Hi All, After over a week of stuffing around in /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and lots of trial and error, I now have a controlled setup to migrate one user at a time to Maildir without affecting the other mbox based users. For the sake of not posting an essay, if you go to this web page: http://dmc1961.id.au/howto_17101101.php you will see what I have done (moderators please let me know if this is the correct or allowable practice to post links rather than massive e-mails to the group?). My sincere thanks to all who contributed and helped steer me in the right direction - I got a little lost...

...tOS with SendMail, Procmail and IMAP conversion from mbox to Maildir - I needed to make sure I could run both formats while I migrated users one-by-one. Not sure if what I did helps, but I created a 'how-to' page on it on my website rather than post an essay on the e-mail forum: http://dmc1961.id.au/howto_17101101.php In essence I am using /etc/procmailrc and the users_db approach to get e-mail delivered correctly after I have converted an account to Maildir format. I also never trust anything in my IT life, so I backup the mail directories under $HOME to mail_old. Not sure if this...

Hello everybody, I am in the process to install dovecot as an IMAP server. Currently, this system runs postfix and uses procmail for local (mbox style) delivery. Procmail ist started by postfix like this: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail ~/.forward: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 # jw" Before going

Hi All, please be kind, this is my first e-mail to the list :-) I actively support CentOS based e-mail servers running Dovecot, Sendmail, Spammassassin and 3 x SOGo based setups. Dovecot is my goto IMAP server and have used it and modifications to it to net excellent results for years. Then we have people who insist on only using Outlook (and in some instances the MS Live Messenger thingy).

Hi David, I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox. You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but in summary it went like this: - set Dovecot to grab the mail_location from user-settings (I think we used MySQL db field - or check docs for auto:) - have login

Hi, I am not an professional system admin, but I am running a small debian mail server for many years. It is time to migrate from mbox to Maildir. There is a nice and clean description for doing this without service downtime at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync I have to set per-user config for mailbox type using userdb extra fields. However, I miss some information and I can not
