that I might check that by simply asking the student to show me his or her "Sent" folder in their online mail account. But that won't work if you can insert mails into your "Sent" folder via disconnected IMAP.

I setup a postfix mail server. Tested it to make sure it was secure and all seemed good.I sent some test messages and see from the logs that mail is being delivered to the recipient. its only delivering mail to my user's local mbox on the linux server. IMAP appears to have its own mailbox and the two boxes are no linked. I was thinking it was an alias issue however I did at one point have the mailboxes to be the same.... now they are different... Here is the config file.... (I changed the domain names for privacy).
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
