Trying to figure out the syntax to set a mail_location for SQL. This doesn't work: userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/master-combined-sql.conf override_fields = mail_location=maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/fakedir:LAYOUT=fs } Does anyone know the proper syntax? Thanks in advance

It would be handy (for me) if there were a userdb where a directory structure defined the db. userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/email/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } The idea being that if the first directory doesn't exist then it will try the second one.

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

Hi again, I'm still trying to find out if anyone knows the correct way to either switch the existing Maildir multiple file format to the single file format I believe known as MBox. Failing that, though it'll mean a LOT of work for me to manually convert all of the existing Maildirs, how do I get dovecot to work in future in MBox single file format. I tried

I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert. If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in

Hi guys, this page needs to be updated: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Control_files (link was from here: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation) Section 'Control files' is mentioning only 2 files but, in fact, Dovecot will store some additional files in CONTROL location: dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.* subscriptions (anything more?) Even more, page

I'm in the process of moving from LDA to LMTP (Postfix upstream) prior to a transition off `nix accounts to virtual accounts and am stumped by LMTP reporting ??? dovecot: lmtp(10019, jeff at example.com): Error: Relative home directory paths not supported: 0 LDA does /not /have any problems with PAM or passwd-file passdb/userdb and the ubiquitous definition of ??? mail_location =

W/o downtime: see the wiki page below, the "Converting" section. Briefly for my case something like this should work and generally seems simple (no syntax checking yet, pseudo-code like): * Configuration uses mail_location = mbox:~/mails * setup per-user mail location and do for each user individually in a serial manner: -- doveadm sync maildir:~/Maildir; mbox is synced to Maildir,

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that good at reading directions. Trying to use dsync. Getting this error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Currently using maildir. The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location =

Hi, I am experimenting with the migration. I unset mail_location, thus it is empty and dovecot performs automatic mailbox detection. Therefore I do not need per-user set of mail location. I login as a testuser and do: doveadm sync maildir:~/Maildir It seems for me that in this situation the new Maildir becomes the active mail delivery location at the time of the creation(?) or completing the

Hi all, Hopefully, I'm sending this to the right place... Can someone guide me on changing the Maildir messages files back to the single file format I used to have instead of the dovecot.index /cur /tmp /new format my newer server currently has. I'm running dovecot v1.2.9 postfix v2.7 on Ubuntu v10.4

Hi, I'm almost ready to migrate Courier to Dovecot 2.2.31 but I have one question about home and mail directory. It's good idea to have same directory form home and mail ? Which scenerio will be better and why ? For example: A) Home: /home/doamin/user1 Mail: /home/doamin/user1 B) Home: /home/doamin/user1/home Mail: /home/doamin/user1 C) Home: /home/doamin/user1/ Mail:

Hello all, I am trying to do something very simple - at least thats what I thought. I have some fs, it contains folders and subfolders with email files ordered like maildir. Now I try to set up dovecot on top simply to let some imap account watch these email files. But I cannot see any folders at all. I can create new folders and see them, but I cannot create subfolders as subdirs like

Short version: What is the correct way to configure the mail_location option for Mailidr format? I've long had it setup this way: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n based on this guide: https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-mysql Is that correct? Longer version: After upgrading from Dovecot v2.0.x to v2.2.x yesterday I'm coming

In reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation it is not clear to me the syntax for setting mail_location inside a userdb block. --
