doveadm mailbox subscribe wildcard
Hi,
I noticed that wildcards work like the following, as described in the
man page:
# doveadm mailbox list -s -u bob dovecot*
dovecot
dovecot/pigeonhole
dovecot/pigeonhole/2.0
however, wildcard subscriptions don't work:
# doveadm mailbox subscribe -u bob dovecot*
# doveadm mailbox list -s -u bob dovecot*
dovecot
dovecot*
dovecot/pigeonhole

Deleting a mailbox and all its children
I'm looking at scripting a mechanism to delete a mailbox, which is easy
with 'doveadm mailbox delete' -- however it gets complicated when there
are children of arbitrary depth, for example, I may have this:
restored.daily1.INBOX
restored.daily1.Sent
restored.daily1.Mystuff
restored.daily1.Mystuff.foo
I would like to delete the 'restored' mailbox and all its children (and

doveadm mailbox create error codes
Hello,
I'm trying to find out what the different 'doveadm mailbox create' error
codes are. I've been looking through the source, but I can't seem to
find them.
I did determine that '65' happens when "Error: Can't create mailbox x:
Mailbox already exists", but I've also received error 67, and the more
mysterious error code 16640.
Thanks for any

dsync with quotas
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.

2.1.3: doveadm mailbox delete lost the -s option
Looks like the recently added -s (for unsubscribing) option to doveadm
mailbox delete went missing:
root at vireo# /usr/bin/doveadm mailbox delete -u micahtest -s restored
delete: invalid option -- 's'
doveadm mailbox delete [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-s] <mailbox> [...]
although the option still is shown as valid :)

expunging
I am having trouble scaling some regular dovecot cleanup operations on
our servers. On a daily basis, I'm wanting to do this on each server,
which contains its own isolated set of user storage:
/usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash* savedbefore 21d
/usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam savedbefore 7d
/usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A mailbox Sent savedbefore 120d

doveadm mailbox list shows file system directories as mailboxes
Hello.
In our dovecvot we use mbox format with the default filesystem layout.
Therefore it is not possible to have mailboxes which are subfolders of
other mailboxes containing messages.
The command "doveadm mailbox list" includes the file system
directories, that contain only subfolders, as normal mailboxes in the
output:
archiv
archiv/daemon
archiv/dovecot

overriding userdb connection host for doveadm-user
I've got my users in a replicated database setup and dovecot configured
with two connect lines in dovecot-sql.conf:
connect = host=127.0.0.1 port=3306 dbname=users user=user password=pass
connect = host=127.0.0.2 port=3306 dbname=users user=user password=pass
this works really well to help balance the load.
However, when a new user is created, the replication information
sometimes has not

Mapping of INBOX.INBOX breaks imapc_list_prefix=INBOX?
We're running a huge imapc-Migration from an old Courier-IMAP to Dovecot.
Courier always uses "INBOX."-prefix for his folders, so we set
namespace inbox {
[...]
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
[...]
}
on our new Dovecot 2.2.20 system.
And also we added:
imapc_list_prefix=INBOX
to avoid the dublication of the INBOX prefix.
At the end, doveadm/dsync/imapc see

Safely restoring backups
I'm trying to determine what the best way to restore mail with mdbox
is. Restoring using maildir was trivial, I just used rsync
--ignore-existing which wrote any mails that were removed and didn't
touch things that already existed[1]. With mdbox things have become more
complicated, and I haven't found a way to restore mail that doesn't
result in many message duplicates.

mailboxes missing after upgrade from 2.1.4 to 2.1.7
Hi all,
I mentioned this on the #dovecot irc channel, but I thought I would post
here so I can provide more details.
The basic problem is that when I upgraded from 2.1.4 to 2.1.7, some
users no longer are able to see their folders in pine/alpine. The
folders are actually there, and are subscribed (according to doveadm)
and its possible to do operations on those folders, if you know the

corrupted indexes rebuilding over and over
Hi,
On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to
powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and
fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found.
Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are
corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is
failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot
delete mails. I

courier to dovecot migration
I have a quite old home server based on Debian 6.x packages using courier
imap server (exim4, fetchmail, courier, apache2, squirrelmail) to keep my
and my wife emails (about 25G).
I want renew my server to Debian 10 (buster) and got a recommendation to
use dovecot instead of courier. For this purpose I'm using a different PC
as a sandbox. Debian 10 currently offer dovecot version 2.3.4.1

Deleting a folder with & character
Hello,
One of my users has a mailbox named 'INBOX.Kron & SPM' (maybe created a

migration from IMAP/POP3 courier server to a remote dovecot server
Dear all
i'm planning a transparent migration from a courier server that provides
both IMAP and POP3 access to users to a remote dovecot server with both
IMAP and POP3 access.
I have to migrate about 2500 users for 250 GB of space.
I'm using dovecot 2.2.5.4 on debian6 squeeze.
To make a transparent migration i have to maintain old IMAP UIDs and POP3

Couldn't set transaction log view (seq 9..13)
Hello,
I'm using 2.2.13 on Debian stable, and I perform regular dsync
backups. Typically if there is an error, dsync can recover from it the
next time it is run, but I've been encountering a new error that doesn't
seem to self-heal:
