Questions still about a uw-imap -> dovecot conversion
The more I read about all of this, the more I'm thinking about moving to
maildir format. My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the
way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home
directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory.
Some how, Horde/Imp seemed to keep track of it. Dovecot is not doing so
well.

subscriptions vs mailboxlist
Is there a way to change the name of the .subscriptions file that
dovecot looks for to .mailboxlist to be compatible with WU-IMAP? It
would be handy for testing and conversion if you had that.
BTW - I'm a new user and your software is very well designed.

IMP 4
Dear All,
anyone installed IMP4 on Centos 4.1 yet, http://www.horde.org/imp/4.0/
if so what problems did you have, I have a webmail server I am going to
upgrade to Centos 4.1 and Imp 4 from its current centos 3.3
implementation and imp3
This is going to be a labour intensive manual task, and I wondered if
anyone else out there was mad enough to have tried it already....
Failing that just

upgrade from version 1.0.3 to version 1.0.7
Im working on upgrading to dovecot-1.0.7 from version 1.0.3 which I
installed using yum. I backed up my init.d stuff so everything still
works. However, when I shutdown my old dovecot version and start the
new, I get an empty mailbox when logging into mail. My current config
for dovecot.conf on version 1.0.3 has this for my mailbox

Dovecot losing .mailboxlist files
Hello!
I am running a site that has two servers, 10 000 users in both, Solaris
9 and home directories with mbox mailboxes shared with NFS.
Indexes are kept separately in both server, on local disks, both servers
are serving imap (from NFS mboxes).
We are trying to convert from uw-imap to dovecot.
Servers are currently running on their limits and now i have mysterious

dovecot rpms, .subscriptions file, mbox to maildir
Hi,
I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few
questions:
1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not
sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very
well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching
to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because:

Subscription file
Background:
We are a UW-IMAP shop, using mbox format. (!)
We are in the process of upgrading to Dovecot, hopefully to 1.0 proper. :)
One of the modifications we have been using in test versions of Dovecot
involve the move of the user subscription file from:
IMAP-root/.subscriptions
to:
$HOME/.mailboxlist

Question re: .mailboxlist to .subscriptions migration
Hello. I'm in the final stages of installing Dovecot on a new server,
and then will be migrating user mailboxes from an older server that was
using UW-IMAP. I realize that I will have to rename the ".mailboxlist"
file to ".subscriptions".
But, I have a question about the "mail/" directory part that appears for
most mailboxes in each users .mailboxlist file:

.mailboxlist location
Greetings.
On our 1.2.9 setup, we are finding that .mailboxlist (we recompiled to
use this name rather than .subscriptions) ends up in the user's ~/mail
folder. We'd like this file to be stored in ~/ instead. Is this
possible without changing namespaces (for UW compatibility) and/or
userdb mail location?
Thanks!

Namespaces and subscriptions
I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from
UW-IMAP.
I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the
Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc.
hidden namespaces.
The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the
clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix.

I'm confused about my namespace parms
Hi,
I'm new to the list and to dovecot. I'm having a strange situation that provides
no errors, so I'm having a little problem diagnosing what's going on.
I've been running a Centos 3 mail server with sendmail for our company for quite
a few years. I finally got approval for new servers this year and put Centos 6.2
on it. I'm sticking with sendmail, but that's not

displaying IMAP folders that are in ~/mail/ at same level as inbox
Hi,
We are moving our current IMAP based system to a new one with dovecot
All I can get about the current IMAP (imapd) system is:
IMAP4rev1 v12.264
dovecot version is:
1.0.rc15
In the existing system I can see IMAP folders that are in ~/mail/ with many mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook, Seamonkey and horde). These folders are presented in the client software as being at the same level

Multiple namespaces seems to be used at the same time
I've just converted from an old Centos 3 box to a Centos 6.2 box. I've
switched from UW-imap to dovecot in the process. In my configurations,
I've placed the multiple namespace sections as suggested by the
"Backward compatability" part of the wiki. I use mbox since I mostly
copied the home directories from the old to the new server.

folder subscriptions
Hi,
I've got a lot of users using uw-imapd(yah, yah, I know)
I'd like to get them off of that and onto dovecot at some point in the
indeterminate future.
so excluding bizarre path resolution things that uw-imapd has left
around. is it more or less cp ~/mailboxlist ~/mail/subscriptions?
It looks like that - but I wanted to verify :)
thanks

Namespace, prefix questions
We've got some users who are using Outlook Express version 6. The client
allows me to specify the root folder, but not a prefix or namespace. I'm
still struggling with some users on our new server that have crazy imap
folder layouts, so I've got a few questions.
When I specify the root folder, does that bypass any namespace/prefix
definitions on the imap server?

Dovecot and horde issues
Hello,
First time poster to this list, please be kind.

IMAP Folder paths
Hello,
we like to use dovecot, but our old imapd used to store the paths of the
folder in the file ~/.mailboxlist. This file contains something like
this:
mail/read
mail/dovecot
.netscape/imap/mailbox
.Mail/foo
Each line with a path to one mbox folder. And please pay attention that
there is no path to the inbox, because this is stored on the server...
Is there a way to use this

Migrating from UW-IMAP
Greetings.
I've got a poorly conceived and implemented system I'm trying to migrate
off of. Right now we've got 20K accounts or so, in mbox form, under
UW-IMAP. Eventually we're going to move to Maildir format, but the
first step is to move to Dovecot on one of our imap servers as a proof
of concept. In other words, all config changes have to take place on
the dovecot
