Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one

Hi there I'm redirecting e-mails from mikkel at euro123.dk to another account (mikkel2 at euro123.dk) using sieves "redirect" with sieve 1.1.3. The e-mail is redirected just fine. But deliver still creates a core dump and returns an "e-mail undeliverable" to the sending account (even though delivery is successful). My .dovecot.sieve contains just this: redirect

Hello Actually we use MBOX format for all our IMAP access but users complain they cannot create subfolders in imap folders, of course they cannot because of MBOX format ... I need gurus advices on changing mailbox format Maildir of Dbox ? What would be the safest way to go ? Note : we extensively use Thunderbird here. Thanks

This is about how to implement multiple msgs/file dbox format. The current v1.1's one msg/file design would stay pretty much the same and it would be compatible with this new design. dbox directories with multiple msgs/file would be like: ~/dbox/storage/ has the actual mail data for all mailboxes ~/dbox/mailboxes/ has subdirectories containing mailboxes and their indexes Also since dbox

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-dbox-redesign/ Looks like multi-dbox scales pretty nicely. Even after 100k messages the peak saved msgs/sec is the same as the initial saved msgs/sec, even if the average slows down somewhat. I tested this by first deleting mailbox, then running "imaptest" for a second to get saving to start writing several fields to dovecot.index.cache file. Then ran

Hello! I'm having two issues building dovecot, one is with dbox storage, and another building gnutls as the SSL backend (builds fine with openssl). Software versions are Dovecot v2.0.0, GnuTLS 2.8.6 and OpenSSL 1.0.0a Configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-moduledir=/usr/lib/dovecot/modules --with-zlib

Hello. I'm install latest dovecot 1.2 from hg repo. I have many messages in maildir+ format. I migrate some folders to dbxo format using instructions from http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox. But in two folders i'm delete index.cache and index.log files, this is my mistake. Is that possible to recover this files (regenerate) or use my messages from maildir with dbox? Thank You for

Hello, I'm using dovecot and I want to use the "expire" plugin. However, it doesn't work, i.e. mails do not get deleted. I ran `/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test` and besides printing Info: stef/Trash: no messages left Info: stef/Spam: no messages left it doesn't do anything (especially not deleting e-mails). Obviously, in

Now that v2.0.0 is only waiting for people to report bugs (and me to figure out how to fix them), I've finally had time to start doing what I actually came here (Portugal Telecom/SAPO) to do. :) The idea is to have dbox and mdbox support saving attachments (or MIME parts in general) to separate files, which with some magic gives a possibility to do single instance attachment storage.

Hi Timo, I've just setup Dovecot v1.2.rc5 and switched the mailbox format of one account to dbox. Therefor I've created an empty directory, called dbox, with access mode 0700, like the user's home directory. After the IMAP login with Thunderbird some dboxes was created. All permissions were set fine (0700 / 0600), except the permissions for the files: *

Hello people, Since the invention of this storage called dbox, I have never quite gotten round to understanding it, nor getting to use it. It seems so strange to me and I must ask a few stupid questions about it. I use the MTA to deliver mail to Maildir, either in ~/Maildir or /some/path/%d/%n/Maildir. It has always beat me how dbox comes into play under such circumstances. From the wiki, I see

I'd like to give the dbox format a try, but I could not find any information on how to enable it. There's information on how to set mail_location for the Maildir and mbox formats in the wiki and also in the commented configuration file, but how to set it for dbox is strangely missing. I took a guess with 'mail_location = dbox:~/dbox', but that didn't work, so it's probably
