Too short to make the final call, but it seems the #iOS Mail app issues with #Dovecot and IMAP IDLE could be related to Apple’s privacy and IP masking features. Disabling them client-wise for now seems to solve the problem

Eine Frage an die Mailserverbetreiber:

Was muss ich tun, damit die iOS Mail App meine IMAP und SMTP Daten automatisch erkennt?

Wenn ich einen neuen Account einrichte und z.B. ein GMX Account angebe, dann ist der Account sofort eingerichtet.

Wenn ich das mit meinem Mailserver probiere, dann öffnet sich ein erweitertes Fenster und ich muss manuell die SMTP- und IMAP-URL eingeben und zusätzlich ein Benutzername und Passwort.

Spent the morning trying to figure out why recipient_delimiter = + wasn't working in my postfix/dovecot/mysql/ldap setup wasn't working. Yes, it's a bit too complex for its own good, but I found it was a simple issue. [1/3]

Handling output of #Dovecot's #doveadm made easy with #Python:

Debugging #Dovecot for three months to end up, writing this mail:

@frehi I'm already thinking about forking the replication code and porting it to 2.4. This was even motivated by a mail from Aki on the mailing list.

I'm using #Dovecot now for >20y and still think, it is the best solution currently. But I also need to check for alternatives like #Stalwart.

Migrating to Cyrus IMAP sounds tempting now.

Hey #BSD friends!

Is there a way to set up oauth2 on Dovecot for authentication? (All local Auth, no Google or Microsoft involved). Do I have to run some big chunky java blob like keycloak or is there a much lighter weight implementation C somewhere?

Whilst migrating from my very manual email setup to something orchestrated by ansible and highly-available, I have come upon all sorts if jankiness I don't remember configuring.

Currently, I have multiple working MX servers, but only one postfix submission server. The MX's currently all point to a single dovecot server for LMTP, and it also pulls double-duty as my IMAP server.

Next on my list for ansible configuration:

• Set up acme.sh so that each MX can handle its own certificates for postfix and dovecot
• Configure Submission, LMTP and IMAP
• Configure extra mail services, such as opendkim, opendmarc, spf checking, dovecot indexing

This has been a real learning experience, and with any luck will get me to the point where I'm able to spin up/down new mail handlers just by adding hostnames to an ansible inventory list.

#Dovecot Does anyone know how I can use the #zlib plugin to compress my mail archive while transferring from another server? I tried to set it up, but the mail just comes over as-is. The docs suggest that it should convert with #dsync to compressed files. I seem to miss something. #help

Bericht KW17:

- Mo: Feiertag
- Di-Do: Reise nach #Dresden zur Vorbereitung einer Migration von #SoGo nach #Groupoffice. #Dokumentation erstellt, #Konten aufgeräumt und den kompletten E-Mail Bestand (680GB) des #Dovecot #IMAP Servers migriert. GroupOffice eingerichtet und an Kundenwünsche angepasst.
- Fr: Nacharbeiten, Buchhaltung, Kleinigkeiten

Highlight: Es ist schön zu sehen wie liebevoll manche Geschäftsführer das Arbeitsumfeld der Mitarbeiter gestalten. So hält man Ressourcen!

J’ai découvert que j’avais 2,8 millions de mails dans un seul dossier IMAP.
Je répète : deux millions. Huit cent mille.
Merci YunoHost pour les rapports de diagnostic par mail…

J’ai tout purgé en SSH depuis ma voiture, en 5G, pendant que la sono tournait.
Maintenant, iOS Mail et Apple Intelligence peuvent bosser sans convulser.

Je n’administre pas un serveur. Je dompte un fauve .

If you're planning on upgrading #Dovecot from 2.3 to 2.4, better take some days off. Did it yesterday evening and it broke in SO MANY WAYS! I don't know what they were thinking, the upgrade guide is... not very good and there is no config converter. The new config syntax is confusing (but that might only be me) and the daemons run with different permissions it seems? I had trouble with daemons not being able to access config files.
