similar to: uw-imap and gnu-pop3d to dovecot transition/replacement

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

Currently running dovecot 0.99.12 on a RHEL 3 server. This system used to use UW imap with mbox mailboxes, is now using dovecot with Maildir. (Actual user shell logins are not permitted.) Performance is tremendously improved. However, we still have users that have their client imap root set to the "mail" or "mail/" directory. (Can't reach/change them all easily.)

Hi all, I've read so much information on this that I'm a little confused as to what to follow. Here's what's going on: We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little troubles with how to exactly populate

i plan to switch from uw-imap to dovecot on a couple of medium size systems and so i have written a conversion tool that understands mbox, mbx, and mix formats and converts to maildir format while trying to preserve uid info, keywords, flags, subscriptions, etc. it seems to work for me now, but i think some feedback might be useful. so if you have some files to convert and a desire to help,

I've just replaced our ancient (10-year old) mail server running Sendmail/UW-IMAP on Solaris with Postfix/Dovecot 2.1.10 running on Linux on new hardware. I opted to go with virtual users and I didn't want to create system accounts and I might end up hosting another department's mail as well. We have a mix of POP3 and IMAP users, roughly 90 total. The POP3 user mailboxes migrated

The more I read about all of this, the more I'm thinking about moving to maildir format. My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory. Some how, Horde/Imp seemed to keep track of it. Dovecot is not doing so well. I've been reading

Hello! In this email you can find a configuration primer for a Migration from UW IMAP with pine, Thunderbird and squirrelmail as client. For compatibility the mbox format is used. A description for pine with imap acces without entering any password is also discussed. Please use dovecot 1.0beta1 or later for correct handling with pine. Short overview of Mail folders:

What port does Dovecot-Pop3d run on? 110? If so I can't get it to work "netstat -ltnp | grep ':110'" shows nothing. and dovecot-pop3d is installed.

Hi, My dovecot version : 2.2.22 Recently, i had issues on dovecot. All packages of dovecot were installed on my system then suddenly when I checked yesterday the packages for dovecot-pop3d and dovecot-imapd were no longer on the list of app installed. Because of this dovecot service stop running. I checked the apt history log, term log and even dpkg log, there were no information about

Then how this happened. Can you give me some pointers on how to trace this problem? Please advise.

Hello, I migrated qmail-pop3d and BincIMAP to Dovecot in the past, and I could always tweak the settings a little to match what old services used to provide, namely namespaces (separator /, prefix INBOX/) and pop3_uidl_format (%f). This time I'm migrating to a large mail system which has its configuration set differently and there's no changing it. pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it's treated as INBOX and mails are moved from /var/mail/%u

I am having a problem implementing iptables with Courier's pop3 daemon. If I disable iptables, everything works fine. As soon as I enable it, pop3 will stop working for messages over 32K. Small messages will go through with no problems, but large ones will time out. I get this message from OE: "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds." And an option to stop or continue

IMO

the problem is default ?protocols = imap pop3? packaging should use protocols = protocols = $protocols imap etc. or you could? ---Aki TuomiDovecot oy -------- Original message --------From: Markus Sch?nhaber <dovecot at list-post.mks-mail.de> Date: 02/03/2018 19:44 (GMT+02:00) To: dovecot at dovecot.org Subject: Debian: Dovecot 2.3.0.1 won't start if dovecot-pop3d is missing Hello,
