did the conversion and something broke
figures. Converted over to maildir today. Procmail is a piece of cake
once I managed to pride out of its cold dead fingers the essential tiny
bit of documentation I needed. But I'm having a problem with my nested
directories. I have a directory called incoming sort my incoming mail.
The conversion utility created a bunch of files called incoming.<stuff>
and 1 file is visible

more transitional joys
well, now that I have moved to dovecot, I'm not getting any spam... in fact, I'm
not getting e-mail at all.

when I first tried to access my inbox, I was told I had permission problems:

Maildir and Mail at the same time.
I am trying to use Maildir format for My inbox and be
able to save the messages in ~/Mail. Problem is
dovecot only show the Maildir mailboxes not the ~/Mail
formatted boxes.
How can I get this to work? If I use namespace or
something how would this be configured I cannot find
much documentation that explains it well enough.
example:
what would I have to configure in dovecot.conf or

couple questions about supported UPSes and politics of purchase
a customer of mine needs a UPS capable of supporting a small server in his
office. Obviously, nut is a good thing for him for clean shutdown etc.
especially with the crappy quality power in his office condo.
I wanted to purchase an MGE UPS but it looks like they purchased APC and are now
flogging that product line. Now, I've never been happy with APC. I have an APC

stock dovecot 99.10
for a variety of reasons, I decided to cut over to dovecot this morning. I
extracted all of my mailboxes from mbx purgatory back to mbox purgatory, set up
dovecot and proceed to get authentication failures. (am using simple password
based authentication either direct or through pam)
I turned authentication verbosity on and got:

choosing a UPS (in the United States)
I do a bunch of "kindness of strangers" hosting in my basement and my
three kVA apc unit died recently. In looking around, it looked like
Belkin was a reasonable low-end replacement for a few machines. Then I
read this mailing list after I purchased one and was gifted another. It
looks like people don't like Belkin. ;-)
So the question is what's a good UPS for running

mbox to maildir batch conversion
Hello,
I'm upgrading my mail server from UW to Dovecot and I'd like to convert
from mbox to maildir. I've successfully convert myself and a few other
users with the mb2md script. All is well.
My question is, I have somewhere around 500 users and about 122gb of
mail folders to convert (this does not include the inbox at /var/mail).
mb2md needs to be run as each user to convert.

looking for Windows rsync without cygwin
wondering if anyone has built a native port yet. It looks like I may have to go
through eliminate delta copy from a half a dozen machines because of transfer
lockups. Conversation on the rsnapshot list indicates that using cygwin may be
the source of my problems.
"""Yes, there's a well-known Cygwin hang bug that rsync seems to hit
especially often. IIRC, the problem is that

belkin Q:
I'm trying to set up a belkin f6c1100-unv UPS to work with nuts. From
reading the mailing list, it sounds like the belkinunv serial driver
should work and that the USB driver is potentially troublesome. Is this
a correct impression?
Also I may have missed this but if I do go with the serial (or USB port)
is there any simple command line method for verifying basic
connectivity? The

Naturally speaking under wine help needed
[[apologies if this is a dupe. gmane is a bit odd sometimes]]
I need some help on a handicap accessibility project. It's really great for
people like me that naturally speaking is working in wine (mostly). One
important shortcoming is getting our dictated text into linux. Today, in order
to copy text from the wine environment and place it in the Linux environment, we

batch convert mbox to maildir
Hello,
I have used mb2md for an individual user like this:
su ~username
cd ~
./mb2md -m
This converted /var/spool/mail/username mbox to
/home/users/username/Maildir just as I expected.
To convert 100s of users the same way would be a chore (su as each user
for permissions, etc.).
Is there a way to batch process all /var/spool/mail/$USER to
/home/users/$USER/Maildir with the correct

observations about delays
I've tried two imap clients (mahogany and Mozilla) and they both have strange
delays and weird failures. As a reminder, I am using mbox format mailboxes on
the server and client side filtering of messages from the inbox.
In both cases when the client fetches messages from the inbox and starts
redistributing them, CPU utilization on the imap server goes to around 40
percent for Mozilla

MBOX to MAILDIR conversion
Thinking about going from mbox to maildir. Started with mbox way back
when but thinking about making the conversion. The main reason is that I
use rsync for backups and when these huge mailboxes are touched I have
to copy the whole thing. With maildir I only copy the files that change.
So - my questions is - what's the easiest way to make this happan. I
assume there are conversion

Converting mbox to Maildir, all prior read messages are downloaded as new
I am running dovecot 0.99. Everything works great; however, now I am
looking at several different tools to convert mbox to Maildir. It seems
the tools, mb2md.pl, perfect_maildir.pl, and others all do what they
claim; however, when the messages are converted and they are stored in
Maildir/cur, the email clients download these messages as new.
This typically wouldn't be a problem;

convert non-standard mbox to maildir
Hi,
Let me start with wishing you all the best for this new year, and I hope
we'll see a lot of new features and not so much new bugs ;-)
I'm trying to convert a number of PSTs to maildir. Just plain drag&drop in
Outlook doesn't work (gives a very cryptic error message in a certain
folder, but that folder is perfectly all right), and using the import

Errors on mbox to Maildir conversion
I have Julian Fitzell's migrateuser.sh script which uses mb2md-3.20.pl
to convert a mailbox in mbox format to Maildir.
I have set up a test user called "mailtest" which has mail as follows:
/var/mail/mailtest
/home/mailtest/mail/
Drafts
MoreStuff
Sent Items

After the conversion I want all this user's mail to be in

Switching from mailbox to maildir.. duplicates!
Hi
We have been running a dovecot server for some time.. users connect with
pop.
Now this server is going to be substituted with a new one.. before we
used mbox, but now we will move to maildir!
I have done some testing transfering the mail with the mb2md script, the
conversion works correctly, but users gets duplicates since they
selected "keep mail on server"

migration to maildir and arrival time
Hello.
I am currently testing dovecot (0.99.10.8, Debian woody from backports),
with the maildir storage.
I have noticed that when I use the mailutil tool from uw-imap
distribution to transfer my IMAP mailboxes from our current server
(uw-imap, mbx format) to the dovecot one, the mails arrival time are
apparently lost. I can see this in Pine, using the Arrival sort: the

dovecot rpms, .subscriptions file, mbox to maildir
Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few
questions:
1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not
sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very
well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching
to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because:
i) I don't have too
