I'm a nube to Dovecot and this list. Please be kind. ;)
I'm running Dovecot 1.1.20 and Postfix 2.5.5 on OS X Server 10.6.6.
I've moved accounts from another, older cyrus-based server (thank god), and
used fetchmail to imap the existing mail to the new server. At some point, I
developed a problem with my partition map being semi-ignored. Mail is stored in
multiple places, and I'm not sure why or entirely clear how it ended up
there. My log is overflowing with entries such as?
Jan 10 15:44:57 gilded-bat dovecot[65]: auth(default): od(john_doe_com): unable
to find partition for tag=johndoe: using default mail location:
/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail
?referring to each of my defined partitions.
Here's what I semi-understand.
/etc/dovecot/partition_map.conf.default contains:
default:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail
/etc/dovecot/partition_map.conf contains correct entries like
default:/Mail
JohnDoe:/Groups/JohnDoe/Mail
[etc.]
dovecotd -n is below. It's configuration with regard to mail store
locations look ok to me, but then I'm a virgin.
In practice, mail is being stored in three different locations. They're all
full of mail directories and are busy.
/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail
/Mail
/Groups/JohnDoe/Mail
?with of course the third entry being many entries for each client. The
directories described definitely exist. Clients started out being able to see
old mail that was transferred from the retired server, but no longer do.
I'm not actually clear which of the three mail stores in use are being
accessed by whom or for what. (And let's not even ask why none of this
showed up in testing.)
In short, I'm over my head and the villagers are outside with the usual
pitchforks and torches.
Thanks,
Bryan
