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, 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

Hello Gang, I am new to dovecot and the only reason (so far) I would like to use dovecot, and in production with 12k+ users, is the fact that it's supposed to be faster and less of a resource hog. Now, sometimes I am really good at reading the documentations but it sometimes happens that one overlooks something. I did read the migration notes three times! My users are in /etc/passwd and I

Helo all, I'm working on a migration from qmail+courier+maildrop to postfix +dovecot1.1+lda and today the logs has too many strange messages like this: Jun 12 10:51:22 mailserver03 dovecot: IMAP(xxxxl at xxxx.com.br): Broken file /data/services/dominios/xx.com.br/m/ma/mapel//Maildir/.Sent/dovecot-uidlist line 29: UID larger than next_uid (535 >= 535) Jun 12 10:51:26 mailserver03 dovecot:

Hi, guys. I've read the information in the Wiki about making dovecot's UID's match Courier's UID's in the POP3 server, so that a UIDL command on either server will return the same UID's for the same group of messages. However, what I've read doesn't match what I'm seeing in Courier. Courier appears to keep the UID numbers for messages that it uses for the POP3

Hi, About a week ago I upgraded our reasonably heavily loaded mail servers from a pretty recent courier version to dovecot-1.1rc10. IMAP performance on dovecot is amazing, however POP3 performance is worse than courier :-( I have uploaded some munin graphs taken today to http://linweb.atlas.pipex.net/dovecot/; the dovecot server is handling about 2000 pop logins/sec and 300 imap sessions (but

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],

Hi, I found a problem in the courier conversion script (courier-dovecot-migrate.pl). In some cases, it does not correctly preserve the order of POP3 UIDLs. Consider the following case, when courierpop3dsizelist contains: /2 9000 1327481629 AAA1:2,S 10000 21:1327481629 AAA2:2,S 10000 22:1327481629 AAA3:2,S 10000 23:1327481629 AAA4:2,S 10000 24:1327481629 AAA5:2,S 10000 25:1327481629 BBB11:2,S

Hi, We've got a client with a Blackberry that hass deleted his emails off his Blackberry device. The BES won't re-download the messages as it believes it has already downloaded them (apparently it matches on UID). Is there any way of resetting a folder (and messages in the folder) UID? I know in courier you used to be able to touch the directory. Thanks, Tom Clark

Ever since I've migraded from courier pop3 to dovecot pop3 I'm constantly getting complains from users that went over system quota for short while and then their pop3 client downloads all messages again. I never happened with courier pop3. I think that dovecot does not handle dovecot-uidlist file safely so it can withstand such situations. rsync and other similar programs always writes to

I apologise, because I'm sure this subject has been done to death, but I want to migrate from Courier to Dovecot. I think my main question is whether there's any reason I shouldn't just rsync the maildirs across from the old mail server to the new one? There aren't many clients using this server, so I don't care if clients have to redownload all their messages (in fact, I

We have migrated a mailsystem to postfix/dovecot, using the courier migrate script, and we have run into a problem with dovecot-uidlist. The messages are not listed in the correct order .. This is an example dovecot-uidlist -file: 1 1177585200 49 22 1179084774.P7191Q0M321163.webmail1,S=8245:2,S 24 1179377823.P15932Q0M835219.smtp1,S=3462:2,S 25 1179668346.P23942Q0M941365.webmail1,S=4820357:2,S 31

Hi there, I've just been experimenting with the latest courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and I notice that it favours keeping pop3 UIDL ordering rather than IMAP UID preservation. There is this comment (line 312): # POP3 clients may want to get POP3 UIDLs in the same order always. # Preserve the order even if it causes IMAP UIDs to change. Does anyone have details as to which

Hi all, I am in the process of migrating my Maildir IMAP server from courier-imap to dovecot. I am now at the point of converting my Maildirs into a format that dovecot understands (as per http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier). Problem: ------- #/usr/bin/perl courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --recursive Finding maildirs under . ./courierimapuiddb: OK No such file or directory at

It finally seems to be working. I've done some testing now and it seems to be working fine. If you have time, see if you can get it to break (especially with INDEX=memory or by manually modifying the maildir). The UIDs are kept in Courier-compatible dovecot-uidlist file (so "mv courierimapuiddb dovecot-uidlist" should work). The great thing about this code is that we never wait for

We are in the process of migrating away from Courier-IMAP/POP3 and Maildrop. I want to use Dovecot (LDA, IMAP, POP3). During my testing, it has worked great except for dotlocking on the dovecot-uidlist file. The problem: When a delivery is being made with deliver and a mail client has the mailbox open (Thunderbird in this case), neither Thunderbird or deliver can get a dotlock on the

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
