This tutorial is for only RHEL/CentOS 5.x, Debian 5.

Install Dovecot 1.2

on RHEL/CentOS 5

Dovecot 1.2 is available in iRedMail yum repository, you can install it via yum command.

Terminal:
# cp /etc/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot-1.1.conf
# rpm -e dovecot dovecot-sieve
warning: /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot saved as /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot.rpmsave
warning: /etc/dovecot.conf saved as /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmsave

# yum install dovecot dovecot-sieve dovecot-managesieve
# cp /etc/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot-1.2.conf
# cp /etc/dovecot-1.1.conf /etc/dovecot.conf

Package dovecot-managesieve provides 'managesieve' service, so we don't need pysieved anymore. Disable it:

Terminal:
# chkconfig --level 345 pysieved off
# /etc/init.d/pysieved stop

on Debian 5

Append below line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

File: /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main

Install Dovecot 1.2:

Terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d

Update Dovecot configure

We need to update Dovecot config file dovecot.conf, it's /etc/dovecot.conf on RHEL/CentOS, /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf on Debian 5.

  • Remove umask. It wasn't really used anywhere anymore.
  • Remove zlib plugin. They are buggy in 1.x and will be fixed only in 2.x.
  • Change sieve plugin name cmusieve to sieve in protocol lda {} section.
  • Change ssl_disable=no to ssl=yes.
  • [For MySQL backend] Add two more columns in vmail.mailbox if not present:
Terminal:
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> ALTER TABLE mailbox ADD COLUMN enablesieve TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
mysql> ALTER TABLE mailbox ADD COLUMN enablesievesecured TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
  • [For RHEL/CentOS] Append managesieve service related config:
File: dovecot.conf

# ManageSieve service. http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve
protocol managesieve {
    listen = 127.0.0.1:2000
}

# Plugin: sieve. ttp://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
plugin {
    #sieve_global_path =
    #sieve_global_dir = 
    #sieve_before = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve
    #sieve_after =
    sieve = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/dovecot.sieve
    sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/
}
