Imap-Login

[Daniel26]

Hello,

I try to configure a User to get his mails from the IMAP-Server.
The User was created a while before with createuser, but without imapserver and smtpserver.

So I modified it with "changeuser -c1 -A oxadmin -P secret -I 791.

When the user logs in I see in the logs:

Jul 6, 2009 11:23:14 AM com.openexchange.ajax.Folder actionGetSubfolders
SEVERE: MSG-0004 Category=8 Message=Missing parameter in user's mail config: login exceptionID=635961412-838

On the imap-server I don#T see any connection-attempt.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?


Regards

Daniel

Hi,

have you tried adding the --imapserver, --smtpserver and --imaplogin attributes?

Sorry, forgot to write that.
Yes, I tried the imapserver and smtpserver. I also tried imaplogin (which is the same es the username in ox), but now it seems to work (after I waited 15 min. untill the next login-attempt).

Thanks

Regards

Daniel

Another question: Can I share my mails with another user over the Web-Interface?
I can share the calendar, but can I share the Mails?

Of course you can do that, but only if your IMAP server supports ACL.

Hmmm, IMAP-Server is Dovecot, don't know if he supports ACL.

[Martin Heiland]

you can check this by telnetting to the imap server on port 143 and issue the "CAPABILITY" command:

01 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE IDLE STARTTLS
01 OK Completed

ACL are supported by dovecot in general, but it depends on the configuration.

[Daniel26]

Sorry, that don't work

CAPABILITY BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.

I Will use google to find it out.

Thanks

Ok, Dovecot supports global ACL and per-mailbox-acl with plugins.
So I configured per-mailbox-acl.

Do I have to give rights for my mailbox to a specific user or how is this solved in ox?

[Martin Heiland]

Nope, if the server supports ACL it is automatically detected by OX and a "Rights" tab at the folder properties appears.

Cheers

[Daniel26]

Hmmm, i configured per-mailbox-acl, but dovecot still gives no "ACL" at the capability-command.

Has anybody here experience with dovecot?

Regards

Daniel

[Daniel26]

Ok, Dovecot < 1.2 can't work with per-mailbox-acl.
Now I've updated my dovecot to 1.2.0.
The Rights-Tab for the Imap-Folder is now there, but If I try to change the rights I get a "unbekannter Imap-Server".

Seems that the Cpability-String of Dovecot is not known by the Ox.

[Martin Heiland]

Hi,

please post the CAPABILITY response and server signature of dovecot 1.2

Thanks

[Daniel26]

Ok, on telnet localhost 143 I get:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.


Capability says:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH ACL RIGHTS=texk AUTH=PLAIN

Do you need any other Infos?

[Martin Heiland]

Thank you, we'll check this. Could you just outline what linux distro/package you're using with dovecot 1.2 or is it compiled from source?

Greetings
