Hi, Dovecot 1.1.3 is running on Mac OS X 10.5 latest version, with Maildir (LAYOUT=fs). I have following issues when Entourage 2008 connects it, over imap/imaps. Entourage does not cache the mails. After every restart the folder contents are fetched fresh. I have enabled the Entourage option to get entire messages. Entourage caches the gmail IMAP folders fine. Also Outlook 2007 does not have this problem while connecting to the same IMAP server. I have some big folders with a few thousands of emails. Entourage fails with Error: 4362 (Mail could not be retrieved this time) while fetching mails from these folders. Restarting and rebuilding the Entourage database did not fix this issue. Any tips to resolve these issues or to debug what is going on would be greatly appreciated.

I will try Rawlog and try to find out what is going on. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Dovecot-on-Mac---Entourage-cannot-fetch-emails-tp21752176p21796918.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I looked at the rawlog output. The dovecot server is doing fine. It is responding normally to the FETCH commands, but after a few batch fetches, the Entourage server closes connection. I switched to Mail.app for the time being, and it is working great. I assume that both the problems reported above are due to IMAP impl issues on Entourage. Thanks for your tip. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Dovecot-on-Mac---Entourage-cannot-fetch-emails-tp21752176p21815370.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
