Moving Maildir folders
Hey!! It is now showing the former users' folders at the top level of the current user. Great!
Perhaps dovecot just needed time to "index" the new messages? Anyway, Luigi's suggestion on
moving and renaming the folders apparently worked.
Thanks!!!! --Mark

Restoring a deleted imap folder from backup to user Maildir
Hi,
A user accidentally delete a folder from their Maildir (probably while
using Thunderbird). The folder was at Archives/Sent/2015
(/.Archives.Sent.2015 in the Maildir format).
I attempted to copy the folder from a tar backup into the Maildir folder
but the new folder does not show up in Thunderbird or in the Subscribe
option.
I also copied the .Archives.Sent. folder as well. A

Problem with manually moving maildir files between folders
dovecot --version
1.1.beta1
With previous versions of Dovecot I could manually move maildir files
between folders and the index would automatically update when entering
the folder with Thunderbird. However, with 1.1.beta1, I am seeing the
following when entering the folder, when attempting to rebuild the
indexes via Thunderbird, or when attempting to force the download of all
messages in the

Cannot remove Maildir folder
Hi,
I have been using dovecot 1.0 beta 8 on Debian Sarge for a couple of
days and I experienced some problems when removing folders..
As an IMAP client I use Thunderbird 1.5 and IMAP folders are on NFS.
Here are the steps to re-produce the problem:
1. Run Thunderbird as usual
2. Create folder
3. Remove folder - In my case folder is not removed but moved to Trash
(Thunderbird setting)
4. I go to

Creating Maildir and populating with emails via external Python process
Hello:
I'm using Dovecot to provide IMAP services for Thunderbird clients. The user's
mail is stored in Maildir format and the individual emails which the user
"receives" are actually downloaded and put into the Maildir "repository" using a
Python email client (POP3 client).
I am trying to create the dovecot-uidlist file and maintain the "next UID" value

I noticed the following this week. No idea how long its been happening because I have
not tested deleting folders hardly at all. Steps to reproduce:

sieve not working with Postfix and maildir
I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot.
I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just
won't work.
Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the
inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved

convert plugin created maildirfolder file in root maildir directory
I've noticed that if a user's maildir gets created by deliver or
pop/imap without the convert plugin running, the maildir structure is
fine (no maildirfolder file). But, if a user gets converted, there is a
maildirfolder file in the user's base maildir directory. As far as I can
tell, that doesn't cause any problems, but I just wanted to mention it.

read only maildir subscriptions
Hello,
I have some (possibly very simple) questions about
subscriptions:
I store my old mails in /home/oldmails/ in one Maildir
where I have only read-only permissions (I cannot delete, create or modify
any files).
Under thunderbird, I can successfully log in and read my new mails,
but I cannot subscribe (?) within thunderbird to oldmails
(it is grey not black as other folders).

Migrating from mbox to maildir: Message ordering?
Hi, all.
I have been playing with the notion of migrating some of my folders to
maildir because it's a lot easier to manage that way from a reader
standpoint. The big question I have is how do I maintain message
ordering in each folder?
When I use a mail program to do the migration from mbox to maildir,
selecting "order received ascending", it works nicely, but one very

Dovecot shared quota with Maildir
Hello list,
We are in the process of exploring the idea of moving from UFS with
fs-quota to using softquotas in Dovecot (probably Maildir type, stored
in LDAP, all ontop of NFS).
I have it setup, and it works rather well so far.
But there is one situation we can currently support, which I can not see
a solution for with soft-quotas.
Generally customers get 1 email, with 1 quota.

Need a quick, safe method to empty /home/user/Maildir/{.Junk, .Trash}
I have some (Thunderbird client, dovecot-1.0.13, Maildir) users who get an
appalling amount of spam-with-attachment, and it's causing backups to take
an inordinate amount of time.
I'll implement some quota and server-side spam management when I go to
dovecot-1.1, but in the meantime:
