Hello again, I'd like to know if there is a way to have subfolders in virtual mailbox? In my virtual namespaces, I have some virtual maiboxes named like this : Mailbox Mailbox.SubMailbox (the separator is '.') But when I try to access the submailbox, depending on my client, it either : - Tells me the mailbox doesn't exists (Roundcube) - Don't show me any error, but don't display any mail in the mailbox (Apple Mail.app) So I'd like to know if...

...incoming messages (as I understand it) is: 1) received by Postfix; handed off to Amavisd-new 2) Amavisd-new checks to see whether or not it's spam/undesirable; hands off to Dovecot deliver 3) Dovecot deliver delivers the message to the local mailbox Under each of my user's mailbox is a submailbox called "spam". Just so I don't confuse terminologies (I'm no IMAP/maildir expert), for example, we have someone at domain.com. My configured mail_location is "maildir:/srv/mail/%d/%n", so this person's mailbox is located here: / srv/mail/domain.com/someone/...

...er since the upgrade to 1.1.0, I noticed that "plus addressing" has failed. In case I'm using a foreign phrase, this is the concept of sending an e-mail to "user+spam at domain.com", and having dovecot (dovecot LDA, specifically), deliver this to the "spam" submailbox to "user at domain.com". I've been using this successfully since 1.0.3. When I upgraded to 1.1.0, I noticed that e-mails were no longer being delivered to the submailboxes as they had been (though they would arrive in the central INBOX). I checked the "dovecot-deliver.log&...

We had a user quit recently. Three days ago I copied his entire Maildir folder to another user to that user's Maildir/.JoesEmail. I changed ownership and made the permission 'chmod -R og-rwx .', just like all the other files/directories of the new owner. This didn't work to show the new folder. Today, in his Thunderbird client, I subscribed to the 'JoesEmail' folder. I

If this means that you have: Maildir/.JoesEmail/{new,cur,tmp} Maildir/.JoesEmail/.mailbox/{new,cur,tmp} Maildir/.JoesEmail/.mailbox.submailbox/{new,cur,tmp} now, that will clash with the standard Maildir format: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir You would need to move the subfolders with a leading dot of .JoesEmail into: Maildir/.JoesEmail/{new,cur,tmp} Maildir/.JoesEmail.mailbox/{new,cur,tmp} Maildir/.JoesEmail.mailbox...

Is it possible to mix maildir and mbox formats with dovecot? For example, I would like ~/mail to be in maildir format yet keep the inbox (/var/mail/%u) in mbox format. If so, how may I go about this? Or am I stuck not being able to create subdirectories in ~/mail? Cheers, Shane

...ution. Here I go; We use a lot of TB clients (2.x and 3.x), and we are using Dovecot 1.2.4 on our production server (mbox format). As told in many places, including this list, I added the option "tb-extra-mailbox-sep" in my dovecot.conf file. The checkbox regarding the mix of mailbox/submailbox and mailbox/messages is unchecked in the advanced options of our TB standard config. I snooped the connection with "ngrep" when creating a folder meant for containing subfolders. Here is the trace: > 6 create "ABCDE/".. < 6 OK Create completed... > 7 subscribe &...

Hi, I have dovecot (2.2.16, see dovecot -n at end) installed to /opt on CentOS 6 for access on a local network. I would like to create an archival mail account which will reduce the primary account file size and still make older emails easily accessible. How can I set specified folders in this Maildir read-only with ACL? For example, I included this in the dovecot-acl file to specify

Hi there, RFC 5258 (IMAP4 LIST command extensions) defines a ?RECURSIVEMATCH? selection option which ?forces the server to return information about parent mailboxes that don't match other selection options, but have some submailboxes that do.? (Section 3.5 makes the requirement even clearer.) However that's not what Dovecot 2.3.7 does. AFAICT no LIST response is returned for mailboxes that don't meet the selection criteria, regardless of whether they have a child that does. The violation is visible when reproducin...

Hi all. Currently I am administering a mail cluster in which messages are stored on software RAID shared with NFS. There are several NFS servers, every one of them exports a part of all mail files for a specific frontend with postfix. We are thinking about replacing these storage hosts with one solution, maybe a storage array with appropriate disk space and I/O capacity. What are pros and cons

...ay ":". Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar." It says some other stupid things too though that nobody seems to actually follow, and I've never actually seen anything but a '.' used as the delimiter... The same is true in IMAPdir: "As with Maildir++, submailboxes can not be represented in a recursive fashion in the file system. The mailbox' representation name will contain the soft hierarchy delimiter character dot '.', and all mailboxes must reside in the same root level directory." I don't understand the reasoning behind av...

We have the same problem, with a twist. When Thunderbird deletes a folder, it is still shown by the GUI. Dovecot deleted the folder correctly, and the sunscriptions file is also correct. Some other times, on shared folders, Thunderbird refuses to delete; in this case, apple mail on iphone can delete successfully. This suggests that the problem is in Thunderbird's code.
