Hi, I'm testing migration from courier to courier-0.57.0 to dovecot-imap-1.1.12 on a debian/sid box. When running the migration script, non of the active users' "courierimapsubscribed" and "courierimapuiddb" files seem to be detected: ZENON:~# ./courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --to-dovecot --recursive /home Testing conversion to Dovecot format Finding maildirs under

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1],

Dear friends, My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jun 18 16:38 . drwx------

Hi, Currently we support Courier POP and IMAP for all our users (users can use IMAP as well as POP at the same time). We are thinking about moving to Dovecot; but first moving away from Courier IMAP to Dovecot IMAP (and maybe later also move to Dovecot POP). This would create a mixed environment; after some research I have the following questions. To not break POP3 Courier and still be

Last night we migrated from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot 1.2RC5 and all seems to work fairly well, but I seem to have lost all my mailboxes apart from INBOX.

Hello Everyone, I am playing with the $subject matter using 1.0alpha4, and thanks to the archives, I lifted this one from Alexander Shikoff off and used it in my setup. auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root passdb pam { args = pop3 } passdb sql { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf }

Hello people, I have been experiencing a weird problem with 4.8-STABLE for a long time. I was ignoring it, thinking that it was a problem with the SCSI disks or perhaps the contoller. I changed the disks from the original Intel box to a Compaq box and I still noticed the problem was there. What happened is that all of a sudden, the disk would 'fill' up with nothing! Yes, that's true.

Hi people, I am trying to migrate some users from tpop3d (Maildir mailboxes) to dovecot. The most important aspect of this migration, and which I cannot seem to get right, is to first be able to make dovecot to authenticate against the current DB being used by tpop3d so that I can use imapsync to transfer the user mails. And I do believe that is what I am unable to get right!! So here goes what

Here is my first major problem with dovecot. I am running rc15 on FreeBSD 6.1. I run dovecot supervised by DJB's daemontools. I run only the pop3 service. A colleague informed me that pop3 service was simply not responding. They could not rcv mail. When I checked the server, tail-ing dovecot.log, here is what was scrolling: [wash at nbi ~]$ tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log dovecot: Nov 23

It would be great to have a HOWTO in the wiki, on how to restrict services by username in dovecot, so some users are allowed IMAP and others not allowed. As concerns restricting users by IP, I believe that is a bad idea. It's almost a useless idea, imnsho, because they can connect from another IP. It's easy to restrict services by IP using a firewall or by using inetd. -Wash

I am configuring dovecot 1.0rc7 to authenticate users (system users) in /etc/passwd. Is it possible to use a different auth mechanism, other than "plain", when the encrypted password is in /etc/master.passwd (BSD style)? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php --

The FreeBSD 4.x (4.8-STABLE) has contributed sources for BZIP2 in the base system under /usr/src/contrib/bzip2. My problem is that I am not succeeding in building these sources for some strange reason. Some apps that I run would do well if I could get to install these success- fully. If there is anyone has succeeded, I'd highly appreciate the steps they went through to get bzip2 to build.

Howdy, I've just migrated a couple of servers to Dovecot, and am loving it so far. I thought I'd share the courier2dovecot shell script I whipped together (based on the instructions I found in the wiki.dovecot.org migration how-to), for converting Courier-IMAP maildirs to Dovecot format. It can be downloaded from my home page: http://bendiken.net/scripts/ While the script is rather

Hi all. I am currently gathering information about migration of Maildir/ structures from Courier to Dovecot. What do you think about http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier ?
