Hello List,
I am in the process of building a new mail system here. I am hoping to
eventually migrate my users from mbox storage to maildir. They have
been using mbox forever and would rather get used to maildir slowly.
So I have come upon the idea of using namespaces to provide the
different mailstores. Since this isn't available in the current
stable, or at least I could not figure out how to do it, I have been
working with 1.0-test68 since it provides the ability to configure
things with the namespaces.
But I am seeing an error pop up in my maillog file when exiting the
client, it is:
===========================================May 3 08:11:41 tbox dovecot:
IMAP(sub4000): file mbox-sync.c: line 1371
(mbox_sync_do): assertion failed: (sync_ctx->mbox->mbox_sync_dirty)
May 3 08:11:41 tbox dovecot: child 12717 (imap) killed with signal 6
===========================================
Wasn't sure if it is a code bug or if it is how I have the namespace
entries setup. In my dovecot.conf file I have:
------------------------------------
namespace private {
separator = /
inbox = yes
# prefix = "#mbox/"
location = mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = md/
location = maildir:~/Maildir
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = mail/
hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = ~/mail/
hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = ~%u/mail/
hidden = yes
}
------------------------------------
All seems to work except the message showing up in the logs.
My goal/setup is to provide:
1. mbox delivery in the mailspool(/var/mail) from sendmail
2. access to existing ~/Mail/ mbox storage.
3. ability to begin setting up / migrating to maildir in ~/Maildir
Is my namespace config above overkill / borken / wrong?
Ideas / suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Environment:
Server to be: RedHat AS EL4
Clients: Thunderbird, Evolution, mutt, pine, mailreader on OS/X.
TIA
