similar to: 1.x with mbox files to 2.x with mdbox, I think?

With mdbox, what does dovecot lock when "pop3_lock_session(pop3): yes"? Specifically, I'm wondering if Dovecot LDA is able to deliver mail when a session is locked, if using mdbox, or if it will tempfail until the session is unlocked? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

Hi again, after replacing CRLF in 4 mboxes dsync was able to sync all of the 30+GB mailstore to mdbox. Now the (repeated) calling of dsync yields info messages of the kind dsync(athimm): Info: old/speicher: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: root/root-heretic: highest_modseq changed: 1 != 10 dsync(athimm): Info: lists/ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma: highest_modseq changed: 11

Dear list, dovecot version: 2.1.7 I have an old mail server that uses mboxes for the INBOX and maildirs for subfolders. I want to migrate our mail handling to a new setup using mdboxes for everything. The current config looks like this: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1127) # OS: Linux

Hi, I'm trying to convert a 33GB mail store from mbox to compressed mdbox (largest mbox is 2.7GB). The source store is live, e.g. there are mails delivered into it and mails are being read. Actually it is my own mail. :) Although my test runs were very successful I have run into trouble with the first run on the whole store. After fighting a bit around with errors like Error: Trying

Hi, We are trying to convert all mbox mail on our systems to mdbox using dsync, in order to be able to use email sub-folders in Thunderbird. Everything works fine for non-inbox folders, however the inbox folders are not getting converted. We used: *dsync -v convert mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* *dovecot --version* 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef) (shipping with RHEL6/SL6) *dovecot -n* #

Hi! ? I have several mbox files (unstructured, only the big?plain mbox?files) and I would like to integrate/read these mbox files into mdbox subfolders of specific users.? This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (or whatever) their mailboxes.? I am sure it is pretty easy.? Can someone

I'm testing deliver with sendmail and fs quotas. On an over quota condition, deliver accepts the mail, deletes it, then issues a MDN immediately. Is there a way to get deliver to soft fail like procmail does with a 400 error and queue the mail, then let sendmail handle the MDN, following it's "confTO_QUEUEWARN" and "confTO_QUEUERETURN" ? Thanks, Ken -- Ken

I'm using dict quota like so: quota = dict:User quota::file:/[path]/quotas/%u [path]/quotas/ is a tmpfs. The idea is to do less work on disk. Other than forcing dovecot to rebuild quotas on a reboot, are there any downsides? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

This doesn't seem to affect clients, but I'm seeing an occasional pop3 error in the log over the last week. Any ideas what is causing this?

Hi all, I think it would be a good idea for me to move from mbox to mdbox, as I have 57,000 messages in my inbox, and clients hang for a minute whenever they request a CHECK, or Dovecot feels the need to run one itself. Looking at past threads: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg35212.html http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/53936 it seems that the safest way

Hi, In preparation for a migration from maildir to mdbox, I am using dsync backup to do initial mailbox copies (at this point I do not want to risk any changes to the maildir). The initial run of dsync runs fine, but a second run to migrate any changes since the first run produces errors for many users. Here is an example of the type of error produced: > # dsync -u user backup mdbox:~/mdbox

I finally migrated my mails from mbox format to mdbox format using dsync: 1. Stop dovecot, wait a few seconds for processes to die 2. dsync convert mdbox:~/mdbox 3. Change mail_location to mdbox:~/mdbox 4. Check that no new mails arrived during conversion (alternatively I could have just run dsync again, but I decided not to test my luck) 5. Start dovecot After fixing a pretty bad bug in dsync

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST

Hello, I'm converting my mailbox from Maildir to mdbox.. The Maildir is from an 1.2 server. The new server is a virtual FreeBSD ZFS server. The conversion is not working, I'm getting either segfaults or the sync just quits with errors. I also did set with mmap_disable=yes. This didn't resolve the problem. How can I fix this? The same conversion on a virtual ubuntu 14.04 box works

I've been running continous dsync backups of our Maildirs for a few weeks now, with the destination dsync server using mdbox and SIS. The idea was that the destination server would act as a warm copy of all our active users data. The active servers are using Maildir, and has: $ df -h /usr/local/atmail/users/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/atmailusers

And /bin/doveconf namespace namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = mdbox:/var/mailboxes/%%2Mu/%%2.2Mu/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts

I saw that before but there is only maildir -> mdbox but not mdbox -> maildir Did I have missed anything there? ?On 6/18/19, 9:59 PM, "dovecot on behalf of @lbutlr via dovecot" <dovecot-bounces at dovecot.org on behalf of dovecot at dovecot.org> wrote: > On 18 Jun 2019, at 15:18, Benny Pedersen via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org> wrote: >

Hi Timo, thank you for the hint, but it doesnt seems to work. doveadm sync -u imap at test.de 'doveadm -o mail="maildir:~/Maildir" -o "mail_plugins=quota" dsync-server -u imap at test.de' Also tried -o mail=~/Maildir .. -o maildir:~/Maildir .. The log throws an error: Feb 21 13:05:35 doveadm: Error: Panic: io_add(0x1) called twice fd=9, callback=0x7f49baa06840 ->
