similar to: Any way to recover deleted files on ext3?

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, 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

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

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

Hello, We have run and stopped by chance command "fsck -y" on one of our raid disks (with ext3 file system). After that we have found that SOME files disappeared (they are not seen in the directories where they have been before). The data are extremely important and contain a lot of programs, scripts for some data analysis and very hard to recover by hands. I have run ''fsck

Hi, If the ext3 file system maximum size updated or it is still 4TB for 2.6.* kernel? The site at http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html says that it is 4TB yet, but I would like to know if it is possible to create and use stable & easy-to-fix (or at least as stable & easy-to-fix as ext3) file systems as big as 100TB for 32 bit Linux architecture? Any experience

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

I'd say, let Mailman throw all people off the list that have enabled DMARC checking without using exceptions for the lists they are on. It's a known fact that DMARC does not

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 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.

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

Thanks for the reply MJ. Good to hear it works in MailDir format - might need to look at this. To date I have only had this issue with Outlook and for me personally on Fedora with Thunderbird, I tend to keep a heap of e-mail folders without sub-foldering and have my own little Linux 'utopia' of annually archiving folders etc using the Linux scripting environment, so I never have

I have a Debian system from a Knoppix distribution. I started out with ext2 but decided to change to ext3. tune2fs -j OK. However the system boots with a warning ....ext3 mounted as ext2. proc/mounts confirms this and no journal is running. So I have to make an initrd. Did so using instructions in the Debian Reference and this did not change anything. Any attempt to use the img produced was a

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.

Hi folks. I just converted my site from UW+mbox to dovecot+maildir (stable-test59, 2005/02/25). For the most part, everything is great. The server seems faster and less memory intense than the UW server (this part has made me very happy). And it's definitely more user friendly to me than Courier. There is one thing however... A few of my users are using the web based mail reader
