I'm getting an error backing up mailboxes. I'm using the mirror command: dsync -fvo mail_home=/home/users/bob mirror ssh vmail at 10.1.4.1 dsync -o mail_home=/home/.incoming_mail_migrations/users/bob dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailboxes don't have unique GUIDs: 1ef6ee37c694894d783100000581a675 is shared by INBOX and INBOX dsync-remote(vmail): Error: command BOX-LIST failed

I looked around the 'Net to see if there might be a custom program for offline Maildir to mdbox conversion. So far I haven't turned up anything. The problem for us is that the dsync program simply takes a lot of time to convert mailboxes. I wonder if time could be saved with a program that is optimized to convert mailboxes without the fancy locking that dsync needs to do. Does have (or

Hi all, We are currently using snapshots and rsync to backup a large mail server to a backup mail server. I have been looking into using dsync to replace rsync in hopes that it would make backups more efficient. I decided to test the performance using a single mailbox. Unfortunately dsync seems to run much slower than rsync. Rsync was able to sync the mailbox in 2 seconds. dsync took over

I'm moving/converting email from one system to another The source system is: Dual core x86_64 6GB memory 180 GB raid1 disks ext4 Fedora 9 Dovecot 1.0.15 Maildir format The destination system is: Dual core x86_64 2GB memory 1TB raid1 disks ext4 Fedora 18 Dovecot 2.1.15 sdbox format I am moving mail in a series of steps: 0) cd ( to mail user home directory ) mkdir Maildir 1) # rsync mail

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating mailbox from one dovecot server running dovecot 2.1.9 with mailboxes stored in maildir format to a newer one running 2.1.16 with mailboxes stored in mdbox format. To migrate mailboxes I'm using dsync as explained at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync. The command I'm running in the newer server is: sudo dsync -o mailbox_list_index=no

Hello everyone, Is it possible to use DSYNC between dovecot 1.2.15 and 2.1.7 servers ? Precisely replicate a dovecot 1.2.15 server to a 2.1.7 server ? Best regards. -- Rapha?l Garcia

Hello, Since recently (not sure when), dsync stopped working. dsync -u klink mirror XXXX dsync-local(klink): Error: remote: dsync-server: invalid option -- 'l' dsync-local(klink): Error: remote: doveadm dsync-server [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] dsync-local(klink): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF I did not change anything on my setup but dovecot was

I'm using dsync for a regular backup. The backup system flocks so that two cannot run at the same time, which is generally a good thing. The problem is that it seems like dsync sometimes goes off into the weeds and never comes back, leaving a process running and doing nothing forever, hogging the lock and causing my backups never to run again. I just finally figured out that was what was

Hello, I have an intermittent but frequent problem using dsync backup. The command outputs: dsync-local(user): Error: proxy client timed out Then dies with exit code 75. Any subsequent attempts to re-run the backup invariably fail like this: dsync-local(user): Warning: Destination mailbox INBOX has been modified, need to recreate it before we can continue syncing dsync-local(user): Error:

I just tried to migrate one of my users from maildir to mdbox using dsync. My conversion script is checking the dsync exit code to know if the conversion goes fine or not, and surprisingly dsync returned "0" at the same time as it gave the error: Error: Failed to sync mailbox .ta\ vare\ p? ... (sorry, lost the rest of the error message) Changing the folder name to mUTF7 manually

Hi, I am looking for a way to sync only selected files/mailbox'es using dsync. Am I using the dsync -m option incorectly? It looks like it's being ignored. And as for the main INBOX (/var/mail/username) what should be the parameter for -m? dovecot --version 2.1.7 dsync -u pj -D -v -m Alerts -o mail_location=mdbox:/home/pj/mdbox backup mbox:/home/pj/:INBOX=/var/mail/pj doveadm(root):

Dear all I have a few public folders setup and working fine, and one such public folder is 'Public/General'. I'm trying to sort dsync replication out to another server and notice that the system log is full of error messages similar to: dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(username: Error: Can't update subscription Pu blic/General: Invalid mailbox name The replication setup

I have not seen mention of using dsync for clustering Dovecot in some time on the mailing list, but I believe Timo was going to write a wiki page when v2.2 became more mature. Does this documentation exist yet, or are there any resources on what dsync replication is capable of at this point (looking on the wiki and google didn't reveal much)? Thank in advance.

Hello List, i only found an old post of tiemo where he announced that he will do an wiki article how to setup dovecot cluster with dsync over ssh. anyone knows if this artcile exists and where? i would like to setup a dovecot cluster with 2 machines. thanks for help marko

Hi, I'm trying to use the Dsync cluster feature in a simple setup, without director, but I'm having some troubles. First of all, I want to know if this functionality syncs the mailbox when the user receive a mail or only when the dovecot starts? Reading the Dovecot mailing list and the design description for a dsync-replicated Dovecot cluster, I understood that it should sync every time

Hi again, I found chan_skinny and that seems to work pretty good. the SCCP one filled out all the buttons really nice, but skinny seems to be working. How do I fill out the second line button on the phone with skinny.conf? Thanks much! ...Jeff

We are currently in the process of replacing one of our customer mail systems with a dovecot solution. However, one of the sticking points right now is how to get the old mail to the new system. On the dovecot side, we are using mdbox storage. On the old system we are using qpopper/mbox mailboxes in the following setup. All user inboxes are in /mnt/mail/mail_spool. Only select, privileged,

Hi, It seems that dsync-2.2.7 doesn't correctly synchronize subscription status of a renamed mailbox. The situation is as follows. There are two servers: A and B, and a test user test_mdbox. Mailboxes (mdbox) of this user on both servers are synchronized. Specifically on both of them there is a (subscribed) Test1 mailbox. Replication plugin is disabled. I rename Test1 to Test2 on A with

Hi, It seems that dsync 2.1.10 does not correctly handle renames of mailbox subtrees. The scenario is as follows. There are two servers, A and B, both running dovecot 2.1.10 and configured to use mdbox. Automatic replication between them is disabled, ie. replication plugin is not active and replicator service has process_min_avail = 0. I perform the following actions: 1. On A: doveadm mailbox
