similar to: INBOX empty after dsync

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* #

I'm working on migrating IMAP users from Mirapoint Message Servers to Dovecot servers. The Mirapoint IMAP server uses INBOX as a namespace for private mailboxes. I created the same namespace in Dovecot, but when I migrate mailboxes dsync seems to ignore/miss the namespace on Mirapoint and I end up with all mailboxes under a INBOX.INBOX hierarchy. Mirapoint Source Server

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Recently I encountered odd quota increases when using 'dsync' with the latest and greatest: 2.0.8 (89936539e3b8). Say you got something in place like this: plugin { quota = dict:user::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=1GB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% } Kick off a manual backup: $ dsync -u user at domain.tld

I have been working on converting people from courier maildir -> dovecot mdbox and during some of the dsync runs I'm seeing the quota_exceeded_message be printed as an Error: dsync(<user>): Error: Can't save message to mailbox INBOX: You are over quota. To avoid losing mail, immediately empty your Trash and Sent folders and \ delete emails with large attachments.

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

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

Hi all, I'm receiving a reproducible dsync backup panic for some of my users. The error message is as follows: dsync-remote(user@<removed>): Panic: file dsync-brain-mailbox-tree-sync.c: line 111 (dsync_brain_mailbox_tree_sync_change): assertion failed: (brain->no_backup_overwrite) dsync-remote(user@<removed>): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69b70)

Hi, I am looking for a way to sync only selected files/mailbox'es using dsync. Am I using the dsync -m option incorectly? It looks like it's being ignored. And as for the main INBOX (/var/mail/username) what should be the parameter for -m? dovecot --version 2.1.7 dsync -u pj -D -v -m Alerts -o mail_location=mdbox:/home/pj/mdbox backup mbox:/home/pj/:INBOX=/var/mail/pj doveadm(root):

Hi, I'm currently trying to setup remote backups of my emails but i'm running into issues (mdbox format, indexes and storage in the same folder hierarchy). Local backup command: dsync -u "my_user" backup /backups/my_user (1) Recently, I noticed that the local backup takes up twice the size as the original mail location (8gb vs. 4gb). I purged alot of emails from the original

Hi, I will begin two migrations next week, and in both cases I plan to use compressed mailboxes with mdbox format. But in the last minute one doubt has appeared: is dsync aware of compressed mailboxes? I'm not sure if dsync -u $USER mirror mdbox:compressed_mdbox_path works, or if I have to use something else (I guess that with a running dovecot dsync backup should work). Thanks.

Hello we are doing regular backups of the mdbox mail folders using dsync -u username backup mdbox:/somedir/BACKUPS/username (still with version 2.1.10, but 2.2.5 is in testing phase) We do observe that the directory size in the BACKUPS directory is growing with respect to the original mail folders. I believe this is due to deleted mails not being purged in the backup. We are doing regular

Hi, when creating a copy of a mail, dovecot provides a feature that will store its contents only once. In maildir, this is done by means of hard links, while mdbox has some special refcounting mechanism. My question is, how can we convert mails from maildir to mdbox without duplicating these copies? It seems that dsync does not detect the hard links. Even if the hard-linked mails have the

I need to backup some of the mailboxes on our system. We are currently using mdbox with zlib compression plugin. The backups need to be maildir without compression. How can I accomplish this using dsync? The following just causes each msg file in maildir to be compressed as well. dsync -f -u user1 backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 While this just causes the dsync to fail while spewing a bunch of

Hi, I have a failover cluster for mail server with: Ubuntu12.04 + DRBD (for block replication) + Ext4 filesystem + Dovecot-2.0.19-2 with Mdbox It works fine with ~50k accounts. My cluster design: http://adminlinux.com.br/cluster_design.txt I plan to test Dovecot Replication with dsync to build an active/active cluster with load balancing. Can anyone direct me to some literature? A tutorial

Hello, when I try to convert from mbox to mdbox with dsync with one user it always panics: # /opt/local/bin/dsync -v -u userxy backup ssh root at minerva1 /opt/local/bin/dsync -v -u userxy dsync-local(userxy): Info: Papierkorb: uidnext changed: 161 != 1 dsync-local(userxy): Info: INBOX: uidnext changed: 9139 != 9105 dsync-local(userxy): Info: Trash: uidnext changed: 3924 != 3915

I just tried to migrate one of my users from maildir to mdbox using dsync. My conversion script is checking the dsync exit code to know if the conversion goes fine or not, and surprisingly dsync returned "0" at the same time as it gave the error: Error: Failed to sync mailbox .ta\ vare\ p? ...
