IMAP Folder paths
Hello,
we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the
folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like
this:
mail/read
mail/dovecot
.netscape/imap/mailbox
.Mail/foo
Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that
there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server...
Is there a way to use this

Oracle control file on OCFS2 without datavolume, nointr
We had someone from Oracle support move one of the database control files on
an OCFS2 volume that's not mounted with datavolume,nointr (he moved it
to /opt/oracle). At that time I didn't realize the problem.
We'll move the control file to a volume that's mounted with datavolume,nointr
options.
The question is: how bad is it?
We are experiencing some serious problems,

Subscription file
Background:
We are a UW-IMAP shop, using mbox format. (!)
We are in the process of upgrading to Dovecot, hopefully to 1.0 proper. :)
One of the modifications we have been using in test versions of Dovecot
involve the move of the user subscription file from:
IMAP-root/.subscriptions
to:
$HOME/.mailboxlist
Rather than having to make changes to Dovecot source code each time a new

Dovecot losing .mailboxlist files
Hello!
I am running a site that has two servers, 10 000 users in both, Solaris
9 and home directories with mbox mailboxes shared with NFS.
Indexes are kept separately in both server, on local disks, both servers
are serving imap (from NFS mboxes).
We are trying to convert from uw-imap to dovecot.
Servers are currently running on their limits and now i have mysterious

.mailboxlist -> .subscriptions
I've mostly finished a conversion from an old Centos 3 UW-Imap server to
a new Centos 6 dovecot server. I did not copy the old ~/.mailboxlist
file to ~/mail/.subscriptions file, but notice some users have the
latter file now. These are all mbox folders on the old and new server.
I'm getting ready to do the same to another old/new pair of servers and

Migrating from UW-IMAP
Greetings.
I've got a poorly conceived and implemented system I'm trying to migrate
off of. Right now we've got 20K accounts or so, in mbox form, under
UW-IMAP. Eventually we're going to move to Maildir format, but the
first step is to move to Dovecot on one of our imap servers as a proof
of concept. In other words, all config changes have to take place on

subscriptions vs mailboxlist
Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that
dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It
would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that.
BTW - I'm a new user and your software is very well designed.

Namespaces and subscriptions
I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from
UW-IMAP.
I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the
Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc.
hidden namespaces.
The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the
clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix.

upgrade from version 1.0.3 to version 1.0.7
Im working on upgrading to dovecot-1.0.7 from version 1.0.3 which I
installed using yum. I backed up my init.d stuff so everything still
works. However, when I shutdown my old dovecot version and start the
new, I get an empty mailbox when logging into mail. My current config
for dovecot.conf on version 1.0.3 has this for my mailbox

.mailboxlist location
Greetings.
On our 1.2.9 setup, we are finding that .mailboxlist (we recompiled to
use this name rather than .subscriptions) ends up in the user's ~/mail
folder. We'd like this file to be stored in ~/ instead. Is this
possible without changing namespaces (for UW compatibility) and/or
userdb mail location?
Thanks!

INBOX as mbox, other mailboxes as maildir
All,
I'm trying to teach dovecot to use the mbox format for /var/mail/%u
and maildir for /home/%u/Mail/ but I'm having quite a hard time. This
is Dovecot v1.0.beta3 under OpenBSD 3.9 on sparc64.
I've been fiddling with default_mail_env and also tried separate
namespaces, but all to no avail. Here's some of the things I tried :

maildir and /var/spool/mail/$USER
I was told to use dovecot because it was easier than cyrus. I just
upgraded from fc1 to fc3. I am not sure what fc1 used but I think it was
cyrus and it worked perfect out of the box no configurations to do. The
new cyrus-imapd is not so simple so I got dovecot. I see examples saying
to use mbox=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u but when I try that I
cannot map mail folders that reside

Using mail_chroot and default_mail_env
Settings for mail_chroot and default_mail_env are not playing well together.
It seems that default_mail_env is verified to exist *before* the chroot
but is later used *after* the chroot.
A configuration like this:
* mail_chroot = /var/mail/example.com/username
* default_mail_env = maildir:/Maildir
Fails with the message:
* stat(/Maildir) failed: No such file or directory

configuration problem: maildir folders and messages not found
Hi
Perhaps I've been going too far OT in my previous thread or perhaps I
just didn't explain my problem clear enough so forgive me for trying
again.
I have configured fetchmail to fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3-server.
I have set up procmail to filter messages and deliver all non-filtered
messages to the folder ".IN-catchall/" in "$HOME/Maildir"
