Hello, I have some (possibly very simple) questions about subscriptions: I store my old mails in /home/oldmails/ in one Maildir where I have only read-only permissions (I cannot delete, create or modify any files). Under thunderbird, I can successfully log in and read my new mails, but I cannot subscribe (?) within thunderbird to oldmails (it is grey not black as other folders). What did I do wrong? Wha...

Hello, I'm now dealing with funny problem. I try to use Dovecot (2.1.rc1, actually) and mbox format to store old mailing, to keep logic of "one folder = one file". If I'd choose Maildir, I'd be able to create hierarchical folders (like "OldMail -> Maillists -> Dovecot"), and in fact on disk such a folders would be stored as real folders with dots in their names. In PHP it is easy to create with "imap_createmailbox()" function, I'd simple fire it 3 times (for "OldMail", for "OldMail.Maillists&quot...

Hello All, I have been still struggling with the read only maildir and I think I found something: dovecot wants to rename a file but I/it have/has no rights to do that: dovecot: 2007-05-04 21:30:14 Error: IMAP(bela): rename(/home/store/oldmails/.personal/cur/1154939281.00005.pc1.S=1879:2,S, /home/store/oldmails/.personal/new/1178307014.P8610Q0M347618.pc1) failed: Permission denied Why dovecot wants to rename it? It is really a read only directory. Regards, A. ______________________________________________ 2600 ?ll?sb?l Te is tal?lsz...

...s. That way I will have less to backup after I backup that old mail and store it safely away. I can't convince my users to really clean up their mailboxes, so I backup more than 100GB mail while the total backup is a bit more than 300GB. Writing this I realise I could give each user a folder oldmail and symlink that to a read-only oldmail folder. Would this work ? I will have to find out how my backup-software can ignore the oldmail-folder. Thanks for any suggestions, Koenraad Lelong

...1.7 on wheezy), and I have a question about mail migration. Our 'old' imap mailserver will remain available, and has the same usernames/passwords as our future dovecot mailserver. The question: Is there an easy way to make the old mailboxes available under a subfolder (for example 'oldmail') in the mailboxes on the new mailserver? A bit like mounting an old homedirectory under an 'oldfiles' directory on a new fileserver. This way our users could access/migrate whatever folders they choose themselves, and we would not have migrate all messages to dovecot using script...

Hi, If this is a redundant post I apologize.

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

...one (maildir based), both are version 2.0.13. I'm using dsync: oldserver# dsync -u username backup ssh root at newserver dsync -u username Everything is working like a charm but when it tries to convert compressed folder I got an error: dsync-local(username): Error: Failed to sync mailbox OldMails/2008.gz: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file. Both old and new installations support compressed folder via zlib plugin. If I'm not wrong dsync doesn't support compressed folder, does it? And, if so, are there any chances to have dsync support gzip'ed folders in the (near) future?...

Hi all: I am new to e-mail servers and I am evaluating Dovecot. Not really the best combination. 8-) I am trying to find a balance between legal data retention requirements and online mailbox size. I do not want huge online mailboxes, as doing offline, rotating data backups could then take forever (among other reasons). I would rather avoid online (cloud) backups (data protection etc.). If I

Hello, How should I remove a mailbox from a dovecot cluster? I have two dovecot in a cluster. I tried to remove one user's mailbox with theses commands I found with a little google search: doveadm flags add -u user at domain.tld "\\Deleted" ALL doveadm expunge -u user at domain.tld mailbox "*" DELETED doveadm purge -u user at domain.tld rm -fr

I'm running beta7 on two machines, with maildir on NFS. I have lockd running on all machines. I've found that Dovecot is highly unstable with NFS when accessing a mailbox on more than one machine at the same time. Both dovecot machines have: mmap_disable = yes lock_method = fcntl NFS is version 3, exported from a third linux machine. All machines are running 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas
