Hello, I have some trouble using "doveadm altmove -r". Regular "doveadm altmove" is OK, selected mails were moved to alternate storage as expected. But I can't manage to get them back to original location, "doveadm altmove -r" has no effect. We are using Dovecot 2.3.4 (Debian Buster package). mail_location =

Hi there, there is the ubuntu version 2.0.13 ov dovecot installed on our server. But in contrast to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove the option -r isn't supported in this version. altmove: invalid option -- 'r' doveadm altmove [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query> In which version of dovecot is this option supported? Thanks Lars

Hello again. When I use doveadm altmove, I notice that it may result in some very small storage files in either the primary or the alternate storage location. I'm not quite sure, but it almost seems like every storage file that contains messages to be moved is simply split into two parts, even if a part might only contain a single message. This seems quite curious, since the idea of

Hi, im wondering if it's possible to store old messages in a compressed mdbox on alternate storage. The main storage is uncompressed mdbox. I tried something like: doveadm -Dv -o "plugin/zlib_save=gz" altmove -u testuser sentbefore 8d Could someone tell me if it's possible and give me a hint how this can be done? I tried this with dovecot-2.2 Claus

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the

Hi, Your problem might be similar to mine a long time ago. IMO behavior of "doveadm altmove -r" command with mdbox format is different to sdbox format: - With sdbox format, when you move back a message to primary storage (aka default storage), only the message and the file containing it are affected. There is nothing impacted. - With mdbox format, a file in storage contains

Hello, i tried to move mails to an alt storage with the following command: doveadm altmove -u user at domain.de mailbox Inbox After that, the imap process produces a core dump (files has not been moved): Maillog: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user at domain.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=X.X.X.X, lip=X.X.X.X, mpid=5393, TLS, session=<83JiHqNdTwCsEAIf> dovecot: imap(user at

I was thinking about documentation for alternate storage. We have a few mentions at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove But I was thinking it would be helpful if there could be a page about alternate storage. I could write the page, but I currently have so many unknowns that I think it would be

In some folders I have hundred of such files, but they really are hardlinks to the same .temp file (for each folder), so they do not consume

Hi list, I've just set up a 2.1.7 server, and have migrated a couple of accounts across from a 2.0.15 server, keeping the old configs. I have a strange problem on the new box in that altmove just doesn't work. I have my main storage under /home/email, indexes under /home/indexes and ALT under /home/email_archive. When I run the altmove command, the following broken symlink is created

I have a Fedora Core server running: Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) kernel version: 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4smp ( I have also tried kernel version: 2.6.16-1.2108_FC4smp) I compiled the ocfs2 and ocfs2-tools using the following steps: # MODULES: tar zxvpf ocfs2-1.2.1.tar.gz cd ocfs2-1.2.1 ./configure make make install # TOOLS: tar zxf ocfs2-tools-1.2.1.tar.gz cd ocfs2-tools-1.2.1 ./configure

Hello, I am using dovecot with mdbox+sis and I notice an ever increasing disk space usage since I converted mailboxes from Maildir to mdboxes. I have checked with a user and while it actually uses only 65K, his mdbox files on disk are more than 6G. The backup of his mailbox is just 64K. Any suggestions ? Below are some relevant commands: [root at mail ~]# doveadm quota get -u test Quota

Yes I have done it, it is the third command I have run, without any change. a.

Shot in the dark here...haven't tried it myself so no promises. There's probably a much better way to do this but sometimes a little "brute force" helps. Theoretical steps: 1. Stop all mail processes - both SMTP and IMAP. 2. Use "doveadm sync" to backup the user mailbox, e.g., doveadm backup -u user mdbox:/tmp/usermail 3. Verify /tmp/usermail looks reasonable
