Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

Hello We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions: - If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power outage / kernel crash, but

When doing a filesystem backup of an moderate sdbox mailstore (300GB) - are there any files that can be safely excluded from the backup?? Like *.log or *.backup?? Or are they all "vital" for recovery? I'm already excluding the sdbox/virtual folders as it looks like they get created and updated as needed. -- Daniel

Hi welcome I want to set some virtual users with sdbox mail_location so I return in password_query and user_query extra field mail which contains sdbox:/var/mail/example.com/user:INDEX=/var/mail_indexes/example.com/user:ALT=/var/mail_altstorage/example.com/user and then when i send email to user at example.com I see all sdbox dirs created but when i login with thunderbird IMAP - Maildir

I'm implementing sdbox. In conf.d/10-mail.conf, with "maildir:" mail_location = maildir:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/new/ With "sdbox:" mail_location = sdbox:/my_mailbox_path/%d/%n mail gets stored in /my_mailbox_path/%d/%n/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails. How do I get rid of the '/mailboxes/' and '/dbox-Mails/' path

Hey Aki, DIRNAME with empty value has no effect, just like with FULLDIRNAME. "~/sdbox" instead of "~/" doesn't change that..

I'm using dsync to synchronize emails on a laptop where wifi connectivity sometimes fails in the middle of a sync. I have a shell script that runs dsync, and here is one line of it including the output of dsync: + dsync -f -m realmail mirror /home/paulproteus/projects/ssh-attach/run ssh rose.makesad.us dsync dsync-local(paulproteus): Error: dbox

I'm considering to move my mails from maildir/mbox to mdbox. One of my doubts is: how can I restore my mails when something terrribly wrong happens. I understand that I should use doveadm import "backup_location" "mailbox" all. So I try to import with: doveadm -v import "sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/" "#Dbox/spamcop/reports" all #Dbox

Hello, I had to restore a mailserver from a backup to replace a system with problems that is still live. I did a 1:1 restore as far as possible from a backup, then rsynced the /var/vmail/ directory, where we have all the mailboxes, in sdbox format. So both directories should be the same. After syncing, I started dovecot. I can see the mails until to the point of the backup, but not the newer

OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that good at reading directions. Trying to use dsync. Getting this error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Currently using maildir. The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location =

Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :) I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead. I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util. My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access

Yes, latest git version. The logs show (as I read them) returned results - yet nothing shows in the client. The logs look the same (with different numbers) when querying "regular" folders - but results are shown in clients. -- Daniel On June 6, 2019 12:16:08 AM Joan Moreau <jom at grosjo.net> wrote: > Hi > Are you using the latest git version ? > WHich part exactly

Hi there, I was doing some testing on sdbox yesterday. Basically I did the following procedure: 1) Create new sdbox; deliver 2 messages into it (u.1, u.2) 2) Create a copy of the index file (no cache file created yet) 3) deliver another message to the mailbox (u.3) 4) copy back index file from stage (2) 5) deliver new mail Then the message delivered in stage 3 ie u.3 gets replaced with the

Hello Jack, yes, I imagine I'll have to do some work on tuning the block size on cephfs. Thanks for the advise. I knew that using mdbox, messages are not removed but I though that was true in sdbox too. Thanks again. We'll soon do benchmarks of sdbox vs mdbox over cephfs with bluestore backend. We'll have to do some some work on how to simulate user traffic, for writes and readings.

Hey to all, is it possible to get rid of the "dbox-Mails"-folder when using sdbox? Currently my folder structure looks like this (I hope the output from tree would be formatted well): /srv/mail/ ??? example.com ??? ??? user ??????? ??? dovecot-acl-list ??????? ??? dovecot-attributes ??????? ??? dovecot.list.index.log ??????? ??? dovecot.mailbox.log ??????? ???
