Hello, I'm now dealing with funny problem. I try to use Dovecot (2.1.rc1, actually) and mbox format to store old mailing, to keep logic of "one folder = one file". If I'd choose Maildir, I'd be able to create hierarchical folders (like "OldMail -> Maillists -> Dovecot"), and in fact on disk such a folders would be stored as real folders with dots in

Hi, I'm going to migrate my company-mailserver to new hardware. I would like to take the opportunity to archive some older mail. But I would like to have it still accessible, would this be possible with dovecot ? I mean, I would like to put that older mail from different users (I got about 50 users) on some read-only media but mount that media in the users mail-dirs. That way I will have

Well, my Dovecot server (v2.0.8) is up and running, and now it's time to migrate mailboxes from the old mail server [Lotus Domino Release 5.0.8] running on Windows NT 4.0 [ancient -- been the mail server since Aug-2000]. I saw "dsync(1)" and thought my troubles were over. Only I can't figure out how to make it work with the NT/Domino server as a source for mailboxes. I guess

I don't know if this tool already exists, or if not how difficult it would be to implement, but the following is an excerpt from the man page the developer needs to write ;) - "imapcopy", a command-line utility that connects to a given IMAP account and copies the mails to a second IMAP account. This is accomplished using only IMAP commands and may be used with any IMAP compliant

Hi, I have set up ImapcProxy based on the wiki2 page. My server is set up for no plain text auth without starttls. When I am trying to login in the proxy server, I am getting an error Unknown username/password. The log says: *dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<xxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<1pBG/03XogB/AAAB>*

While migrating users from Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 to Dovecot 2.2.12 (compiled from source) dsync aborts with a backtrace on some (maybe 15 out of 800) mail accounts: (same error happens wiht or without -f flag) dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u user at domain imapc: <snip> dsync(user at domain.com): Debug: brain M: in state=sync_mails dsync(user at domain.com): Debug: brain M:

is really a royal pain in the butt. most of the conversion tools only do a partial job. mb2md seems to be the best but it does not convert the from line correctly unless you are using exim for an MTA. It also does not get the file status right so everything is written to the new maildir directory. something else that makes the process painful is when you have folders containing mailboxes.

Hi, If this is a redundant post I apologize. I am running 2.4.20 on what has been a very stable Athlon machine for months, tried to move a 2 GB file from an ext2 partition to an ext3 and kjournald crashed.

Hello, I try to setup a IMAP proxy for my old Exchange server. Running Dovecot v2.x on Centos 7. So far I follow http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy and it seem to work. The only but major thing is with this setup - the communication between proxy and backend is not encrypted. :( To fix this, I changed the config and add: imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_port=993 but it doesnt work, because of

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 6.3, x86, files are on NFS, except control and index files, which are local, on UFS2. It's moderately loaded, there are usually not more than 30 clients simultaneously. dovecot runs fine for 3-10 days, then people can't connect any more, and dovecot says: Nov 18 13:20:44 dizzy dovecot-auth: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP

Hello, I have some (possibly very simple) questions about subscriptions: I store my old mails in /home/oldmails/ in one Maildir where I have only read-only permissions (I cannot delete, create or modify any files). Under thunderbird, I can successfully log in and read my new mails, but I cannot subscribe (?) within thunderbird to oldmails (it is grey not black as other folders). What did I do

Dear sir, I have to set up a mail gateway which will be explored to Internet and a secure mail server in the Intranet. I need a smart imap proxy in the mail gateway which will fetch the mail from server and present to user through either a stand alone mail client or a web mail client. All authentication is through ldap server. I followed the instructions given in

I want to move my home server over to a new machine, both running CentOS. (The present server is running CentOS-5.7, the new one 6.0.) I'm thinking of moving things over one at a time, starting with email. I'm running IMAP on the server, with my email in ~/Maildir/ . I'm wondering what exactly I need to copy to the new machine? Any help or suggestions gratefully received. --

Fortunately, it just involves reformatting the data and a little reconmfiguration of dovcot. If you can find the tool and disk space, it's well worth doing. Of course, when running a proverbial

Hi, I couldn't find any decent documentation about the IMAPC feature. Could someone please explain the purpose of this feature? In particular, what are the differences between IMAPC and reverse proxying? Thanks.
