similar to: Migrating to mdbox

Hi again, after replacing CRLF in 4 mboxes dsync was able to sync all of the 30+GB mailstore to mdbox. Now the (repeated) calling of dsync yields info messages of the kind dsync(athimm): Info: old/speicher: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: root/root-heretic: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: lists/ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma: highest_modseq changed: 11

Hi guys, I'm running dovecot/postfix on my Debian Jessie maschine: # dovecot --version 2.2.13 doveconf -n output: http://p.bastelfreak.de/HsVwS/ today I migrated from maildir(located at /var/vmail) to mdbox with these commands: rsync -av -f"+ */" -f"- *" /var/vmail/ /home/vmail/ rm /home/vmail/*/*/Maildir -rf for i in $(doveadm user \*); do u=$(echo $i | cut -d@ -f1);

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

I've been running continous dsync backups of our Maildirs for a few weeks now, with the destination dsync server using mdbox and SIS. The idea was that the destination server would act as a warm copy of all our active users data. The active servers are using Maildir, and has: $ df -h /usr/local/atmail/users/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/atmailusers

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? ? ?

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

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 have a problem to convert mdbox to MailDir. Log from that process looks like: /bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domian.com mirror maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/user at domian.com Debug: Loading modules from directory: /lib/dovecot Debug: Module loaded: /lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so Debug: Loading modules from directory: /lib/dovecot/doveadm Debug: Module loaded:

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, I thought mdbox was production ready, but it seems to me that (in 2.0.4) it's quite broken. 1) The documentation only running this to convert from maildir to mdbox: *dsync mirror maildir:~/Maildir* but based on my experience and on posts on the mailing list, it's not enough. A namespace has to be defined and it's not clear whether / or . should be used as a separator. I

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

Hi, We are trying to convert all mbox mail on our systems to mdbox using dsync, in order to be able to use email sub-folders in Thunderbird. Everything works fine for non-inbox folders, however the inbox folders are not getting converted. We used: *dsync -v convert mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* *dovecot --version* 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef) (shipping with RHEL6/SL6) *dovecot -n* #

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

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

Hi All, I currently have a small Dovecot server (Server A) and I've installed a second dovecot mailbox server (server B) and am trying to sync mailboxes from Server A to Server B. Both servers sit behind two dovecot directors on separate hosts and have identical config files (doveconf -n output below). Mailboxes on Server A are on an NFS mount. Server A has been working fine with no

Hello, I would like to convert all users mail from maildir to mdbox. My Dovecot version is 2.0.1, converted from 1.2.13 but config was rewritten from scratch. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat says following: maildir -> mdbox migration. Set mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox and run doveadm convert -u username maildir:~/Maildir but doveadm does not know a command like

Hi, i'd like to convert from maildir to mdbox. what would be the best way to do this? i have read the dsync part of the dovecot wiki but i don't get what i have to use for my setup. my dovecot.conf (the snippets i think would matter): mail_gid = 5000 mail_home = /DATEN/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:/DATEN/vmail/%d/%n/mail/ mail_plugins = " zlib" mail_uid = 5000

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.
