We're running Dovecot 2.1.17 on Debian: # 2.1.17 (9efbc0731929): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.27.debug i686 Debian 7.1 simfs and we're having this namespace configuration: mail_location = mdbox:/var/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = .

Having > 10 TByte mailstore filesystem-checks takes too much time. At the moment we have four different partitions, but I don't like to set symlinks or LDAP-flags to sort customers and their domains to there individual mount-point. I'd like to work with mdbox:/mail/%d/%n to calculate the path automatically. How do you handle >> 10 TB mailstore? I'm very interested in the

we have some replication issues. From time to time a doveadm-server process takes 100% cpu in the state recv_mailbox_tree_deletes on the replica. The process runs forever until it is manually killed. Strace on this process doesn't show anything. Sometimes we have several doveadm-server processes in this state, all for the same account, all with 100% CPU Load. The logfile on the master says:

Hi, I have a server with Dovecot 2.1.x and I'm trying to convert mbox-storages to mdbox-storages. # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.7 mail_location = mbox:~/mail During the first run everything's okay, but if I run the migration a second time, the later migration is broken: root at mailstore1:/srv/vmail/cklein# rm -R mdbox/ root at

The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we

Making consistent backups from Dovecot with mdbox requires a snapshoted filesystem with (at least) a short Downtime for Dovecot. I'd like to avoid killing several thenthousand IMAP-sessions for 60 seconds. Users don't like that... And the admin dislakes that too... What about a "short sleep" mechanism for Dovecot, where all writes are finished and new writes are easily delayed?

Hi, in seldom cirumstances it's possible that the imap-process is crashing without write something usefule into the logfile. a) User foo exists, is happy and everything's alright b) He had a shared folder given from bar c) In our setup we have mailforwarding adresses without a valid $home in LDAP c) if user bar is changed from a user with into a mailforwarding adress, the user foo

Hi, I'm about getting to know dovecot in details, I am about the command "doveadm user". The man page shows this example: userdb: jane uid : 8001 gid : 8001 home : /home/jane mail : sdbox:~/sdbox plugins : sieve quota_rule: *:storage=150M It seems to be nice, however I never got this only: ~# doveadm

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to convert a courier-imap installation over to using Dovecot, but I'm having some problems with Mail.app on OS X. FTR, we use both Mail.app and Thunderbird. Note that in the Mail.app preferences, I have a blank IMAP Path Prefix. I'm using Dovecot 1.0_rc15 on Gentoo, and Mail.app from OS X 10.4.8, Thunderbird 1.5.0.9.

All, We have Dovecot 1.0-stable deployed in our 3000 users environment as of last weekend. Up untill now, I have 3 issues: - When stopping Dovecot with: kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid`, the 'dovecot' process itself dies, the 'imap-login' processes die, but the 'imap' processes (there are a lot of them) don't die, but become a zombie. I think the way

I have an courier IMAP server running. To get sib dirs working I had to rename them all to begin with a period ".". e.g Maildir Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account1/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account2/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account3/{cur,new,tmp} etc If I uninstall Courier and install dovecot, will these "period" dirs be seen by default? I am fairly new to this and

Hi, I have a complicated SQL backend with stored procedures to generate passdb/userdb queries. This result have the proxy-attribute set and it's very complicated to change that procedures. On one system I tried to override/delete the proxy attribute: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext override_fields = proxy=n } Looks like that doesn't work.

I don't want such mailbox. I have inbox namespace mail_location = maildir:/mailStorage/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs namespace inbox { ? type = private ? separator = / ? prefix = ? inbox = yes } and another private namespace used for archiving namespace archive { ?prefix = archived/ ?inbox = no ?type = private ?location = maildir:/mailStorageArchive/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs ?mailbox Archive { ?

Using doveadm penalty I just noticed a penalty for 0.0.0.0. Is this Postfix querying the auth-socket for his SASL-requests? I tried adding 0.0.0.0 to login_trusted_networks, but that doesn't help.
