similar to: OT: Migration from Evolution to Thunderbird (Thunderbird mbox files)

Hi all, I'm still using beta8 (on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE). Recently I put a co-worker who's using Thunderbird (1.5.0.4) on it and he seemed to have lost some messages (which were delivered on the spool since seen on procmail logfile). I switched him on another server to play safe and tried to test it myself but failed to reproduce the issue. I myself use mutt on a daily basis with no

Hello, Sometimes it happens that messages (e.g. one or two) appear in wrong folders in Thunderbird (latest version, also past versions, different computers, also Earlybird). When I repair the folder (folder/Settings/Repair Folder) in Thunderbird, the folder is correct then. It happens on my new server with Fedora 20, Dovecot 2.2.13 and Maildir but it also happened on my old server with

Hi, I have a CentOS 6.4 fileserver running SerNet Samba 4.0.9 with these global settings (not overridden): read only = No force create mode = 0777 force directory mode = 0777 inherit acls = yes inherit owner = yes inherit permissions = yes On a Windows client, I have Thunderbird 24.0 storing its profile and mail on the Samba share.

Hi. I'm migrating all my mail archive (some 60 GB) from Evolution (which is really a broken piece of software) into dovecot. Now I face the problem how to do this best... Evolution (which is still a old 2.32.x version) itself uses mbox files, in a special hierarchical structure to allow subfolders and that like. It also stores it's own status info in X-Evolution and X-Evolution-Source

We upgraded our imap server hardware and went from dovecot 1.1.3 to 1.2.3 in the process and have been having a critical problem since. I believe I've tracked it down to X-UID reordering that dovecot seemed to do to the mbox format (I know, I know...) inboxes. The problem has manifest itself in several ways with different mail clients but the general problem is that the mail clients have

Hi all, If you don't care about Debug Info or PDB files you can stop reading now. Just wanted to give a heads up that I'm planning to add a new folder under DebugInfo called Msf. MSF stands for Multi-Stream File and is the container format used by PDB debug info files. However, MSF by itself is generic enough that it need not contain PDB data, and in fact I can think of at least one

The latter. Unfortunately we need to get physical access and delete the checkout. I'm afraid reverting will just reintroduce the problem and re-break all the bots that people already took the time to fix, since going from MSF -> Msf is the same as going from Msf -> MSF On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 8:55 AM Reid Kleckner <rnk at google.com> wrote: > So, the MSF rename managed to break

I actually regret doing all caps for PDB, and there seems to be mixed use of all caps / rolling caps even with dwarf (some places say DWARF, others say Dwarf). I don't feel too strongly aside from the minor inconvenience of having to change thousands of occurrences where I already used rolling caps though :-/ On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 10:52 AM Reid Kleckner <rnk at google.com> wrote:

Hi, I'm using Dovecot v1.0.beta5 (NetBSD 3.0, i386) and Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 (XP, i386). My dovecot.conf is pretty simple, because I just use dovecot for me as the only user. However, when I try to move a 'larger' amount of mails (>200) from my local TB-mbox to the remote IMAPS-storage, the process hangs after about 150 - 160 transferred mails (the 'blocking' mail

I'm trying to use Evolution on the latest CentOS 7. Whenever I try to receive or send mail, there's always a 90-second delay before the connection works. Since the delay is always exactly 90 seconds, I think I may be waiting for something to time out. Perhaps this is a clue. My address is user at example.com. I have to log in to pop.example.com or imap.example.com as user, not as user at

Hello all, I have a new installation of Fedora 4 and Dovecot 1.4.Alpha4 A small percentage of my users are getting unable to pop mail from a client (ie: Outlook), they get continually prompted for username/password. The error they get is: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file. When I look in the file, I don't see anything unusual. There's not much info on the Internet about this

Hello, First, I used thunderbird, and everything looks great. I tried my account in evolution and all the folders appear in one level and not in several as they were in thunderbird. Inbox Inbox.foo Inbox.bar instead of Inbox foo bar What could be the problem? Thanks! ===== Terry __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site

In planning our migration, I've noticed that lots of users have bits of lint in their ~/mail and/or ~/Mail. For example-- for an mbox called "blah" we may see: blah blah.msf (from Thunderbird) .blah.summary (from... I'm not sure, dtmail maybe) .blah_SIMS_index0003 (from our old IMAP server). When the user goes to

I need to import the mail database generated by the evolution mail reader into dovecot. Evolution stores its mail in maildir format (fully standards compatible, I think); I would be using the maildir format in dovecot. Is there anything in the wiki, etc. explaining exactly how to do this? Why do this? Evolution is hopelessly broken, and is not likely to be fixed in the forseeable future, and

The bot has been failing its CMake step for a while now. Probably fallout from renaming Msf to MSF. Can somebody get this straightened out? It's one of the bots that run VS2013 AFAICT which makes it useful to me. Thanks, --paulr

Hey all, A few minutes ago, I installed Dovecot, hoping things would get clear by just looking at the relevant config files, but since they don't, I hope someone here could give me a clue... What I want to achieve is really only basic functionality. It's just for personal use, so it shouldn't get too complicated. Up til now, I have been using fetchmail to get my mail off of several

I don't know if this is an Evolution bug or not, but when I use the maildir format with Dovecot 0.99.10p2 (from OpenBSD packages collection) and connect to it from Evolution 1.4 using IMAP, Evolution displays subfolders incorrectly. It actually does not show any subfolders, only root folders with names like "Folder.Subfolder" and "Folder.Subfolder.Subsubfolder".

Hello everybody, I am in the process to install dovecot as an IMAP server. Currently, this system runs postfix and uses procmail for local (mbox style) delivery. Procmail ist started by postfix like this: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail ~/.forward: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 # jw" Before going

hi could you explain the following sentence from the readme.txt: "mbox support is available but currently it relies a little bit on good luck, ..." what kind of luck do i need? why do you think the mbox support isnt this reliable?

Some background: A while back while working on code to read / write PDB files, I came up with Yet Another Stream Abstraction. Note that LLVM already has a few. Off the top of my head, theres: 1) `MemoryBuffer` and its associated class hierarchy 2) `raw_ostream` and it's associated classes. 3) `DataExtractor` which is used for reading from a StringRef. There's probably more, and
