Hi, Two things: 1. Does anyone know of a good PPA with updated packages of Dovecot for Ubuntu? "For the latest Dovecot for latest Ubuntu LTS see Xiaoka APT Repository. (Outdated. Could someone provide a ppa for latest stable Dovecot, please?)" 2. On the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Ubuntu page there is a link to a supposedly outdated PPA, the ppa page now redirects to

Hi, I upgraded (in place upgrade, preserving my dovecot configs) to a newer release of ubuntu in order to gain access to slightly newer Dovecot release and be able to use Dsync for migration from Cyrus, here is my doveconf -n output: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-44-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 auth_debug = yes auth_default_realm = whatever.com auth_master_user_separator

Hi All! I am working on a complete migration from an old solaris machine running Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 and wish to migrate all users to a new ubuntu vm running Dovecot 2.0.19. What I have so far is a fully functional dovecot installation with LDAP / Dovecot SASL auth using Maildir++. My plan is to use Perdition IMAP proxy on a third host and migrate users a few at a time (see attached picture of

Hi, I cobbled together this somewhat shoddy Bash script to migrate email accounts from our Cyrus server to a new dovecot system. Feel free to use, or laugh at it as you wish :) #!/bin/bash ## # Migrate email accounts via IMAP from one server to another ## trap "kill 0" SIGINT workdir=/root/migrate # Load list of users into array. The file "migration_map" should contain

Hi! While performing a dsync from cyrus imap to dovecot 2.2.12, dsync seems to stop for perhaps a minute without disk / cpu / memory activity (that I can see). This happens several times per sync per user so it takes an enormous amount of time to sync just a couple of gigs of mail. dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u user at example.com imapc: What could possibly be the cause of

Hi! I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c). All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first (mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server. It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have

Hi, I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry: sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the sieve_dir directory. So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir directory

Hello. Is Dovecot able to create and/or read any sort of compressed mail archive? We have a large installation with a few users who need to keep a large amount of email available. With maildir this means a large number of individual files, leading to additional load on our backup process. Even using a compressed mbox file as an archive would help, but only if Dovecot is able to interact

Hi, I am doing a mass migration of users from Cyrus imap on a solaris server to dovecot 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu1 and am getting this weird issue with dsync if I try to do a "full" sync. Debug output below: dsync(user at example.com): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Save commit failed: Mailbox was deleted under us dsync(user at example.com): Debug: brain M: out box 'INBOX'

While migrating users from Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 to Dovecot 2.2.12 (compiled from source) dsync aborts with a backtrace on some (maybe 15 out of 800) mail accounts: (same error happens wiht or without -f flag) dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u user at domain imapc: <snip> dsync(user at domain.com): Debug: brain M: in state=sync_mails dsync(user at domain.com): Debug: brain M:

Hi! I am playing with dsync and trying to fix an issue I have mentioned in another thread (subject: "Re: [Dovecot] Dsync error: Couldn't drop privileges: getgrnam") and feel that dsync could use some additional informational output. It would be particularly helpful while experimenting with a migration if it could output a transfer summary and / or log separately. A summary

Hi! I am trying to use the static userdb with virtual users stored in ldap and the replicator plugin. What is the best way to implement this? I was not able to find documentation about it. Thanks!

Hi! Every time I run dsync for a user against an old Cyrus server, the users mailbox in Dovecot increases by several hundred MB, these are not new emails. So the first dsync run gets the whole mailbox and subsequent runs get a bunch of duplicates or what? doveadm purge clears them all out but why is dsync behaving like this? I didn't happen in previous versions (2.2.13)

Hi, running: dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -R -f -u user at domain imapc: Where "domain" is a cyrus imap server does not do what the documentation says it does, not even close. After the first run to an empty mailbox on the dovecot 2.2.13 server all the mails (1.1GB) seem to be correctly synced. I send a test email to the dovecot server and it shows up correctly. Second
