I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert. If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in

Hi folks. Here's our situation: Migrating from UW-IMAP. Have lots (as in, tens of thousands) of clients set up using '~/mail' as the IMAP root, and using subscriptions. Dovecot mail_location is using '~' for mbox storage. We've disabled full filesystem access in Dovecot in order to use ACLs for shared folders. Hence we have a hidden namespace for backwards

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, i try to use a new namespace with mbox parallel to my working maildir configuration. With this i have a few interesting effects: - - dovecot doesn't use the CONTROL statement and generate a .subscriptions file at the namespace directory. The INDEX statement is used. - - dovecot can work with subdirectories even mbox is used - - I

http://dovecot.org/test/ I've been running this for two hours now without problems. I guess it's pretty stable. - Keyword support finally included. Not too well tested, but I couldn't get it to break. Doesn't store the keywords into maildir/mbox yet. Hopefully soon. - Major reorganization of code in dovecot-auth, and not yet finished. Load balancing between multiple auth

OK, I really should release 0.99.8 final soon, but not just yet :) Mostly just documentation updates left I think. There's a few recent changes that might have some nasty bugs: - problems with copying messages from mbox to another should be fixed now - LIST and subscription handling rewritten. - "mail_read_mmaped = no" used to corrupt mboxes when expunging messages. It now enabled

Dear list, dovecot version: 2.1.7 I have an old mail server that uses mboxes for the INBOX and maildirs for subfolders. I want to migrate our mail handling to a new setup using mdboxes for everything. The current config looks like this: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1127) # OS: Linux

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 problems with

To all, I am using dovecot --version 1.0.10 and trying to convert MBOXes to MailDir's with the end goal of creating one folder filled with users old MBOXes that when they log in for the first time will be converted to Mail Dir format. I tried this and it did not work and gave me this output; <snip> default_mail_env = maildir:%h/mail/ #convert_mail =

I have some archived mails in compressed (by bzip2) mboxes and I would like to read them via imap Unfortunately it looks like dovecot crashes when tries to read them :( #v+ kjonca at alfa:~/Mail/Old/Junk%sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot -n [sudo] password for kjonca: # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.7+2 i686 Debian squeeze/sid log_path: /var/log/dovecot

Hi Timo, dovecot 1.2.0 is great! Faster and more stable on mboxes that 1.1.x by far... good job :-) Today I stumbled over a strange problem when I tried to subscribe an existing Mailbox (mbox), which doesn't work.

Hi we run dovecot on sun solaris 9. I try to switch from dovecot 0.99.11 to dovecot 1.0, with ssl support turned on. The user's mail are stored in mbox format in Mail in their home dirs. I was not able to get the subscrition working properly with the new dovecot. New means: 1.0beta2 and now also 1.0.RC1 (beta9) The client mailreaders are mainly thunderbird 1.0x and 1.5.x, Netscape Messenger,

Maybe it's fixed, but the last "interesting" text in the Changelog was before 2.1.6. Most of our users still have mboxes in the classical layout, so you can't have subfolders and messages in the same folder, *except for the INBOX*, as it is physically separate. Someone complained that he saw subfolders in roundcube he couldn't delete, because they didn't show up in the

Hi, On the weekend I tried to upgrade from RC7 to RC10. Clearly, I have to change some things before I can do this. What does it take to get to RC10? As is, my mail client got an error trying to list messages in /INBOX (via IMAP) and the mail.err log shows the following messages: Oct 29 10:27:32 siona dovecot: IMAP(archangel): open(/var/mail/archangel/inbox, O_CREAT) failed: Not a

I've just converted from an old Centos 3 box to a Centos 6.2 box. I've switched from UW-imap to dovecot in the process. In my configurations, I've placed the multiple namespace sections as suggested by the "Backward compatability" part of the wiki. I use mbox since I mostly copied the home directories from the old to the new server. On some of the clients, it appears

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 I'm wondering if there is an

http://dovecot.org/test/ Again only mbox fixes. I found some more bugs which could have also caused some of the mbox problems that people reported. They were found when I today thought I'd again do a bit of testing with my favourite 1.4GB mbox. Then I thought I might as well see how it compares against UW-IMAP. First a bit of explanations how they work internally: Dovecot 1.0-test24

I just upgraded my RH9 server with UW-IMAP to Fedora Core 2 and after a short try with Cyrus, I'm hoping to get Dovecot configured. My problem is getting Dovecot to recognize my old mbox mail folders. It correctly shows the INBOX contents from the /var/spool/mail/davis mbox. However, I also had a bunch of mboxes such as: /home/davis/Mail/Sent /home/davis/Mail/Lists/list1 Reading the

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 the dovecot

Hello, I found this in the logs of a Dovecot v1.0-test29 test server (OpenBSD 2.9, as mentioned in a previous email): Jul 24 05:37:47 myhostname dovecot: IMAP(username): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/username/.mailbox (235 > 234) Jul 24 05:37:52 myhostname dovecot: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 357 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed:

Hi, I am really stuck here. I am trying to setup imap for an external mail server. I have a freebsd server running sendmail / dovecot. I am transfering the existing mail from an exchange 2003 server to the mailserver using imapsync. This works fine, but gives errors when it tries to make a submap, also thunderbird gives an error "Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes" when I try
