In the dovecot.conf file i've set up convert_mail = dbox:%h but I am not sure about the syntax. Im getting the error: Couldn't create mailbox directory INBOX Mailbox conversion failed, exiting Thanks -- Kjartan

Hello Actually we use MBOX format for all our IMAP access but users complain they cannot create subfolders in imap folders, of course they cannot because of MBOX format ... I need gurus advices on changing mailbox format Maildir of Dbox ? What would be the safest way to go ? Note : we extensively use Thunderbird here. Thanks

Hello, I've got a Dovecot virtual email setup using maildir as the mailbox format. I am wondering from others who have chosen dbox a comparison between maildir and dbox or those who have migrated from one format to another. I am wondering if changing to dbox would be beneficial? Thanks. Dave.

I'm facing some issues on mdbox based backups. Backups are failing with dbox corruption messages. SiS is the greatest advantage though. However backups integrity is very important. If SiS/Deduplication is not a requirement stick to Maildir.

Hello. Please excuse this off-topic request, but I know that the question has been debated in summary form on this list a number of times. I would find a paper that lays out the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of SS in the context of unbalanced data in ANOVA, regression and ANCOVA, especially including the use of different types of contrasts and the meaning of the

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

Hi, we run a Red Hat EL 5.2 mailserver with dovecot as the imap server. Mails are stored in mbox format and there are about 134GB of mail. At the moment users copy their importent mail to their workstation accounts wich are backed up nightly. What are your suggestions to back up the mails not copied? Thanks for any comments. BTW: Dose changing the mailbox format from mbox to Maildir or dbox

Hi! I've changed my mailbox format from dbox to Maildir. The problem is maildir message filename extension has no S=/W= field after migration. Using dovecot 2.1.15.

There are many like it, but this one is mine. David, in particular, is there some question you feel that the wiki fails to answer? Aki

Ok - I gave up on trying to get CIFS to work - there's obviously stuff going on I don't understand. So - instead of trying to get a virtual server to work, I next tried a chroot. That worked...but imapsync error'ed out trying to handle one of my large mailboxes. I was trying to setup a "new" server, migrate all my mail over, verify everything worked - maybe even leave the

(Note: I am not subscribed to this ML, so please be sure to CC me in replies.) Hello, I see a strange bug when running dovecot under btrfs with a mailbox in mdbox format. At some point, which can take a few minutes or more than a day, dovecot starts logging pread() failures, like so: Apr 02 23:43:42 thetick dovecot[570]: imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file

Hello, As per wiki instructions, I tried to enable zlib compression of mails by adding/modifying the following snippets of configuration: plugin { zlib_save_level = 6 zlib_save = gz } and protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat autocreate zlib imap_zlib imap_id_log = * } I am using dbox format and delivering the mails via dovecot deliver, however mails don't seem

It has been my wish to move to dbox for a long time hoping to reduce the number of writes which is really killing us. Now I wonder what may be the best way of doing so. I'm considering some sort of intermediate migration where the existing Maildir users are changed to single-dbox and then later upgraded to 2.0 and changed to multi-dbox when it becomes stable. But is this a reasonable task

I didn't see what are the main differences in http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#backend Specifically, I'm interested in what is faster (direct sounds faster to me), and if there are any major restrictions (networking?) Here's an example command we are running (sorry, Python'ish, but you'll get it): ['virt-sysprep', '--connect', 'qemu:///system',

I'd like to give the dbox format a try, but I could not find any information on how to enable it. There's information on how to set mail_location for the Maildir and mbox formats in the wiki and also in the commented configuration file, but how to set it for dbox is strangely missing. I took a guess with 'mail_location = dbox:~/dbox', but that didn't work, so it's probably

Hi, I am contemplating migrating from maildir to dbox. However, I wonder about the maturity of the dbox code, as it appears to not be widely used. Does anybody have some success stories? My primary driver is to have non-changing file names, and thus smaller backup deltas. Are there other advantages that I should pursue? I read in the wiki that the migration is straightforward, but I did not

Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one
