      Unfortunately for me it didn’t go so well :-(
      First thing I noticed that the update downloads were much slower than normal - even down to around 200kb/s;
      there were no errors during the update process but Mailcow failed to start all services.
      I couldn’t access the web admin page and smtp was failing - yet I could see IMAP/POP was seemingly OK:

      UPDATED - I found out the following day that the reason it didn’t go well was because GitHub was having severe network issues that evening as i was running the update! Bad timing on my part :-(
      I’ve just run the update again and all went well.
      Thanks to the Devs and all involved with Mailcow.

    • In Windows users: How do you use mailcow?

      I personally use Thunderbird - IMAP and CalDAV - and have no issues although I am using an older version as I don’t like the 102+ versions (yet). I’ve not seen the memory issues you describe in v91 and below. I’ve just been monitoring it with several accounts active and configured and can’t get it above 1GB of memory usage

      The trick has always been to wean people off of Outlook! I’ve had success doing so with EmClient. It is nice, but I haven’t used it as the ‘daily drive’ for some time.

      You could look at BlueMail for Windows if ActiveSync is important.

      The other solution I quite like is ‘Appify’ Sogo webmail. Use (eg) MS Edge to log into the webmail; select the dropdown menu top right; select Apps; Install this site as an App.

      Pin that to the taskbar. Works a charm once you get used to getting around SOGo webmail (which can be counter-intuitive at times).

    • In Outlook not showing attachment sent from Thunderbird+MailCow

      I’m happy to help you troubleshoot this if you need to look at reproducing it at an external server. I couldn’t find a way to PM in here, so send to maddler@iig.com.au (we’ll edit that out later).

      • In Outlook not showing attachment sent from Thunderbird+MailCow

        Is it any type of attachment? Or specific type?
        Perhaps try setting up an @outlook.com address and sending the same attachment to there or even cc/bcc the message to there. That may give you a clue as to where it is being stripped.

        • In dovecot auth: unknown user

          Hi all.

          I have a number of these messages for some accounts in the dovecot logs:
          auth: passwd-file(admin@example.com): unknown user
          auth: passwd-file(admin@example.com,172.22.1.253): unknown user

          Everything appears to be working fine - POP, IMAP, SMTP, SOGO.
          I can’t seem to find a pattern as to the cause.

          Any suggestion welcomed, thank you.
