similar to: 2.1.x changes and dsync -- Wiki suggestion

I'm looking to convert my mbox mailboxes over to Maildir. But when I try to run the dsync command: (changed with my variables) dsync -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username found on this dovecot v2.X page here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat I get an error that it can't find the "convert" plugin. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

On https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat we see: mbox -> maildir migration. Set mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir and run dsync -u username mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username but NOWHERE that I can find is the ?mirror? command documented on the wiki. What are ALL the options here? (and it?s interesting to note that dsync is a symlink to doveadm). Thanks! --

I've been trying to convert an existing set of mbox mail to maildir using dsync, but it seems to fail when it gets to the large boxes. $ dsync -Dv mirror maildir:~/Maildir Everything seems to work reasonably well until the first of the large boxes hits: dsync(jeff): Warning: Maildir /home/jeff/Maildir/.cron.2010-07-10: Synchronization took 1210 seconds (102289 new msgs, 0 flag change

Hi -- I used to run two mailservers with identical MX priorities (poor man's fail-over approach) with Maildir mail folders accessed by Dovecot. Synchronization has been achieved using unison, mirroring all files except dovecot index files. Once in a while some oddities could be observed, like reappearing of deleted mails, duplicates and such alike. But the all-over performance was quite

Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see any way to disable in the compile-time options. Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot --build-options" and "dovecot --version"?

Hello, when I try to convert from mbox to mdbox with dsync with one user it always panics: # /opt/local/bin/dsync -v -u userxy backup ssh root at minerva1 /opt/local/bin/dsync -v -u userxy dsync-local(userxy): Info: Papierkorb: uidnext changed: 161 != 1 dsync-local(userxy): Info: INBOX: uidnext changed: 9139 != 9105 dsync-local(userxy): Info: Trash: uidnext changed: 3924 != 3915

Hi, I use dsync to backup mailboxes from mbox format to mdbox on a remote system. The first run for a user with dsync is OK, but during the second there are lots of the following errors: dsync-remote(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory Example: Mailbox has children, delete them first I see no way how I could influence the order dsync deletes mailboxes. This happens with

I?m trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat * Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/ * Then I had run /mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mirror mdbox:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com<mailto:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com> but that

Hi -- I'm used to dsync my two mailservers running 2.0.16. Today, I did upgrade one server to 2.1, and doveadm sync is throwing to following error: mail> doveadm sync -f -u test ssh vmail at remote-host.tld dsync -v -f -u test doveadm(test): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. It should be empty (default mail_location) in the namespace to be converted. Same error with

I'm trying to download Julian Fitzell's scripts to convert mbox to Maildir format from the wiki page at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat But when I click on the links for the scripts it just sends me back to the same page rather than downloading the scripts. The links in question are http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mb2md.tgz

Hi there, We're trying to convert users from Maildir to sdbox at present; I'm using dsync to achieve this (2.0.16) however when the user's have been converted we only get minimal information in the caching files. Is there some way to preserve all the caching decisions that were previously made so that when the user logs in to the new mailbox we don't have to cause an io storm

Hi everybody, I have a virtual user setup that is using maildir, and I'd like to migrate it to mdbox. Following directions from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat and keeping in mind that my maildir is in maildir:/mnt/vmail/%d/%u, after having updated 10-mail.conf I have tried to execute: dsync -u "user at domain.org" mirror maildir:/mnt/vmail/domain.org/user

Looking at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat, I do not see much on how to do a migration from Maildir to mdbox. That page isn't quite updated it looks. I have several domains (virtual) with the following storage layout: /var/spool/virtual/$domain. So the users have their mail stored as follows: /var/spool/virtual/domain1/$user/Maildir /var/spool/virtual/domain2/$user/Maildir

Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

Hello! I'm moving Dovecot from a FreeBSD Jail (on ZFS using Maildir) to an Amazon EC2 Debian host. 1) I was on Dovecot 2.1 on my FreeBSD system but upgraded it to 2.2 so I could use dsync for the transfers. Is dsync the best way to migrate my data? 2) On the new Debian host, is there a better filesystem than EXT4 that I should use for the mail storage? 3) On the new host, is mdbox

A few days ago by dovecot installation started behaving weirdly. First it was doveadm fts optimize which would fail (a thread running about that) and now it's dsync, which means my backups are not working. This all started a few days ago, which I find a little weird, because I haven't messed around with the dovecot setup in months. I've been searching the internet, but didn't find
