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

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

Hi again, I just recognized a problem concerning subfolders after converting from maildir to mdbox. Thunderbird and SeaMonkey don?t show folders that are subfolders of subfolders. Have a look at the filesystem: discovery:/var/mail/domain.tld/patrick/mdbox/mailboxes/Folder1/Folder2# ls -l insgesamt 8 drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep 23:42 dbox-Mails drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 5. Sep

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 issue with dovecot 2.2.13 I want to change all Maildirs to mdbox format and I do it per partes, so I change mail_location for user (in sql), than I use doveadm sync -u user path_to_maildir and everything works mostly fine. But now I found that when I migrate quite huge Maildir (about 24G of mails) to mdbox, after sync the final mdbox is twice as big as source Maildir (48GB). I

Hi, I replaced HDDs in my home server and reinstalled the OS (Ubuntu 17.04). Since I had some time I reviewed my Dovecot configuration and changed a couple of things, including mailbox format. Now I would like to migrate e-mail (about 20G -- I use this server as an e-mail archive). The Maildir is available on the (old) hard disk. The new dovecot is running. What should I use? Would mbsync work?

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

Hello I am writing to this mailing list to thanks Timo for dovecot 2 & mdbox. We have almost 30.000 active users and our life was sad with Maildir & backup: 24 hours for a full backup with bacula (zlib enabled maildirs, 1.4 TB). After switching to mdbox, the backup time is under 12 hours ! Instead of backing 17 millions files, with mdbox our backup is only of 1 million files,

Hi Thomas, thank you for your help. This is very strange that it wont work here. can you doveconf -n the relevant parts especially mail_plugins= and plugin { } i think i have misconfigured something :( Regards, 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

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

Silly question? Which is preferred? MailDir or Mbox? (directory vs flat file) How would you do this when migrating from an old server to a new one?

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, I am planning on running on test between maildir and mdbox to see which is a better fit for my use case. And I'm just looking for general advice/recommendation. I will post any results I obtain here. Important question: I have multiple users hitting the same email account at the same time. Can be a problem with mdbox? (either via thunderbird or with custom webmail apps). I remember
