I'm having problems getting dovecot to read my mbox file. I have turned on mail_debug.

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.cache -rw---...

http://dovecot.org/test/ Lots of bugfixes related to syncing. There's still some left. Somewhat working mbox support: - combined syncing/rewriting uses much less disk I/O than with older mbox code - expunges aren't working yet - last-uid field in X-IMAPbase header isn't updated - it's currently syncing the whole mbox constantly even if it hasn't changed - it isn't hiding th...

Hello, I want to use dovecot as imap server with mbox storage format (described at [1]) but I also want to access (and modify!) those mbox files which are stored on server (and used by dovecot). What is correct way to read those mboxes? From wiki page [1] I read that I should ignore first message in mbox (which contains X-IMAPbase header) and mbo...

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a $namespace folder folder1b...

As the freeze for Debian sarge slowly approaches I want to make sure the Dovecot packages are in as good condition as possible. I see there have been a number of patches since 0.99.10. I have added the following patches: * segfault when user home directory is empty * Proper PAM service name * Make suid work on 2.6 kernels Any other patches thatI ought to add. Or better yet, will there be a

Heya, we have two IMAP (UW-imap and dovecot) servers accessing the same mbox files for our users (don't ask why) and sometimes the UW-imap corrupts the mbox file. The mbox looks just like normal mbox except it does not have the proper 'From ' beginning of the file (usually there are some random tidbits in the begining of the file, which can be easily stripped to...

Hi We have an mailserver running RedHat Linux 9.0 with UW-IMAP (imap-2001a- 18.progeny.1.src.rpm), we have user mailboxes in /var/spool/mail/username using the default mbox storage method. Some users have home directories and some dont. They only connect through the POP3 server, not IMAP. We are now migrating both hardware and software to an new server running RHEL 4, i have copied all user mbox files from the old RH9 server to the new RHEL 4 server (/var/spool...

We are currently running dovecot 2.2.rc3. I am trying to 'dsync mirror' old Qpopper/mbox inboxes to our new Dovecot/mdbox servers. For most of the several thousand accounts, it works without issue. But there are a handful of accounts that are generating the following errors. dsync(joe): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/joe/inbox: seq=981 uid=981 uid_broken=0 o...

Migrating from UW IMAP/Qpopper mbox to Dovecot mbox. I have ~500 users, some with HUGE mbox (500MB-1GB), is there a script to create the Dovecot indexes at night to help speed up the migration process. Any idea. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf leboeuf at emt.inrs.ca

Hello, i tried to implement a mixed structure of mbox for spams and spam backscatters and maildir for the rest at dovecot 1.0.13. I used the information at the dovecot wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces (Multiple Mailbox Locations) But if i try this (complete config is attached with this part) namespace: type: private separator: / pref...

Timo, I upgraded from alpha3 to alpha4 yesterday, and I am seeing a few of the following asserts: imap(user): file mbox-lock.c: line 379 (mbox_lock_fcntl): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_UNLCK) Gdb info on a couple of the cores is attached. It looks like the arg lock_type for mbox_lock_fcntl() is not getting passed in correctly, like the enum "enum mbox_lock_type type" in mbox_lock_list() is not gett...

I have some archive mails in gzipped mboxes. I could use them with dovecot 1.x without problems. But recently I have installed dovecot 2.0.12, and they are slow. very slow. Creating index files takes about 10 minutes for ~20M file with 560 messages for bzipped mbox, for gzipped is little better but still unusable :( Stracing dovecot proc...

I'm attempting to use Maildir and mbox together until I can finish migrating all mailboxes and figure out issues I'm having with a couple other mailboxes. But, I want to officially start using Maildir as the primary msg. store. Now...when I configure Dovecot as follows, it creates new folders in the ~/mail folder, which is whe...

Here is what -I- would say: I use mbox on all my servers which I have absolutely no intention of changing despite the issues concerning file locking inherent in the whole mbox format. So please, --NO-- attempts to convince me to go to maildir. My take is that if I am going to use an IMAP server, it would be VERY nice if a POP3 server...

Hi! ? I have several mbox files (unstructured, only the big?plain mbox?files) and I would like to integrate/read these mbox files into mdbox subfolders of specific users.? This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (o...
