I can't find much documentation on the convert_mail plugin. For example, on the wiki plugins page, clicking on convert goes to <http://wiki.dovecot.org/InterWiki> which is not relevant. Can I use convert_mail to migrate from UW IMAP 2002 mbox format where some mail is in ~/ and the inboxes are in /var/spool/mail? Will it know which fil...

Hi I'm trying to use convert_mail plugin to convert wu-imap mailbox to maildir. I'm using dovecot rc 27 on Centos 4.4 linux. I have user INBOX in /var/spool/mail/ and mbox file in mail ~/mail When I do the first login with a test user (test1), the plugin convert all the mbox under ~mail, but doesn't do any conversion o...

...ovecot-1.0.rc26 and my settings. When a user log, maildir creation is successful, but no mbox conversion occur. New incoming mails are dropped into maildir, but I cant access those in Mbox file.

Is there a particular settings to use ? Anything wrong with my setup ?

convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail Convert plugin. If set, specifies the source storage path which is converted to destination storage (mail_location) when the user logs in. The existing mail directory is renamed to <dir>-converted. I'm not entirely clear on what this does. If someone can clar...

...onversion scripts, I'd like to give the convert plugin a chance. I have Dovecot 1.0.1 on Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 (Linux 2.4.27), and we had UW IMAP 2002e. Dovecot seems to work OK (e.g. I can add copy messages to it), but things break when I activate the convert plugin. The Wiki suggests convert_mail = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u # <--- locally changed to /var/spool/mail/%u convert_skip_broken_mailboxes=yes However, when I start Dovecot, then I get: Starting Dovecot Imap: ILoading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap IModule loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_convert_plugin....

...creating these folders, and how do we stop it? I can clean it up ok (which I'd rather do as one maintenance) but only once I know it wont happen again. Should also mention that we have a mbox convert script running for a couple of months, to convert their old mail. Then it will be removed: convert_mail = mbox:/export/mbox/migrate/%u:INBOX=/export/mbox/migrate/%u/%u:INDEX=Maildir:%h/mail/ Should also mention, one server in the cluster was incorrectly running version dovecot-1.0.2 (boy was that fun to track down).

Hi, How do i convert from Maildir to dbox using the convert plugin? My users reside in /home/user/Maildir. 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

Timo, Running v1.0.0 The convert plugin works pretty damn good! No need to mess with external utilities. One comment, though: Running here on OS X, I configured it with this convert_mail line: convert_mail = mbox:~/Library/Mail/IMAP/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir The IMAP directory was renamed to IMAP-converted after the process but the inbox (in /var/mail) does not get renamed. The WIKI sounds like it should be renamed to something, too. B. Bod...

Hello, I got a Problem with the "convert" Plugin. Trying to convert from mbox to maildir Format. OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) dovecot -version: 1.0.7 (Centos RPM) convert Plugin call: convert_mail = mbox:/opt/pop3/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u When converting to maildir - POP3 works fine (except the lost UIDL - so every server-saved message is double downloaded - but did not find any fix for this problem with convert plugin) But the IMAP In-Boxes give me some headache . All Folders are conver...

...39;m trying to get old mail from /var/mail/<user>, where <user> is the (sometimes) huge mailfile, not a directory, converted to the maildir INBOX in ~/Maildir. Users have no ~/mail directory; they were supposed to use pop3 only. I'm trying the example from the wiki: plugin { convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%n } but have still not succeded. I tried /var/mail/<user> where <user> is a file and /var/mail/<user>/<user> where user is first a diredtory en the second <user> a file. I also used the filename 'inbox', since the logging sugg...

I am running dovecot 0.99. Everything works great; however, now I am looking at several different tools to convert mbox to Maildir. It seems the tools, mb2md.pl, perfect_maildir.pl, and others all do what they claim; however, when the messages are converted and they are stored in Maildir/cur, the email clients download these messages as new. This typically wouldn't be a problem;

Hie folks, Does anyone have any experiences using dovecot + per user quota + ldap? I've configured my settings as this example: # quotaStorage must be in the format mentioned above # For example: dirsize:storage=10240 user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,,uidNumber,gidNumber,quotaStorage=quota But, Dovecot isn't creating maildirsize file. Any guesses? PS: I've

...I'm trying to find something similar for Dovecot. * fetchmail-wakeup is the right kind of idea, but I need it to stop running once mail has been transferred successfully once. It also needs different parameters for each user (e.g. user/pass used to login to the remote IMAP server) * The convert_mail plugin only works with local mail spools, as far as I can tell. I'm not sure how it determines whether conversion has already taken place (whether the target maildir already exists?) * autocreate only creates empty mailboxes Any of these might be a starting point for developing my own plu...
