Dovecot v2.2.3 released
This is a pretty important upgrade for v2.2 users, because of the IMAP
ENVELOPE reply fix.

* LDA/LMTP: If new mail delivery first fails with "temporary
failure", tempfail the whole delivery instead of falling back to
delivering the mail to INBOX. (Requires new Pigeonhole as well.)
* doc/solr-schema.xml was updated to Solr v4.x format. Also the
default analyzers were changed, hopefully for the better. Note that
the schema can't be changed for existing Solr indexes without
rebuilding everything.
* Solr plugin does only soft commits from now on. You'll need a
cronjob to send a hard commit command to it every few minutes.

+ Added %N modifier for variables as %H-like "new hash"
+ sdbox, mdbox: Support POP3 message order field (for migrations)
+ Added mailbox { driver } to specify a different mail storage
format for the mailbox than generally used within the namespace.
+ Added initial lib-sasl library for client side SASL support.
Currently supports only PLAIN, LOGIN and plugins. Used currently
by IMAP and POP3 proxying when authenticating to the remote server.
- IMAP: If subject contained only whitespace, Dovecot returned an
ENVELOPE reply with a huge literal value, effectively causing the
IMAP client to wait for more data forever.
- IMAP: Various URLAUTH fixes.
- imapc: Various bugfixes and improvements
- pop3c: Various fixes to make it work in dsync (without imapc)
- dsync: Fixes to syncing subscriptions. Fixes to syncing mailbox
renames.
 
Update:

sdbox/mdbox users: Don't upgrade just yet.. It seems it may cause "Extension header update points outside header size" errors that don't fix themselves. (Bug 1: Causing this error in the first place, bug 2: not being able to fix it automatically.)

If you're already getting those errors, attached a workaround patch. Probably happens only to POP3 users. I'm not sure yet how to reproduce this.

Don't know if it's relevant.
 
We use Maildir, so sdbox/mdbox wouldn't apply.

Updated in custombuild on files1. Please allow 24 hours for rsync to other mirrors.

Hello,

Anyone else having issues?
Can you also elaborate on the auto-creation of folders? Are you referring to DA's creation of the Maildir paths with the accounts?

I don't have any problems, 2.2.3 works fine for me. Running CentOS 6.4 64bit on all servers.
 
No issue here, CentOS 5.9 and 6.4 both 64bit.

Honestly, i didnt get the autocreate folder aswell, what i would need to check?

Regards

Dovecot support folder autocreation in the config. We use it to make sure folders like INBOX/Spam exist.
V2.2.3 seg fault if you use that feature.
