similar to: Maximum ext3 file system size ??

Hi list, I have a small problem with recipient_delimiters contained in usernames. Recently I have extended recipient_delimiter from "+" to "+-" in both Postfix and Dovecot (using lmtp) and now any user that have a '-' in it's username can't receive mail anymore, because lmtp truncates the localpart after the '-' and of course can't find the first

Hi David, I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from per-user-settings. I had this once when migrating from maildir to mdbox. You might want to use Google and the mailing list archives for the details but in summary it went like this: - set Dovecot to grab the mail_location from user-settings (I think we used MySQL db field - or check docs for auto:) - have login

Hi, I've a question about the max. ext3 FS size. The ext3 FAQ explains that the limit is 4TB. http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html | Ext3 can support files up to 1TB. With a 2.4 kernel the filesystem size is | limited by the maximal block device size, which is 2TB. In 2.6 the maximum | (32-bit CPU) limit is of block devices is 16TB, but ext3 supports only up | to 4TB.

Hello IMAP users here have a *lot* of folders living in their mailhub home directory Converting the INBOX doesn't seems to be a problem I've found scripts that do the job :-) But How to convert IMAP folders from UW format ( one file / folder ) to dovecot format which seems much more sophisticated. Does anyone has written such ( nice) utility ? Thanks a lot Frank

Does anybody know of a script of a simple method of converting mbox mail stores to maildirs? I'm moving from an old pop3 system to imap and after installing about half our office with mboxes have found that mbox does not support subfolders which some people like to use. Is there any simple way of converting? I can go to each individual account and "manually" convert swaping data

Hi, I'm testing/debuging the migration from mbox to maildir in a mailserver running Dovecot 1.0alpha5. I migrated all 472715 emails(in a test server) and later noted that dovecot could not get the same flags/status of the emails as in the mbox. I was using perfect_maildir.pl and I think its not dovecot fault. Seems to me that perfect_maildir.pl convert the emails in a way that dovecot could

Hi, If this is a redundant post I apologize. I am running 2.4.20 on what has been a very stable Athlon machine for months, tried to move a 2 GB file from an ext2 partition to an ext3 and kjournald crashed. Here are the last reminants of my shell scrollback: [*ROOT* mofo /mnt/sda1/mysql/fd 641 ] ll oldmail/ total 2363288 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 2147483647 Jan 23 18:04 maillog.MYD

a couple of things that really helped me when converting from mbox to maildir. First is to see how simple procmail changes could be. in your /etc/procmailrc file, just add the following. MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ # Make sure this directory exists! DEFAULT=$MAILDIR if you're using per user procmail files, the exact same two lines will also work to ensure proper delivery. if

Wow excellent feedback Joseph, Philon and Aki, You have all pointed me in the right direction. Tonight I have tested Dovecot with just the minor configs I do for Dovecot setup and I have commented out the mbox/Maildir lines in 10-mail.conf from my testing: #mail_location = #mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I had run up some test files

I am trying in vain to discover any way to undelete a deleted directory on a ext3 filesystem. I have followed the recommended steps of immediately unmounting the file system containing the directory and remounting it as read-only, but have no luck: debugfs indicates no deleted inodes. If there is no disk activity following the incident, how can the data disappear? Any and all suggestions would

Hi, my / is located on /dev/hda6 and my "personal storage partition" - the palce where I store my important files - is located on /dev/hda9. I've deleted a couple of files in /dev/hda9/xyz/abc. Exactly I've deleted the whole directory "abc" with mc. Now hda9 is unmounted, of course. Can you give me a recipe about how to recover those files, please! Probably

Hi all, New to the list. I have an updated FC4 box with Dovecot version 0.99.14.4.fc4. My mbox size is about 76 megs and growing rapidly because of several high-volume mailing lists I'm subscribed to. I have noticed that over time the performance of the Evoluion/Spamassassin/Dovecot combo deteriorates. Someone on the Fedora users list suggested I have a look at moving to a maildir setup.

I was fooled by a hard link trying to clean up disk space. How can I undelete many files? (time is of the essence as I cannot unmount the partition) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th

I want to migrate my big mail folder hierarchy in preparation for converting from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I've got a bunch of mbx format folders but some remain mbox. Has anyone done this? Any scripts out there for automating the conversion to all-mbox? I believe the only format conversion available is mailutil (part of UW-IMAP) and it works by opening an IMAP connection to the server and moving

Can someone advise the best way to convert mailboxes from Mbox to Maildir for Dovecot 2.17 on Ubuntu? Thanks.

You can give mail location and home directory from userdb or passdb. For userdb, return mail=something:~/something and for home use home=/path/to/home For passdb, you can return userdb_mail and userdb_home Aki > On October 8, 2017 at 1:14 PM Philon <bytesplit at gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi David, > > I somehow remember that there is a way to get the mail_location from

I'm using Dovecot 1.0.1-12 on Linux/Fedora 7 along with sendmail and procmail all running on the same box mail is stored in mbox format It's a small system with a half dozen or so e-mail "accounts". Each with 40-60MB of messages in various folders. I keep seeing messages about how mbox is antiquated and anybody with more than 100 messages etc should not use mbox, but use
