In https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync#section_arguments the destination list 5 possible options for the destination but in the page on migration https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync it seems to use a sixth undocumented "imapc:" option for destination e.g. doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u user at domain imapc: "imapc:" is also referenced on

...reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du` Another account has around 750MB according to IMAP but using du I find 1.5GB. This is for message files and index files combined. Is this normal? I tried to read the MailboxFormat/dbox wiki page and it does not directly address this topic but it does reference "doveadm purge". Do I need to use "doveadm purge"?

...the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to his INBOX. Any ideas for how we can migrate user by user to mdbox? Can we add a mailboxFormat attribute to LDAP, and somehow get that used in the user_attrs lookup ? Ideally have it default to maildir if not set, so that the current setup isn?t changed and only migrated users are affected. Or should we be keeping the mailboxFormat as a prefix in all mailMessageStore strings ? -jf

v2.1 supports now multiple LDAP fields in a template e.g.: user_attrs = \ homeDirectory=home, \ uidNumber=uid, \ gidNumber=gid, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} which is the same as: user_attrs = \ =home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber}, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} I was also thinking about adding an alternative simplified syntax for this: user_attrs { hom...

Hello. I'm install latest dovecot 1.2 from hg repo. I have many messages in maildir+ format. I migrate some folders to dbxo format using instructions from http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox. But in two folders i'm delete index.cache and index.log files, this is my mistake. Is that possible to recover this files (regenerate) or use my messages from maildir with dbox? Thank You for any tips and help. P.S. Thank You for best e-mail software!

I was thinking about documentation for alternate storage. We have a few mentions at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove But I was thinking it would be helpful if there could be a page about alternate storage. I could write the page, but I currently have so many unknowns that I think it would be better to gather some more i...

Hi, I have a fedora21 install with dovecot-2.2.18, and when creating a new subfolder with thunderbird, the actual folder name is "Folder1^Folder2" with a carat as a separator, instead of creating Folder2 in the Folder1 directory. Is this a thunderbird problem? I don't recall having this problem prior to upgrading to fedora21, so thought maybe it's a dovecot problem. Maybe the

There are many like it, but this one is mine. David, in particular, is there some question you feel that the wiki fails to answer? Aki

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the

I do realize from the Wiki that the formats are incompatible, and am looking at the Courier spec (http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/?README.imapkeywords.html) and the Dovecot spec (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir) trying to see if there's any sane way I could try and write a shellscript. The pain here is the Courier spec, I think I lost a few brain cells trying to understand this convoluted methodology ("When encountering ".N.file" after another ".N.file" was encount...

I'd like to add S=<size> and W=<vsize> to the filenames in my Maildir storage for newly delivered mails. But I cannot find where I can make Dovecot's LDA add those. Anybody? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir says: A maildir filename with those fields would look something like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S which is exactly what I want, but it doesn't tell me how! -- Ralf Hildebrandt Gesch?ftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charit? - Universit?tsmedizin Berlin Campu...

Is it possible to cooperate with dovecot within its Maildir, and if so, what's required? In this particular case, we're thinking of trying to allow notmuch to operate directly on the dovecot Maildir, and at the moment, the only modifications notmuch makes are to change maildir flags. Would locking dovecot-uidlist.lock be sufficient, perhaps via liblockfile? Also, is there some reliable

I noticed in Cyrus they seem to address maildir++ recognised by IMAP. I need to know does Dovecot recognise this format? Procmail has an ability to deliver mails to different folders which if unrecognised renders the whole process useless. Does Dovecot have a similar deliver method? Thanks. -Walt

Hi. For mbox, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox#Dovecot.27s_Metadata lists a numer of mail headers: - X-IMAPbase - X-IMAP - X-UID - Status - X-Status - X-Keywords - Content-Length that are treated specially by dovecot. It also suggests, that these should be stripped by the LDA (I guess in order that someone sending you such mail cannot set...

Hi, Non-standard fields are mentioned here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and they are stated as currently not used. Questions: - am I right that if they will be used, they will be key=value pairs, like fields in the base filename? Like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,X=12,A=something - or are they supposed to be flags, like: 1035478339.2...
