similar to: mbox problems

This is a major cleanup release. My near future goal is to make it impossible to crash Dovecot no matter what you did. This release also adds support for files larger than 2GB with Linux and Solaris. Also mbox support seems to work quite well now, except EXPUNGE and STORE are still not implemented. The "impossible to crash" should already be quite true, at least when it comes to index

I have trouble to get my INBOX-mbox to work properly. I have set the default_mail_env, to this.. "default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u" Since my users are using thier home-dirs to store folders and old mails, and recieving them in /var/mail/username. But when logging in i get this.. Sep 9 12:25:23 angelica imap-login: Login: username [217.151.192.103] Sep 9

Help! I just noticed this error this morning, we have been getting a lot of these in rc28 and rc29, not in rc27 or before: Apr 6 07:22:52 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): mbox file /var/mail/j/jaearick was modified while we were syncing, check your locking settings Pine coughed up an internal error, no core dump, and dovecot basically doubled the size of my mailbox by

Since release candidate I added fix for CRLF + partial BODY[] fetching.

I've been doing some stress testing in the last few days and fixing all the errors I saw. I'm hoping that I've finally really fixed all the index/mbox problems. So, again I think the only thing left for v1.0 is the documentation. Please test this nightly snapshot before I'll release rc27 tomorrow: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz If you've seen any of the

It's primarily for debugging, and I don't see it being used in a high volume environment. What triggered the thought is that I suspect I may have lost the bodies of a couple of messages during an expunge, but because I don't have the previous state of the mbox file, I have no way of verifying my concern, and certainly no way to try and recreate it. And yes, I'm using mbox files,

Hmm, this is peculiar! This mailbox has been unchanged on my test server since September. I've been using it to test each new version of Dovecot just after I've compiled it. When beta1 was released, I opened this mbox with no problems. However, when I upgraded to beta2, I got "file size unexpectedly shrinked in mbox file /export/mail/a/24/vis99003/INBOX (16895967 vs 16899267)".

mbox messages gets header corruption caused by an extra linefeed after Content-Length Users sees their mails in Sent mbox folder without the from and to fields, without attachments and with the date of 1/1/1970 Diego. --- Here is an anonymized header: >From xxxxxxxx at xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx Tue Jun 03 09:14:33 2008 Message-ID: <xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx at xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx> X-UID: 3913

Getting "Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file" on 1.2rc2 after transferring mail from an ancient 0.99.13 system. The first line of the file looks ok. Curiously, it's one of my archival folders of this list.

I finally migrated my mails from mbox format to mdbox format using dsync: 1. Stop dovecot, wait a few seconds for processes to die 2. dsync convert mdbox:~/mdbox 3. Change mail_location to mdbox:~/mdbox 4. Check that no new mails arrived during conversion (alternatively I could have just run dsync again, but I decided not to test my luck) 5. Start dovecot After fixing a pretty bad bug in dsync

Hello, we're having some problems with our dovecot setup. I've seen similar problems in the mailing list some years ago but alas wasn't able to find a solution. Our setup is as follows : An MX farm (postfix) sends mails via LMTP to a director farm (dovecot 2.1.12) which proxies pop3/imap/lmtp traffic to a dovecot farm (dovecot 2.1.16). All mailboxes and indexes are on NFS and all

Dovecot will soon have a plugin which allows running a nightly cronjob to expunge mails from configured mailboxes which have been in there for a configurable amount of time. For example the configuration could be: plugin { # Trash 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 } It also supports using Dovecot's lib-dict to keep track of the mailboxes and their oldest mail's timestamp, so that

Hi. I recently mentioned in several posts, that I'd tended to use mbox rather than maildir, because you don't loose so much space (due to always allocating full blocks per maildir file and thus per mail). I made some tests of my archive, which consists of some 3,4 million mails at a total of 42GB). Most of these mails are probably normal sized, but there are also some with bigger
