similar to: Problems Converting Maildir to mdbox

Hi, I am seeing constant "Log synchronization error"s in my logs. See later for an example. This is dovecot 2.2.4, pigeonhole 0.4.1, and postfix 2.10.1 (with mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) on a Fedora 19 system. I am using packages from Atrpms so there are some patches applied - ask for details. The mailboxes have resently been moved from a i386 system. I have

Looking at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat, I do not see much on how to do a migration from Maildir to mdbox. That page isn't quite updated it looks. I have several domains (virtual) with the following storage layout: /var/spool/virtual/$domain. So the users have their mail stored as follows: /var/spool/virtual/domain1/$user/Maildir /var/spool/virtual/domain2/$user/Maildir

I saw that before but there is only maildir -> mdbox but not mdbox -> maildir Did I have missed anything there?

I?m trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat * Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/ * Then I had run /mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mirror mdbox:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com<mailto:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com> but that

Hi How can I convert all virtual mailboxes from maildir to mdbox? Manually, one by one, working, but I have a lot ... Virtual users and domains stored in sql database. Thats what I want: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir to mail_location = mdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%n/mdbox Thanks Levi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It's apparent I have some level of corruption in my mailboxes - something to do with the combination of mdbox, sis, and zlib. I should note that I know I have a mix of compressed and raw messages - if that makes any difference in identifying the problems. I think I need to somehow regenerate the mailboxes with issues. Is there a suggestion for how to accomplish this? Should I perhaps use

Hi all, I think it would be a good idea for me to move from mbox to mdbox, as I have 57,000 messages in my inbox, and clients hang for a minute whenever they request a CHECK, or Dovecot feels the need to run one itself. Looking at past threads: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg35212.html http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/53936 it seems that the safest way

Is there a way to manually force an mdbox storage to be rebuilt into new files? Particularly files of the maximum size? -- Daniel

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST

Hello I'm using mdbox for mail storage. I'd like to give users an option to recover backups into a new folder, say, Backup-$date. Is there a simple way to do this? I was looking at tools like dsync and doveadm-altmove but apparently they're not intended for this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance, Andre

Is there any way to convert Dovecot's mdbox/dbox to mbox, MailDir or eml format (or any other easy to import format)?

Hello, i have to backup (tape library) a mailsystem with about 300.000 Mailboxes on 2 backends. Summary of all mailboxes are 2 TByte. The mailstore is mdbox. Is it save to do a simple filesystem backup (full and incremental) with backupsoftware? What is the prefered strategy to do a backup for desaster recovery (mailsystem crash) and restoring single usermailboxes? Regards, Claus

I looked around the 'Net to see if there might be a custom program for offline Maildir to mdbox conversion. So far I haven't turned up anything. The problem for us is that the dsync program simply takes a lot of time to convert mailboxes. I wonder if time could be saved with a program that is optimized to convert mailboxes without the fancy locking that dsync needs to do. Does have (or

Trying to clean up the last of the corruption caused by my own stupidity. I now have two mailboxes for one user that give errors such as: doveadm(fax at amfes.com): Error: zlib.read(/var/mail/amfes.com/fax/mdbox/storage/m.9): gz trailer has wrong CRC value at 20065618 doveadm(fax at amfes.com): Error: read(/var/mail/amfes.com/fax/mdbox/storage/m.9) failed: Invalid argument (uid=238)

Hello list, i run into another problem. It seems there are some null bytes in the middle of an compressed mdbox, if i look into it with hexdump after run doveadm dump. With mdbox-recover.pl i could recover ~2k messages. What should i do to recover this broken mdbox file and dsync can finish? ? ?

Hi! ? I have several mbox files (unstructured, only the big?plain mbox?files) and I would like to integrate/read these mbox files into mdbox subfolders of specific users.? This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (or whatever) their mailboxes.? I am sure it is pretty easy.? Can someone
