Small change to make dovecot pop3 uw-imap migration friendly
Hi,
today I've finished migration from uw-imap daemons to shiny and fast
dovecot. With thanks of dovecot my mail server load average drops by factor
of ten even with ancient unix mailboxes. ;-)
So, the only thing I've discovered is what POP3 uidls are different than
ones used in the uw-imap. Luckily, the difference are only in the format
string used in uidl response. So, I've

Corrupt mbox folders after migration from uw-imap
After migrating our mail server from uw-imap to dovecot at the
weekend we've had a few corrupted mbox folders. I assume this is
due to messages with bad Content-length headers. Is there any way of
checking the Content-length of messages in mbox folders?
Thanks

UW-IMAP .imaprc - does dovecot use this file in any way
Hi,
We are in the process of settings up a test server to help us test
moving from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I didn't see any reference to the
UW-IMAP .imaprc file, does Dovecot just ignore this file.
cat .imaprc
I accept the risk

UW-IMAP -> Dovecot : patch to remove nasty "internal messages" from UW-IMAP ?
Hello there,
We want to move from UW-IMAP to Dovecot (mbox format), works like a
charm, but UW-IMAP has that bloody habbit to make a stupid message in
all his mailbox files :
From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Apr 19 10:30:01 2001
Date: 19 Apr 2001 10:30:01 +0200

imap flags on uw-imap
I am talking with a client about moving from CentOS 3.7 to CentOS 4.x
and migrating their uw-imap to cyrus-imapd but in the process, would
want to do a clean install. This is problematic in that if I want to
preserve the IMAP flags for all the users INBOX and other mail folders,
I would have to move them to another computer and then use something
like imapsync (which I've used before) to copy

move from imap-uw
Hello!
I've just subscribed and I'd like to ask. Is there any troubles if I
change my imap-uw with davecot? Will davecot pick up imap-uw created
folders (mboxes)? I use all protocols: imap, imaps, pop and pops.
I've seen some problems with mbox was mention on this maillist. What
kind of problem?

UW-IMAP to Dovecot conversion - How to migrate the folders?
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

UW-IMAP migration to namespaces
Hello,
I am trying to migrate existing UW-IMAP installation to dovecot 1.1.14
and I am having troubles with namespaces.
As you know UW-IMAP allows full system access to home directory of a
user and you can set up dovecot to do that as well, but I would like to
use namespaces.
If I set my namespaces like this:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes

Migration Problem UW-IMAP to Dovecot Maildir
I've just replaced our ancient (10-year old) mail server running
Sendmail/UW-IMAP on Solaris with Postfix/Dovecot 2.1.10 running on Linux
on new hardware. I opted to go with virtual users and I didn't want to
create system accounts and I might end up hosting another department's
mail as well.
We have a mix of POP3 and IMAP users, roughly 90 total. The POP3 user

Converting from UW-IMAP to dovecot - odd client problems
Our installation currently uses an old version of UW-IMAP. Instead of
upgrading to the latest
version, we're in the process of testing dovecot 1.0.13 on a Solaris 9
machine (using a different
set of network ports of course so both the old and new systems can
coexist during testing).
We've been asking selected users to switch from UW-IMAP to dovecot in
order to test various

uw-imap and gnu-pop3d to dovecot transition/replacement
Hi
I am trying directly to replace old uw-imap + GNU pop3d with Dovecot.
Problems I am having with new (1.0-stable 22.02.2005) are:
- How to get SSL working with new config?
imaps_listen doesn't exist anymore.
cannot add protocol imaps for some reason.
- need to get Dovecot run on another port the test-phase, ie 144 for
imap, 994 for IMAPs
- need to use .mailboxlist (modified the source

Idea to enhance migration from UW-Imap
Hello,
i want to migrate from UW-Imap to dovecot, but want to avoid changing clients
(that would be really hard to do).
All my users have their Mailboxes in ~/Mail. My idea would be now to strip off
"Mail" from the imap commands, so that both a client which prepends "Mail" as
well as one who doesn't would see the same mailboxes.
Can somebody give me a hint where in

doveadm sending invalid AUTHENTICATE to uw-imap
I'm migrating a legacy uw-imap system to Dovecot, on a Rocky (RHEL) 8
server running Dovecot 2.3.16-3 from their repos. I am using a master user
to import all users for an imaps connection from the old server to the
new. On a trial run however, it worked for about half the users. Half are
giving an error of the form:

dovecot replacing uw-imap
Hey,
I'm trying to sort out how to make dovecot replace uw-imap cleanly. But
I have the following problems/questions:
1. Why is mbox support limited to user-owned directories?
2. Would it be possible to have dovecot target a different place than
~user/mail by default, specfically some place like
/var/path/to/maildirs/userdir/
I'd like to move all my mail storage out of user homedirs and

migrating from uw imapd
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate from uw imapd to dovecot.
I'm having two problems at the moment.
1. uw imapd grabs new mail from /var/mail/user and then shoves it into ~/mbox, is there any way to make dovecot handle this kind of setup or am I better off merging ~/mbox back into /var/mail/user? If merging is better are what tools are best for this?

Old Maildir UW-imap
Hi all,
I'm new in using dovecot and I'm running in a problem, which I cannot
solve without hours and hours of work. Maybe there is a solution, which
I didn't find with old friend google :_)
Here is the problem: We are using an old mailserver (it's running fine
for 5 years) with qmail and the old uw-imap server. All users have their
grown directories under a home/Maildir folder.

Migrating from UW: mbx detection and conversion
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
