Hi All,
After upgrading dovecot for sid Thunderbird no longer displays the
contents of any emails
I have had a working IMAP setup for as much as a year even though I
don't understand dovecot configuration well enough to know how I got
it to go in the first place.
Here is the output of dovecot -n
# 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-vserver-686 i686 Debian 5.0
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
mail_location: ~/Maildir
auth default:
passdb:
driver: passwd-file
args: /etc/passwd.dovecot
userdb:
driver: passwd
TIA for any clues as what to do next.
Anything in /var/log/syslog?
No but I found the answer in /var/log/mail.err
Apparently the rules about Dovecot mail_location had changed and the
Debian package did not warn me at install time about this.
I needed to prepend maildir: to the ~/Maildir value of mail_location in
dovecot.conf. The value ~/Maildir had been working for a long time
(maybe as much a year ago) until this last update of Dovecot.
Thanks,
Paul
Also, have you tried writing a small Perl/Python script to peek into
the IMAP store?
