Hi all, I am migrating a maildir Courier-IMAP installation to Dovecot. Almost everything seems to work well, but I still have problems accessing subfolders. First let's see what I have done. I used the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script suggested in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier to convert mailboxes from Courier to Dovecot. No problems here. My dovecot.conf contains this: (...)

Hello, I am trying to convert a maildir that was managed by courier-imap up to now to dovecot. I am using the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script as follows: courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --convert --recursive ~/Maildir However, this command only seems to convert the base maildir, but not all the subfolders. I thought that that's what the --recursive option was for. Is the command above

[ I'm posting this again since I wasn't subscribed to the list when I first posted. I'm sorry if this gets posted twice] I was considering replacing Courier-IMAP with dovecot in the future, but have some concerns. I realize that some things simply haven't been finished yet like quotas, but some other things may prevent me from using dovecot as a drop in replacement in the

Hi, I have around 100 mailboxes (maildirs) to convert from Courier IMAP (4.1.3) to Dovecot. (From a recent backup) I've tested a few mailboxes on Dovecot 1.0.0, and while the client doesn't notice any difference (at least in Thunderbird) I'm hoping to get rid of the old Courier folders and convert any useful information they may have into Dovecot. I've tried Timo's

Hi! I'm currently trying to migrate from courier-imapd to dovecot... Unfortunately I'm experiences some difficulties here... Since I don't want any user to notice the change of the server backend I've tried changing the namespace in dovecot.conf to namespace private { separator = . location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes

Hello all, Currently we are looking at the possibility of moving from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot (the one that comes with Debian Lenny: version 1.0.15). I'm currently testing it on a non-production server and have a few questions: 1) Currently all our clients use Thunderbird as their mail client to read mail from our IMAP server. Thunderbird is configured with "INBOX." as the

Hi, I'm migrating from Courier-Imap to Dovecot-Imapd and I have some problems.. I don't want to change the IMAP folders, so I wish to have Dovecot's compatibility with Courier's IMAP folders. In the Dovecot configuration I configured this: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Dovecot correctly shows me the INBOX folder, but doesn't show me the

I have a mail server running Debian 6.0 with Courier IMAP to store project related mail. Currently the maildir of the archive (one user) contains about 37GB of data. Our staff is acessing the archive via Outlook 2007 where they drag their Exchange inbox or sent files to it. The problem with courier is that is sometimes mixes up headers with message bodies, so I wanted to migrate to dovecot. I

Hi, using ACL plugin with dovecot 1.1.1 I expected that a Maildir was listed as * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" "Foldername" if "create" (k) permission is not set in ACLs and there doesn't exists any subfolders. But to my surprise, dovecot gives the following output: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Foldername" Therefore the client (here:

I currently run postfix and courier on my mail servers with squirrelmail. The problem with courier is it seems to run so slow. The webmail takes forever to load if you have many mails. I have this set up in virtual domains with all longin and path info in an mysql database. I just joined the list and DID google before asking, hope this isn't a common question. With courier it looks for a

Heylas, I just switched my primary mail server from courier imap to dovecot (I've been waiting to do this; dovecot showed up in debian testing for alpha, at last). So, using the same set of maildirs, there are slightly different behaviors. First, of course, dovecot displays the hierarchy as I thought it ought to be, such that INBOX is a sibling of all other top-level boxes, not the parent

Hello. I apologize if there is a simple answer to this question, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Our people use various clients (pine 4.50 with maildir patch, eudora, messenger, outlook, squirrelmail), and all of them work with courier-imap. But I've become very interested in dovecot after reading about it, so I'm trying it out on another server. The results are mixed.

I have a quite old home server based on Debian 6.x packages using courier imap server (exim4, fetchmail, courier, apache2, squirrelmail) to keep my and my wife emails (about 25G). I want renew my server to Debian 10 (buster) and got a recommendation to use dovecot instead of courier. For this purpose I'm using a different PC as a sandbox. Debian 10 currently offer dovecot version 2.3.4.1

Hi all, after each startup of my different mail clients (thunderbird, outlook, ...) the contents of subfolders if I click in has to be renewed. This takes some time for large folders. I just migrated from courier. And there all subfolders were available immediately. Is there something to configure? Another effect regarding subfolders is that the client forgets, which subfolders were opened

I'm trying to migrate from qmail to postfix. The original server is combo of qmail and Courier imap (no pop mailboxes) I have a working Postfix config and had imap working with Courier imap on the new server. I thought I would experiment with Dovecot as it has some good press. I have moved the contents of my original maildir's to the new server and ste permissions and group membership

Hi, I'm a new dovecot user. We've actually just migrated our email system from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot (2.0 rc5) cause we were choking on IO and resources, and dovecot's cache and indexing really seems to help, not to mention the awesome amount of options, tweaks, and extra features, so far, I'm lovin' it. However, we're having a few issues with Thunderbird and I

I've recently switched from Courier-imap to dovecot and I'm impressed with it's speed and reliability. However, my index file gets regularly corrupted: Feb 8 21:23:16 hive imap(hart): Corrupted index file /home/hart/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index: index.next_uid (129) > uid_rec.uid (128) dovecot version: 0.99.13-3 Debian sid) I use dovecot in combination with mutt, procmail and

hi guys, I hope it's common trouble, but I'm not able to find a solution: - i'am using courier imap and trying to migrate to the dovecot - on courier I have all folders as subfolder of Inbox - i.e. Inbox.Sent but on dovecot the folder Sent is not subfolder of Inbox, but its on the same level. Please is there some possibility to have the subfolders the same behaviour as in courier?
