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.

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

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

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

Question re: .mailboxlist to .subscriptions migration
Hello. I'm in the final stages of installing Dovecot on a new server,
and then will be migrating user mailboxes from an older server that was
using UW-IMAP. I realize that I will have to rename the ".mailboxlist"
file to ".subscriptions".
But, I have a question about the "mail/" directory part that appears for
most mailboxes in each users .mailboxlist file:

.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
I'm wondering if there is an

I migrated from UW IMAP, copied ~/.mailboxlist to ~/mail/.subscritions
When I access SquirrelMail, is sees the folders on the left side.
If I modifiy my folder subscription, they dissappear all but INBOX,
and the .subscriptions file gets deleted.
What am I missing.
Thanks

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.

dovecot rpms, .subscriptions file, mbox to maildir
Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few
questions:
1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not
sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very
well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching
to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because:

UW-IMAP to Dovecot conversion - How to migrate the folders?
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

.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!

uw-imap to dovecot conversion tool
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,

folder subscriptions
Hi,
I've got a lot of users using uw-imapd(yah, yah, I know)
I'd like to get them off of that and onto dovecot at some point in the
indeterminate future.
so excluding bizarre path resolution things that uw-imapd has left
around. is it more or less cp ~/mailboxlist ~/mail/subscriptions?
It looks like that - but I wanted to verify :)
thanks

Multiple namespaces seems to be used at the same time
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

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

Migrating subscription lists
I thought this would be relatively straightforward....I would create
.subscriptions by doing an ls -1 of ~/mail.
I'm running into some problems.
1) the ~/mail directories haves directories in them for 5% of the
accounts! AFAIK, our mail sevice has always been UWIMAP with mbox
format INBOXes, and it was my understanding that the mbox format is flat
and NOT hierarchical and thus I'd

Setting IMAP root as user's home directory. How?
I'm trying to set up dovecot to use /home/username as IMAP root, but it
keeps creating /home/username/mail. I need /home/username in order to
migrate with the least changes from uw-imap, just by copying
.mailboxlist without the INBOX line in it into .subscriptions
I tried each of these, one at a time:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Authentication and the wrong mailbox?
I just migrated from UW-imap to dovecot last night. After some tweaking
of the dovecot.conf file, disabling xinetd's entries, firing up the
dovecot daemon, and copying the .mailboxlist to .subscriptions for all
users, things looked to be going just fine!
I received a call this morning from a user stating that they had all of
*my* emails in *their* inbox! They don't know when it
