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'm trying to get the snarf plugin working with dovecot 2.0.7. Specifically, I want to use the UW-IMAP style optional snarfing. I'm looking at the wiki2 documentation. The first question is whether the UW-IMAP optional snarfing will require any changes to the mail_location. The first section suggests (but doesn't specifically state, which I'd propose be clarified) that

I've been using uw-imap for some time on my linux system and have been running into issues with it so I've decided to move to Dovecote, so far it seems to have solved the issues I've been having however I need/want to move the incoming emails out of /var/spool/mail/{user} in the same (or similar fashion) that uw-imap did, and I found the snarf plugin. However whenever I enable the

I've now upgraded dovecot from 2.0.21 to 2.1.10 and the good news is I no longer see dovecot crashing when loading the snarf plugin however snarf still does not do anything except make the inbox disappear. I've come to the conclusion that either snarf does not actually work, possible, but I doubt it, or more likely I have a configuration issue preventing it from working. The system is

Hello, I have used mb2md for an individual user like this: su ~username cd ~ ./mb2md -m This converted /var/spool/mail/username mbox to /home/users/username/Maildir just as I expected. To convert 100s of users the same way would be a chore (su as each user for permissions, etc.). Is there a way to batch process all /var/spool/mail/$USER to /home/users/$USER/Maildir with the correct

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see my messages in /var/spool/mail/ and moves them over fine.

Hello everyone, I tried to compile the mbox-snarf-plugin.c (downloaded today, so I assume it's the most recent version available) on AIX 5.3 with gcc 4.0. Building Dovecot 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 works fine.

Hi, I am having problems with Dovecot 1.0.3 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 when using a new user account without any mbox files present. Directory /home/$user/.imap_mail/ does not exist when Thunderbird first tries to login using IMAP to the account. On login this directory is created with a zero byte Trash file and .subscriptions containing string "Trash", so far, so good. Now I create a

Hello! Can anybody advise me nice and well-tested script for converting mbox to maildir format that saves all message flags ?

Josh, Macports on OSX ships with automake-1.10 and the current autogen.sh detects 1.10 as an invalid version of automake. The following patch (snarfed from autogen.sh from libvorbis) fixes that. Once that is fixed there are still some other issues that need fixing for automake-1.10. Cheers, Erik diff -u -r1.16 autogen.sh --- autogen.sh 21 Nov 2006 01:40:57 -0000 1.16 +++ autogen.sh 10

Hi, We are planning to use Dovecot-2.0.5 (Maildir format) as IMAP server. Currently, we are using Postfix+UW-Imap (mbox format) with the following configuration: - Postfix: Sends new messages to /var/mail/user - UW-IMAP: Reads mails from /var/mail/user and moves them to ~/nsmail/mbox Using that configuration, when a user overtakes his HOME?s quota, the MTA is still able to send new messages

Hi all, I'm new in using dovecot and I'm running in a problem, which I cannot solve without hours and hours of work. Maybe there is a solution, which I didn't find with old friend google :_) Here is the problem: We are using an old mailserver (it's running fine for 5 years) with qmail and the old uw-imap server. All users have their grown directories under a home/Maildir folder.

I haven't had yet time to read all the mails in this list which I skipped in the last few of weeks. I'll try to get to them eventually. This release contains several new features which haven't been fully tested yet, such as ACLs, master users and Maildir++ quota. If you intend to use them, test them properly first. This is the first Dovecot release where it's supposed to work

Hi, We are in the process of settings up a test server to help us test moving from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I didn't see any reference to the UW-IMAP .imaprc file, does Dovecot just ignore this file. cat .imaprc I accept the risk set mail-subdirectory mail Paul
