So I was having an issue with the mail app in my iPhones not being able to get IMAP email from my dovecot server.
Turned out I needed to change my dovecot config from this:
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/mail.{{ domain }}.key
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/mail.{{ domain }}.crt
ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/mail.{{ domain }}.chain.pem
to this:
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/mail.{{ domain }}.key
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/mail.{{ domain }}.chain.pem
Here’s some info about Dovecot SASL. I integrate this facility for Postfix authentication too. So my SMTP system has a dependency on my IMAP/POP3 system. In the backend it’s a MySQL database…
So when running ‘ufw’ I was getting this error: WARN: Duplicate profile ‘Dovecot IMAP’, using last found
The issue was duplicate rules were specified in:
/etc/ufw/applications.d/dovecot-core
And:
/etc/ufw/applications.d/dovecot-imapd
The solution for me was to delete the second file (imapd) as it was covered by the previous file (core).
So I found this:
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor…
mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new = true
Then I installed the Akonadi console:
root@tact:/home/jj5# apt-get install akonadiconsole
I opened it from K -> Applications -> Development -> Akonadi Management and Debugging Console.
Then in it I selected Agents -> Local Folders.
Then I changed: /home/jj5/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0 to my ‘important’ Thunderbird ImapMail directory.
