similar to: Converting UW MBX mail folder

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me

I want to migrate my big mail folder hierarchy in preparation for converting from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I've got a bunch of mbx format folders but some remain mbox. Has anyone done this? Any scripts out there for automating the conversion to all-mbox? I believe the only format conversion available is mailutil (part of UW-IMAP) and it works by opening an IMAP connection to the server and moving

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

I just want to check and make sure not missing anything. I'm trying to convert a customer away from UW. unfortunately, all of the mailboxes are in MBX format (my own mistake coming back to haunt me). mailutil doesn't seem to do conversions properly. It keeps complaining about an existing copy of /mbox and only if I say to -merge append will the copy proceed. mailsync doesn't

Does anyone here have any experience using Digium cards with MBX hardware/servers?

Hi, All, I've been happy user of dovocot as far. It is easy to configure, reliable and secure. Hat off to all developers who make this possible! I know dovecot is on the mailbox format front, it supports both mbox and maildir format well, and is developing and experimenting a new flexible format, dbox. But is there any plan to add mbx (i.e., indexed mbox format) support, to complete

Here's a feature I'd like. If Dovecot opened an MBX format file that it would convert it to an MBOX format file. I have several files that I'm having a hard time converting. The one I got from Washington University WUIMAP is extremely flawed.

dbox format needs at least two tools: 1. Expunging only marks the message having refcount=0. The actual disk space is freed only after calling a tool pointing to the user's dbox dir. 2. Ability to force index resync/rebuild in case it doesn't figure out itself that there's something wrong. I'm starting to think about building a more generic mailutil tool, maybe something similar

It is dreadfully slow -- I used it to export some of my users' mailboxes to Gmail or other remote mail servers, and I could almost cut&paste the messages faster. Like Aki

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

Hi Friends, I would like to ask you a suggestion: I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old one. Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration), more tools are shown: UW-IMAP's mailutil, imapsync, YippieMove and Larch. The each mail servers are Linux based, one of this (mine) is Dovecot. Based on your experience which of

Hallo, I recently stumple over some discussion about Sieve and what's the advantage to integrate it into the server rather than the LDA. Most of the filtering capabilites local users want to have performed are related to the INBOX or more preciesly the way to filter the message coming in. However, there are few tasks left: 1) Auto-archive old mail. 2) Drop old mail. 3) "Seen"

Hi there! It seems that # doveadm backup -v backup -fu $MUSER mdbox:"$BKPDIR/$MUSER/mdbox" doesn't backup all messages stored in alternate storage. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/srv/mail/slow/vmail/%n/mdbox I don't know how to debug this. The sizes of the mailboxes in the filesystems of user C are strange: ~/mdbox: # du -sm 2169 ALT: # du -sm 25252 backup: # du -sm

Hi, I am using dovecot (see dovecot -n output below) with metadata plugin in my own plugin. I want to insert and delete some large metadata (>4KiB). It seems, that the delete in a second call of my plugin smashes the file dovecot.dict in users dir: 1st call: *dovecot.dict is empty -delete metadata 1 -delete metadata 2 -insert metadata 1 ~8KiB -insert metadata 2 <1KiB *dovecot.dict

I'm currently using mbox and mbx with UW-IMAP, mbox for space efficiency and mbx for folders with lots of messages for time efficiency without a large space cost. I've avoided maildir because it has a relatively high space cost; mbox has no inter-message cost while maildir wastes on average half a sector plus an inode for each message. What other formats are there, and has anyone come
