similar to: Problem with seeing mail after Upgrade from Courier

I inherited a server from a previous employee. The server crashed so it was time to move everything over to another server. We have a web mail site and I installed everything running dovecot, postfix and roundcube. After I installed it, everything worked great when I created a new user. The new user could send and receive emails with no issues. I then copied the home directory over from the

Hi all, I am in the process of migrating my Maildir IMAP server from courier-imap to dovecot. I am now at the point of converting my Maildirs into a format that dovecot understands (as per http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier). Problem: ------- #/usr/bin/perl courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --recursive Finding maildirs under . ./courierimapuiddb: OK No such file or directory at

I currently run postfix and courier on my mail servers with squirrelmail. The problem with courier is it seems to run so slow. The webmail takes forever to load if you have many mails. I have this set up in virtual domains with all longin and path info in an mysql database. I just joined the list and DID google before asking, hope this isn't a common question. With courier it looks for a

I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users. Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier? Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does? I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and improve performance. Are there any performance tweaks I

Dear friends, My intention is to migrate from Courier-Imap Dovecot 4.4.1 to 1.1.16, the problem is that I've noticed that when creating folders using the Courier does not create the file courierimapsubscribed therefore I doubt if this will bring me problems trying to perform the migration script by courier-dovecot-migrate.pl drwx------ 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jun 18 16:38 . drwx------

Hi all, I am migrating a maildir Courier-IMAP installation to Dovecot. Almost everything seems to work well, but I still have problems accessing subfolders. First let's see what I have done. I used the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script suggested in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier to convert mailboxes from Courier to Dovecot. No problems here. My dovecot.conf contains this: (...)

Hi, We are building a new system that will support a large number of users (high volume, high concurrent usage, etc).? We have played with Dovecot, but in most serious applications we have traditionally used Courier IMAP.? It's my (lay) understanding that with indexing and perhaps other things in Dovecot, it might perform better than Courier in larger environments like this.? Am I correct or

Hi All, I have compared Dovecot performance to Courier and it appears that as a POP3 server Dovecot is slower in 2 times but as an IMAP server it is faster in 1.5 times. The same node (16CPUs), testing time is 30 min, please see results and dovecot configs attached. Benchmark software is MStone used by Sendmail Inc so is is quite reliable. I do not see anything else to tweak in Dovecot to

Dear All, We would like to migrate our existing courier to dovecot. After reading document on website and doing some tests, here are some issues we met. 1. According the the wiki, it seems to imply that once migrating from courier to dovecot, pop3 users may "lost/forget" their download "index/ history" which cause them to download again old mails that are kept on

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1],

Hi I've been using courier for some time, but have just built a new box and am using dovecot (V1.2.9), Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I have a question regarding multiple concurrent imap connections and how to get dovecot to behave in the same way that courier does. I have searched the wiki, but find little relevant to my specific issue. Courier-Imap Behaviour If I have thunderbird pointed at the

Hi, guys. I've read the information in the Wiki about making dovecot's UID's match Courier's UID's in the POP3 server, so that a UIDL command on either server will return the same UID's for the same group of messages. However, what I've read doesn't match what I'm seeing in Courier. Courier appears to keep the UID numbers for messages that it uses for the POP3

I have some old mail on courier-imap that I'd like to bring over some of the readme says I need to make Dovecot's inbox as "INBOX" not "Inbox" for courier-imap compatibility.. that seems to be already default, no ? also, my INBOX is mainly like 'sent/year/month' and some other 'work/this' subfolders is there a tool I need to use, or should just copy

For testing purposes, on a small set of users, we've run the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script. We are converting from Courier 0.43 to Dovecot 1.2.9. For the most part, things seem to be ok. However, an iPhone IMAP client user is reporting a problem where some of her messages don't show up. Even stranger is the fact that these same messages do appear when using Outlook 2k7 for

Hi, I finally got a grip on our mail guys to try out Dovecot after they started migrating a ~15k user mailsystem to Maildir+NFS (Netapp)+Courier and the performance was not as good as expected. So far the results are impressive, although there are of course a few small issues to be solved. One is the current Quota handling, which they use with Courier IMAP and (still) think it needs to be

Upgrading to CentOS6 is on my list, but I'm trying to get the latest Courier-MTA running at the moment. I downloaded the current courier tarballs and tried to build the rpms on a CentOS4 system. I got these errors: $ rpmbuild -tb courier-authlib-0.64.0.tar.bz2 ... libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libauthpipe.a authpipe.o authpipelib.o libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libauthpipe.a libtool: link: (

Are there existing rpms for courier mta? I am working from: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-fedora-14-x86_64 And am making progress with postfix and mysql, but looking ahead to other steps. I see squirrelmail is in EPEL.
