Hi, Any one give me some sample code with bwlimit option. what's is the std/ recommended value for this?

We've been putting 1.0 Beta 3 through the paces on our test system, and one of our users pointed out to me that Thunderbird's "labels" behave strangely on the new server. In fact, there used to be a header added to the message via IMAP when Thunderbird placed a label on a message, but as of the switch from 0.99.11 to 1.0beta3, this label header is no longer placed in the

Hi all, Has anyone got any advice on the best way to backup Exchange mailboxes (Exchange 5.5) running on a Windows 2000 server? We already use rsync on a number of other Windows boxes for general file backup. I've read that even if you get backups of the Exchange mailbox files, then it's really tricky to get the mailboxes back into Exchange if the server dies. Anyone got any tips on

Hi David, I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox. You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but in summary it went like this: - set Dovecot to grab the mail_location from user-settings (I think we used MySQL db field - or check docs for auto:) - have login

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

I'm sure it comes from my being a gormless idiot, but whatever is the -UKWS argument immediately after the mb2md.pl invocation? > $MB2MD -UKWS -s "$INBOX" -d "$WORKING" As always, reading the idiom of someone else's scripting is an education. And some of it wouldn't work with native AIX sh/ksh, so changed the functions: > folders_hash() { > local

Hello, I'm upgrading my mail server from UW to Dovecot and I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I've successfully convert myself and a few other users with the mb2md script. All is well. My question is, I have somewhere around 500 users and about 122gb of mail folders to convert (this does not include the inbox at /var/mail). mb2md needs to be run as each user to convert.

Wow excellent feedback Joseph, Philon and Aki, You have all pointed me in the right direction. Tonight I have tested Dovecot with just the minor configs I do for Dovecot setup and I have commented out the mbox/Maildir lines in 10-mail.conf from my testing: #mail_location = #mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I had run up some test files

I am running dovecot 0.99. Everything works great; however, now I am looking at several different tools to convert mbox to Maildir. It seems the tools, mb2md.pl, perfect_maildir.pl, and others all do what they claim; however, when the messages are converted and they are stored in Maildir/cur, the email clients download these messages as new. This typically wouldn't be a problem;

Hi, I'm trying to convert users from a sendmail server to a postfix/dovecot server. All works fine but one of the last things is to rescue the messages in /var/mail/<user> on the old server. This seems very straitforward using the convert plugin but with the settings from the wiki, nothing happens when the user logs in. Do I need a private namespace for this as suggested elsewhere

Hello, We're migrating from Ipswitch Imail to Dovecot. There seems to be a problem with Outlook after converting the emails with mb2md and whole bunch of perl scripts to correct all the idiotic mistakes that Imail has made. Outlook will display the date and time of the conversion as the date of the message, rather than using the Date: header. The same does not occur in Thunderbird or

I'm trying to download Julian Fitzell's scripts to convert mbox to Maildir format from the wiki page at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat But when I click on the links for the scripts it just sends me back to the same page rather than downloading the scripts. The links in question are http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mb2md.tgz

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: i) I don't have too

Hi folks, I've got a few thousand accounts that I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I'm looking at using convert-tool from the command line to do this, but I'm uncertain about the command line syntax, so I hope someone can take a moment to go over this with me. I'm running dovecot 1.1.6 on this system. Mail accounts are not tied to UNIX system accounts, I'm

Hi, Let me start with wishing you all the best for this new year, and I hope we'll see a lot of new features and not so much new bugs ;-) I'm trying to convert a number of PSTs to maildir. Just plain drag&drop in Outlook doesn't work (gives a very cryptic error message in a certain folder, but that folder is perfectly all right), and using the import option also barfs when

Is there some way that message uids can be preserved when converting uw-pop3 mbox mail to dovecot maildir format? We've tried perfect_maildir, mb2md and the convert-tool that comes with dovecot but so far have been unable to preserve the message uids, which for example go from 44333a8500000003 before the conversion to 4434621500000003 afterwards. The quantity of mailboxes involved means

Hi We have been running a dovecot server for some time.. users connect with pop. Now this server is going to be substituted with a new one.. before we used mbox, but now we will move to maildir! I have done some testing transfering the mail with the mb2md script, the conversion works correctly, but users gets duplicates since they selected "keep mail on server" I have googled for the

Hello. I am currently testing dovecot (0.99.10.8, Debian woody from backports), with the maildir storage. I have noticed that when I use the mailutil tool from uw-imap distribution to transfer my IMAP mailboxes from our current server (uw-imap, mbx format) to the dovecot one, the mails arrival time are apparently lost. I can see this in Pine, using the Arrival sort: the mailboxes on the
