Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot? for example: #!/bin/bash # v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install # Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs # after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder MDIR="$HOME/Maildir" MDM=&...

username GiuseppeCefaratti PostFix HOWTO par 3.3 Create users mailbox ... To setup *Maildir* mail boxes for our example user john we cano use the *?maildirmake?* command.

...how to create a maildir with a quota file(maildirsize) I saw that if there was a maildirsize it would get its quota from there but can't find how to create that file. I'm using pam auth and would like to set different quotas for each users. With courier-imap there is a useful command : maildirmake -q 100000S Maildir/ to assign a quota to a maildir. But i don't know how to do with dovecot... Cheers, Erc PEYREMORTE

Does dovecot support shared folders, maildir style? I've set it up, using the maildirmake from debian maildrop to create folders. I have a number of as-yet unresolved issues, so I haven't been able to test with many clients. It's interesting that dovecot manages to present folders as siblings (rather than children) of INBOX. But mutt, at least, doesn't seem to see the sh...

It is possibile to call maildirmake at login-time? My final goal is to create maildir at login time (like courier-imapd) or at least to create .INBOX.Trash, .INBOX.Drafts, .INBOX.Sent dir for virtual user /home/vmail/domains/$virtual_domain/$virtual_user/ .... with already exsistant Maildir (created by postfix) Thanks in advance

Dear All, Is it possible to make quota rules under $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes with a specific command such as 'edquota' when the first email arrives at the $HOME/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp} of a user. In the below example, the <UserB> is the one who gets an email for the first time. edquota -p <UserA> <UserB> ---man edquot--- -p, --prototype=protoname Duplicate the

...ver from Courier-IMAP. Other than that, my first impression is a very good one. One question (I may have missed it in the docs): how do I properly create folders with national characters (umlauts) in their names? Apparently, Courier-IMAP and Dovecot just forward the file name verbatim when I type maildirmake -f t=E4=DFt Maildir, which doesn't look right. OTOH, I am well aware that the IMAP servers can't possible guess the character set, so it must be my "maildirmake" that is flawed rather than the server. This is Courier-IMAP: . namespace * NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".&quo...

Hi. Uhm... yeah as the topic implies I want to have . (dots) in my folder names... Unfortunately dovecot's maildirmake hasn't a -f switch as the one from courier/maildrop, but that one in turn is buggy[0] and doesn't encode any characters at all. In principle, maildir++ should allow[1] having (encoded) dots in folder names,... but I don't quite understand how the encoding actually works, cause UTF-7 s...

...ind of situation? 2. Currently, we use only /etc/passwd to store our user information. Postfix is our MTA and maildrop is MDA. Quota settings were wriiten in the maildirsize file reside under Maildir directory at everyone's home. The command we use to set user quota: /usr/local/bin/maildirmake -q 315000000S Maildir After installing a test environment using dovecot v1.1.beta13, we found that it does not read the quota settings from the maildirsize file, instead, it only rely on the system wide settings. This could be a problem since we have different quota settings for diffe...

I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them eit...

Hello I'm dovecot bigginer from courier-imap. I used shared maildir in courier like this. 1) create maildir # maildirmake -S /home/shared 2) create maildirshared file # echo 'SHARE /home/shared ' > /etc/courier/maildirshared (use tabcode) 3) edit imapd config file IMAP_UMASK=022 IMAP_SHAREDINDEXFILE=/etc/courier/shared/index in courier, only 3 step.

Hi: I am using dovecot since the first day on my server (so I have no other mailbox formats). I can't create any subfolders under any IMAP folders. Is this still an issue of dovecot? In mozilla, the operation is simply ignored. With outlook, you can't even click "Accept" if you select to create a subfolder, rather than a top level folder. I have Fedora Core 1, and

...works fine and I'm able to access my mail via squirrelmail and via Outlook with imap. However I want to create subfolders what is not possible. After reading I discovered that I use mbox and that maildir is needed in order to be able to use subfolders. I have created a Maildir folder with the maildirmake.dovecot command in my /home/mirko directory and corrected the owner. Now dovecot uses the Maildir and I can create subfolers. However my problem is that I don't receive Emails in my Inbox. Incoming mails are delivered to /var/mail/mirko, but when dovecot uses Maildir it doesn't access this...

Hi, I'm still figthing with passwd-file, virtual users and permissions. I have created the directory /var/spool/virtual/test and inside I've done a "maildirmake Maildir".

What I do now is to use the htpasswd program and then I complete by hand the rest of the fields (uid:group:GECOS:home:shell) htpass...
