similar to: POP3 with mdbox

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from maildir to mdbox while preserving the pop3 UIDL (and the imap UID). The problem is, for maildir we use (for compatiblity with qpopper): pop3_uidl_format = %f Problem is, as soon as I convert that to mdbox, then whenever a client issues the UIDL command via a POP connection, the connection is closed and this error is displayed in the log: Error: UIDL: File

Hi, Considering the scenario, where you have some old account with a different POP3 UIDL format and you migrate them to dovecot. So these old UIDLs would be saved to dovecot-uidlist. At some later time you want to introduce a virtual POP3 INBOX like described on: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual So you decide to make the new UIDL format "%f" - to make them unique across

Hello list, im am trying to migrate customer mails via dsync from an old dovecot 1.1 setup to an new installed dovecot 2.2.25 setup with mdbox. Upgrading the old dovecot 1.1 to 2.2 with Maildir isnt an problem and the replication to the new setup works well too. The only problem now is, that the POP3 UIDL are completely wrong on the target setup. Im using for Maildir pop3_uidl_format = %f With

Hi all, Does anyone have a good migration document for Migration from Maildir (old server 2.1.x) to mdbox onto another new server with SIS preserving POP3 UIDLS. Preserving UIDLs is of paramount importance so that clients don't download mails again into outlook.

Hello, I am in the process of migrating a hosting setup from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. The protocols available to mail clients are IMAP and POP3 both before and after migration. I also wanted to change the mail storage format from MBOX to Maildir. However, at this point I hit a major snag with Dovecot and POP3 UIDL (unique identification listing for POP3 mailboxes). Several of the customers connecting

I have installed rc22 and tried it with my mbox-based mail - fine. Then I converted that mbox to Maildir to see if new feature (saving state without QUIT) works - first run - I get time out. Second run - I get rest of the Maildir scanned and get into mailbox. Fine. but.... # telnet enders2 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'.

Hi, I just migrated a server running qmail+vpopmail+maildir to sendmail+dovecot+maildir+vpopmail The migrating is working great thanks to the help from the list and the wiki. I'm now running the infamous problem about duplicating emails, because of pop3 UIDL mismatch. My question is: anyone knows that the pop3_uidl_format string for a vpopmail server? I'm using vpopmail auth and

Hi, we are in migration progress from Communigate Pro 5.0.x to Dovecot 2.0.15 with mdbox. We still migrated about 25.000 IMAP accounts from CGP to Dovecot. Also there were still added about 2000 new POP3 Accounts on Dovecot. Now we must migrate about 10.000 POP3 accounts from CGP to Dovecot. At the beginning of our migration we didn't set the "pop3_reuse_xuidl" configuration

With a INBOX mbox created by UW IMAP the messages in INBOX mbox contains the X-UIDL field When I use Dovecot POP3 with pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu on the first run, X-UID is inserted, but all messages are downloaded again. What am I missing, I don't want the clients to download the read messages again. Thanks Bertrand Leboeuf leboeuf at emt.inrs.ca

hi All, I have a srange problem. Before dovecot there was a courier imap and it worked just fine. The client(s) are the same then before, so I think, this is an server side problem. I have a user with Outlook and he uses pop3 and leaves messages on server. Sometimes the messages get downloaded again, when he starts the outlook. Not all, but 7-9 hours back. uidl format is like it's

Hello, I pasted my config below, hoping someone can point out something obvious. In my dovecot.log I am seeing: Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota I am using mysql userdb_* and passing maildir:~/maildir or mdbox:~/mdbox for mail. When its maildir its fine, I had that originally then used dsync to convert to mdbox, updated mysql entry to point to

I have two questions: 1. What method/tool (other than a MuA) can I use to test my Dovecot setup from Windows CLI when ssl is enabled? I have tried connecting to to the pop3/imap4 services from a Windows PC but here is what I get: [pop3] +OK Dovecot-2.0-sis ready. user wash at domain.co.ke -ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. [imap4] OK [CAPABILITY

Hello! I am trying to migrate from Teapop to Dovecot. I'm using Dovecot 1.1.14. I need to make use of the X-UIDL header so clients don't download messages they've already received. I have the X-UIDL head in the message. I have pop3_reuse_xuidl(pop3): yes My problem is the X-UIDL in the message is being ignored and Dovecot is still generating it's own. The INBOX is an mbx

Hi, I'm working with dovecot 1.0.beta2 for pop3 only and have set index=memory, so no indizes are created on the disk. pop3_uidl_format is set to %f. The maildirs are located on an nfs-share. So generally, this setup is very similar to what qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d does. However, everytime I'm switching from qmail-pop3d to dovecot, the system load increases from less than 2 to more

Hi, I've some troubles setting up the dict based quota plugin for mdbox, it always returns a error when lmtp tries to deliver an e-mail: Apr 8 12:40:16 mb07 dovecot: lmtp(3001, asmarre at ull.es): Error: fstat(/sharedfs/10.4.1.107/ull.es/54/asmarre/dovecot-quota.lock) failed: No such file or directory Apr 8 12:40:16 mb07 dovecot: lmtp(3001, asmarre at ull.es): Error: file dict commit:

I've got a weird split setup where POP3 is currently handled by Courier (courier-imap-3.0.2 distribution), and IMAP is currently handled by the RHEL 5 version of Dovecot (1.0.7) I'm trying to figure out a way to convert the POP3 UIDLs (in cases where the courierpop3dsizelist is newer than dovecot-uidlist, at least) to something that Dovecot will read, or to configure Dovecot's pop3 to

Dear List, To migrate a dovecot server from dovecot-1.x to dovecot-2.x, then I wonder if the UIDL format "pop3_uidl_format" setting is required in the configuration file for clients not to re-download the same mails from the migrated mail server. Currently, no UIDL format is set in /etc/dovecot file of the one using dovecot-1.x server which means it is commented out as default like

Hi there, I ran into an issue yesterday (dovecot 2.0) whereby when we dsync messages from a local machine (sdbox) to a remote (Maildir) which have different pop3_uidl_formats configured, the uidl format is not preserved. There doesn't seem to be any way to force this in the code, although I suspect that Maildir sources with saved pop3 uidls would pass them correctly. Attached is a rough patch

Hi, We're upgrading a cluster of servers from v1.0.15 to v1.1.x or v1.2.x. It appears that the UIDL generation mechanism has changed, and thus we'll be getting POP3 dups with users that leave mail on server (which is a nasty practice, I know). From checking the sources, and performing a number of controlled tests in various scenarios, here is the outcome: upgrade from 1.0.15 to

I am testing migration from Qpopper 4.0.5 and have come across a problem. Dovecot dies while processing UIDL command when accessing malformed Qpopper's mbox which has duplicated "From " separator. Qpopper occasionally makes such header while rewriting mbox. In the attached file, unnecessary "From " at line 3. ---------------- * Dovecot 1.0.0 on Debian 4.0(x86) * ext3
