Hello all
I?ve installed a new Server with dovecot, started using it and had no
problems until I noticed that I couldn?t create sub-sub-folders on my imap
account, I?ve read for the past two days info on how to convert and I know
now that instead of using mbox I need to user maildir, the issue is now to
convert mbox to maildir, on the various searches I did, I found the convert
wiki page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert) followed the
instructions there and no luck, I always end up with an error:
Eopen(/.temp.chihuahua.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx.21409.1089e702ee50f317)
failed: Permission denied
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
If I remove the line convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u it starts
correctly but I see no e-mails and no conversion takes place, since it?s a
production server I?ve reverted all changes and had to add a line
(mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u) to be able to see my
e-mails again. I?ve tried stopping dovecot, making the changes and trying
dovecot ?n to see the configuration, but with the same results.
Any ideas on what I?ve been doing wrong?
TIA
H?ctor

It's since had a lot of bugfixes. If you've only a few accounts, you could do the conversion with for example mb2md.pl.

Timo: Thanks so much, it worked like a charm, did a few scripts to convert all the mailboxes since I have already 200+ using procmail, and had to change also the .procmailrc for each user to accommodate Maildir has default incoming maildir. Only one comment, on the page "Converting from mbox to Maildir" you specify on the second mb2md line "mb2md-3.20.pl -m -d /var/mail/incoming/someuser" and it should be "mb2md-3.20.pl -m -s /var/mail/incoming/someuser" Thanks again for the help and great work with dovecot!
